User Notes unavailable in 10.3

[Harold Hosch]

For all of my User Notes in Accordance 10.3 I am getting the dialogue "The text "-" is currently not available in Accordance", and I cannot delete the warning message. I must Force Quit Accordance. This on iMac Intel, OS 10.6.8.

[Helen Brown]

Sorry for the hassles. I do have some questions. Did you choose to update them or did you choose not to? Do they now have a suffix when you Get Info on them in the Finder?

[Harold Hosch]

Helen, I checked the information in the Finder and none of them have a suffix. I did choose to update them and that seems to be where the trouble began. Some of my notes are very old going back a good number of years. This is especially true of the notes I call ruach notes. I did this in the User Notes Display Preferences. They are now set to Default and I cannot now select Custom. I use the Times font for the notes. But even the sample notes that come with Accordance create the same dialog. I trust that information may help.

[Helen Brown]

I sent you a PM, but I think I understand. In the User Notes Display Preferences you must set the Hypertext text and Alternate text to Bibles that you have, and click OK. This should prevent that warning message.

 

If you choose to Standardize the font and style, you should then be able to select from the different options in the Preferences or the individual Set Notes display.

Just a note on this. I was getting IO errors opening any of my user notes on Mac. I did as you suggested Helen and set the hyperlink texts. I should note that they were already set to ESVS, both primary and alternate, which I have. In any case resetting the alternate to KJVS temporarily so I could apply the change fixed the problem. I then set it back to ESVS as it had been and it was still fine. I had asked to update my notes to be multi-platform and they all had, and still have, a .acc4 extension.

 

Thx

Helen, Thank you very much. I have both the main text and alternate text set—ESVS main, and NRSVS alternate—and things seem to working as they should. TThanks again for your response.

I'm having the same problem(s). I get two error messages, one cycling after the other, world without end. Amen! As a result of not being able to close out the error messages I can't adjust preferences or, frankly, anything!

I got the same error even though the hypertext links were set to Bibles that are available on my system. Setting them to KJVS opening User notes and then setting them back to NIV11 worked. This was the case on both systems I have accordance installed on.

 

It's an easy enough fix but I doubt most people will be able to easily find access to their user notes once updating.

revmjcarlson, I suggest trying to open a workspace without user notes open. Then you should be able to adjust the settings.

Moved my note to the appropriate section…

I was getting the same error messages. Quit and re-opened and it was solved. Notes are now available.

 

It was scary to watch all of my notes being deleted in two seconds. But, Accordance wouldn't allow that, right?

Make a backup copy and keep it in some cloud service. Just in case…
