Cora Actors are missing. Did some updates: new Os 10.8.4 and neweest Isadora version 131f02...don´t now at what step they got lost. No idea how to troubleshoot

Sorry to ask the obvious questions first, but it's my job as a admin...

Have you bought the upgrade for Core Video?

crystalhorizon

Yes

crystalhorizon

Tried to get syphon running. There I saw that the actors are missing.

Hmmm. If you haven't already restart your machine.

crystalhorizon

restarting did not help

Skulpture

Hmmm. This did happen to me a long long time ago and I can't remember what I did to resolve it. It could just be the license file, or it might just work and sort itself out - I really am not sure.

Mark or someone else might be able to help. Any ideas @michel?

Michel

What you can try first is close Isadora, move your Isadora Registration file to the desktop and re-open Isadora in demo mode. Are the core files still missing?

As I can see you are from Austria I give you the path to the Reg. File in German:
Benutzer-->Für alle Benutzer-->isadora-registration.izr

OK. Some questions:

I see you purchased the USB Key. I assume you have the key and are using it to license Isadora.
Are you very sure you have Isadora Core and not just Isadora?
Did you follow the instructions in the upgrade email, erase your current copy of "Isadora Core USB Key.app" and install a fresh copy?
Did you then register the USB Key using the new registration code you were sent for the USB Key?
Did you then quit and restart Isadora before looking for the Core Actors?

Best Wishes,
Mark

crystalhorizon

maybe there is a confusion with the email addresses: maybe you have the usb license to n...chev@gmx.at and the core to n...chev@feinsinn.org

[EDIT: removed full email so spam robots won't harvest them - MFC]

crystalhorizon

Thanx for the edit

mark

Dear feinsinn,

OK, well, you have a Windows license, which does not have the Core Features. I'm emailing you off forum about all of this.

(The online store should check for an ISW [Windows] serial number and prevent you from buying a Core Upgrade. But I never thought to put in this check.)

Best Wishes,

Mark

I´m using it on mac now, see first comment

crystalhorizon

Ok , everything works fine now. It was a windows, mac license confusion.

Glad you've sorted it
