Hi there! I understand you’re noticing that your instructions are missing in the RecipeBox app on your Mac running macOS 10.15.7. Could you tell me a bit more about what you mean by "instructions"? For example, are the detailed steps for your saved recipes not showing up, or is it something else like missing help instructions or app guidance?

Meanwhile, a common cause for missing content like this can sometimes be a temporary glitch or sync issue. Here’s something simple we can start with:

1. Quit the RecipeBox app fully. You can do this by right-clicking the app icon in the Dock and selecting “Quit,” or pressing Command+Q while the app is active.
2. Reopen the app and check if the recipe instructions have reappeared.

If that doesn’t help, please let me know if this issue affects all recipes or just specific ones, and if you are seeing any error messages or unusual behavior. Also, is your device connected to the internet? RecipeBox sometimes needs internet access to sync recipe details properly.

Once I have a bit more info, I can guide you through additional troubleshooting steps or check if there’s an issue affecting the app that others are seeing too.

Detailed steps not showing up

Thanks for the extra info! So the detailed steps inside your recipes aren’t showing up on your Mac with macOS 10.15.7. Let’s try the following steps to get them back:

1. Force quit RecipeBox app:
- Click the Apple menu > Force Quit.
- Select RecipeBox from the list and click “Force Quit.”
- Reopen the app to see if the steps load now.

2. Check for app updates:
- Open the App Store on your Mac.
- Click on “Updates” and see if RecipeBox has a pending update to install. Keeping the app updated can fix display bugs.

3. Verify internet connection:
- Make sure your Mac is connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. RecipeBox may fetch recipe details from the server, so lack of internet could cause missing steps.

4. Toggle Sync or Refresh:
- If RecipeBox has a sync or refresh option within settings or the recipe view, try triggering that to reload content.

5. Re-login to your account:
- Sometimes logging out and back in can reset your data sync and fix missing content. Look for the account settings and try signing out then in.

If the issue persists after these, please let me know:
- Are these missing steps a problem on all of your recipes or just some?
- Have you noticed a pattern, such as only new or imported recipes missing steps?

I want to make sure we get this resolved for you. If none of those work, we can explore clearing cache or deeper settings next — or check if there’s a known issue with the current app version1.

How does that sound? Would you like me to guide you step-by-step on any of these?
