Hi Dave, Thanks for your message. Whilst trying I moved the toolbar away from the bottom to the side of the screen. When I looked for the ‘button’ - NOTHING. !
You’re the OP, Original Poster. that remark was made to @mac7595 because he suggested that you go to the Task Manager which, as I wrote, is a Windows thing but you are using Mac. He removed his post after I made mine.
Your mac should have no problem running SketchUp Make, but I’m not quite sure where you were downloading from. With the Mac version there has never been a 32 vs 64 bit version (in fact, that is not longer an option for Windows, any more!).
I woudl suggest getting rid of whatever you have installed and downloading the Mac installer from THIS PAGE.
Make sure to download the MAKE version of SKetchUp from the MAC OS column:
I have had it with Sketchup Make. Please can somebody tell me how to uninstall ALL OF SKETCHUP MAKE and I will forget the whole product forever and go back to a drawing board. At least that works. I have spent far too much time on a useless problem
@lewiswatteau
Please reread the preceding posts in detail…
@TheOnlyAaron gave a link to the v2017 Make MacOS download.
Please get it and [re]install it.
If you are prompted for a license etc it is NOT Make - it’s actually a Pro [Trial] version !
If you have that installed then uninstall it, before retrying a Make installation.
We must assume you know how to install a MAC app ?
Literally thousands of users manage to do this every week, so somewhere something is going wrong in your case.
Everyone is trying to help you.
But if you don’t give us clear and full details of what you are trying to do we can’t be 100% effective…
Perhaps a blow-by-blow description would help us help you ?
When the programme reaches the screen asking for a template selection I notice that is also asks for programme serial number. Does this indicate that it is not MAKE but pro? It says the user is ‘make’ but it is asking for details on PRO. Would this indicate that the original installation that worked was Pro and worked for 30 days. Now it won’t open for that reason ?
If I look on “Launchpad” the sketchup icons are not removable. Is this why I can’t uninstall Sketchup so when I download Make it won’t open as Pro is still in the programme file ?
I would gladly comply but I don’t know how !! Sorry
I have downloaded Make and can get to the template page on Make. I can open the tutorials but there is no Start using Make button. If I enlarge the screen or move the tool bar to one side there is no Start button. On “Launchpad” (MacBook pro) there is icons for sketchup that can’t be uninstalled. They just might be for PRO I can’t tell.
The software worked well and I have lost all my work. I had the screen changed and also two logic boards, So apple are not without faults, maybe this is another one ?

Lewis: first, let’s learn to take a screen shot on Mac. It’ll be a great skill for you to learn.
Open Preview.app
Hold down these four keys at the same time: Command, Control, Shift, 4
If your cursor doesn’t turn into crosshairs with numbers next to it for your X and Y position on the screen, stop and figure out why by reading Take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support
Now in Preview.app, click File->New from Clipboard or type Command-N.
