TivoToGo asks for licensed copy


daleslad

Question

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 :angry:

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.
