Unable to update MAMP

Post by polera »

I'm on MAMP Pro 6.4, macOS Big Sur (I'm not sure I should upgrade to Monterey yet), and when I click Check for Updates, I get a box that says version 6.6 is available, but the Install button is grayed out. All I can do is click Cancel.

Can someone explain what's going on?

Yes, its not available in app to install. Bigger update.

If you see:
"Please open https://mamp.info/downloads in a web browser to download the correct package!"

OK, so... the issue is that the user is not informed as to why the Install button is grayed out? I don't see anywhere in the modal that it's a "bigger update" which can't be installed in-app nor why that is nor what to click or what to do or where to go to.

Having to make a forum post to get that info I think is very inefficient.

I'm sorry I didn't assume the things you've stated and go out to try to find and download the update first, not that I think anyone should feel the need to apologize for that.

Let them know where? You left a generic link basically advertising the app I already use.
