Upgrading from 4 to 5 and Mavericks to Yosemite?

hi
I am going to do the above. Am I right in thinking I should upgrade Mavericks to Yosemite first and then go from 4 to 5? I also use an iPad on ios8
If so, will my existing master password and Dropbox sync setup remain intact, or will I need to set up everything again?
Also, if I add a second Mac to my system which is not currently on 1Password, will the setup of 1Password on the new Mac automatically set up and use my current Dropbox vault? I don't want to end up by wiping things or ending up with a load of duplicates!
Many thanks!

    This second post does not seem to relate to my original post?

    @tonyt I agree and have split that post into a separate thread so it no longer appears in this one. Further I'll answer your questions as best I can.

    Am I right in thinking I should upgrade Mavericks to Yosemite first and then go from 4 to 5?

    Yes - because 1P5 runs only under OS X Yosemite.

    I also use an iPad on ios8 If so, will my existing master password and Dropbox sync setup remain intact, or will I need to set up everything again?

    You should not have to set up everything again. 1P5 ought to import your 1P4 settings.

    if I add a second Mac to my system which is not currently on 1Password, will the setup of 1Password on the new Mac automatically set up and use my current Dropbox vault?

    I think you'll need to download and install 1P on it (obviously!) and then point the new Mac to the relevant Dropbox file—but otherwise it should be pretty straightforward, I believe.

    Hi @tonyt,

    I hope that Stephen_C's advice above helps, he's pretty much spot-on. If you need help getting 1Password set up on a new computer, have a look through our User Guide - it should walk you through the process.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, we're happy to help!
