Q: Does ForeverSave run on my Mac with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?

Yes, ForeverSave is made for Snow Leopard and runs perfectly in 64-bit mode. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is still supported, but we recommend to upgrade to Snow Leopard as soon as possible.

Q: What's the difference between Time Machine and ForeverSave?

Time Machine creates hourly backups of entire hard disks. It's not document based and it does not check if there were any changes in the meantime. Unfortunately, Time Machine does not protect you from any software crashes.
ForeverSave auto-saves and creates backups of your documents based on a self-defined time interval or by changing to another application.
If you want to save and backup documents, use ForeverSave and if you want to backup entire hard disks or music, movies, photos and other media, Time Machine is the perfect tool.

Q: Why does ForeverSave not save or backup my documents?

If ForeverSave does not save or backup certain documents, you're probably using an application that does not offer certain ports. In most cases older applications are partially incompatible. Please always check if your applications are fully compatible before you intend to buy ForeverSave.
The following applications are partially or fully incompatible with ForeverSave.

No backup support (auto-save only)
- Final Cut Pro
- iWeb
- Coda
- Open Office (please use Neo Office)
- Tinderbox
- BannerZest Pro

Q: Where do I find ForeverSave's User Manual?

Please go ForeverSave's main menu and choose "User Manual". Your default web browser will load the pdf file.

Q: Why does ForeverSave not appear in my dock?

ForeverSave is completely operated through the ForeverSave application icon in your menu bar. Therefore it is not necessary to appear in the dock and you save space.
If you're still missing the Dock icon, you'll get it back by checking the optional 'Show Dock Icon' box in the Preferences window.

Q: Do I lose the ability to use CMD-Z undo functions?

No matter if you save manually or automatically, the undo functionality does not go away.
For example when ForeverSave auto-saves a Pages document, undo "Command+Z" is possible until you close a certain document.
ForeverSave does not influence the undo functionality!

Q: I would like to use ForeverSave on all of my Macs. Do I need to purchase more licenses?

No, you don't need to purchase more licenses. It doesn't matter on how many of your Macs you install ForeverSave as long as you are the only user. If your Macs are used by two more users, you'll need to purchase additional licenses for them.
For example if two members of a family use ForeverSave on each of their own iMac and MacBook they would need only two licenses.

No, you don't have to pay for smaller updates. We'll offering special upgrade prices for major updates like 2.0 or 3.0. Of course, you don't have to pay anything if you purchased shortly before we released a major update.
