Not compatible with macOS High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma

Sorry this is not a super technical post, but just realized my beloved iTunes controller isn't working in the newest version of macOS Sierra (10.12). Let me know if I can help in any way to get it working! Thanks so much,
Adam

I won't be able to upgrade to Sierra for a while because some of the software I use isn't compatible. But in the meantime, somebody else may step in and see what needs to be done to get Synergy compiling on the new OS.

Please notify me albs, Synergy is super useful widget, been using it for at least 10 years.

Worked great on Sierra but with High Sierra it just crashes and I can't get it to open. Hope you can fix it, the best of it's kind of software by leaps and bounds!

Merging #8 here.

Personal note: I'm on Sierra still. I upgraded to High Sierra but it hosed my system so I had to do a clean reinstall of Sierra and will likely stay there for a while.

I share the sadness that this great tool just stopped loading. I've been using it for years too. For me, it had been working fine in High Sierra, but the recent update to 10.13.2 gave it the problem. Hoping there's a fix someday.

Try “BarTunes” - works as well, free from Apple Store

Yep, BarTunes was the best replacement I could find as well. Just not as visually appealing. I miss my aqua blue buttons :-) But it’s great to have those buttons back on the menu bar.

Just wanted to add my voice thanking wincent - I bought and used Synergy for years - almost every day. I appreciate it wincent, and look forward to a High Sierra version...

Wincent - Another LONG time Synergy (paying) customer. Please/please/please update Synergy for HighSierra. (BarTunes is NOT a viable replacement). Happy to pay!!!!

Am I an anomaly? Have been A-OK with Synergy and High Sierra, updating macOS not too long after HS was released and have used Synergy daily. Only thing I can think of is that I do not start Synergy in the normal manner. Years before HighSierra I wanted to open/quit iTunes, Synergy, and a couple other "related" applications all at once. I made a couple Automator apps to do such but Synergy didn't behave. So I pointed Automator's 'Open Application' action to Synergy>Package Contents>Preference Panes>Synergy.prefPane>Package Contents>Helpers>Synergy. Perhaps doing so would work for others - not making an Automator app but simply drilling down to the above and adding that to your Dock or however would make it work for you.

I just tried to open Synergy Preferences and, yep, "Synergy Preferences quit unexpectedly.

Oh man, thank you. It works perfectly. You are a god among men. I added the 'Synergy' app from that location to my login items and am good to go. I admit it's a bit strange how much pleasure I get from seeing those blue buttons at the top of my screen again, but there you go. Thanks again!
