Hi. As described, I am very much a novice with this sort of stuff, so apologies in advance. Also, for the sake of completeness, I tend to be a bit long-winded, so again
I have had a Squeezebox Touch for several years now. When I first got it, I had Logitech Media Server software installed and running on BOTH my iMAC and my Macbook Air laptop. I was able to switch back and forth between using these 2 computers with my Squeezebox Touch (I think both machines were using LMS software 7.5.4 or 7.5.5 at the time). I dont want to go into the details why, as this will get very wordy, but it was very handy for me to be able to switch back and forth to play different music content on the 2 different computers. Fast forward a few years and I had a hardware issue with my Macbook Air while under warranty; Apple's response to my problem was to give me a brand new Macbook Air on which they basically copied or re-wrote the entire hard drive to mirror what was on it previously. I felt it was a very generous solution to my problem. However, from that moment on (this happened a couple of years ago) the LMS software on the laptop would no longer function. For the time being I have been using only the iMAC with my Squeezebox Touch, but Id like to see if I could still get LMS to work on my Macbook Air again as well. The new Macbook Air Apple gave me had the OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks installed, and I had always assumed that was the reason that the LMS software would not work properly anymore (the previous laptop had been using OSX 10.7 Lion). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling LMS software on the laptop, and also tried installing newer versions, but nothing has worked. Previously, I think it had been using LMS 7.5.4 or 7.5.5 (cant recall for sure). Currently I have 7.8.1 installed and the server wont even start up (when I click on Start Server it immediately just stops and says The server is stopped.) My iMAC which is still currently functioning ok using LMS software 7.5.5 is still using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. A couple of years ago, I upgraded the software on the iMAC on a whim (I think it was to 10.9 Mavericks), and the LMS software on this machine also stopped working, so I had to revert back to Snow Leopard on the iMAC again. I have been afraid to upgrade the OS on the iMAC since then for fear that the LMS software wont work again on either machine. Can someone help direct me to determine what to do to get LMS software to work on both computers again? Thanks in advance, and happy to go over any details that I missed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nnck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65499 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105266
