Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system. Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Bean 2.4.4.

What's new in this version:

- A bugfix release and is the last version of Bean intended to be compatible with OS X 10.4 Tiger (unless a bugfix release for the Bean 2.4.x series is required for compatibility with 10.7 Lion).

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a problem where Find Next in the Find panel could misbehave due to some missing brackets in the TextFinder class code. This fix has been noted in the code as well.
- Corrected tab order of controls in Find panel.
- Removed various non-functional help buttons (they stopped working when I had to restructure the help system to work with localizations under 10.6).
- Fixed a problem with saving to the WebArchive format where saving with a white background, or no background, could produce a black background.
- Fixed a problem with toolbar icon validation (Thanks, CF) and a few other small code problems noted in the code.

Changes:
- Files in the .bean format can now be searched with Spotlight for content and keywords.
- Edit > Paste & Match Style now also responds to standard Apple keyboard shortcut.
- Bean no longer automatically associates .rtf and .rtfd files with Bean.app using the circuitous mechanism provided by the Finder. This association could only be done using an Applescript, and Bean could crash if the app was quit quickly after an initial save (while the Applescript was loading into memory). There is a hidden preference setting which restores the old behavior: quit Bean and paste this command into a Terminal.app session (change YES to NO to un-enable the old file association behavior again): defaults write com.SevenYearsDreaming.Bean prefShouldAssociateFileWithBean -bool YES
