Troubleshooting
I try to open the program and the menu bar shows the program for a moment and then goes back to the Finder.
Due to a known bug the Mac Notepad application can not be located in a folder whose path contains unicode characters. We're working to fix this, meanwhile just move the Mac Notepad application in the Applications folder (or anywhere else, provided the path to it doesn't contain unicode characters such as accented characters or symbols) and it should open flawlessly. Then it should launch with no problem.
The program doesn't keep the registration code
In one of the previous versions of the program there was a bug that prevented to register the application with some particular system configurations. Whether the program forgot you entered the registration code, do as follows:
- Quit the program if it is running, and delete the folder located at:
/Users/<you>/Library/Preferences/Apimac/ApplicationName/
/Users/<you>/Library/Application Support/Apimac/ApplicationName/
- Download the latest version of the program from this page.
- Launch the program in order to recreate from scratch the resources it needs.
