  1. My Fl Studio does not open on Monterey... It bounces into the taskbar but nothing happens. I saw that many people had this problem but I didn't see a solution.

    Try going to System Preferences/Security/Firewall/Firewall Options and add FL to your list of allowed connections.
    On Monterey this worked for most people.
    But before that try and hold Shift down whilst opening FL until it opens.
    It's interesting; they say it is for High Sierra + but they don't actually let on if it is compatible with Monterey.

  3. It did not work, I know a solution which is to launch the demo of 2.8.4 but I could not in my computer and the demo on the site of image line is now 2.9

    I'm not a Mac user, but maybe this will help you:

    Go to your firewall settings and add fl 20 to your list of allowed connections.
    System Pref>Security>Firewall>Firewall Options>Add fl20 Application

    go to applications right click on the fl icon check the box that says rosetta and it will open

    How to use FL Studio on a Mac

    1. Install the FL Studio native macOS version (requires macOS 10.13.6 or higher)
    2. Run Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp (you will need an official Microsoft Windows OS installer) and install the Windows version.

      • Yes, that's what I said above, but the Audiowarez crack stops at 2.8.3

        I don't know what you mean by 2.8.3 or 2.9
        Latest update for macOS is 20.9.0.2256 (24 Dec 2021)
        Monterey is the latest macOS and there's a lot of sw which is unsupported yet.
        Imho no one should expect warez stability under the latest OS (sometimes even legit users can't expect that)

        Why FL Studio is not opening?

        If FL Studio not opening then could be a couple reasons. Did you download the software or install from disc? If you downloaded, you may want to uninstall the program and then reinstall. Be careful to follow closely where your program is being stored as well as your plugins and sound files.

        Can you run FL Studio on Mac?

        If you already own FL Studio, that license can be used on both Windows and macOS machines. You may make multiple installations on any computers you own.

        Can FL Studio run on old Mac?

        Does FL STUDIO for Mac, macOS run on older OS X versions? While you may find FL Studio works on older versions of macOS than indicated above, we do not support it on those versions.

        Is FL studios better on Mac or Windows?

        It's been a long time in coming on Mac but we think it's been worth the wait as the Mac version of FL Studio delivers almost everything that makes it so great in Windows. It's important to note from the start that some VST plugins are not yet compatible with the Mac version of FL Studio.
