Dylan Rondeau:To install it right away, enter the Update Now command.
Any tips if Update now reports "No Updates Available" / "No updates were found"?
Brian Crawford:I cannot start Logos with this update.

Pete De Bonte: Dylan Rondeau:To install it right away, enter the Update Now command. Any tips if Update now fails? I'm running Verbum 6.1 SR-3 (6.1.0.0038), but "Update now" reports "No Updates Available" / "No updates were found" "set update channel to stable" and "set update channel to default" gave the same message.
Any tips if Update now fails?
Try the Update Resources command.

Any more ideas if Update now fails? I'm running Verbum 6.1 SR-3 (6.1.0.0038), but:
I am having a bit of a problem. The new update makes my dock restart every time I open Logos.

Thanks for confirming. Is there any way for me to revert to the previous version / update of Logos so that I can get smart tags back for my lecture tonight? I'm desperate here. Thanks

See Alabama's post above for instruction on logging. Enable logging, open Verbum and run the "update now" command, then post those logs in a new thread so we can see what's going on.

Pastor Michael Huffman:I have not had a chance to update and use the new update yet. Can you tell me the how the Logos Now resources are better and how to best use them? I heard that they were making them better, but have not had a chance to look at them and would like a preview of what I can expect. Thanks alot. I know as Pastors we are busy and I appreciate your help.
If I'm honest, I don't (yet) get a huge amount of use out of Logos Now. The Media Browser and Concordance Tool are both useful when I need them, but need them often. (We don't have a data projector in church, so I really need media.) The Logos Web App I will use, but at the moment it provides no more functionality than biblia.com. And I'm not really a grammarian, so the three datasets (whilst interesting) are not great value of me.
That said, as I use Logos heavily, even though I don't use these things often, I think they're worth $80/year - particularly when I hope more things might be added that chime more specifically with me.

I agree, although those technical things in Logos Now are nice, but to most users they means squat (nothing).
The Web App on the other hand can be the most useful to ALL users.
I doubt you use grammars and concordance everyday, unless you're in school (Master degree) or writing complicated dissertation.
Media Browser is nice but there are too much fluffs. Too many pictures that are just taken multiple times for test shots, and they just dump them in Media Browser. They didn't even change the file names for the pictures, they just export the jpeg out of their camera and upload them in Media Browser. Heck, I don't even feel that those "fluffs" were meant for Media Browser to begin with. It seems like it just came from someone's camera. If you ever shoot an SLR camera, you should know what I'm talking about.

You can fix your SmartTags manually. Basically if you have 64-bit Windows and 32-bit Office:
Note 1: Your Logos folder might be "Logos5" or "Logos4" (without the quotes)
Note 2: "6.3.0.0038" is the folder that used to be called "System" (but for this release only)
An alternative, easier method is:
If Smart Tags worked before they will work now you have a System folder.

Have the default Hebrew and Greek fonts been changed?
When I first loaded 6.3 the Hebrew font was very different, but changing it and then changing it back fixed it. Doing the same with the Greek font doesn't have the same effect and it still looks slightly different from before.
I too have had the "Resources are ready to be added to your library. Updates will be added when the application is restarted." message. Several restarts failed to make any difference (except that the number in the blue circle increased to 2 from 1). However, I have just purchased one book and it has downloaded, installed and indexed without restart.
Some investigation has shown that two resources in .lbxlls format are sitting in my Logos/Data/xxxxxx/ResourceManager/Downloaded folder. The same resources in .logos4 format are already in my library. Closing Logos, deleting these .lbxlls resources and restarting has made no difference. The blue circle is now showing 1 again.

I had this problem too. There's a new help page for missing fonts. This might help you, too:

Please start a separate thread and provide logs.
I just happened to be playing with this, this morning. In addition with what was said here, set update channel to either beta or default used to trigger a search for updates in the top right corner, it does not anymore with 6.3. Not sure when that changed, I believe it was this release because I would have noticed it when I went off of beta once 6.2 was out. To me that seems important (maybe it's being done silently?), as a change could require some new resources to download (especially moving to beta).
Dave Hooton: An alternative, easier method is: Open File Explorer to the place where the Logos folder is e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Logos Create a copy of the 6.3.0.0038 folder and rename it as System e.g. copy 6.3.0.0038, paste it and rename it. If Smart Tags worked before they will work now you have a System folder.
THANK YOU David!
This again works in both Word 2010 & in Word 2013

Basically if you have 64-bit Windows and 32-bit Office: open a Command Prompt (CMD) and enter regsvr32 “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Logos\6.3.0.0038\L4SmrtTg.dll” open Registry Editor (RegEdit), find “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{81490292-5570-4D02-A2AC-7B828DBD0A8A}\1.0\0\win64” and ensure the path to LogosCom.exe is “C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Logos\6.3.0.0038\LogosCom.exe” Note 1: Your Logos folder might be "Logos5" or "Logos4" (without the quotes) Note 2: "6.3.0.0038" is the folder that used to be called "System" (but for this release only) An alternative, easier method is: Open File Explorer to the place where the Logos folder is e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Logos Create a copy of the 6.3.0.0038 folder and rename it as System e.g. copy 6.3.0.0038, paste it and rename it.

I tried the first method and it didn't work... but this easier method DID! I should have chosen the easier path.
Thanks for the help!

Sorry for the trouble, Tony. The Smart Tags info was meant to be in the release notes and it got missed. It's been added now, and 6.3 SR-1 should fix Smart Tags without either of the above methods. Glad you're up and running!
