It’s a known issue with Finale 25. They say that the problem has been fixed in F26 (just released.)

when are we getting fix for V25? ? I just bought v25 a year ago.

No fix, as far as I know. Sorry.

Wow. Feel like got ripped off.

Version 26 is out and you'll be happy to know that they've fixed the issue.  My iMac is now every bit as fast at inputting as my PC. 

Good luck with the update!

I don’t plan on updating. I have no faith v26 is going to work a year from now on Apple’s next OS update. Some folks just bought v25 a few months ago now doesn’t work. We were told they were going to fix this with update. Then then they told us it works fine so no update needed. It doesn’t. Maybe they are thinking this as a hidden subscription service? Just buy new upgrade once a year for $150. That’s only $12.50 a month.

… Just buy new upgrade once a year for $150. That’s only $12.50 a month …

If I am not mistaken, the cycle “new upgrade once a year” is “a thing of the past”.

Now it is a “two year cycle”, like $6.25 a month.

Not for the people that bought v25 in August 2018. Upgrade cycle was 2 months.

Marv, I'm confused. You said you bought v25 a year ago, not a couple of months ago.

Yes correct. I did but others have bought since then. Let’s hope they fix this like they originally said before it esculates.

After some back and forth tech support I was anke to get v25 to work at an acceptable level! Great customer support! Thank you.  Much appreciated!
