I am just learning about this and I think super contributions need to be in a electronically compatible format going forward . The ATO has produces a list of software programs but Manager isn’t on it .
Just recently I signed up for cloud edition but didn’t realise I needed to log in every time I needed to use Manager . Instead I was selecting the icon in my doc and just working in the desktop version and only just realised this so tried to import my work into the cloud version but it said the file was invalid .
It sounds like you tried to import the downloaded application itself instead of a backup. Manager will import and convert backups from older versions of the program, so that is not your problem.
Well , I just imported the whole business again from the desktop version which seemed like the simplest solution and worked fine .
But why don’t I have an icon for the cloud version that I am using ?
The desktop version remains in the dock …
The cloud version runs on another computer. You access it via a web browser and internet connection, probably here. You can make it easier to find the web location by:
Bookmarking it in your web browser
Saving a web link on your desktop or dock
You can make it harder to accidentally running the local Manager program by
Removing the dock link
Removing desktop links
or uninstalling the desktop version
You may want your local computer support person to help you with this
Now having updated everything my email settings need to be also and I am not having any luck here .
Outgoing server iCloud , username my email address and password I assume being my apple id and selecting both ports on offer .
No. The SMTP server is the one given to you by your email provider. Your username is normally not your full email address. And the password is the one that goes with the username by which you access your email account, not your Apple ID. See https://www.manager.io/guides/10643,
In the end I contacted apple support to discover I needed to create an app specific password in order to successfully to complete the set up because I have an iCloud email address .
