We have found that this problem is almost always caused by our sites being blocked at Education Department Level or school level. This problem may also occur off school networks with Education Department or school issued devices.
Please contact your technical person and ask them to make sure that all bushfirepress.com,  bushfirepress.com.au and bushfirepress.cloud domains and subdomains are unblocked for you. Whitelisting ANY domain with bushfirepress would be good. This type of problem has mainly occurred in (but not been limited to) Queensland. We are told that EQ IT has addressed this problem.

I have a new computer, notebook or tablet. How do I transfer my books to my new device?

All you need to do is download the reader to your new device and login using the same username and password as you used on the old one. You will find links to the readers at the top of this page.

How many times can I download my purchase?

This will vary depending on the title. When you purchase a resource on Music Room connect, you are entitled to at lest 5 downloads per device type. However titles that lend themselves to being used in multiple classrooms through a school will have a higher limit. This limit can be updated for you if you need it (see next entry).

Help, I’ve exceeded my download limit!

We understand that occasionally things can go wrong during the downloading process, like the network dropping out. If you’ve had problems downloading a resource and have exceeded your download limit in doing so, just email us and we’ll get it sorted.

I can’t get the book to display in portrait mode on my Windows tablet

Windows tablets aren’t quite sure if they are tablets or computers.
The MRC Windows App only displays a double-page spread.
