i had encountered a similar thing on a students laptop last year and reported here. the reason was the same, but the reason behind why localhost was gone turned out quite entertaining,... http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2011-11/092370.html

to be precise the line 127.0.0.1 localhost was missing in the file /private/etc/hosts then Pd is just bounces in the dock a few times and then doesn't launch without anything useful in the console or crashreporter logs. we stumbled upon the hosts file issue by coincidence. m.

Hey all,
sorry for responding this late. But I couldn't focuse the problem exactly, too much work to do.
However, Max Neupert and I solved the bug today (unsure to call it bug).
My host file was broken, so my computer was not able to setup a localhost.
We reset it and now Pd works fine. :-)
greetings,
Ben

hi ben,
you told me that it used to work. did you try repairing the disk permissions? http://macs.about.com/od/faq1/f/appnotstarting.htm make sure you use reply-all when answering this mail, so it gets to the list too.

Hey everyone,
Mac OS X 10.8.2 offered a new bug in every Pd Version I tried.
When I try to start Pd it looks like it will run (the icon in the Dock bounces up and down as usual), but it breaks up at different points in time, before it comes to an point where the surface of the program is visual.
Any suggestions?
Annotation: last night it worked perfectly, this morning… not.
greets,
Ben
