Thanks for the idea, Thomas! I wouldn't be surprised if it was as you write. I've been watching various videos last night where the problem of an overpriced piece of junk (Trashcan) quietly losing support is being reported by many. It leads me to the idea you yourself expressed - to quietly let it disappear and forget. How apt! That's why I think this is the cause of the sudden problems for me as well. I just regret spending a lot of money a few years ago on something that is almost unusable today. I'm not giving up yet though, I'll continue to experiment. I just want to ask you, if you have any more ideas, please don't hesitate to share them with me. Thanks!

Hallo Thomas, now my computer has returned from Apple branded service, stating that it is perfectly fine. Load tests were performed, error messages were checked, a factory reset was performed, and Big Sur was reinstalled. I checked the operation of other necessary applications (Final Cut Pro X, Compressor, Motion), which I use for work - without problems. After installing Affinity Photo still the same result. The application does not start at all (rainbow wheel) until the start of the set stops (the application does not respond). It's incredibly frustrating, I've been using it for a long time, suddenly this ... The Mac Pro from 2014 isn't old, I think. I don't know who to contact. 😞

Hi Chris, thanks for the information. The problem persists, but as it turns out, it is probably a hardware issue. For example, Final Cut Pro is also not working properly. If I can solve it, I will be happy to share my experience. Thanks, Libor

Hello there! The latest version of this app 1.9.3 cannot be run. I bought it on the App Store and I've been using it since version 1.7.3, no problems so far. I use it in a production environment and without it I have a big problem. Configuration of my Mac Pro (Late 2013): Model ID: MacPro6,1 Processor: 3 GHz 8-core Intel Xeon E5 Memory: 64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 Startup Disk: APPLE SSD SM0256F Media Graphics: 2x AMD FirePro D700 6 GB L2 cache (per core): 256 kB L3 cache: 25 MB Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled System firmware version: 428.0.0.0.0 SMC version (system): 2.20f18 There seems to be no connection with the latest update to Big Sur 11.4 (20F71), as the problem persists after formatting the disk and installing 11.01 cleanly. I've swapped all the RAM modules for other ones, started the system from another disk, still the same: "Application not responding" (rainbow wheel), in short it won't start at all. I have done a thorough hardware analysis, everything looks fine. I contacted Apple support, no solution was found. The situation is critical for me, could you please advise? Thanks a lot, Libor
