If you get an error like this: You cannot open the application "amule" because it may be damaged or incomplete, right click on amule then click on Show Packages Contents, go to Contents>MacOS> and double click on amule. Next time you start from amule.app it will run fine. If you still get the same error, move amule.app to the desktop and run it from there.
