This is my first attempt to download something from my Tivo to my computer with TivoToGo.
The transfer seemed to work fine but when I clicked on the Play button I get this message:
(You need additional software.- To watch your programs you need a licensed copy of Toast 8 Titanium. )

I have just read the other posts about this problem  but the fixes don't work for me.

I don't see any extras menu to run the  video from
When I click on Toast  to open it all I get are the Extras like Tivo Transfer, Spin Doctor etc.  I don't get the Toast Main window .
I can't seem to get to the Help window to run the assistant.

I decided to try and reload Toast but it won't let me do that either, it says I don't have the proper privileges again.
This is frustrating

Well I think I have it working at least to the point where I can watch on my computer the recording I transferred from my  Tivo.  I did find that I had  to choose the video from the Extra menu for the recording to be recognized. I guess that was why I couldn't find the Extras menu  the Toast app.  didn't load the first time.

I trashed my original Toast and emptied the trash and then reloaded it from the CD again.
I noticed when I dragged the Toast icon into the Applications icon that it said it was transferring 6 items. However after it was finished I saw there were only 5 items in the folder.
They were the Toast app. and 4 extras ( Spin Doctor- Disc Cover- DiscCatalogmaker- MotionPicturesHD.
The 6th item was missing and I  think it should have been TivoToGo app.

I replaced the TivoToGo app.  Which I had decided to keep when  I trashed the old Toast folder because I didn't know if  I would lose my recording if I trashed that too.

It looks like my original problem stemmed from the fact that the Toast app. didn't get transferred when  I dragged the Toast icon into the Applications icon the first time I tried loading the program.
Can anyone explain why it is only doing a partial transfer.
