You probably still have an Intel-mac rather than a Apple Silicon one (M1, M2, M3). The big blue free download button downloads the Silicon one, but below that button is a link to the Intel one.
Oh thank you all so much — ive downloaded that onne and it installs ok…however it has not picked up my original install so not sure how to get this to show my business name to open…
If you use a Mac you are supposed to drag and drop the Downloaded file in the applications folder where it would ask if you want to overwrite the existing one, which you obviously would do.
You can always import your backups you have of the businesses into the fresh install. Note that you can then no longer open them in the old version.
ok thanks but i dont see Manager listed in my applications folder – it is on desktop - I dragged. the new version onto the one on desktop and it asked if i wanted to overwrite which i did --but when i start it my business is not there…
If you searched the forum you would find answers, so next time do not expect a further answer to this.
On the Manager homepage on the bottom-left you would see a link to the business data folder. In your case you may need to change the folder to where they are actually stored. For older installations the location would be
If you know the business filenames (you should as you made backups) then you can search in finder for where the originals are and change to that folder.
The date is not important, what is important that those files are not where you saved your backups but the folder that it was stored in as active working files. So you use Finder to find .manager files and their location. Once you find a location then set your Manager default folder to that one which never should be the folder where you backup your business files.
