I updated to Mac OS 10.7 Lion and the TypeStyler 10 (v10.6.75) icon is bouncing on my Dock but TypeStyler won't launch - now what?

If you have tried launching TypeStyler and only have a bouncing TS icon in your Dock there is a damaged file that needs to be removed. There are 2 locations the damaged file may be located. Once the files are removed the System will create a new undamaged file.

  1. You will need to Force Quit TypeStyler.
  2. From the Finder press the Option key while clicking on Go from the menu bar then select Library from the menu.
  3. Open the folder named Icons. There is a file named Webpageicons.db - drag this file to the trash.
  4. While still in the Library folder open the folder named Safari. In this folder is also a folder named Icons. In this Icons folder is another file named Webpageicons.db - drag this file to the trash.

You should now be able to launch TypeStyler 10.6.75 successfully in Lion.


I've done this and TypeStyler still won't launch - now what?
