Update failed?

Updates

Do not worry: a failed update will not break SyncNow. If one cannot complete, your previous working version keeps running.

Updates are built to fail safely. If a download is interrupted or its SHA-256 checksum does not match, SyncNow rejects the file and stays on your current build, with nothing half-applied. If an update is applied but does not behave, SyncNow can roll back to the prior version, and an anti-loop safeguard stops it from getting stuck retrying the same bad update.

What to try

  1. Check your internet connection, then restart SyncNow so it can check again at launch.
  2. Confirm the app can reach www.syncnow.it (a firewall or security tool may block it from replacing its own file).
  3. Leave it running for a while; it retries on its own at the next check.

If updates keep failing, grab the update logs and contact support so we can take a look. Because every download is verified and reversible, a failed update never leaves you on a broken build.
