Don,

Yes, I can confirm this.

I am getting the message "You can’t open the application “IDV” because it is not
responding."

Poking around the Internet, you can find other applications having the same
problems on yosemite, but I have yet to see a solution referenced. We will keep 
looking.
Let us know if you find anything on your end.

BTW, the workaround is to run the IDV (multiple times if you want) from the
terminal.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
