MainStage 3.1.1 availability?

Well, as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. I have had nothing but issues with the MainStage 3.2 upgrade. Everything was stable and working well with 3.1.1. I attempted to use my Time Machine backup to roll back to 3.1.1 only to learn that my backup drive is dead. I do have some of my more important concerts saved on another drive but I'm afraid to try to open these with 3.2 since the first ones I opened were such a disaster. Is there anyone who has a copy of the 3.1.1 application that they would be willing to share via a dropbox link? I will gladly send you a screen shot of my APP store purchases to verify that I did purchase the program. I would normally not even consider something like this but, at this point, I don't know what else to do and I have a gig coming up this weekend.

MainStage, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

I no longer need 3.1.1. After several hours, I was able to get my Time Machine backup disk working long enough to restore my copy of MainStage 3.1.1 and all appears right with the world.

Please help me!! How did you manage it to get your 3.1.1 back by Timemachine? Just search the date before updating to 3.2?

Which files do I have to recover??? Or did you do a complete recovery?

Hope you can help me!!

Thanx, Ilja

First, I moved the MainStage 3.2 to the trash along with the these preference files found in ~/Library/Preferences

That may not be necessary but I did it anyway. Then I opened the Time Machine application and clicked on Applications on the left side. Next, I moved back until the day before I updated the MainStage app. Once you are at the point before the update, right-click on the MainStage app and choose Restore to...

Once the app was restored, I restarted my computer and, thankfully, I was back to 3.1.1 again. The preference files had been regenerated and the app has been working fine. I did find out that the concert I had opened and saved with 3.2 would no longer open with 3.1.1 but, fortunately, I had that saved on a thumb drive and was able to use it. I hope this helps you.
