Currently OBS will not even open on my MAC. It’s been doing this for months. Multiple versions of MAC OS and OBS. Currently I’m running MAC OS 11.1 and OBS 26.1.
The application just doesn’t open. It says Not Responding.
I checked my settings and OBS is allowed access to all the areas I can allow it.

please help I need to use OBS for my YouTube Channel.

The below process fixed my problem.


To delete your scenes files, do the following:
1. Open a Finder window.
2. From the "Go" menu, click "Go to folder...".
3. Enter the following: ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/basic/scenes/
4. Click the "Go" button.
5. In the window that opens, you should see a number of files that end in .json. Delete the files that correspond to your scene collections. This will delete your scenes. If you haven't given your scene collection a name, it will be called Untitled.json .
6. You should now be able to open OBS again with a blank scene collection.

Thank you, your answer helped me. I don't know why I have so many scene files. It causes me to be unresponsive every time I open obs. Thank you again.
