Troubleshooting
We’re working hard to make iA Presenter reliable and stable. But when things go wrong, there’s usually a way to fix it.
Can’t install Presenter? Make sure your Mac is running Big Sur-version 11 or a more recent release. Otherwise try these troubleshooting steps:
Restarting Your Mac
Many issues can be resolved by closing the app, restarting your Mac, then running Presenter again. Do this before you start troubleshooting any issue.
Do a Clean Install
Reinstalling iA Presenter can resolve many issues. Before you uninstall, please:
- Back up any files and custom themes you created, since they will be deleted in the process
- Use AppCleaner to remove all files related to Presenter. This can be far more effective than simply deleting the app
- Restart your Mac
- Download iA Presenter from the link you received by email when purchasing it, or from the App Store (Purchases section), then install it again
Send a Bug Report
If reinstalling doesn’t work, please send us a bug report.
The more details it contains the faster it will be processed.
