Microsoft todo keeps crashing
Hi, I have an old mac running on Big Sur Version 11.7.10 and I am unable to open microsoft to do, it crashes as soon as double click the app. Below is the error message. If my computer is too old is ...
Just hit the same problem.
Despite the Appstore offering me the update and telling me its supported on my Big Sur Macbook Pro, the app is now broken. This machine is still very capable (8 thread, 16gb), no reason this should not run - the enforced obsolesce from Apple & Microsoft is *really* starting to pee me off.
Had the same problem (macOS 11.7.10, MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013). If you have a time machine backup just copy back the To Do version 2.110, this version works without problems. You can keep a copy of this version somewhere on your mac and if an update from the App Store is not working, just copy it back to the applications folder, worked for me since the updates after 2.110.
- Brilliant! It worked. Part of me is going "d'oh!" because at some level I overlooked that option, assuming (wrongly) there would be a web of associated files you'd have to track down and restore or reinstall. That said, any thoughts on how long one can safely fall back on this old version before security issues creep in? Thanks for saving the day.
- WaWiki, what a great idea. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Like SGordB, I wished I'd thought of that.
I do run Time Machine so I will have that version 2.110 but as I said earlier, I'm running ToDo on my new MacBook Air 15", and it's running just fine.
I do hope your tip helps others though.
Thanks again, Peter
- stuart1878 and others, did you get any further with this.
I've got the same problem on my MacBook Pro 2012. It started just after Christmas, after a ToDo update I recall.
Fortunately for us, ToDo runs fine on the iPhone and iPad doesn't it?
PeterSame/similar problem here, starting with the update around two months ago and continuing with the next update (installed today) on my "vintage" late 2014 iMac running Big Sur. For me, the crash always comes after I've opened the app whereupon it automatically puts up a login window: after I've entered my email and clicked return, the app just crashes and MacOS gives me the dreaded "... quit unexpectedly" window. It does still work on all my other devices (Mac Studio, iPad Pro, iPhone), so this really does seem to be a very "focused" bug, which I hoped, in vain, would have been fixed in this latest update. For now, I continue to access To Do from a browser on the iMac.
