I use TexShop in a Mac computer. Suddenly (after I transferred some file I compile with another program in another computer) TexShop won't compile anything. I include the picture with its message.enter image description here

Can someone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?

  • either pdflatex isn't installed or you have el capitan version of the OS and they changed things: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/270485/after-migration-to-macosx-10-11-el-capitan-how-to-run-simple-utilities-such-a – David Carlisle Nov 01 '15 at 14:41
  • I do have El Capitan indeed. This must be the problem since I had none before that. – user39726 Nov 01 '15 at 14:45

The default path for interpreters on El Capitan has changed to:

/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex

Try changing the path in the TeXShop to this one.

You can confirm this on your machine by running which pdflatex in terminal.
