Steam won't open on Mac, the app just bounces once

[arnemelk]

I'm running the latest update on my Mac and I downloaded the 64-bit version of steam. I tried reinstalling it, but this didn't work. The steam app does appear in my dock, but when I click on it, it bounces once and does nothing. Please help

I found out how to fix it! I went to my files and just deleted everything that had to do with steam. So I went in the search bar in Finders, looked up 'Steam' and just deleted it all. After that, I reinstalled steam and now it works! hope this helps

This let me launch again, but Steam again crashed and left me in the same state.

Yes, this worked for me. I used Clean My Mac (but any other thorough app remover should work), then reinstalled Steam and then it went thought multiple relaunches, running some updates, and then it worked perfectly.
