Q & A: How do I update the Software on a Mac
Found this question on the forum and I posted a response. You might find it useful.
Question:---------------------------
I'm running on a Apple Mac powerbook and I'm having trouble updating the Carvewright designer software. When I click on the link, it takes me to the Mail application. What is going on here?
Answer:------------------
First off, let's make sure that you are taking the proper steps to do the upgrade.
With the Carvewright designer software open, go up to the HELP menu and select "Check for Updates..."
This is the preferred way to go about updating your software. However, the person asking the question did not get this result. The Mail application opened up instead of a web browser.
What is happening here is the wrong application is defined as being the default program to use for clicking on weblinks.
Fix this by starting Safari and going up to the SAFARI menu and selecting "Preferences..." when the dialog box opens, select the "General" tab. Use the drop-down menu and select Safari as the Default web browser. Close the window and restart the Carvewright design software.
Now when you select "Check for Updates..." from the HELP menu, you should be taken to the proper update page.
