I just dowloaded LbF 2.0.2 Mac. It opens but all I ever get are three throbbing dots. I previously had LbF 1.x on my Mac, but deleted it because it had stopped working. Any suggestions? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/1X/1abb33d635e8be276e31fbac90d06917dfa13f5d.gif) ---

You might try switching back to 2.0.1 – see [this thread](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/hangs-on-starting-local-machine-after-2-0-2-update/1704) (worked for me 🙂 ) ---

Resolved. I quit LbF. I opened VirtualBox, stopped the LbF boxes, and deleted them. Then I opened LbF. ---

For some reason if I have Safari open when I try to start Local by Flywheel I have this issue. If I quite safari and then try to open Local by Flywheel it seems to work, most of time. Then I just open Safari after Local by Flywheel has started. ---

I’m trying to install 2.0.3 and it hangs on the installation: waited a good 30 minutes: screenshot: [http://d3fy.xyz/FW4Am](http://d3fy.xyz/FW4Am) Any ideas what I can do? I’m also a previous Pressmatic user, and Im running OSX Things I’ve tried are: 1. remove virtualbox machines 2. completely uninstall Local By Flywheel and try again ---

@clay - after deleting and re-installing the app for the 4th or so time it crashed as usual, but when I tried again without removing the files first, it worked. I don’t have any of my previous sites of course, but at least I can finally use LBF. So I guess no need to look at the log file, unless it will help others. ---
