Hope you guys can help me.

When I try to start Bitwig on Mac, the icon keeps jumping up and down for a few seconds, and then stops. And nothing happens even after waiting for an hour :(

I've tried the following:
* Older versions seems to work fine (up until 1.0.13).
* Also I've tried installing java as suggested in this post: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 9&t=430258
* In activity monitor the bitwig process is at 0% CPU and 24kb of size
* Renaming the Bitwig library folder doesn't help either

Some information:
OS X 10.8.5
Macbook pro 2011 17"
Doesn't work on BWS 1.0.14 and up

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the tips guys. Just in case anyone else running into this problem. After contacting support it was fixed by going to preferences -> security & privacy and turning on "Allow applications downloaded from everywhere".
