jimfastcar Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 When I first started using Affinity it was on a MacBook. I then got rid of the Mac and purchased an iPad Pro which I have been using for a year or so, well.....I am back to MacBook (long story), but when I go to look for Purchased Apps, I only seem to find the iPad version to install. Is it different ?, and if not, why does it say iPad on the opening screen ? My Affinity files are on the iPad, any advice on how to port them over to the MacBook MacBook is running latest OS Big Sur 11.1 Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Did you perhaps purchase the Mac version from the Affinity Store? As for transferring your files, you should be able to do that either via iCloud or by using AirDrop.

Nope, I actually have the receipt email from Apple - purchased March 31, 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in https://affinity.store/account/downloads and see if you find your application there. If so, it will have the download link and the product key and email info you will need to get it registered. Or, make sure you're signing in to the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID you used for your original purchase, if you don't find it in the Affinity Store.

GaryLearnTech Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Sounds like you've got one of the new M1 (Apple Silicon) MacBooks. App Store Purchases can be toggled to show native Mac apps or your mobile apps. There's a simple toggle, shown below: Alfred and Old Bruce 2 Quote —— Gary —— Photo/Designer/Publisher: Affinity Store, v2.4.n release Mac mini (M1, 2020), 16GB/2TB, macOS Ventura 13.4.1(c) • MacBook Pro (Intel), macOS Ventura • Windows 10 via VMware Fusion • iOS: current release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfastcar Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Ah, this could be it, I do have the new chip. Let me look into that, thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfastcar Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Sorry for the inexperience, attached are a couple of screenshots. The first is Affinity on the Mac, the second is on the iPad - when I open Affinity on the iPad it opens with the saved pictures and I click on the + sign to import a new one to be edited. It looks like I do have the Mac version on the Mac, but grateful for confirmation. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryLearnTech Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 That looks fine to me. I'm pretty certain that Serif have specifically prevented the iPad versions from being downloaded onto the new Apple Silicon machines, so I don't think you could have done what you were concerned that you had. (At least, not without doing something like side-loading, which I've seen some discussion about - but if you had done that, you'd know and you wouldn't be here asking these questions! 😀) Quote —— Gary —— Photo/Designer/Publisher: Affinity Store, v2.4.n release Mac mini (M1, 2020), 16GB/2TB, macOS Ventura 13.4.1(c) • MacBook Pro (Intel), macOS Ventura • Windows 10 via VMware Fusion • iOS: current release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimfastcar Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Please forgive me, I am restarting everything...... I do have the Mac version on the Mac ! I have gone back to my Udemy tutorials and started from scratch as the Mac interface is so different from iPad one. File > Open. The only pics I am seeing are the edited.jpg format pictures not my RAW pics which are visible in the Photos App on the iPad. Is this a question of creating a default in Affinity for where to search for the picture to be edited ? I use a Sony camera and do not know the extension of the Sony RAW file, is that it ?

For the Affinity Store you would login at https://affinity.store/account/downloads and you'll find the application and the email address and product key you may need during the reinstall.
