Installing LiveWorship - Macintosh
(Related Topics: Removing Liveworship, Installing LiveWorship for Windows)
|
WARNING! By customizing the install (choosing not to install in the default location) may overwrite existing database library! Please backup your media folder before updating.
FULL INSTALL (version 1.2+): Double-click on the installer icon and follow the directions.
Prior to v1.2: After downloading a full installation (see downloads page for more information), you will be prompted to drag the LiveWorship folder into your Applications folder.
UPDATED APPLICATION (version 1.2+): If you are only downloading an update, double-click on the installer icon and follow the directions.
Prior to v1.2: You would have needed to have a previously installed full version of LiveWorship and will be prompted to drag the updated application into the LiveWorship folder.
NOTE: Requires installation of Apple's latest QuickTime release
Enabling Screen 2
(Without a second screen or projector, you can only build presentations)
In versions prior to v1.2b2, do not launch or start LiveWorship until you have connected Screen 2. Starting LiveWorship and then connecting a second screen or projector may require quitting and restarting the LiveWorship application to recognize a second screen is available.
With a second screen or projector connected, pull the Apple menu to System Preferences and select Displays.
Select the Arrangements tab and make sure "mirror displays" is UNchecked.
If you do not see an "Arrangements" tab, click the "detect displays" button.
If you are using a Macintosh iBook or pre-Intel iMac: Neither of these models were designed to have dual display (only mirroring of the desktop on both monitors). PowerBooks and most PowerMacs have the ability to "turn off mirroring" so that you can have multiple display windows which is required for using LiveWorship to "present". You can still use LiveWorship to build and edit presentations (without a projector or second monitor attached) but you will not be able to see the transitions or how the show will be presented or use any of the toolbar items (bail buttons) that are designed to work with the second screen. One of the advantages of using LiveWorship is that you can present a slide to the second screen while still seeing the LiveWorship control interface on your primary screen. In the future, we have plans to add a floating window so that you can preview a presentation without a projector or second monitor. Your computer specifications may not allow a second screen to be used for displaying a presentation. While not recommended or supported, some users have indicated they have found a way (a "hack") to allow an iBook or iMac to have dual screen functionality.

For maximum performance, we recommend setting the resolution of Screen 2 to 800x600 pixels. You will also need to make sure that this setting is also set inside LiveWorship's Size Preference.

LiveWorship Folder
A LiveWorship folder that contains the LiveWorship application, Media Library folder and Help folder is stored in these default locations:
Macintosh: Inside the Applications folder, located main level of the Startup drive
Windows: Inside the Program Files folder, located on the C: drive
Config File
In Versions 1.2 (and prior), once the program has been launched, a file named "LiveWorship.conf" is created inside the LiveWorship folder that contains the user settings.
In Version 1.2.17+, once the program has been launched, a file named "LiveWorship.conf" is created inside the user's folder that contains the user settings.
On Macintosh computers, this file is stored at:
Users/<user name>/Library/Preferences/LiveWorship Settings
On Windows computers, this file is stored at:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\LiveWorship Settings
NOTE: On Windows, this file is stored in a location that is "hidden" from normal users. To find this file, you would need to activate the ability to view "hidden files and folders". To do this:

• Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
• Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.
