All of a sudden plex media server program won’t load or work on a mid 2011 Mac mini , 10.11.6
Have used for 3+ years never had any issue then all of a sudden it won’t work , reinstalled still won’t run or load
Is this setup finally out of date or is there another issue ?
Plex should be running on macOS / Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or newer.
Which exact version of Plex Media Server have you installed on your Mac?
Can you manually check the logs from ~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Server/ if those show what’s preventing Plex from starting – related info should be in Plex Media Server.log. Otherwise feel free to upload that file here (or zip the entire PMS log folder to attach it).
How did you Uninstall before Re installing?
Downloaded from plex then did a fresh install wouldn’t work then reverted back to old version
I’m running OSX El Capitan 10.11.6
How did you uninstall as per support doc
The media server program doesn’t work , won’t load , won’t run
I downloaded a new media server program , it won’t run won’t open won’t do anything
The original is still installed , but again no PLEX programmes will work
I’m assuming it is no longer comparable
I understand what you have originally stated. You are compatible but believe you have a Corrupt Database. As I have previously said, you need to completely uninstall by following the uninstall instructions correctly. Not just changing the Application container, that will not work. Failing that you are able to update your OS to High Sierra to further future proof your instillation
Here the compatibility of OS to your Hardware.

Hint: (Hold down the option key and the Library will appear)
You could try a Database Repair…

Hi
Followed all the steps to uninstall ,and the ones you mentioned still won’t launch or work
Pretty much given up now
Im having same problem as well - on 2018 Mac mini running latest version of PMS on Big Sur 11.4…
Are you running a Big Sur Beta?
I tried to open the download. It said its out of date. I’m running Mac OSX Monterey
Is that related to this thread?
Mind sharing some more details – e.g. what you’ve downloaded (and from where) and under what circumstances you’re getting that message?!
A post was split to a new topic: Playback issues w/ Plex Web from server running on Mac
Running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 on a MacPro 5,1. Downloaded Plex Media Server version 1.23.6 today. I have never used Plex before, but would like to start. I dragged the file to the application folder, but when I tried to open the file, I get the message: “Plex Media Server” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.
In system preferences, I can only select ‘App store only’ or ‘App store and identified developers’.
Any thoughts?
Go to the follow in System Preferences and allow (Open Anyway) where the red arrow indicates after trying to open the Plex app.. You will have to also allow App Store and Identified Developers if you downloaded the app from
