LeapFrog Connect quits unexpectedly on MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1

We have owned a LeapPad 2 for nearly a year now. LeapFrog Connect worked fine on my original MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. However, when trying to open on my new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1 I continued to get an error message as below:

Nothing seemed to work I couldn't find an answer on the boards at all. I finally found a solution after much trial and error.


  • Run the LeapFrog utility program found here. (This is a safe download from the leapfrog site itself).
  • Select the option "Uninstall LeapFrog Connect"
  • Select "Complete...like it was never there."
  • When the uninstall is complete restart your MBP.
  • Run 'permissions repair function' in Disk Utility.
  • Select your startup disk, click the 'First Aid' tab, and then click 'Repair Disk Permissions.'


NOTE: Disk Utility will reset any files and folders with incorrect settings.


  • Reinstall LeapFrog from leappad.com/install.
  • Plug your LeapPad 2 into the USB slot on your MBP and open LeapFrog Connect.

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz), iOS 7.0.4

Any update for this with El Capitan?


The program worked fine under it until the latest update to Leappad Connect, now it unexpectedly quits every single time. I contacted support and they basically linked me to here and then when I said half of those steps aren't available under El Capitan (like repair permissions) I was told to find another computer.


Maybe someone on here is more helpful 🙂


Thanks in advance!
