Books do not appear in Libronix Resources

I am very much out of my depth. I have recently purchased L4 Scholars and downloaded to my MAC. I have purchased additional books. But they do not show up in Libronix.

I do not recall receiving a code for Libronix. How do I install my stuff now? And what do I do if I upgrade Scholars or buy more books?

Answer as though I'm dumb!!!

Ron,

I assume you are running both L4 and Logos for Mac 1.2.2. (Libronix) on the same MAC and all of the resources are available in Logos 4 but do not show up in Libronix

This is because L4 is downloading them automatically but Libronix doesn't. What you can do is download the book files which are listed on your Order History in your Logos account and file them in the right Resources folder: ...MacHDD/Library/Application Support/Libronix DLS/Resources. When this is done start Libronix and sync your licences. After syncing your licenses the new resourses will show up in your library after you have restarted Libronix.

Thank you Luuk. Let me get this clear (remember I'm dumb on all of this).

1. I download EVERYTHING in my Order History

2. How do I designate the address - MacHDD/Library/Application Support/Libronix DLS/Resources

My Mac downloads everything to a download file.

I am eager to use Logos 4 but this part it is frustrating me no end.

Sorry, I forgot something about what you were asking about what to do if you upgrade. Then there are too many books to look after.

On this blog you will find the answer how to deal with this:

I ordered and used the 2 CD set in order to get the new resources also in my Logos for Mac 1.2.2 (= L3 or Libronix)

What I did was: syncing my licenses in Libronix. Put in the two CD's. Ran the resources installer tool which automatically found the new and fresh unlocked resources and tranferred all these from the CD to my harddisc (into the Libronix DLS/Resouces folder). Restarted Libronix and I was able to use them all.

Luuk, Every book I have bought was downloaded. Should I ask for the CD's (I'm in Australia)

Thank you for helping

Ron,

To sort things out: Libronix is not the same as Logos4 !

So what do you mean in your first and previous post by "libronix'' and by "Logos 4"

For Mac Users there is available:
- Logos for Mac 1.2.2 which is the 'old libronix' and needs to be manually (by download or CD's) feeded with the new reources
- Logos 4 for Mac Alpha (RC 9) which is the lastest Alpha release and will download all of your (new) resources automatically

I have Libronix and Logos 4

A bunch of books are showing in the Logos 4 Library but only 2 books (I bought before the Scholars) are found in Libronix 'Resources"

I have been searching FAQ's to try and understand the whole system. I thought Libronix was needed to read ebooks on Mac. I have also downloaded the others stuff Mac 1.2.2 to try and use L4 effectively.

You are welcome.

Well I did (I am living in the Netherlands). When you have the CD's you are able to easily reinstall the old Logos for Mac 1.2.2. Libronix program (on the CD also) and resources in the case of a computer crash. When Logos4 for Mac is finished this will not be necessary anymore because you can install L4 again and it will download all the resources automatically.

Hi Ron,

Libronix was Logos' first attempt at a Mac Port it works ok but development has stopped.

Logos 4 (L4) is an alpha version of the replacement for Libronix it is fairly buggy and only half works but it is useful for somethings.

I would guess (and I might well be shot down here) that the resources that you have are L4 versions - if that is the case you will have to ask Logos to supply you with copies on CD that will work in Libronix.

The up side is that development of L4 is proceeding at a fair pace - even now I rarely fire up the old version. The biggest problem I find with it is not the crashes but the lack of 'copy' facilities. 'Apple C' doesn't work and only some for the publications have copy enabled on a 'right click'.

Hope this helps

Mike

Thanks Mike. Can I download into Libronix? Is it worth the effort to update Libronix Resources? How will that improve the L4 performance?

Having the old format of these resources will not improve L4's performance at all. The v. 1 media disk only gives you the new resources purchased with L4 in a format that the old engine understands and can use.

Blessings,

Can I transfer the two books in Libronix so they are part of the research feature in L4?

I am surprised that this has not happened automatically!

Try typing "update resources" in the L4 command line (the top text entry box) a drop down menu should appear. Actually move your cursor to the bottom option - which should just say "update resources" and click on that option.

This might solve your problem.
