Troubleshooting
90% of technical problems are solved by
- is it plugged in/on/connected?
- did you restart the application?
- did you relaunch the system or restart the device?
It is funny, but also true.
PRO TIP on cloud storage of files
(amplifying here a comment I made in Yellowdig)When storing files in the cloud, if they are not super-common file types like .doc or .pdf or .wav, it’s a good idea to zip (compress) them before uploading. If the cloud computers don’t recognize a file extension, sometimes the file is not properly transmitted and gets corrupted. Zipping a file puts it in a virtual "box" (which all computers do know how to handle) and leaves the contents alone. So if you ever have trouble with a Logic file you passed through Teams or OneDrive or something, try zipping it and see if that fixes it. Ditto for emailing files.
If you have any remaining problem moving Logic or Sibelius files around, let me know.
