The error indicates the pd core has crashed or is not running. Sometimes this also happens if the pd proves has hung in the background. Open Activity Monitor and make sure there is no "pd" processing running, if so then kill it.
As a test, try running the pd core from the command line in Terminal:
/Applications/Pd-VERSION.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
You can at least see some info. You can also run it with the -verbose flag to see even more info.

Hello,
So I have a student with a Macbook Air. Pd 0.47.1 that she downloaded hangs and quits as detailed here: https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2016-12/117154.html https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2016-12/117154.html
then miller said he maybe fixed? https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2016-12/117157.html https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2016-12/117157.html
So I just tried the version (recent test) i recently compiled and that opens (sort of) but I get now Pd window. I did get error:
Not connected to 'pd' process Not connected to 'pd' process while executing "error "Not connected to 'pd' process"" (procedure "pdsend" line 6) invoked from within "pdsend "pd audio-properties"" (procedure "::tk::mac::ShowPreferences" line 3) invoked from within "::tk::mac::ShowPreferences"
shes on macbook air 10.2.5 (sierra) 13" early 2015
I know there has been trouble running Pd on Macbook Airs in the past and would like to nail whats wrong. let me know what to do to test while I have access to this machine for the next couple weeks.
thanks!
