MarvinR Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I am on 1.10.1 I see there is an upgrade to 1.10.3 but the auto update at start up does not happen. And, I can find no menu option to manually start the update. I am using a Mac running BigSur and my Affinity Photo was purchased from the Affinity Store. Any help appreciated. Thanks Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 If you bought from the Mac App Store or the Microsoft equivalent then those stores will update when they have the updated files in the various 'local' stores. It will happen through the stores. If you bought from Serif/Affinity's web store then the auto update should work.

I did buy it from the Serif/Affinity web store but the auto update did not work. I did notice that the start time was very much longer than normal so maybe it tried and failed. But, I think it should give some sort of message if that happens. So, when the auto didn't work I read the help file and it said to use the Check for Updates from the menu. It must be something they are working on. Thanks for responding Bruce. You and Alfred are both always very helpful. Peace Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I believe the "allow auto-update" setting is separate from the "available for manual download" setting, and auto-update is sometimes enabled later by Serif from what I've seen.

MarvinR Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 @walt.farrell @Old Bruce @Alfred Ok fellas here is the source of the problem. My account at the Affinity Store had been locked by someone other than myself trying to access the account with the wrong password. So the apply couldn't log into my account. Got a notification that attempts had been made from a location that is well outside my area. Anyway, now have the download of the update and will know what to do if it happens again. Thanks again to all. Peace Marvin Alfred and walt.farrell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
