Re: [Finale] OSX links down
Hello, If trashing the preferences and repairing permissions (running disk utility) doesn't fix the problem, you may also try running a program called Disk Warrior. This program will repair the directory on your computer (technically it actually builds a new directory and replaces the old one that contained the errors.) I have been using this program for several years for both repair and maintenance and have had great success with it. Here is the link: http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/ Best, Karen I cannot find out how (in the terms of OS9) figure out how to rebuild the desktop. After several attempts to re-load MACFIN 2005, the application still cannot find its various text files and soundfonts, though they are exactly where they should be. The older practice was the desktop rebuild which one could force on restart. I have had several security updates come in, and I notice that there is a type of rebuild at its completion. Is there a way to force OSX to re-establish the links that may have been lost? -- Henry Howey, D.M.A. Professor of Music Sam Houston State University Box 2208 Huntsville, TX 77341 (936) 294-1364 http://www.shsu.edu/~music/faculty/howey.html Owner of FINALE Discussion List ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale -- Karen Guthery [EMAIL PROTECTED] ichat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

You can also try running fsck. Reboot your mac and hold down the Apple and S keys. That will bring you into a shell, and it should say how to run fsck when you get into the shell.

Re: [Finale] OSX links down
Henry, Have you tried deleting your Finale 2005 preferences? I doubt that any links are lost (although you should try booting from your OS X install CD and running Disk Utility regardless). I think it's much more likely that Finale's preferences are corrupt. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 02 Oct 2004, at 01:55 PM, Henry Howey wrote: I cannot find out how (in the terms of OS9) figure out how to rebuild the desktop.
