JimmyJack Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Beta confusion & download problems. Unlike the AD Beta forum section there is nothing pinned over here. Over there, we have the current Beta pinned and a thread anticipating beta 1.5. It's perfect for easy reference. Here, I have no idea what the current Beta v is and..... where it is. When I open my Beta (1.4.1 beta 4) I get a warning saying that it's expired and I need to download the latest Beta with a link to this page. Fine. The only thing I see with a Beta version on it here (at the time of this writing) is a thread halfway down the page for Beta 3. No idea where to go now. So I have Beta 4, I can't seem to find a Beta 5, so maybe the current 1.4.1 MAS version is the latest AP version. If that's the case, then there should be something Pinned that states that. I do need to update my MAS. I have tried many times. I only get a nondescript error message "An error occured during purchase". No luck. What do I do?

Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi JimmyJack, You can find the latest Beta (1.4.2 beta 1) here (disregard the thread title which was not updated - it was an oversight). In any case it was a small update. If you install it you should get the Beta running again. Sorry the confusion. Regarding the MAS purchase: open the App Store app, go to the Purchased tab and check if you have Affinity Photo listed there. If so, move the existing Affinity Photo MAS version from your Applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Purchased tab. If it's not listed there and you have bought the application, you need to contact the Mac Apple store directly since its Apple who manages all purchases. You can do so (Report a Problem) from this link. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you MEB! Is it possible to retitle that thread and pin it? I can't be the only one looking for it. It may be a small update, but without it I would have to drop back down to MAS 1.4. Any advice on the app store error message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi JimmyJack, Usually those threads are always pinned at the top until we start new one with the next Beta. This is the first time (if i remember correctly) that it was unpinned without a new release. I don't know what happened but if someone has unpinned it, there was probably a reason - maybe a new Beta was coming and then delayed due to some critical bug found on last minute. I will try to know what's going on before changing anything. Regarding the error message it's quite vague. We don't have any way to help you from here since all customer's records/details/purchases etc are managed by Apple itself. Do you have received the invoice that Apple has sent to the e-mail associated with your Apple ID? If so just contact them and they should be able to solve this for you.

Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just an update regarding the Photo Beta's thread: There should be a new Beta pretty soon so we will not change/pin the current thread to the top. Instead a new thread will be created as soon as the new Beta is released. JimmyJack and maritan 2 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
