Open Steam Game In Second Monitor Mac

May 19, 2009 Wondering what if any games can support dual monitors for mac. I have a 2009 Mac Mini with two 22' monitors set up (1680x1050). I have Call of Duty 4, TOCA 3 and a few others and would really like to take advantage of the two monitor setup:apple.

    I've trawled the internet and found no fix for my issue with steam on my Mac. Anyone got any ideas? Get a PC is not a fix unfortunately.
    Whenever I try to open steam all that happens is the steam icon bounces on the bottom of the screen indefinitely. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Steam but for some reason I get the same issue every time. Any ideas?

    When this happened to me I found a forum post somewhere that listed which files in the Steam install location to delete. It forces it to rebuild them which then often cures the issue. The Mac client is a shonky abomination sadly.

    Try this: 'Go to Finder. Then Library. Then App Support. Then Steam. Mov registry.vdf to trash. Reopen steam.'
    Another thing: when you reinstalled did you restart your Mac between uninstalling and reinstalling? I've had issues with some Steam service not getting terminated which causes problems. It's rare. Maybe three times in six years. I've had Steam refuse to start on my Windows machine twice in the last year mind. Might have too many games.

    I did try this but I couldn't find the folder. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

    Didn't Steam drop support for older versions of the MacOS a while ago? If you're not on the latest that may be the issue

    I'm still on OSX Mavericks I think but can't be certain. All I know is that they want me to install the latest update and make all of my current apps incompatible with the new OS

    Click on the Apple icon (top menu) > ' About This Mac' and it'll tell you your OS version. An old version of macOS could definitely be causing your Steam issue.

    I'm running OSX 10.9.5 It doesn't seem too old. Should I update? Would this be causing the issue?

    @TAJB The folder should be in the Library folder within your user directory:
    Macintosh HD > Users > Your Username ƒ > Library > Application Support > Steam
    If you were using the 'Go to Folder' command in the finder menu it would be: ~YourUsername/Library/Application Support/Steam

    So I just searched my steam folder and found no Registry.vdf file to delete. Any suggestions?

    Deleting the /appcache directory has been known to work for some (on Windows as well as Mac). Or just move it if you don't want to risk deleting it outright.

    The 'registry.vdf' file will be in the root of the Steam directory, so if you can't see it it ain't there (most likely because you have a fresh install).

    @TAJB It might be a permissions issue. Open up Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder which is in the main Applications folder), select your hard drive on the left and click the 'Repair Disk Permissions'. It might pay to reboot after that but I'm not sure.
    You could also try resetting the PRAM by restarting/starting up whilst holding down the CMD, ALT, P, R keys. Keep them pressed until the Mac does the start up 'bong' another time.

    So i deleted App Cache and Registry.vdf after fixing permissions with Disk utility and I'm still having exactly the same issue. Nothing seems to be working and now when I check finder the folder directory can't be found even though I was just there?

    Just to confirm - this is only happening with Steam, right? All your other usual apps are working as expected?

    Download an uninstaller from the app store (one that gets rid of *everything*) and then reinstall it.

    Oh, here's a silly question: it hasn't opened in another desktop space has it? It should switch to the space when you click on the icon, but I'm in clutching at straws territory now.
    Another question: you said you'd reinstalled steam, but as you didn't have permission to see the files mentioned above I'm assuming you didn't try deleting the directory first? Kill the WHOLE directory. Restart. Then install Steam.
    We're sort of into head scratch territory now.

    Dunno if it will help but maybe delete the 'com.valvesoftware.steamclean.plist' from the Launch Agents folder in your user Library.
    Another thing to try might be to create another user account (on your Mac) and see if the problem still occurs when logged in with that one.

    So I deleted the entire registry and reinstalled and I'm still having exactly the same issue. It hasn't opened anywhere else and when I right click and select show all windows it shows that there are no open windows for Steam. Completely dumbfounded.
