Cant open MT4 on mac after reinstall

[yeze Lim]

I deleted the Metatrader4 file in open data files inside the application inside then uninstalled the application on my macOS big sur.

After that i downloaded the ready-made mt4 package from https://www.metatrader4.com/en/trading-platform/help/userguide/install_mac

Once installation done, i can't open the application as it force quit immediately.

for my opinion, the main problem probably is i deleted the file in open data files and it can't find the file to load the mt4. I can't found the way to insert file back to the location as the place seems like inside My computer/drive_c/program files and it totally not found on my mac.

Do anyone faced this problem before can teach me how to solve it.

Topics concerning MT4 and MQL4 have their own section.

In future please post in the correct section.

I have moved your topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.

Hi Yeze Lim, did you find a solution for your problem ? I have the same issue, I think. 

thanks

SOLUTION:

Open finder and press CMD + SHIFT + .  (yes the dot)

This will show you the hidden files.

Find :

System/Users/"your username"/Library/Application Support.   -  inside Application Support folder you should see a MetaTrader 4 folder.  DELETE IT!  Now you can re- install mt4 and it will be a fresh installation like when you first installed it originally.

Hope this helped.

Hi, I have a same issue here. Try to figure out your solution but I cannot find a Metatrader 4 folder on Application Support folder. Any advice? I am using Mac air M2, if that would help.
