Hi! I understand that you're having trouble with iFinance 5 synchronization between your Mac and MacBook, and you're seeing a message that the versions are not compatible. Let’s see if we can get this sorted out together.
To start, could you tell me if both devices are running the same version of iFinance 5? Sometimes sync issues and compatibility warnings come up if one device has an older or different version of the app.
Also, are you using iCloud Drive for syncing your iFinance data between the two devices? Sometimes iCloud sync can get a bit stuck or corrupted.
Meanwhile, here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot:
1. Check iFinance Versions: Open iFinance 5 on both devices and verify they’re updated to the latest version available for macOS Catalina (10.15.7), which matches your OS.
2. Verify iCloud Sync Settings: - On both Mac and MacBook, go to System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud. - Ensure that iCloud Drive is enabled. - Within iCloud Drive > Options, make sure that iFinance 5 data or sync files are allowed.
3. Restart iCloud Sync: - On both devices, try disabling iCloud Drive temporarily (this will remove the local database file). - Wait a moment, then re-enable iCloud Drive. - Restart the iFinance app and see if it starts syncing properly again.
4. Confirm OS Compatibility: iFinance 5 supports macOS Catalina, which you have, so that should be fine. Still, it’s worth double-checking if perhaps one Mac is on a significantly different OS or if any updates for macOS or iFinance are pending.
If you’ve already tried some or all of these steps, please let me know which ones, and if you’re still getting any specific error messages or behavior during sync. That will help me guide you further.
Would you like me to walk you through any of these steps in detail?
