iPhone App + BIAB 2011 for Mac

Post by Nate Hofer »

I have the latest update for my Mac and I have the iPhone app. I can't get the app to recognize my desktop. It askes for a server IP and won't go very far. And in fact the instructions say I need the 2011 update for a (gasp!) PC!

So I understand that but I can't imagine why the developers would not make the iPhone app and my Mac non-compatible!

Any insights here? I imagine a fix is on the way, right?

The Band-in-a-Box app specifically says in the iTunes store: "Important: You need to also have Band-in-a-Box 2011 for Windows to use this program at all."
The iPhone support page for Band-in-a-Box on the PG Music site is pretty clear about needing the Windows version as well.
I would post something on the PG Music Forums if I were you.
