Upgrade Help
« on: July 21, 2016, 06:01:33 pm »
When I upgrade to MC22 from MC21 will my logo change to show MC22? It says it uploads automatically however I see no changes on my MAC, still shows MC21.
would appreciate some directions please. I keep getting a message that I'm allowed 10 restores per and I have 8 left??? Go figure.
Thanks

You need to download and install MC22.

Back up your library in MC21 and restore it in MC22.

Is there a Mac-specific set of instructions for importing a previous version's library?  I'm having trouble finding the right file to select to run a restore.  Thanks.

Backups are generally stored in Documents/JRiver/Media Center 21/Library Backups/

They should have dates in their names, so you can pick the one you want; probably the newest one.

Yes, you can.  Skins aren't automatically restored; they aren't part of the backup.  You need to copy the skin from the Media Center 21/Skins/ directory to the Media Center 22/Skins directory.

I can't find modern skin folder on MC21... Could you please provide full path to skins directory? Is it only one version of modern skin for mac or for MC22 I need to find newer version ?

The skins folder is in your user's Library folder.  This folder is sort of hidden by default. The full path is:

~/Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 21/Skins/Standard View

The ~ means "your user directory". The easy way to get there from Finder is to press <shift><Command>G .  Then type "~/Library" in the dialog that comes up.  That will take you to your Library folder.  Then just navigate down the directory tree until you get to the correct folder.  Then open a new Finder window and copy to the MC22 folder.
