Matlab 2014a won't open in Yosemite

Whenever I try to open Matlab, I get this message. Any solutions? (Also, it worked perfectly well when I was on mavericks)

This should be addressed by applying the steps of the second bug report you find here.

That got rid of the error I was getting before, but now I'm getting a new error :\

[Mac]

Nevermind, I found the answer! :) Had to download a patch, then it worked perfectly. Thanks!

How did you resolve the new error? I'm getting the same one when I try to open this version of MATLAB.

Josh,

you need to download the appropriate patch located over here:

Just follow the instructions, should be fine.

Thank you so much! That sorted it all out really easily :)

I used this solution and it worked for my laptop but it does not work for my desktop. On running the patch dmg the matlab 2014a folder selected from Applications says "Folder does not contain valid Matlab installation". Any suggestions?
