Re: Kid Pix 4 and Type to Learn 3 on OS X

 Hi Chris,

We also purchased the network version of Type to Learn 3 for OS X. What I did was to mount it on the local machine that I used to make my image, and mounted my share point on my RAID as the destination for the server part of the program and did the install. After that I installed the client on my image using the client installer that the program had just installed on my share point and ran it once to make sure it would work. The path for mine is /Volumes/RAID/Groups/All_Students/CD\ Images/Type\ To\ Learn\ 3\ Network/ The ownership is that everything listed in that path is owned by admin with rwx and the group is all_students with rwx. The other thing that I did was to go into the local admin on the image machine, and extract the preference for Type to Learn. It is called "Type to Learn 3 Net Prefs" I copied that to all of my users /Library/Preferences folder, and changed the ownership over to them. It's worked for me. I hope that helps.

  Paul

We purchased and run Type to Learn 3 Network - OS X version. We upgraded from the OS 9 version.

The program seems to run fine - the main problem I've had that I frankly haven't had time to find a workaround (if it exists) is that it doesn't work if you image the machines.

We set up all our machines from images using CCC and Netrestore. I set up my master machine with Type to Learn 3 and it was working perfectly. I clone the machine and every other program works - except this one.

But - if I run the installer on the machine after I clone it then it works fine. It is like it establishes some unique identity between the data storage and the individual client and will only work once that installer runs and sets up that link.

We had to reimage the lab recently and had to reinstall the program again - a pain.

If anyone else has run into this and knows a workaround I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Our school district is in the process of upgrading our client
computers from Mac OS 9 to OS X.  Two key pieces of software for
our elementary programs has been Kid Pix and Type to Learn.

We are thinking of upgrading to Kid Pix Delux 4 Network version
and Type to Learn 3 Network version, both of which run native in
OS X.  If anyone on this list has experience with either of these
software versions running on OS X, I would you please share your
experieces with the group?

Thanks,
