Hi there - all seems to be running fine but I just checked if Rapidweaver 8 needed updating and I get an update error. Has anyone got a remedy for it. Needless to say I already have the App in my Applications folder. Cheers

Make sure you only have the one version of RapidWeaver that’s in the Applications folder.

If you bought RW direct from RealMac, you can try this, shut RW down and grab the latest copy from here:

> **[RapidWeaver Release Notes](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/releasenotes/)**
>
> RapidWeaver release notes, including links to download every version of RapidWeaver since 2004.

  
Just copy it over the version in the Applications folder.

Also, do not forget to re-launch your Mac…

Great thanks all - I’ll give that a go. Cheers
