I upgraded my OS X to Yosemite and now my IntelliJ IDE is not starting.
Here is the error message:
To open “IntelliJ IDEA” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.

So, in order to fix this issue, go to C:\Users\<your_username>\. IntelliJIdea<version>\config (or your OS' equivalent) and delete the idea.exe. vmoptions and/or idea64.exe. vmoptions file from there.
IntelliJ IDEA is a cross-platform IDE that provides consistent experience on the Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. IntelliJ IDEA is available in the following editions: Community Edition is free and open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
IntelliJ IDEA supports Apple Silicon starting with v2020. 3.1.
That's right, Apple fans, you can now work in IntelliJ IDEA on your Mac with an M1 chip.
What you need to do is go ahead and edit this file:
/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 13.app/Contents/Info.plist
Replacing this:
<key>JVMVersion</key> <string>1.6*</string> with this:
<key>JVMVersion</key> <string>1.7*</string> Edit: As said by intellij member @crazycoder, the recomended way to total fix this is to install the latest jdk 1.6
