title: Spyder app will not launch on OSX
body: <p>I recently bought a new mac, and I'm having trouble with Anaconda. For some reason, Spyder will not launch. I click the launch-button, and nothing happens. I get the message "Launching spyder-app. Some apps take a moment to start." But then nothing starts.</p>
  
  <p>My computer is running OS X 10.9.5.
  Python version: 2.7.9
  spyder version 2.3.3</p>
  
  <p>So here's what I've done/tried so far:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Installed anaconda twice. First time in /anaconda. I now have it installed here: /Users/Madeleine/anaconda</li>
  <li>Next thing I did was update both spyder as well as conda and anaconda.
  (When I tried to use the "conda update conda"-command and "conda update anaconda" in terminal, I got the message "command not found". But I found a soulution to this. I typed "export PATH=/Users/Madeleine/anaconda/bin:$PATH" and then tried again. It worked. So both conda and anaconda are up to date.)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried running spyder from terminal, and I get this:</p>
