New, Fun Band-in-a-Box Enhancements from Norton Music
If you liked the Ultimate Pop Rock Fake e-Disk You'll Love this new Ultimate Rock Pop Fake e-Disk *
One of our most loved Band-in-a-Box collection since the 1990s has been Norton Music's companion e-disk to Hal Leonard's Ultimate Pop Rock Fake Book. The folks at Hal Leonard published a companion book with a similar name, the Ultimate Rock Pop Fake Book. Reversing the Rock and Pop words so they don't supersede the original.
It's a Who's Who of Rock/Pop music. From Elvis Presley, to The Beatles, to Madonna, to Prince, to Taylor Swift, the most important stars of the Rock and Pop music are there.
We've been working hard to interpret the almost 550 songs ala Band-in-a-Box and we're proud of our work.
The best of both worlds: As usual, we've assigned a MIDI style and the BiaB robot should suggest a Real-Tracks style for each song. Assigning MIDI is the only way to give you both choices.
If you don't have the style assigned, no problem, just substitute one if the styles from your Band-in-a-Box collection. Or be adventurous, and reinterpret the song with a different style of music. Check out the free samples in the song list.
It's a Pop/Rock gig in a box!
If you purchase the optional Fake Book, you can load the song, open the book, and play and/or sing along. It's your Rock/Pop gig in a box.
And since they are in Band-in-a-Box .sgu format, you can rearrange them, change the key, pick a new style, and customize them to fit your musical personality.
Windows or Mac - it works on both.
Norton Music has been making Band-in-a-Box improvement products since the beginning, when Band-in-a-Box was written in pre-Windows DOS, Mac was in OS-6 and there was even an edition for the Atari computer. Our products have been recommended by the good folks at PG music, and rather than try to replace anything PG does, we add value to your favorite auto-accomplishment program, Band-in-a-Box. If you have Band-in-a-Box, you need this e-disk.

Hmm, Try putting the s after http (https://). I pay 10 dollars a month to be secure, and the shopping cart is secure. Sometimes, for some reason unknown to me, the Internet indexes an old page before I added the s to the http.
Or if you are using a bookmark, edit your bookmark to add the pesky little S.
If that doesn't work, let me know, and I'll call tech help at the web host.

Thanks.
It's your link. I tried multiple browsers.

The tech at the shopping cart company insists nothing is wrong, and points out the scores of orders I'm getting with no problems. So he says it must be something wrong with your system or your security settings.
Not being a tech, I have no idea if he is confused and blowing me off, correct, or something in between.
So I have a plan. (1) Let me know in a PM or direct e-mail what you want to order, (2) I'll figure out the price and add an extra discount for your trouble (3) PayPal me the funds and (4) I'll send the software as an e-mail attachment.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to investigate the problem, starting with my webhost, which I don't think would be the source, but it won't hurt to give that a try.
I'm inclined to agree. There are multiple events where something works for some and not for everyone, and the provider, instead of investigating in detail, takes the easy path. "It works for others so the problem must be elsewhere." Ask me how I know...

I've been in the middle before, where the webhost blames the shopping cart and the shopping cart blames the web host, and me, not a tech person, stuck in the middle. It's frustrating.
Strange, clicking on either of these 2 buttons gives me this message. Is it possible that the link associated with the store buttons is the problem ?
If I click "Send" I am taken to your store page with no problem, it seems like the link to be taken to the store page isn't secure, even though the store page itself is secure.
maybe the links on your Nortonmusic site need to be updated (?), IDK In'm not a web developer but that might be worth looking into. Just a guess though.

It is one of the problems. There are others.

Well... You are the merchant.
Did your webmaster build the page? If so, then there's the problem. If not, then there are things that he/she doesn't know. "Everything's fine" was the wrong answer in both cases.
Other wrong answers have been given including the nonsense about Security settings. My ISP is AT&T, I don't use a VPN; The four browsers I tried on my Mac have always been set to Default as is Safari on my iPad.
I was in another town on Saturday so I thought I would try again. My iPad uses cellular, not WiFi. Rather than taking screen shots, these pics were shot on my iPhone. Anyway, clicking on any of the fields circled in red gives the insecure connection message—yes, as Jay noted, one can click through and go to the cart but I won't except when testing. Clicking on the field circled in green does take you to the Cart.
Ok, here's another problem. Once I initiated payment, I got the "PayPal processing" error as before. I tried three times before it went through. The normal cause is that the back end of your e-commerce site took too long and it timed out. What I saw was a message that it had failed, not that my system had caused it. Again, something for your webmaster to fix.
Download and installation went smoothly enough. I was a little surprised that when I got the book from Amazon, it weighed 4 pounds and that the typefaces used are so small but I'll make it work.
Otherwise,I'm looking forward to having fun with this. If this works well for me, I'll be ordering more.

It's looking like it might be the webmaster (how embarrassing), me. I have my project set for today.
I have some pesky little S's at the end of http's that never got changed. Never entered my mind (I said I wasn't a techie). I built many parts of my website before I got the secure server, and there are a lot of missing pesky little s.
I'm grateful for your help.
I'll let you know when I'm done (there are a lot of pages), and I hope you won't mind trying again.
OK, the web host and the shopping cart company were correct (I think) saying it wasn't their problem. owe them an apology.
It seems like the pesky little S at the end of the http was due to the dumb S webmaster (that would be me). I'm a better musician than I am an HTML coder.
Thank you Mike and others for pointing out the problem and giving me enough clues to find a fault (or hundreds of the same one repeated).
Going by The Troubleshooters Assumption: There is only one thing wrong - and if that didn't fix it, there is still only one other thing wrong.
I guess I assumed that since I paid for the secure server, all would just point there, whether the S was on the end or not. Or else, I just didn't think about that at all. Hopefully, lesson learned.
The dumb S troubleshooter is self-taught from a book "HTML In Plain English" back in the 1990s, and does all his work on the Notepad text editor. Well, he found hundreds of http: statements that are now https: and is hoping he didn't miss one.
Since I can't recreate the problem over here, will you please try again and let me know?
It's often the little things, right? All the clicks go where they should now.
Until I place another order, I won't know if the PayPal connection is still an issue. It did work for me eventually but that was after many tries. If you haven't double-checked syntax and those links, now's the time. Outdated links can time out. I have placed many a support call over the years to them beginning with, "Ok, you changed things AGAIN without telling anyone!"
