I open it and it says "playonmac can't run because of a bad language setting on your computer, to solve the problem open a terminal and type: defaults write -gAppleLocale en_US" I'm sorry I'm kinda computer retarded and have no idea what that means.  

Thanks In advance for any response

It says exactly how to fix it in the terminal:

playonmac can't run because of a bad language setting on your computer, to solve the problem open a terminal and type: defaults write -gAppleLocale en_US

Quote


So, open your terminal (it should be in Applications or system applications or something like that) and open the terminal (if you cannot find it, google it).

Now, once the terminal is open, type this:


defaults write -gAppleLocale en_US


and press enter. That will fix it.

Hmm. i dont know. Im not a mac guy. Its basically saying that your computer is set to the wrong language. What language is your mac set to?

Hmm. Thats odd. I have seen this problem a bunch of times, and simply opening a terminal and using "defaults write -gAppleLocale en_US" fixes it. Hopefully someone with a little more mac experience can chime in.

I had the same problem as you did but i think it is because i copied default message from this site. What i did to solve the problem was open terminal, click on the shell menu, then the new command option, then copied letter for letter, caps for caps, the message that was written on the pop up message from Playonmac. It worked after that. Hope this helps!

Well, you dont copy the whole message. Just the command that its telling you to run.

For clarification, that is:


defaults write -gAppleLocale en_US

Okay I did everything and it still doesn't work. What do I do?

 

By the way it says:

"Could not write domain Apple Global Domain; exiting"

Hey I'm having that same problem where the message "playonmac cannot run because of bad language settings on your computer" pops up

I tried writing defaults write -gAppleLocale en_US on terminal but it it didn't work. This is the message I got:

Rep argument is not a dictionary
Defaults have not been changed.
 
Can someone help me please?
