Yes, double click the DMG, then double click the installer inside the DMG.How do I run the installer again? Just double click on the dmg file?
Hmmm... okay try this. The Synergy pref pane will be in one of two folders.Well, when I double click the dmg, it shows a folder called Synergy with a Synergy icon in it. When I double click that, a window pops up that I cannot click or get the focus of.
/Library/PreferencePanes
~/Library/PreferencePanes
Run the below command in Terminal tell me what you find. That should show all files with the name synergy on your system.No mention of Synergy in either of those.
mdfind -name synergy
jons-imac:~ jon$ mdfind -name synergy

Hmmm... I thought Synergy installed a Preference Pane, but I don't see one there. All I see is the app itself and a plist preference file.Output is below:
rm -rf /Applications/Synergy.app
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.http-synergy-foss-org.Synergy.plist
Source: http://superuser.com/questions/456960/how-to-completely-remove-synergy-v1-3-1-from-mac-os-x-10-8I had the same issue and resolved it like this:
in the Synergy prefpane, turn off synergy and remove its menuitem
in a Terminal window, type mdfind -name synergy
for each file related to Synergy, remove it:
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/SynergyKM.prefPane (et c)
I saw that same post, and that is why I had you looking in those pref pane folders. Apparently the newer version does not install that pref pane or you would have seen it there in Finder. Also the mdfind search would have shown it (pref pane) there if it existed.I saw a post where someone said this:
How does the sudo thing differ from your recommendation? Not sure what sudo stands for.
I downloaded it earlier trying to help you and the installer was acting weird like that for me too. I notice on their site is says the Mac version is a beta, so I wonder if it is not quit ready for prime time.I'm new to Macs so learning fast.
After following your code (thanks), I have reinstalled Synergy. Now when I run it, I get the Server or Client? wizard instead of the main screen. However, I cannot click anything on it.It won't let me click the checkboxes to choose Server or Client. Or even let me move the window around.
