Why do I keep getting an error message after upgrading to 1Password5?

JoanneD

I was running 1Password 4 on my Mac and using OS 10.9.5. I upgraded to Yosemite and got a pop -up that I needed to upgrade 1Password. I've been attempting to do so for the past few days... every time I get an error message that I need to reinstall. Which I've done. It's an endless cycle, and I can't access 1Password which I use pretty much every day.

Hi @JoanneD,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting set up with 1Password!

As Stephen says, knowing the exact text of the error message could give us a better idea of where things are getting tangled up. I'm also curious - did you purchase 1Password from the Mac App Store or the AgileBits Store? Knowing this detail will help us give you precise instructions on how to work through this issue.

Hi Megan,
I downloaded it directly from AgileBits. It's my boss's account -- he's had a 1Password acct for several years now. I was not asked to pay for anything and I don't think have had to in a few years. I'll try to take a screen shot when I try again.

Hi @JoanneD,

Thanks! A screenshot could be really helpful. In the meantime, how are you reinstalling? (I know, that might sound like a bit of a silly question, but just in case!) If there's a problem with the downloaded version of the app, we generally advise reinstalling like so:

• Download a fresh copy from our downloads page
• Unzip if necessary
• Drag this fresh copy into the /Applications folder and replace the existing copy.

It's important that you do not use any app cleaners in this process, as they could end up removing some of your data files or other useful items.

Hi Megan,
I've downloaded a couple of fresh copies, unzipped, and then have dragged it into my applications folder. Then I double click and get the problem report I attached above. I feel kind of paralyzed right now..
Thanks for your help,

Thanks Megan. I received an email from Laura Rooke, and with directions on what to do. It took awhile, and I had to redo a couple of steps, but I think I am finally back up and running. Thank you all for all of your assistance!
