Re: [Finale] Mac Authorization problems

2009-06-12 Thread Larry Beekman

Hi Brian,
I called Finale help about this. They told me they thought it was a  
problem between the  system 10.5.7 update and Finale. He said they  
knew about it and were working on it. Strangely, it seems like the  
problem is not happening on my computer anymore even though I haven't  
done anything other than call Finale and ask what was going on.

Finale thinks you're using a different computer every time you reboot.

RE: [Finale] Editing 2009 files in 2010

2009-06-12 Thread James Gilbert
Thank you (and to others) that offered to send a test file. I've received
the following from MakeMusic:

Make music tech
I looked over the file and it looks like it is damaged. To fix it, open the
file and go to the File menu  MusicXML  Export. Next, close the original
version of the file. Go back to the File menu  MusicXML  Import, select
the recently exported file and click Open. This should solve the error you
are receiving. Please feel free to respond to this case if you have any
further questions about this issue.

I did all of the above in 2010 and it does work. So, for the handful of new
files I recently started in 2009, this solves that issue. I can update my
templates the same way. In the past I've converted all my old files to the
most current version to keep everything up to date. However, this time the
task of exporting/importing/saving thousands of files may change my mind and
maybe I'll just keep 2008, 2009  2010 all running on the same system.
Hopefully that's not a problem. I'd like to know how so many files got
damaged (at least 20 far that I've tried to open have given me problems). 

Thanks again,

James Gilbert

 James:
 
 One thing that you might want to try, is to forward one of the
 offending
 files to someone else, and see if they have problems opening it in
 2k10.
 I have a 2k9 test file that I created, that I'd be willing to send you,
 too, if you want to see if you have the problem with a file created by
 someone else.

Have you run the repair tools in your earlier version of Finale? 
Specifically, on the OPTIONS | DATA CHECK menu, run TEST FILE 
INTEGRITY and REMOVE DELETED ITEMS. Then try importing. 

I would not want to use the MusicXML intermediary since it could lose 
things that are important to the layout. I don't know for certain 
that it would, but the fact of it being an intermediary format gives 
me pause. If you can repair the original file, that seems to me to be 
a better solution.

But, of course, it may not work.

Nice idea, but I had already tried the data check and file integrity on the
files in both 2009 and 2010. Still have problems. 

For my immediate needs, converting to XML and back will work. For some stuff
I'm arranging, I like to start from an existing piece and edit it to make a
new arrangement. Using XML will be fine. I am leery of converting what you
might call 'finished' pieces from older versions via XML.

I can't comment on the specific combination of 2008, 2009, and 2010, but 
I have run several versions in parallel for years, and at present have 
2000, 2003, 2006, and 2009 installed, and 2010 will be a fifth version 
installed. The only problems I recall with doing this seem to be related 
to either the MIDI or sound card interface subsystems. If I'm using one 
version, and open a second, MIDI or the sound system still work in one, 
but not on the second.  It hasn't proved  a significant enough problem 
that I've bothered to spend much time debugging the issues.

There's definitely something wrong with the update. I've got a few  
anecdotal reports of some stuff, none of which is Finale related. Some  
of my coworkers have lost the ability to use their USB printers, in  
one case the printer is no longer usable, and also seems to now have  
trouble editing PDF forms since the update.

Yeah, there's several threads in the Finale forums on MakeMusic's

times.  They say there's some kind of hardware thing and they were  
asking people to send in system profiles.
