I have the document open (not for editing, since I use AquaMacs for that), and click on the Typeset or BibTeX buttons; focus shifts to the document console window and the program in question runs; the console window scrolls down but nothing appears in it. Then focus returns to the typeset document window, but there are no messages to show what happened (including any errors that may have occurred). What’s up?

Howdy,

Are you using Dark Mode or Light Mode? Take a look at the Log section in the Themes tab of TeXShop->Preferences. Make sure the Text color and Background color are set so you can see the text against the background.

Good Luck,
