Unable to open Alice 3 in MacBook

Hi everyone!

I searched the forums but could not figure this one out. I run a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8. I run Java J2SE 5.0 with the latest update. When I click on the Alice icon in the Alice 3 folder, the icon will briefly appear in my dock then the program crashes and it closes. It will simply not start up. I installed Alice 3 twice, once online and the other I downloaded then installed, but that didn't help any. Advice??? I'm a teacher and I'd love to try my hand at 3 after making some games with 2.2.

Thanks in advance!

I know this is a necro post and maybe it's been fixed, but I had the same issue just this weekend when trying to install on family Mac Mini. There was a folder in the contents package of the app that had permissions set for my admin account (I installed the package) but no access for everyone else. All others seemed to work.

This was Alice 2.2.
