Ableton Crashes everytime i try to save version 8.2.2

[Karldali]

Hello people

So yet another problem with Ableton (thats about 1 a week since i've had it):-(

So i try to save and ableton crashes, i open it up immediately and it loads up my project, but now i dont want to turn off my G5 because i might loose my work, which annoyingly just so happens to be the best ive done to date, Grrrrrrr!!!!!

I have already tried deleted the preferences and template files without success.

I have VST's running but they have never caused a problem before and there all legit.

Any advice would be great maybe then i could turn of my mac whilst im at work all day

Cheers

I do get this a lot. It has happened with 8.1 for me anyway. Mostly just when I have a bunch of stuff in the set or have recorded some audio. It just says Live has run out of memory and then closes.

A couple of times I've had my whole laptop just completely shut down out of nowhere.

wait .. your G5 ?
so, you are using a PowerPC chip to run Live?
(G5 ...Discontinued August 7, 2006)

Doesn't that run the whole app through the OSX PPC emulation thingy wouldn't it? I thought all you mac guys had moved on now. G5 was a long time ago.

I'm no Mac expert but from my knowledge : with the PPC systems Live will run but not to its optimum as it is going through a translation to run on that old chip. Also, if you load up an old VST it will kick your mac into full-on steam-engine mode and the whole thing will die on its arse.

there's a performance thread knocking about this forum somewhere that demonstrates the difference between a current Mac and a G5. As I recall the G5 is somewhere in the region of 80x less powerful than the current model. I'm sure a real Mac person can fill in the details here.

tldr; Steve Jobs, everyone loves him, but he hates you.
