Fresh MySQL Workbench install not responding on Mac OSX Lion - mysql

I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Lion (10.7.4) installed and MySQL (5.5.24). The CLI works fine but when I install MySQL Workbench (5.2.40) the UI is unresponsive.
The only response I can get is the Manage Connections will highlight and allow me to select it when the mouse is about an inch above it's correct location.
I can create a new connection as normal and connect to the DB but cannot close the tab.
This behaviour doesn't work with the Data Modelling or Server Administration section.
I'm pretty familiar with MySQL Workbench on Linux but this Mac problem has me flummoxed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem and was googling for a solution - finding your post as a result. Meanwhile, got the solution myself. Go to /Applications and open info for MySQLWorkbench.app and check there "Open in Low Resolution". It worked for me (a fresh Macbook Pro/Retina#1920x1200).

Wamp server is not turning green after windows re-installation

My folks out there I have installed my wamp server in E:\ drive and it was running very well but when I reinstalled my windows 10 and now when running the wamp server it is saying that none of 3 services running and I searched a lot for the solution but didn't find any solution.
Please help me find the right solution for this.
Finally, I found the solution for this as I was digging up deeper into the solution I found it on the program itself.
to solve the issue run the wamp server and when it is showing on the status bar
it will show in red color as the services are not running.
Just right click on the Wamp Icon and then hover over the tools option and then new options will appear now click on the Reinstall all the services it will prompt you to allow apache on the firewall click on allow and boom now your wamp server will run correctly.

double installation MySQL on Win10

Some time ago I installed XAMPP on my win10 desktop (AMD Phenom, 8gb). The reason for this is that I want to do some wordpress development.
I now want to learn how to work with MySQL and Python. Do I now have to install a new version of MySQL that runs on Win10 or can I use the currently installation that runs under XAMPP? I understand that when using XAMPP I first have to start up the XAMPP server.
I do not want to experiment as I just reinstalled win10 since I got stuck installing so many application on it.
Is it just a matter of starting up XAMPP and then connecting the database with Python? Will Python recognise it?
All help is much appreciated,
Naveen
You can use the current instance and connect with Python. As long as you have the username, password, and using localhost or an IP address all should go find.

MySQL workbench status "STARTING" not started

MySQL workbench refused to start. The status shown is "starting". I cannot stop it at all as there is no button where I can click. I tried to shut down my PC and wait for awhile but it still refused to start. The status remained starting. I look at other similar problem with me but it is not helpful enough. Anyone know what is the problem?
I am using Windows XP and MySQL Workbench 6.0 CE
According to the requirements-page of MySQL-Workbench here, it states under the section "Requirements for Windows" the following:
Windows 7 and above
And there is also a note:
MySQL Workbench 6.1 supports earlier versions of Windows, including Vista
But it doesn't sound like XP is still supported.
Also, you really shouldn't be using XP anymore right now. Seriously.

WordPress Development with MAMP not working since installing MySQL using terminal

I'm having a problem with localhost servers and databases. I'm by no means a pro at all of this but I've been developing WordPress websites for a short while and have been using MAMP because of how simple it is.
Now I understand that it installs MySQL for you and that Apache and PHP are all included with OS X, but I began learning Ruby on Rails and while I was following a tutorial I installed MySQL manually via terminal and I think I've ran into some collision problems now.
For a while MAMP refused to start the SQL server so I've changed the ports to Apache 8888 and SQL 8889 and now seems to be starting fine (which are the defaults I believe but were different for some reason).
Now I've got two different database locations (I think). One which I can see via the terminal using mysql -u root -p and the other which I can see by launching MAMP and viewing PHPMyAdmin. If I create a database in one I cannot see it in the other, but more importantly when I create the database in MAMP's phpMyAdmin and try installing WP it doesn't recognise it, is this because my username/password may have been changed for MAMP or should it all be the same?
So far I've been thinking maybe I should uninstall MAMP and do a hard reset for MySQL etc and just use the terminal to manage MySQL, phpMyAdmin and Apache etc but I'm not sure - is there a better way to go about this? I am working on a WP website for a client at the moment in tandem with a Ruby on Rails project so need to ideally jump between the two!
Having had a look around this looks like a good guide for running WordPress on your Mac locally... https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/fastest-way-to-install-wordpress-on-osx-10-6/
They also have nice guides for installing Apache, MySQL and PHP as well for Mavericks https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/get-apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin-working-osx-10-9-mavericks/ and Yosemite https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/get-apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin-working-osx-10-10-yosemite/
Hope these help and good luck :)

How to get MySQL server working after OSX Yosemite upgrade?

After I upgraded my Mac from Mavericks OSX to Yosemite, my local Apache and MySQL server setup did not work anymore. Thanks to Apache localhost/~username/ not working I just got the Apache server working but my Joomla application now indicates it can't access the MySQL database; neither can the Phpmyadmin tool.
How to fix this? I've seen instructions for installing MySQL for Yosemite (https://www.computersnyou.com/3376/setup-apache-php-mysql-macosx-10-10-yosemite/) but I'm not sure whether that's the best way forward as my Joomla application still needs to access the existing MySQL db information? E.g., I don't want to lose my existing saved database info of various web applications....
If you had a working native version of mysql working on Mavericks, the mysql preference pane should be still visible in the preferences, just click on the preference pane and start mysql.
Only problem is that mysql does not auto-start on boot, this can be solved by following these steps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26465743/580173
Just Start MySQL Server! It worked for me.
