Noodleinsoup Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi Affinity users The last time I used Affinity Photo 2 was at home, I was editing pictures on my NAS. I didn't quit Affinity or close the images when I finished. I'm now far from home - and the NAS - but every time I try to start Photo 2 I get beach balling and a system dialogue box comes up ' There was a problem connecting to the server "(name of home NAS)". I've tried deleting user prefs in user library and it starts as far as a splash screen thanking me for buying Photo 2 and asking if I want to import user content from the previous installation but then whichever option I chose - I've tried it twice - I'm back on beach balling and the system dialogue reappears. Any help much appreciated Thanks Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Skinner Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'm away from my NAS and have solved this by downloading from the app store. If this is a fixed version or it resets things I don't know. It picked up my registration detaisl and now seems to work. Leigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCAS_48 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I have the same problem. I am far away from the server and can now not use Affinity Photo. This makes it pretty useless for business. When will this bug be fixed in a new software upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
