Gab Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I got a WD external drive to back up my iMac. It came with Retrospect express 6.0. I have installed Retrospect and whenever I try to start it, It tells me that Retrospect has quit unexpectively. What is wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdsraleighwood Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hello, I've just finished install Retro express 6.0.195 that came with an Iomega 160 GB desktop Firewire external hard drive. After installation, I am unable to open / run for the same error message: "Retrospect has quit unexpectedly" I working with an Intel iMac, 1 G memory. Is this an Intel compatibility issue? Is it a matter of updating Retro express with recent update? Any help would be appreciated. ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi Retrospect Express 6.1 is required for OSX 10.4. A free update is on the updates page. Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHH000 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi Nate, I have Retrospect Express 6.0.212 on an eMac and have been using it to do regular back-ups. The 6.1 version on the page for back-ups is Retrospect not Express and when I installed it I was asked for the registration code and I used my current code from 6.0 and that is not accepted? The original Retrospect Express was supplied with the OWC external HD. Do I have to go back to OWC to get the upgrade? TIA, Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blminca Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Well, it seems to me that there is a problem with license codes... I have read through these forums regarding the upgrade from Express 6.0 to 6.1 running tiger, and all I have seen was to remove everything (software wise dealing with retrospect) then to install from original REX cd, then upgrade to the 6.1 version of macintosh express, and it should work. Been there, done that, all. It still asks for a license code after I upgraded to the 6.1 version. No work around. I have seen reference to a file called "Maxtor_Tiger_fix.dmg", but it is no longer available on your web site. Now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronInSeattle Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Did you contact Customer Support about this? Apparently there are some bad codes floating around out there messing up peoples' weekends. But I saw in another thread that Customer Support was able to smooth it out.

Mayoff Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I am confused. You are in an OS 9 section of the forum. Express 6.x does not run on OS 9 I know of no bad product codes. 6.0 and 6.1 use identical product codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
