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?

Searched and searched and I can't find a solution.

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.

quick way to get to library if you didnt know - open finder window, click the 'go' menu, hold the alt/options key and library will pop up in the list of locations

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).
