Arduino IDE 2.3.2 Not Working on Macbook Pro 2020

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

When I first started using Arduino IDE, I didn't have any issues and it worked fine on my laptop. However, eventually, it stopped working. I think I downloaded a few codes for different songs to play on my arduino uno and then, while trying to close one of them, I found it hard to close by simply pressing the x button to close the tab/ app. I ended up needing to force close the Arduino IDE app using the force close option on the mac. After that I think, I haven't been able to close the app by simply pressing the x button and have to result to force closing the application. I also can't create any new sketches and the app says that it's offline in the bottom left corner. When I press on the offline button, it says "Cannot connect to backend". I have tried to uninstall and install the application a couple of times but the problem still persists. Please help, I use Arduino IDE for school and have a project that I need to finish T_T.

-Thanks, Kookie

like, tones? Were you using an DFPlayer or similar with Arduino?
What about the Arduino Cloud Editor? Does that work for you?

Yes, the songs were using the tone function. Basically, none of the buttons in the app are working. I am unable to do anything T_T

Checking for update
Update for version 2.3.2 is not available (latest version: 2.3.2, downgrade is allowed).

This is what it looks like when I open it in the terminal (Idk what the proper terms are but I have seen this done in similar posts to detect the problem)

Yeah I was looking at those too and yours isn't exact to any of the similar issues I found. Maybe if we @ptillisch they will be able to decipher this. I just don't know.

No problem, fingers crossed.

Hey, just found this. I'm not a moderator here or anything like that, I'm no expert and I don't know anything about Mac.
I looked at your output and saw this:

sketches-service WARN Warning! The request sketch path was different than the response sketch path from the CLI. This could be a potential bug.

Looks like you run version 2.3.2, so did this guy:

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-ide-broken-after-2-3-2-update-mac-arm/1238740

and he listed the same warning items. I don't know if it means anything. Might be a place to start looking.

EDIT: seems to be pretty common warning without one recurring solution. Sorry can't be more help

I looked at the post that you sent me and it seems like op was able to get version 2.3.0 to work but not the later versions so, I downloaded version 2.3.0 and it works perfectly fine. I saw that @ptillisch replied to their post with some instructions on deleting some folders that might be messing up the app but I'm not super tech savy and don't want to mess anything up so I will just stick with the older version. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

It's not quite clear to me what you mean though I have a feeling that I understand the question.

If you click the reply button associated with the last reply, after posting the reply the forum software does not visually show the difference between a general reply (button at the bottom of the thread) and the one you just posted.

If you click the reply button under any other reply and you post the reply, there is an indication in the reply to indicate to who you did reply. See post #14 that shows that hallowed31 replied to your post; you can click the arrow next to your avatar there to see to which reply hallowed31 replied.

There might be more to it as I can't see with this reply to which reply I replied.
