Since I successfully installed LMS 7.8.1 on the MacBook Air, I tried to take Michael's advice and install the same LMS software on both machines. So I installed 7.8.1 on the iMAC (OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard).
Why do you want to run two copies of LMS at all?
through the music library, it got hung up during the scanning process.
Did you ever try to figure out why it failed?
I have a pretty large music library on the iMAC and scanning is quite a
How large is pretty large? LMS 7.9 has some great improvements for large collections. It makes much better use of your computer's memory. I would assume that your old iMac is disk based (no SSD). In this case the improvements might be important with large collections.
revert back to 7.5.5 on this machine. It then scanned everything and seems to be working as normal again.
Are you really saying 7.5.5? Not 7.7.5? 7.5.5 is almost five years old.
Does anyone feel it would be simple enough to determine why the scanning gets hung-up so that I can 7.8.1 on the iMAC?
IMHO it's always good to understand why problems occur. This is not limited to LMS use :-).
Start by running a scan with logging set to debug for all the scan.* options. Then check out the scanner.log file.
Also, if I do have to use 7.5.5 on the iMAC, should I install that same version on my MacBook Air?
If you're really talking about 7.5.5, then I'm almost surprised it would run on your iMac at all. But forget about running it on the MB Air. It will not work.
