Is there a PrintShop that is compatible with Mac-Catalina OS? I work for a school and do the marketing, therefore in need of an Upgraded PrintShop - if not, any idea of when there might be one coming out?

Thanks much. I saved it to my desktop and will check it out!

Happy New Year!

I have the older version of Print Shop 3.0 and now I have a new computer that has the Mac Catalina OS and need to upgrade ,is there any upgrade out?

I would like a notification when this is available.

I have used print shop for years recently I up graded my computer and now my print shop is not compatible. Is there any upgrade to my

print shop 3.0 that will work with my Mac Catalina OS. ?

The Print Shop of last year or the year before (can't remember which) will be compatible. I am waiting for the update. Don't know how to tell you to be notified about that.

Tonight I found an old receipt for the download of The Print Shop 3 in May 2016. I tried the website fastspring.com.mackiev/order etc but the site no longer available.

I note that this post is dated Oct. 2019 and is the same answer I received at the time. Now it is Feb. 2020 and wondering if there are any updates at this point on a new release. Thanks!

Will you make a conversion for the files from Print Shop 2 on the new version-or a way to open the files so they can be brought into the new version?

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond with this useful info and for forwarding the Encore Software e-mail.

No one here works for the publishers of The Print Shop. At least no one posting here has admitted to working for them.

I played with Swift Publisher and have decided to purchase it. I'm still hopeful Mackiev will release their Catalina upgrade for the Print Shop 4, but, in the mean time, I'm moving on. I upgraded to Catalina this weekend.

Print Shop aside (and it clearly warned me it wouldn't work after the upgrade, so no one should be claiming that it caught them off guard), it seems like Catalina is still very buggy. The Music app constantly loses all of my album artwork and my Photos app still claims to be syncing with iCloud rendering certain functions, like the "People" view, inoperable. iMovie can't access my Photos library; just a spinning wheel.

Not very impressed with this release...based on articles I've read, this (and iOS 13) have been very problematic for Apple.

Just to add since I need to vent somewhere. I'm now in the process of restoring a 60,000+ photo Photos library that got corrupted with the upgrade to Catalina. Not to mention a perfect storm of Time Machine losing a year of backups today. Not sure how, as I had accessed Time Machine yesterday and restored an old file.

Fortunately, I'm restoring from iCloud Photos and I think I'll have everything back to normal once it downloads everything. But this could've been a very sad day for me and a lesson for having multiple backups, as Time Machine can be unreliable.

For those on an older version of macOS, it's probably better to stay there. I see nothing in Catalina (now that I've upgraded) that makes it worth the hassle or risk. Just a lot of wasted time.

Once your Photos syncs and finishes downloading from iCloud, in order for the "People" to scan you need to SHUT DOWN Photos but leave your computer running. According to the software, "Photos will continue scanning your remaining photos when you're not using the app and your Mac is connected to power." Once this process starts, click on the "People" page and it will tell you how many photos have been scanned and how many the computer has left to scan. For me, this has been an agonizingly slow process. I started timing it when I had 45,422 photos scanned (out of around a total of 90,000 photos). 1 day later 53,596 photos had been scanned. After 2 days I had 65,176 scanned, after 3 days I had 78,972 and after 4 days I had 80,709 scanned with just over 10,000 left. I'm guessing that the more photos the computer has to scan, the longer it takes to search through all those pictures.

Another "nasty" thing I noticed is that all of the photos that I had previously edited (before installing Catalina) have mysteriously LOST their editing! The edited thumbnail photos show the symbol that they have been edited (three small white horizontal sliders in the upper right corner), as does the bigger photo when you double click on it prior to editing. HOWEVER, when you click on EDIT, all your previous adjustments and cropping are GONE and what you see is your original photo as it came from the camera. If you then click DONE with editing the image is now your original from the camera photo, but still has the "edited" symbol. Double click on that to reduce it to a thumbnail and you see the EDITED photo again! Sadly, if you EXPORT the larger photo when it looks okay (before you click on EDIT), or if you export the thumbnail that also looks okay, what exports is the original from the camera photo (not the edited version). I'm hoping that eventually the actual data containing the "edits" will also be downloaded -- but what are the odds of that happening?

Any pictures loaded and edited AFTER I got Photos reloaded from iCloud -- the editing works as usual.

Do others have this editing issue ... or is it just me??

I was told to update to CATALINA, when I called apple for a problem and I LOST MY PRINT SHOP all my BSINSESS labels and flyers, I am so mad I do NOT know what i can use for flyers and Label making? I am so mad, do I buy one and which one,
