Question: When I run the Software Update in Tap.Tools 3, I get an error in my Max window saying "svn_client_checkout error: Working copy '/Applications/Max5/Cycling '74/Tap.Tools' locked". The little dots in the progress window keep going, but nothing else seems to be happening. How do I recover?

Answer:

The underlying engine for the software update (svn) can place version-control locks on the files if something goes wrong during a software update.

In the current release of Tap.Tools 3, this problem is most easily corrected by removing the Tap.Tools folder (put it in the trash or recycle bin) and re-installing Tap.Tools.

Following a fresh install, the software update should work once again.
