Broken and can't reinstall

gmason

I am (have been for some time) running 5.0.3 on OS X 10.11.3 and Safari 9.0.3.

I went to delete unwanted cookies, and the spinning gear next to the menu bar icon never stopped. I restarted the system (the gear did not reappear), but it still shows a ton of unwanted cookies, etc. But the menu shows all entries dimmed so I can't choose the delete pick. I quit Cookie and tried to reinstall it, but I can't replace the app because it is running. I can't manually trash the app because it is open. Help!

Are you running an expired trial version? Look on the Removal tab in the top right corner of the window. The text should say V5.0.3

Ah yes. It probably happened because I couldn't figure out how to DL 5.x from your site, so got it from Apple. Then I upgraded from your site.

Having said that, how do I make things right?

I went to the App Store, DLed it, and it installed fine. Problem solved.

It isn't easy getting/being old.

Perfect!
