Blender 2.78c, and any previous version for that matter, also hangs on iMac OSX Sierra right after start-up.

Could you start Blender from terminal and tell us what console output looks like?

@Danial-14 What is your default scene? Run blender --debug --factory-startup and see what is outcome of that.

My default scene was simply a camera and lamp. Running the terminal with the additions you said results in this output...

Just to make sure, which macOS Sierra version do you have? I can't reproduce here.

I have 10.12.5. It was running perfectly fine a month ago on 10.12.4.

Ok, I just have now and it comes up with the same Terminal output as before, only with different version numbers obviously.

UPDATE: I just got it working. I updated my CUDA drivers and it loaded without a hitch.

Ah. Having CUDA on non-nvidia platform is quite uncommon :)
But good to know, as there might be people using thunderbolt-pci chassis.

My iMac actually has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB :)

I have same issue, the 2.78C and 2.79 keep hang on when start up everytime, Imac with latest iOS, the situation starts when I upgrade blender to 2.78(on 2017.06.10) and open a blender file (download from bt, its a file create on 2015)
I try to use 2.77 and work 3 days until 2017.07.12 afternoon, when I click the world icon it crash...and keep crashing that way...
My client will be mad soon..

@happpywky, did you try the solution suggested here, upgrading the CUDA driver?

When try to open 2.78 in terminal with sudo, it returns following text:
blender(1052, 0x7fffe18f23c0) malloc: *error for object 0x10e261fc0: pointer being freed was not allocatedset a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

1051 abort

if run command line without sudo, it will be only different with:

952 abort

if I use 2.77 to continue my modeling, click world icon to crash keep happening everytime, but if I start a new file and everything just fine...but I've been working with that model for 3 month....My deadline are just in 2 weeks..
