i cant find the demo vault
I have just downloaded a trial version of 1P on my macbook Pro and my iPad. I cannot see any 'demo' vault and the software freezes when i try to create a new vault. Am I being stupid?

Welcome to the forum, @alanreynolds1! Can I ask why you want the Demo vault? 1Password shouldn't "freeze" if your devices are otherwise in good working order. We've actually got some great documentation for Getting Started with 1Password, which should help demonstrate how to begin. Give that a try and let us know how you get on!

I have been following a Screen Cast Online tutorial by Don Macalister. He shows how to use the demo vault with all its content etc to practice and get familiar with the process. I was just confused that by following his instructions, no Demo Vault was listed as an option to open. I have a Person Vault created by default, and I have added a few items into that. This seems to work, but I notice that if I go to either the tab 'File' and select 'New Vault' or if I go to the "account" tab and select 'New Vault', the system just freezes. My macbook pro runs very well in all other respects. I wonder if I should uninstall 1Password and re-install it? Firstly, though, I will go to the link that you kindly sent me. Thank you.

@alanreynolds1 -- I'm not sure which tutorial you're viewing, but if you've got a Personal vault, then you've created a 1password.com account. The Demo vault option is a part of 1Password for Mac itself, but only if you're using 1Password for Mac in standalone mode with local data, not a 1Password account. If you began using 1Password with a 1password.com account, you won't have the option to create a local Demo vault because you don't have any other local vaults.
However, I feel pretty certain that you can find your way through the basics by visiting our own support pages and following along there. It really is relatively easy to get the hang of. And we're always here if you need assistance. Thanks for giving 1Password a try!

Yesterday I installed my good old 1Password 4.x Windows to get rid of the old Folderstructure. I also made an export of the Demo-Vault in 1Pif and CSV format. If you are interested I can sent you a copy.
