Hi! I’m sorry to hear that your Dext app keeps crashing on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7. Let’s work through this together to get it sorted out.
To start, can you tell me a bit more about when the crashes happen? For example, does it crash immediately when opening the app, during sync, or when performing a specific action? Also, how often does it crash—is it every time or intermittently?
In the meantime, here are some initial steps to try that often help resolve app crashing issues on macOS Catalina (10.15.7):
1. Restart Your Mac: Sometimes, a simple reboot clears temporary bugs or memory issues.
2. Update Dext App: Make sure you have the latest version of Dext installed. Outdated apps can misbehave after OS updates.
3. Check for macOS Updates: Even if you're on 10.15.7, check under System Preferences > Software Update if any patches or security updates are available.
4. Clear App Cache/Preferences: - Quit the Dext app completely. - In Finder, press Command+Shift+G to open the “Go to Folder” prompt. - Enter ~/Library/Containers/ and look for a folder related to Dext. You can move it to Trash (taking note that this may reset app settings). - Restart the app and see if it runs more stably.
5. Test in a New macOS User Account: Sometimes, user-specific settings cause crashes. Create a new user profile via System Preferences > Users & Groups, then log in as that user and try opening Dext. If it works fine, the problem may be tied to settings or files in your main account.
If the above doesn’t help, we can also look into crash logs for more clues. You can find these in the Console app under “Crash Reports,” searching for Dext-related entries.
Let me know what you find or if any of these steps cause issues—then we can dig deeper with more specialized troubleshooting! Are you okay to try these?
