The Lighting Controller

Hi, i've been using sweetlight for about 5 yrs on windows / pc and now finally moving over to mac. i installed the mac version of the software and dragged the .dg file into application folder. when i launch the application it says no universe found. i'm able to go and declare my fixtures. i have 4 elation design spot 250s. is there anything else i need to install on mac side to get this running? any guidance would really help...thanks. and is there a way to copy my shows over from pc since i have about 50 shows that i created and use every weekend.

Use the "import show" program

To import the lightshows in your MacOS computer, from Windows software V5
- use the V5 to V6 lightshow converter viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48
- use ControlBoard > Export in Windows software V6
- use ControlBoard > Import in MacOS software V6

No universe found

What is your interface ?

im see some posting that say it USB DMX dongle does not work with mac..is this the case? the dongle is only for windows???? do they make one for MAC? if so how much is it and where can i get it in the USA? thanks.

Is there any good news about the problem for mac not recordnise the usb dmx dongle, is there something to do or is it better to buy a new controller/ universe? If it is a new universe what is the best for a reasonable prize?

Interface "Cable" is only for Windows.
We suggest you interface "D512".

About a year ago...here in Holland... i bought the Xpress100 USB cable from Chauvet...In the box was a little cd-r with software v.6.24 for both MAC and Windows.
When i use LIVE i can use the DMX and 3D at the same time.

I assumed that the USB cable that u can find on the forum was identical but guess not : )
