Previous support for formats was disabled in Symphony 3. Symphony is based on from (the shell) and 3 (the core office-suite code). In 2009, IBM created development tools for smartphones to link to IBM's software, which also allow opening file-formats, following a full Symphony later. Lotus Symphony 3.0.1 added enhancements including support for one million spreadsheet rows, bubble charts, and a new design for the home page. On 27 March 2012 a first fixpack update for Lotus Symphony 3.0.1 was released.

On 29 November 2012 a second fixpack update for Lotus Symphony 3.0.1 was released. A version of Symphony, called LotusLive Symphony, was launched in 2011. History Symphony has its roots in the IBM Workplace Managed Client component of. In 2006, IBM introduced Workplace Managed Client version 2.6, which included 'productivity tools' — a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation program — that supported ODF. Workplace used code from OpenOffice.org version 1.1.4, the last version released under the, which allowed for release of binaries of modified versions without releasing changes. Later in 2006, IBM announced that Lotus Notes 8, which already incorporated Workplace technology, would also include the same productivity tools as the Workplace Managed Client. In 2007, IBM released Notes 8, and then released Notes' productivity tools as a standalone application, Symphony, in a beta one month later.

The code in Symphony is the same as that for Notes 8's productivity tools. IBM released version 1.0 of Lotus Symphony in May 2008 as a free download, and introduced three minor upgrades through 2008 and 2009. In 2010, IBM released version 3.0. Symphony 3.0 was based on OpenOffice.org 3.0, though not under the LGPL but under a special arrangement between IBM and Sun (who required copyright assignment of all outside OpenOffice.org contributions). And includes enhancements such as new in its user interface and support for macros, OpenDocument Format 1.2,. Symphony 3.0 was originally planned to include other existing OpenOffice.org modules, including an equation editor, database software, and a drawing program.

The software was developed by IBM China Development Laboratory, located in, which now develops. On 13 July 2011, IBM announced that it would donate Lotus Symphony to the.

On 23 January 2012, IBM announced version 3.0.1 would be the last version of Lotus Symphony and their efforts would be going into the Apache OpenOffice project, including the Symphony user interface. IBM planned to release an 'Apache OpenOffice IBM Edition' after the release of Apache OpenOffice 4, but later decided that it would offer the stock Apache OpenOffice with IBM extensions. Lotus Symphony Documents 1.2 Beta on Mac OS X Usage share During the event in 2009, IBM confirmed its cost-reduction effort using Lotus Symphony, with the company migrating its 400,000 users from Microsoft Office to Lotus Symphony. In June 2008 IBM urged its 20 000 'strong-techies' employees to use Symphony instead of and later in September 2009 IBM forced all 360 000 employees to use Symphony. In March 2009, a study showed that Lotus Symphony had a 2% in the corporate market.

IBM's site is a pain to get any information so Is your Lotus Symphony up to date? (3.0.1 looks like it could be the latest?). What version(s) are you all referring to? When it used to work what OS were you using? What 'Kind' of application is it?

Select it in the Finder select 'File Menu Get info' Kind will be displayed in the general section. Universal (should be able to work on 10.9) Intel (should be able to work on 10.9) PowerPC (will not work on 10.9, needs Rosetta which was last available on 10.6) Are you getting any logs when trying to open it? Open /Applications/Utilities/Console & read the 'All messages' section (show the log list if hidden) to see what appears as this app fails to open. Don't post every single log message here just a few sample ones. Have you allowed 'run Applications from anywhere' in the Gatekeeper security settings within System Preferences? Personally I have never heard of this application, so you may get better support on IBM's site or forums, but we can have a go at seeing what could be at fault.

Again OO and Libre both function. IBM's download page says Lotus Symphony version 3.0.1 is for Macintosh OS X 10.6.2, Macintosh OS X 10.7, Intel only I'm not sure if I have the right file (I had to jump through hoops to get to the download, it's unclear if I picked the right option, but it seems correct). I wanted to download it because of the ' Unrecognized Java VM' in your error logs it suggests it may require Java, which isn't shipped on Mac OSX anymore (it's a separate download because of security reasons). IBM don't mention Java is required anywhere, which makes me think the log message is a red herring?

The IBM installer looks like it won't run on anything over 10.7 (10.9 fails with an error) and there is a script inside the installer which appears to check for OS 10.7 & Java installed on the Mac. (you can easily hack the installer to remove the check - but what is the point?). Frankly this isn't Apples fault this doesn't work, IBM don't document the Application requirements (as far as I can see).

You really need to ask IBM, they are the ones that say this OS isn't supported, they are the ones whose installer finishes with this You were lucky it worked OK on 10.8, it wasn't intended to do so. Sorry, the only options you have is to run it on a supported OS, run it on an unsupported OS and accept bugs or move on like IBM seem to be doing. Apple Footer.
