I am trying to install and use LaTeX on my Mac. I have used it on Windows before without issue, but after installing MacTex when I try to typeset a document in pdflatex it comes up with an error, even though nothing has changed in the code from when I created it in Windows.
On my Windows PC I used TeXworks to edit, and MikTeX was installed. I feel like the issue must be that I don't have a particular package installed on my Mac but I don't know what it is. I tried to install MikTeX on the Mac but I can't download it, and I've been lead to believe that the MacTeX package should provide the same functionality.
This is the start of the code, and the point at which it appears to get stuck:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt, twoside]{article}
\usepackage{geometry, graphicx,float,appendix, times}
\usepackage[font=small]{caption}
\geometry{
a4paper,
inner=30mm,
top=20mm,
outer=25mm,
bottom=40mm,
}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
...
This is the output that shows when I attempt to typeset[1]

I'm afraid I'm really a novice with this sort of thing so any help would be appreciated!
The error message you show indicates that there is some error in the .aux file. This can for example happen if the previous compilation did not finish successfully or if one switches between tex distributions that might have different versions of latex and/or the packages.
Delete all the auxiliary files and compile again
