MATLab crashes on launch OS X Yosemite
Temporary solution:
change the 10.10 in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist under ProductVersion to 10.9 or lower can solve you the problem.
However, it forbids Safari, Mail from booting. Thus you can only choose one to use a time, and change the ProductVersion back and forth.
**UPDATE: (OFFICIAL FIX) **
Mathworks has released a patch for Matlab 2012a ~ 2014a. Use this link to download the appropriate patch for your version
There is another issue with Yosemite Beta 2. It prevents Matlab from running at the very first point with this error message:
You can’t use this version of the application “MATLAB_R2012b” with this version of OS X.
The solution is:
- find Matlab application file under Applications folder
- Right (Control) click and select
Show Package Contents - Navigate to :
Contents/Mac OS - Right (control) click on
startMatlab - Make an Alias
- Copy the Alias to another folder e.g. your desktop.
- Run the alias.
You will still need to have those temporary fixes that were used in Beta 1 for running Matlab.
Here is the tutorial video for fixing the problem (on Beta 2)
and as a reminder here is the video for fixing crash on Beta 1
Definitive solution. It runs fine without system hacks or desktop aliases.

A fix that allows you to launch and run both MatLab and the Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite standard apps all at once is to set the ProductVersion to 10.90 instead of 10.9 or 10.10.
