Mavericks and Logos 6

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/653430#Comment_653430

Thanks, Alan. Are there any benefits that Logos 6 takes advantage of in Yosemite that are not present in Mavericks?

Not that I'm aware of. Someone will undoubtedly correct me if I'm wrong.

You are strongly advised to wait to update to Yosemite... At least until you have finished downloading any large resource updates.

I have been on Yosemite since early in its release, and I had no trouble downloading or running Verbum 6 that point to a Yosemite issue. I realize not everyone is in that boat, I just wanted to make sure people know it's not everybody.

Thanks, Don. Since this is my only current computer running, I didn't want to run into any snafus that I might be able to avoid while preparing for this week. I am very curious what percentage of users are experiencing problems with the large downloads. It seems like that is the only problem affecting logos.

Out of curiosity: What are your device specs? What year?

Same here - I haven't had any problems. Specs of my machine in my signature.

Early 2013 iMac i7 with 26GB RAM and a 3TB Fusion Drive. Connected to the internet via wi-fi cable modem.

I have had no problem with mega downloads. From reading the forums, it seems that this problem affects a relative minority of Mac users. However, it is a very serious show-stopper for those who are experiencing the bottleneck.

From the three of you, it sounds like you were all on 2013 or newer devices. I wonder if that is part of the problem.

Interesting possibility. For a definitive answer we would need to determine the platform specs of those having the problem.

That's why I asked in my "metathread," but most users didnt catch the hint. [;)]

I also got the 200MB+ download today with no problems.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/653816#Comment_653816

You guys are giving me hope. It sounds like your machines are of similar vintage to mine and are not having the problems. Like you said Alabama, it would really nice to know the various specs of the machines experiencing the problems.

FWIW, I have not experienced these issues, either:

Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 13" - 2.4 GHz i5 - Yosemite

Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 13" - 2.4 GHz i5 - Yosemite

Most everyone who has said "no problems" is using a late 2013 mac (or newer)... those who have stated they are having problems are almost all using an older device. That may or may not be relevant.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/653906#Comment_653906

Very interesting. Certainly thank you gents for piping in here. Are there any on this forum with late 2013 macs or later who HAVE HAD the problem?

I know that I read of one... but I think only one. It is hard to juggle all these threads and posts together. I also like to remind others (and myself as well!) that just because multiple users are reporting similar symptoms doesn't mean they have the "same problem."

Certainly seems to be related to older MacBooks. Using a late 2009 model and being downloading 5GB for more than a week. PC with Windows 8.1 took a couple of hours.

Have you seen this, beta of 10.10.1 is out, allegedly addresses WiFi problems. I wonder if anyone having the problem is able/desires to get on the beta program (must be a registered developer to do so)?

Thanks, Alabama. I understand that, just trying to find if there are some consistencies.

Just a quick update. I took the leap this afternoon. Upgraded to L6 Platinum from L5 Platinum, plus a bit more. Went beautifully. From start to finish took less than 1 hour. Was back up and finishing prep for Sunday.

Thanks to all for input and suggestions and for the Logos, er, Faithlife team for a great product.

Same here, I have a late 2012 27" iMac with a 3.2Ghz Intel Core i5 with 8 gigs of ram . It's now going on 1 week 2 days . I turned off the wi fi and connected the either net wire directly to my mac and it's still crawling at a snells pace. Now my late 2007 PC with 4 gigs of ram and quad core processor, it took only 2 days to down load and index...Thankfully I have both platforms or I would be having a fit right about now.. more info i have at least 10 gig of info per my down loads.

There are some threads with MANY suggestions, but I have one for you to try.

Keep your WIFI & Blutooth off and use ethernet
Make sure "automatic downloads" is turned off in logos settings.
restart your computer
open up "activity monitor" in OS X utilities, and click on the "network" tab
wait a minute to see if Logos starts indexing.
once the indexer icon disappears, start up logos
when the "there is a download" bar appears, click on it to start the download.
when the indexer/download icon appears above, press command-Q to quit logos (the download will continue)
keep an eye on the logos download/indexer in the "activity monitor." If you see the download stall for several minutes, kill it and go back to step 3

This method has worked three times for me... but I have also done many of the other "fixes," so I am unsure if this was a fluke, a combination of all the things I have tried, or a genuine fix.

Thanks for the info, I've done as you suggested I'm now at 53%, 1.86 gig left...soon and very soon..

Let us know how it goes.

Good evening, I have 64.5mb left. This is what I did , the yellow tri angle with the exclamation mark, when having over it will let you what going on, apparently what was happening is that indexing and down loading were happending at the same time. I canceled the down loads and let indexing process finish, then I let the down load continue. Also I have an app called memory clean, using this I would clean the cache and other memory hogs throgh out this process.

Not to discount possible Yosemite issues. I am wondering if there is some setting in Logos 6 causing timeouts to happen quicker. My last 402 MB was being very stubborn and I could not get them to download. Itook my MBP with me and turned off wifi and bt tried downloading it over USB on my iPAD... 3G signal was strong but it still died off at 45% (before this at home on my satellite based internet it was dying off 3-5%. When I got to a spot with decent LTE signal i tried again and it downloaded without issue. I have experienced not problems with any other program but Logos. It honestly feels like Logos won't download unless it has a very high speed connection (whether this is the case or not I don;t know I can only tell you my experience).
