Server Version#: 1.26.1

Plex no longer open on my iMac, running 10.15.7. When I click on the Plex icon in Applications it expands out but nothing happens. Have tried deleting app and reloading (twice). Anything else ~I can do?

Check console to see if it’s crashing.

A common overlooked cause, no more HD space - drives are full.

Try the “[plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064)” (search in forums for the mac instructions).

Good luck.

When PMS launches, the main app hides.  
When it’s running, there should be a Plex icon in the top-right of the menu bar.  
If there’s no icon it probably isn’t running.

Can you access it at [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) ?

There’s no icon - I’ve been using Plex for a few years and it’s always worked until now. I can’t access that link I’m afraid.

I found this in console:

May 20 08:24:18 Nicholass-Mac-mini com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.plexapp.plexmediaserver.2324[74252]): Service exited with abnormal code: 255

There’s plenty of room in the drives.
