Kami Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I clicked the link from Serif for the upgrade to Affinity Photo 1.5. The link took me directly to the App Store, but there was no update button. It just says 'open' and when I clicked 'open' it opened the 1.4.3 version. On the App Store window, I clicked on updates, but the Affinity Photo is not listed under the updates. What can I do to get my 1.5 version and my free pack of macros? Thank you for your help.

Bri-Toon Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It sounds like there is something buggy going on. You are the second person this happened to. And from understanding your description, you did the right thing by going in to the App Store and in to the Updates section. Looking there for myself, I can see that the most recent version is 1.5.1, so I don't know why it's not showing for you. I wouldn't think it would matter, but did you try uninstalling Photo, and then open it again in the App Store? Maybe it's hard for the system to update because it thinks it is only updating from the previous version, 1.5, whereas it is actually updating from 1.4.3, a much earlier version.

ohHolland Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have same situ as Kami -- no updates are available to my Affinity Photo 1.4.3 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pruus Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Uninstall Affinity, then go in the Macstore to the Purchased tab. Look for Affinity, click on right to install. This is a workaround, but works. ohHolland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Since there are different Mac App Store interfaces for different countries, it might be helpful for those with this issue to mention which country version they are using. There may be some server related problem only affecting one or a few of them. Regardless, several people have had success signing out & then signing back in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase, so maybe try that before uninstalling the app. Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohHolland Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Following Pruus' suggestion, I went to my purchased app tab, and though Affinity 1.4.3 already was installed on my desktop, the status indicated I should "install." I did that and now have 1.5, so thanks!Perhaps there's an old glitch wherein some earlier installs don't "read," therefore updates are not made available unless the installation is repeated, which brings things up to date in the process. Just a guess. I'm not too savvy in such things ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhmdigital Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Similar problem here. I had Affinity Photo 1.4 on both my MacBook Pro and iMac. On the iMac the App Store notified me the update was available and I downloaded and installed without a problem. However no update message from the UK App Store on my MacBook Pro [even before downloading on iMac] and when I clicked on the update button it showed that there were no updates available. I followed Pruus suggestion on the MacBook and was able to download and install 1.5.1 without a problem. Any suggestions as to why I got an update message on one computer and not the other?

Kami Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thanks to Pruus - I placed Affinity Photo app on the desktop instead of trashing it. I went to the App Store updates tab and Affinity Photo showed up. I updated and I now have 1.5. Great! Thank you so much for your advice.

Kami Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Oops - I forgot to say thank you to bleduc as well for the advice. I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 lol no problem. So it sounds like the update refreshed on its own. You said you went to the App Store already in your original post, and the update wasn't there. So I'm not sure how this was fixed. Quote The website is still a work in progress.
