Cookies on multiple Macs
-
At home I have a 2002 iMac, a 2019 and a 2015 MB Pro.
I have been a Cookie user since 2017 and have run Cookies on all three machines.
Recently, on my iMac, I paid for the update to Cookies 7 and it has been running just fine on that computer.
When I went to the SweetP site on my 2015 MB Pro, and updated to v. 7, when I go to Cookie > Preferences > License, if I click on [Restore Purchase] I am asked to sign in with my Apple ID, which I do and following which nothing happens.
Would appreciate some guidance. -
• Restarted the computer.
• Opened Cookie, then Cookie Preferences, then License
• Clicked on [Restore Purchases]
• Clicked on [Sign in with your Apple ID]
• About 2 seconds later, I am back at [Sign in with your Apple ID]
• Launched App Store where I was already logged in and logged out.
• Signed into the App Store again using the same Apple ID I used when Cookie requested [Sign in with your Apple ID] and successfully signed in.
• Went back to [Restore Purchases] again, and again I am back at [Sign in with your Apple ID]
• Deleted the Cookie.app
• Restarted in Safe Mode
• Did a reinstall of Cookie
• Opened Cookie, then Cookie Preferences, BUT THIS TIME I clicked on Purchase Cookie, NOT Preferences
• I entered my case sensitive User Name and my Cookie 7 license (using cut and paste so I would not make any mistakes), clicked on Register and got [Whoops! We all make mistakes]
• Did a normal, not Safe Mode restart
• Launched Cookie.app, went to Purchase Cookie and got completely different results from those I got when I started in Safe Mode. I.e., there is no choice to enter my User Name and my Cookie 7 license; I am back to the "circular hell" of [Restore Purchases] again.
• Quit and relaunched Cookie. It opened to the Websites/Unwanted Data/Removal Options/etc. window with [Purchase Cookie] in the upper right hand corner.
• Clicked on [Purchase Cookie] and once again got the [Whoops! We all make mistakes]
• Clicked on [Change License] and entered the correct name and license for Cookie 7 [Register] .
• Guess what? [Whoops! We all make mistakes] yet again.Another hour of my life wasted. Any more suggestions as to how to get Cookie 7 installed and working on that 2015 MB Pro where Cookies 6 was humming along nicely?

@SweetP
• Got your email
• Clicked on Download and got the Cookie.dmg
• Quit Cookies which was running
• Installed the downloaded version by [Replace] the current version on my Mac
• Launched Cookie
• Went to [Purchase Cookie] and it opened to [Whoops! We all make mistakes] once again
• Clicked on [Change License]
• Deleted the License that was entered there and cut and pasted the license you emailed me [Register] and again...[Whoops! We all make mistakes]
• BTW, the license in your email was exactly the same as the license I had saved and using to upgrade to v 7. -

• Clicked on [Activate]
• Opened with same data which was previously rejected.
• Clicked on [Change License]
• It took me back to the window I had previously been dealing with and clicked on [Register] ....and got Thanks!
• Now, I see [Change License]. Do I click on that???
