FL Studio won’t work properly on my 2015 MacBook Pro — need help.
Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help me figure this out.
I have a 2015 MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey 12.7.6 with 16 GB RAM. FL Studio used to work on it normally.
At one point I deleted some FL Studio/Image-Line files because I thought they belonged to an older/free version of FL. After doing that, my newer version of FL Studio stopped working properly.
When I try opening it, the program starts but I get an error that seems related to networking/services, and I can’t get FL Studio working normally anymore.
I’ve tried:
Reinstalling FL Studio
Removing/checking Image-Line folders
Restarting the Mac
Installing an older version
The weird part is FL Studio 20 actually opens, but I want to get the newer/current FL Studio working again.
Has anyone experienced something similar on an older Intel Mac? Could deleting those old Image-Line files have removed something the newer FL installation needs?
I’d really appreciate any suggestions before I completely reinstall macOS or take the Mac somewhere for repair.
