________________________________________________________________
Q: What is the purpose of MacUpdater?
A:
The purpose of MacUpdater is to:
1.) Find out which of the apps that you have installed outside of the 'Mac App Store' are not currently up-to-date.
2.) Get notified automatically about new updates to your (non-'Mac App Store') apps with the periodic (or on-demand) scan.
3.) Quickly be able to update your apps to their newest version with the click of a button.
Q: Can MacUpdater update apps downloaded from the 'Mac App Store'?
A:
Macupdate 1 3 5 X 4
No. Apps downloaded from the 'Mac App Store' need to be updated by the 'Mac App Store' app. However, MacUpdater can open the 'Mac App Store'-app for your convenience.
Notice that you can configure your Mac to update 'Mac App Store' apps automatically so there is no need for MacUpdater to do the same thing as well.
Q: Does MacUpdater have accurate version information for all Mac-apps?
A:
Its probably impossible to have information about all apps, as new ones are created every day. However, we have:
Tier-1 support for more than 5.500 apps. You can update them to the newest version fully automatically from within MacUpdater.
Tier-2 support for more than 60.000 apps. These apps show the newest version information within MacUpdater, but MacUpdater is unable to actually update them. These apps are listed as 'un-updatable'.
Q: Can MacUpdater update each and every (non-'Mac App Store') app to the newest version?
A:
No, and MacUpdater probably never will be able to update each and every app. Some vendors design their apps in a way so that they can only be updated with their own custom updater-apps. Notable here are Adobe and Microsoft. If you want to update those, MacUpdater will offer you to automatically launch the respective auto-updater app. Apart from those, we currently have support for updating more than 5000 of the most popular apps and this number is continuing to grow every day. For more details about app-support see the question above.
Q: Why does MacUpdater not have an 'Update-All' button or scheduled automatic updates?
A:
Most questions of 'why does it not have' can usually be answered with: 'the product is still quite young and we haven't added it yet' (see our roadmap).
However, in the case of the 'Update-All' button, we think there are good arguments against implementing such a feature. Sure, an 'Update-All' button sounds useful at first especially if you have many outdated apps. However, we think an 'Update-All' button encourages the wrong approach to using MacUpdater. Before clicking 'Update' you should check if there may be reasons to delay or avoid that specific update, or if that update can be made without having to purchase a new license (see 'Paid Upgrades' below). Not having an 'Update-All' button avoids a situation where you have installed an update that you would have rather avoided (though our backup feature can come in handy here). Instead of an 'Update-All' button we have implemented an 'Update Queue' in version 1.4 of MacUpdater, you can just launch as many updates as you want by clicking the 'Update' button next to each app that you want to update, and MacUpdater will then update the apps one-by-one. If you have added an update to the queue by mistake, you can just click the 'Cancel Update' button - cancelling is possible right up until the download is finished and the installation has been started.
Note that Apple is able to do 'automatic updates' and 'update all' for the Mac App Store because:
• they have a dedicated team of thousand people who perform quality assurance on all updates and
• all updates in the Mac App Store are guaranteed to be 'free' and continue to work for all existing customers of that app
None of this applies to MacUpdater so we do have to be more careful in order to make sure that MacUpdater users never have a negative experience.
That said, we will implement both features sooner or later, though we will probably use an opt-in feature to avoid possible problems there.

Q: Why does MacUpdater show me some updates (e.g. Microsoft Office apps) before they seem to be available?
A:
Companies often make staged rollouts for applications with a lot of users, which means that they enable updates in groups bit by bit to prevent server overload. So, there is a random delay until your Microsoft or Dropbox AutoUpdater will show you the update that MacUpdater told you about and that is actually released according to their website.So if you receive an update-notification from MacUpdater for an app that has many users, but this app doesn’t find the update when 'checking for updates', just wait for one or two days and try it again.In some rare cases there is also the possibility that a beta-release sneaked into MacUpdater's database, please see the question about 'Beta Versions' below.
Q: What is the roadmap for future versions of MacUpdater?
A:
Our roadmap for MacUpdater contains - amongst many others - these features:
• add the ability to show all apps that have been 'ignored' along with the ignore-reason
• add an update-all button and scheduled automatic updates (however, see here)
• add the ability to update apps directly from the menu
• add the ability to update apps with smaller 'incremental downloads'
• add support for 'non-app' software like drivers, preference panes, plugins, etc
• add support for tracking beta versions
• add support for tracking older releases for apps that have multiple supported versions (see here)
• show more app-information like description, price and user rating
• check signatures and checksums of downloaded app updates, option to refuse non-encrypted downloads
• support for the 'touchbar'
• add the ability to update apps from non-Admin accounts without entering the password multiple times
• add options to specify the specific time of day for the scheduled scan
• improved detection of paid upgrades
• maybe switch to automatic re-scanning instead of scheduled scanning
• maybe add the ability directly update Mac App Store apps

Q: Are any discounts available for MacUpdater, e.g. for students?
A:
We feel that MacUpdater is priced very cheaply already, both in terms of value, as well as in comparison to our competitors. Still, we know that not everyone will be able to pay the full price of MacUpdater. So, we have the following discounts available:
• there is an educational discount of 35% applicable for students and
• there is another discount of 35% for people living outside of the 40 wealthiest countries
To apply for the discount just send us confirmation and we will provide you with the discount-code.
If neither of the existing discounts applies to you, but you still are unable to pay the full price of MacUpdater, just contact us and we will work something out.

Q: Why is an app shown as 'outdated' although I have the newest version installed too?
Q: What about apps that I have installed twice, in an old and a new version?
A:
MacUpdater handles each installation of an app separately. If an app is installed twice, you'll see it twice in the list of 'all' apps. If one of those copies is outdated, you'll see this old version in the list of 'outdated' apps, even if you have the newest version of the app installed too. If you have an old version of an app installed additionally to the newest version you'll usually want to ignore the old copy since you already know that it isn't up-to-date. Just select the old app version and choose 'Ignore this App' (not 'Ignore Update'!) from the context- or app-menu. Your other, new version of this app will still be tracked by MacUpdater and you'll still receive notifications once the new version is not up-to-date anymore.

A:
NOTE: if you've just installed an app, it will not show up in MacUpdater immediately! It will only show up after the next scan has been performed. Newly installed apps should be up-to-date anyway but if you can't wait until the next daily scan to see the new app show up in MacUpdater, you can always just drag&drop it onto MacUpdater's list to have it added right now. If the app in question is not newly installed but still not showing up, please keep reading below:
All of your applications should show up in MacUpdater, however, there are a few reasons why apps can be ignored so that they don't show up in MacUpdater:
• we hide all apps that are built into the operating system by Apple
• we hide all apps that are auxiliary apps to other apps like helper apps, installers, uninstallers, launchers, etc (if you find one of those still being displayed, just let us know)
• also we currently only show 'real apps' and nothing else like drivers, preference panes, plugins, etc (support for those is planned at a later stage)
• additionally, only the 'Scanned Folders' are scanned for apps. if some of your apps are installed outside your applications folders ('/Applications/' and '~/Applications/'), please add those folders to be scanned
• some apps are ignored because they use a 'template' or empty 'bundle identifier' that the developer has forgotten to customise for his app, making the app indistinguishable from other apps. this usually is only the case for unpopular apps from inexperienced developers.
• some apps are also ignored because they contain no version information at all that could be used for comparison. this is usually only the case for unpopular apps from inexperienced developers.
• we also hide several apps that aren't real apps anyway and don't contain any useful version information, e.g. Chrome apps, Winebottler apps, Wineskin apps, Parallels apps, VMWare apps, Fluid apps, Epichrome apps
• we also hide apps installed by 'Setapp', those should be updated with 'Setapp'
• we also hide some apps that we classify as Malware, Adware or Spyware, see here
• some apps have to be ignored because comparing version numbers does not make sense there. some apps exist in different versions for different hardware, so using the latest version might actually be impossible. for example, some apps from printer or scanner manufacturers are tied to specific hardware. the 'Brother Control Center' and 'HP Printer Utility' need to be excluded for this reason.
If you want to find out why a particular app does not show up in MacUpdater, you can drag the app onto MacUpdater's main window to get an explanation.

Q: What if an app shows as 'outdated' only in MacUpdater but not in the 'Mac App Store' or vice versa?
A:
Both the 'Mac App Store' as well as MacUpdater scan once per day, by default. However, normally they will never scan at exactly the same time - except when this happens by coincidence. Consequently, there will always be cases where an update shows up in either the Mac App Store but not in MacUpdater - or the other way round. This just means that the update has been released in-between both scans and is not a problem that we can fix or that should be reported to us. Also note that that the information about Mac App Store apps comes directly from Apple and is known to be be inaccurate or delayed from time to time. We've reported the problems to Apple and there is nothing more that we can do about this. MacUpdater already takes great care to always ask the Mac App Store of your local country for information to minimize potential differences in the display of outdated apps between MacUpdater and the Mac App Store.
We recommend using MacUpdater with the 'Hide Mac App Store' filter-setting, which is the default. There is usually no need to display Mac App Store apps as those are reliably tracked and updated by the Mac App Store anyway - no need to track them twice. However, we recommend temporarily switching to 'Show all apps' every few weeks because MacUpdater has one unique feature that the Mac App Store does not have: it can show you 'major' updates for paid apps, which have been uploaded as a 'different app' on the Mac App Store but really are a new version of the same app in reality. Many vendors upload new versions of their apps into the Mac App Store as 'separate apps' to circumvent Apple's rules about paid updates. The Mac App Store cannot identify these paid upgrades but MacUpdater is able to do so.

Q: Can MacUpdater hide (Paid) Upgrades or stick to an older major-version of an app?
A:
There is currently no way to hide paid upgrades (but these should be properly denoted as 'Upgrade' instead of 'Update', see here) or stick to an older major-version of an app. MacUpdater will always display the absolutely latest official version of any app, as detailed here. While such a feature is on our roadmap, it is actually a lot less useful than one would think, and therefore it is not of high priority to us:
more than 99% of software vendors don't release updates for previous versions of their apps once a new major version has been released. So, for 99% of apps, the effect of ignoring major updates would be exactly the same as ignoring the app altogether - you'll never get a notification about it ever again - because there will never be another update for your major version. We only know about a handful of apps that would actually benefit from this feature because they support multiple major versions concurrently. If you know an app-vendor that supports multiple major versions for his apps, please let us know and we will add it to the list of apps to support when we introduce this feature.
In any case, until this feature is implemented we recommend to do the following: If you don't want to upgrade to the latest version of an app, put it on the ignore-list by selecting 'Ignore this app'. We recommend resetting the ignore-list every few months to re-evaluate whether you want to upgrade these apps. MacUpdater can automatically remind you on a periodic basis.
An alternative approach would be to select 'Ignore this Update' on the app. This would ignore just the currently latest version of the app and notify you again automatically once an even newer version of this app is released.
Update: a new feature in MacUpdater version 1.5 could be helpful here: you can now select a custom filter that allows you to hide all apps from display that have a major upgrade available. To select this option click on 'Custom…' in the filter popup menu and then mark the checkbox next to 'Hide all apps that have a major upgrade available'. However, because the information on which upgrades are 'paid' may never be completely accurate, this option can also hide some other apps too. Another new feature of MacUpdater 1.5 could also be helpful: you can sort apps by their 'update-type'. Just click on the column-header of the 'Update' column to sort by update-type and group all paid and all free updates together.

Q: Why can I not re-scan as often as I want?
A:
There is currently only one restriction: you can't start more than 4 manual scans in 18 hours (this applies to the full version, the limit for the 'free' version may be lower).
This is not a restriction that is meant to impede any of our users, but basically exists for three reasons:
1.) actually there shouldn't be a reason to re-scan manually at all and there certainly can't be any valid reason to re-scan that often.
2.) it is unfair if some people bombard our server by unnecessary starting manual scans every few minutes only to degrade the service for other customers which stick to the normal daily scan.
3.) it is actually not a good idea to fetch each update at the very second that it is released. developers make mistakes and sometimes updates contain bugs and are retraced soon after release. If you re-scan every hour, you increase your risk of applying a bad update. If you stick to a normal scan interval you minimize your risk.
The 'Launch a full manual re-scan' button exists more or less for historical reasons (and will probably be removed in future versions), and there shouldn't be much need to actually use it.
MacUpdater works best if you just let it run in the background and check for new apps every day and there should be little reason to ever start an additional scan. Even if you'd rather launch MacUpdater on-demand, 4 scans in 18 hours should be much much more than enough.
Let's examine each reason why you could think that you want to launch a manual rescan:
• You've uninstalled an app from your Mac and want it to no longer show up in MacUpdater. You can either wait until the next daily scan but if you want it to be removed right now just re-scan this app and it will be removed. In any case, there is no need to launch a full scan.
• You've installed a new app on your Mac and want it to show up in MacUpdater. You can either wait until the next daily scan since there is no need for it to show up immediately since a new download will obviously not be outdated. You can also add the app to MacUpdater immediately by dragging it onto the list via Drag&Drop. In any case, there is no need to launch a full scan.
• Apps that are updated outside MacUpdater often aren’t ’scanned’ until the next full scan. However, if you update apps manually or through the MacAppStore, MacUpdater will automatically know about this if you click the corresponding button in MacUpdater ('Manual Update' or 'Open AppStore') before performing the update. If you did not click the button beforehand or the automatic re-scan did not work, you can just re-scan this particular app for its information to be updated if you do not want to wait until the next scan. Also, you an right-click on the 'full re-scan' button to open a menu to re-scan only apps that are 'outdated' or have been updated outside of MacUpdater! In any case, there is no need to launch a full scan.
That said if you think you have a valid reason for rescanning more often than is currently allowed, just drop us a line and we will find a solution.
Future versions of MacUpdater will get rid of the 'Launch manual re-scan' button completely and track installations, uninstallations and updates done outside MacUpdater automatically.

Q: What happens when applying an update and the new version of the app has a new name?
A:
Although it is undesirable, apps change their name in the filesystem between versions (e.g. from 'SuperApp 2017' to 'SuperApp Plus 2018').
However, it is technically impossible to determine whether the new version of an app has really been renamed, or whether you've just previously renamed the app in the Finder yourself.
There are two possible behaviours that MacUpdater could apply:
• Always keep the old application name and update the app in-place when downloading and installing an update. This is beneficial if you've renamed the app yourself, as MacUpdater will keep your custom name. The downside is, if the app has really changed its name, the new name will be discarded, which may be confusing if the app still has the old name but the new version.
• Always use the new application name when downloading and installing an update. The upside here would be that apps that have been re-named always have their 'right' name after an update. The downside would be that if you rename apps yourself, this would always be discarded when MacUpdater applies any update.
There is a third option: keep the old name for 'minor updates', use the new app-name for all 'major upgrades' - as those are most likely to really change the app name. This is the default option for MacUpdater. If you prefer one of the other two options, you can configure MacUpdater to do so in its settings.
Also, note that MacUpdater sends a 'notification' if an app has been renamed so that you can verify if this is intended or re-name the app back if you want.
Note that all of this only applies to updates that MacUpdater can perform fully automatically. If an update contains an installer, MacUpdater has no influence over what is done and just launches the installer for you.

Q: The 'Current Version' that MacUpdater displays for an app does not seem to be correct. Why?
A:
The 'Current Version' that MacUpdater displays for installed apps is always correct, there was no single wrong detection of a wrong app-version since MacUpdater has been released. However, there are a few things to consider here:
MacUpdater will always read the 'real' version number of an app. This is the version number that is embedded into every app and is also displayed in the macOS Finder when selecting an app and/or using 'Get Info' or 'QuickLook' on the app. (In technical terms: MacUpdater looks at the 'CFBundleVersion' and 'CFBundleShortVersionString' entries in the 'Info.plist' file embedded into the app.) This is also the version number that macOS itself uses when dealing with the app, e.g. when multiple versions are installed to determine which version of the app to open when double-clicking files created by this app.
While MacUpdater displays the real version number of an app, some apps display a different version number e.g. on their website or when looking at the version information in the running app itself. However, there is no technical relevance to these fake version numbers, as vendors can just display anything on their website or inside their app. Some app vendors ship their apps with broken or missing version information but display proper version numbers in their apps. Other app vendors ship their apps with correct version information but have a broken auto-update-mechanism that will not update the real version number of the app as displayed in the Finder or in MacUpdater. Both cases are quite rare and mostly affect unpopular apps from inexperienced developers or apps ported from other platforms with little attention to detail. In both of these cases, please complain to the app vendor to fix the version information embedded into the app and displayed in the Finder and it will automatically be supported by MacUpdater.
Note that we have support to fix broken or missing version information for apps and have implemented this for some apps (Teamspeak, Steinberg eLicenser, Norton Security, ..) and could implement this for other broken apps if there is enough demand and it is technically possible. However, contacting the vendor to fix his mistake properly should always be the preferred option first.
MacUpdater will always read the 'real' version number of an app. This is the version number that is embedded into every app and is also displayed in the macOS Finder when selecting an app and/or using 'Get Info' or 'QuickLook' on the app. (In technical terms: MacUpdater looks at the 'CFBundleVersion' and 'CFBundleShortVersionString' entries in the 'Info.plist' file embedded into the app.) This is also the version number that macOS itself uses when dealing with the app, e.g. when multiple versions are installed to determine which version of the app to open when double-clicking files created by this app.

Q: How can I prevent information about self-made or company-internal apps from being sent to the Database?
A:
To allow MacUpdater to find out the latest version of all Mac apps, we need to collect information about the version numbers of Mac apps. Without this data, MacUpdater would not be able to function. Note that the upload of version-numbers to our database happens anonymously: the transferred data does not contain any private data and does not track your usage - it only contains information about apps like their version numbers. The collected version numbers are used to enable MacUpdater's main function of displaying correct 'Latest Versions' and are also used to power the website macupdater.net. If you have apps that you've developed yourself or are internal to your company, you may want to make sure that their information is not sent to our server. Please take any of the following precautions to make sure that information about these apps is never transmitted by MacUpdater:
1.) the easiest way to prevent MacUpdater from scanning an app is by not placing it in the /Applications folder at all (or any other folder you may have added to MacUpdater's 'Scan Folders' manually)
2.) if you need to add your company-internal apps to the /Applications folder, you could also place them in a subfolder of the /Applications folder, and ignore this subfolder in MacUpdater's 'Exclude Folders'
3.) you can also ignore apps in MacUpdater one by one. Information about ignored apps is never sent to our Database
4.) MacUpdater will always ignore alls apps that have a 'Bundle Identifier' starting with 'com.internal.'.
5.) MacUpdater will always ignore alls apps that have an entry of 'SensitiveCompanyInternalApp' set to the boolean value 'TRUE' in their Info.plist
Note, for the second and third option, you'll probably need to take action even before launching MacUpdater for the first time as transmission to the database may happen during the very first scan before you were able to ignore anything. To prevet that can make sure MacUpdater ignores a folder or app with the following Terminal command before launching MacUpdater for the first time:
defaults write com.corecode.MacUpdater FoldersToIgnore -array-add /Path/to/folderOrApp
If none of these options is good enough for your or your company, please contact us and we will find a solution for you. Also note, if you know (or suspect) that MacUpdater already has added your company internal app to its database, you can just send us an e-mail with the bundle identifiers of those apps and we will delete them from our database right away.

Q: MacUpdater has told me one of my apps is malware/spyware/adware and won't be tracked. Can you re-add support for that app?
A:
No! We have a zero-tolerance policy on any software that might harm our users. This includes anything that fulfils the definition of malware, spyware or adware, even if it comes from well-known vendors.
If you want to use any of those 'apps' please do so, however we will not endorse this software by displaying them inside MacUpdater and potentially harming our users by helping them update to newer, even more dangerous versions of that software.
Furthermore, we will silently ignore any apps from any company or vendor that is known to have distributed at least one malware, spyware or adware program.
Also, even if a company has supposedly stopped distributing harmful software, we will not immediately re-add their apps to MacUpdater. Building trust after such an incident takes time, therefore we will wait for a period for exactly 2 years and only re-add the apps if the company has stopped doing anything malicious for 2 years.
NOTE: MacUpdater is NOT a virus scanner and not a replacement for a security solution. While MacUpdater might warn you about some common threats (if any only if they come in form of an 'app'), this is not something that we guarantee to do with any accuracy or completeness. We recommend to update only software from vendors you trust, as this happens on your own risk.

Q: What about security? Where does MacUpdater download updates from?
A:
We always download updates directly from the vendor of the application. Many app-vendors nowadays host their apps in the cloud, but we always use the URLs that are used:
• either when downloading the app directly from their official homepage
• or when downloading an update with the built-in “check for updates” function (if available)
(most often, but not always, these two should be the same).
You can easily verify this because during each download you see the URL that is being used. And you can even have a look at the URL beforehand by clicking the info-button next to the 'Update App' button.
Since the original download URLs from the application vendor are used, the security of using MacUpdater is the same as when downloading directly from the homepage or when using a 'Check for Updates…' function in an app. Actually, the security is even better because when a domain of an application vendor goes offline, we remove the corresponding downloads and will not re-add them without scrutiny.
Still, we are obviously looking to improve security even further by introducing an option to verify downloads with checksums if they are available.

Q: Can I update OEM software with MacUpdater?
A:
OEM software (re-branded software that is originally from another vendor) is quite rare on the Mac. If you have any of those installed, we'd recommend using 'Ignore this App' on those apps. While we've added special support for some OEM apps, we can not exclude the possibility that some of these OEM apps may have problems:If an OEM software is a.) indistinguishable from the 'real' version and b.) due to OEM license you are not eligible to actually update to the latest 'real' version then you should not use MacUpdater to update to the latest version (which will be from the original vendor and not the OEM vendor).
Q: Why are some apps from the 'Mac App Store' not hidden when I select 'Hide Mac App Store apps'?
A:
There are two cases where MacUpdater will not consider an app to be of the 'MacAppStore-type', even when you've downloaded it from the 'Mac App Store' and consequently not hide it when you select 'Hide Mac App Store apps' from the filter menu:
• if the app is now not available from the Mac App Store anymore (in your country)
• if the latest version of the app is now available only outside of the 'Mac App Store'
• if the app is now not available from the Mac App Store anymore (in your country)
• if the latest version of the app is now available only outside of the 'Mac App Store'
Q: What will 'MacUpdater' show as the 'Latest Version'? What about upgrades, name-changes, etc?
A:
MacUpdater will always display the 'newest officially released stable version' that will run on your macOS version for any app. Our definition of 'latest official version' is: the newest version that you can get either by the official download from the homepage or by using an auto-update mechanism built into the app. This is an easy and simple definition for most apps but can get quite complicated for some apps.
Even if an app changes its name, or is sold by another company now, MacUpdater should always display the absolutely latest official version of that app. Furthermore, even if an app is discontinued but replaced with an 'official successor' app, MacUpdater will try to display this successor app as the latest version. Note that MacUpdater will try to explain the situation regarding any offered app-upgrades when you click the info-button next to an app. This button is highlighted in red for important or 'complicated' upgrade situations.
Sometimes a developer will decide to restart the version number of his app at 1.0, which can lead to the case where the newest version number being offered for an update by MacUpdater will actually be lower than your current version number. However, all of those cases have been manually verified and deliberately enabled by us, so if you see a lower version number offered for update this is not a 'wrong information' but should always be correct.
While some developers support multiple versions of the 'same' app, 99% of developers only provide updates for a single latest version of their app that is offered for download or sale. Therefore MacUpdater is currently also based on the concept of a single, latest version number for any app. Future versions of MacUpdater may provide support for multiple 'latest' versions per app.
Note that some upgrading from your current version to the latest version of some apps may cost money, but MacUpdater will try to mark these as 'Upgrades' instead of 'Updates', see 'Paid Upgrades' below.
If MacUpdater shows you an upgrade that you do not want to take at the moment for some reason (e.g. cost of the upgrade), just select 'Ignore App' to completely ignore this app and hide it from MacUpdater or 'Ignore Update' to just ignore this particular update to the app. It is probably best to erase your ignored-app list (in the Settings-tab) from time to time to re-evaluate the latest versions of your apps.
Also, note that 'Beta Versions should always be hidden from MacUpdater, please see the question about 'Beta Versions' below.

Also, note that 'Beta Versions should always be hidden from MacUpdater, please see the question about 'Beta Versions' below.
Q: Will updates to 'Beta'-versions show up in MacUpdater?
A:
Beta Versions should always be hidden from MacUpdater. With 'Beta' we mean any version that is not officially released as a normal and stable version, e.g. alpha-, beta-, rc- and development-versions and 'snapshots'. There are three exceptions: First, some apps don't have a stable release yet. Second, for some apps, even the developer recommends downloading the beta version because it works so much better than any previous 'stable' release (e.g. 'TextMate', 'Fugu' or 'BatChmod'). The third exception are apps that by their very definition only provide beta versions, e.g. Google's Chrome 'Dev' or 'Chromium' versions. Apart from these exceptions, if you see a beta-version being offered for update in 'MacUpdater' please let us know through the built-in 'Report App Feedback' dialogue so that we can remove it.
Also, note that MacUpdater will never ask you to downgrade. So, if you have a beta version installed that is newer than the latest released version, you'll see the 'Latest Version' listed in green and no update will be offered (because it would actually be a 'downgrade').
We are planning an option to enable optional tracking of 'beta' versions but this will only be possible for some apps, and remain a non-default option.

Q: Can MacUpdater make Backups of old apps before updating them or Backups of the new app-downloads?
A:
Yes, you can configure MacUpdater to 1.) make backups of an old app before updating it and/or 2.) make backups of downloaded installation files for your new apps. Both can be configured in the Settings. You can enter a number of backups to keep. This is the total number of backups and not per-app. (configurable either per-app or in-total). You can also change the location of the backups, by default they are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/MacUpdater/.
Q: Will MacUpdater upgrade paid apps to new major versions that may have an upgrade-fee?
A:
MacUpdater will always display the newest released version for any app. For many paid apps, upgrading to the latest version may cost money if your license does not cover the upgrade. It's quite difficult and in some cases impossible to automatically detect whether you are entitled to a free update. Currently MacUpdater flags updates as 'upgrades that might cost money' if the app is not known to be free, and the major version changed between the installed and the offered version. If MacUpdater detects this for an app, it will label the 'Update' button with 'Upgrade' instead and ask for confirmation prior to updating. For apps with time-based licenses or when an app charges money even for minor releases, you need to be careful yourself about installing updates.
Q: Will MacUpdater offer or install updates that do not run on my macOS version?
A:
MacUpdater has several mechanisms in place so that it will not actually show the newest version of an app, but the newest version that actually runs on your macOS version. In addition to not displaying versions that won't run on your Mac, MacUpdater also won't update apps to versions that are incompatible with your macOS version. That said, these mechanisms can fail e.g. when the developer of an app makes a mistake. If you ever find that MacUpdater displays or updates an app version that is not compatible with your macOS version, please let us know and we will fix this immediately.
Q: The latest version of an app has a bug. Will you remove it from MacUpdater?
A:
No, we will not remove any software from display in MacUpdater, just because it contains bugs or you are not happy with its quality. We have strict guidelines to always display the latest official version of apps in MacUpdater, see here.
We can and will not perform quality assurance for more than 40.000 Mac apps - that is the job of the software vendors. Our job is displaying the latest versions of those apps, which we do.
If you find a bug in the latest version of an app, please report it directly to the vendor of this app. You can also use the 'Ignore this Update' function in MacUpdater to hide any update that you do not want to install.

Q: I receive a message about a 'Quarantine' when launching MacUpdater. Why? How can I fix this?
A:
The 'Quarantine' is a relatively recent macOS security feature that applies to each and every app. Basically, each downloaded file is placed into 'Quarantine', which disallows it from doing certain things (like updating itself). Normally the 'Quarantine' is removed by the Finder when you move a downloaded app from your Downloads folder to the /Applications folder automatically. So, if you haven't moved MacUpdater to your /Applications folder, please try this first to remove the 'Quarantine'. If you already have MacUpdater in your /Applications and you still see this message, the Finder must have failed to remove the 'Quarantine'. In this case, we'd recommend trying to move MacUpdater to some other folder and back to the /Applications folder again.If this still did not work you will need to remove the 'Quarantine' manually. There are half a million Google hits for Mac Remove Quarantine.
To make the process of removing the 'Quarantine' comfortable, we have developed an application called 'Unquarantine' which you can download here, just drag 'MacUpdater' onto it and click 'Remove Quarantine'.
If our app did not work for you, please try the normal, uncomfortable solution to remove the 'Quarantine' by entering this into the 'Terminal':
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MacUpdater.app
Note that apps should never be moved while they are running. Please quit MacUpdater before moving it with the Finder or before trying to remove the 'Quarantine' on it manually.
Also, note that there is no technical restriction in MacUpdater that requires it to be run from the /Applications folder. You can run it from any folder you wish, but it may be more difficult for you to get the 'Quarantine' removed in this case.

Q: MacUpdater launches in a language that I don't understand. Why? How can I fix this?
A:
MacUpdater is available in English and 6 other languages ( ?? / ?? / ?? / ?? / ?? / ??).
MacUpdater, like all other Mac apps, is automatically launched by the system in the available language that you prefer, according to your system settings. If MacUpdater is not available in your native language, it will be launched in the 'next best language' according to your system settings.
If MacUpdater launches in a language that you don't know or want, but you'd rather see it in English (or any other of the 6 available languages) please do the following:
• Open 'System Preferences'
• Go to the 'Language & Region' preferences
• Now edit your language preference list to make sure that 'English' is is higher up in the list than the language that MacUpdater is currently launching in
This will make MacUpdater (and any other app that does not have a translation into your native language) appear in English, as you prefer. You'll need to re-launch MacUpdater for this change to take effect.

Q: Will MacUpdater be offered for purchase on the Mac App Store?
A:
No, it is impossible to offer MacUpdater in the Mac App Store, since Apple only allows applicationsthere that are severely limited in their functionality, i.e. that run in a 'sandbox'. These limitations areOK for most normal document-editing applications but its technically impossible to make an application likeMacUpdater that can operate with these restrictions. So, unless Apple changes its mind about these restrictions,MacUpdater will never appear in the Mac App Store.
However, if you have any specific ideas for improvements to the current purchasing option ('Paddle')or wishes for additional purchasing options (besides the Mac App Store) just let us know.

Q: I just see a blank white page when trying to buy MacUpdater - can I buy MacUpdater on a website?
A:
MacUpdater needs a working internet connection to be used or purchased. If you have an 'Outgoing Firewall' or ‘WebBlocker’ installed, which is blocking the network connections of MacUpdater to the internet, you will not be able to use or purchase MacUpdater. Specifically, if you have ‘Little Snitch’, ’Norton Internet Security’, 'Intego NetBarrier' ‘Hands Off’, ‘Vallum’, ‘WatchGuard’, or any other similar product installed you will need to configure them to allow all connections made by MacUpdater. note that if any of those blocks MacUpdater, not only the purchase but also the actual functionality of MacUpdater will be broken. MacUpdater requires unrestricted access to the internet because it checks ’sparkle appcasts’ from software vendors all around the world to check for app updates. Specifically, the purchase process needs to be able to contact the servers 'paddleapi.com', 'paddle.com' & 'paddle-static.s3.amazonaws.com', else you will just see a blank page or the purchase may fail at random. If you are sure that no 'Outgoing Firewall' is blocking MacUpdater and you still have trouble with the purchase process, please get in contact with us.

Q: On how many Macs can I use MacUpdater?
A:
If you bought MacUpdater you can use it concurrently on 5 Macs.
If you move to a new Mac always make sure to 'deactivate' MacUpdater on the old Mac from the 'Documentation' window so it won't still use one allowed activation.
If you need more activations for some reason just contact us.
NOTE: while a license for MacUpdater can be used on up to 5 Macs for your convenience, it can only be used by one person.
If more than one person (older than 18 years) is going to use MacUpdater in your household or company, you'll need to purchase separate licenses for all of them.
IMPORTANT: if you did forget to 'deactivate' MacUpdater while moving to a new Mac, and are unable to activate MacUpdater on a new Mac because you've used up all 5 concurrent activations, please contact <[email protected]> - the company 'Paddle' handles everything related to the purchase and activation of MacUpdater.
