Live 9 crashing on launch (Mac)

Post by PulpDealer » Sun Mar 24, 2013 4:33 am

Hi,

Since tonight, Ableton on my Mac has been crashing every time I've tried to launch it.

I've reinstalled the software, trashed the preferences and repaired disk permissions but no go. Every time Ableton gets to authorizing my software it stops responding.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

Thanks.

I think Ableton is the only software company in the world, who is releasing new versions of their software on a friday.

This is so beginner-style, i mean there are so wrongful shitstorms about Ableton but this time it looks they deserve it.

I just can explain or imagine that a business man overvote the IT folks.


PS: Mr Behles really wrote parts of the Live documentation.....

Downgrading and turning off auto-updates seems to have fixed this. Having to redownload and reinstall the entire library though. Oh well...


Links to the old version for anyone else with the issue (from another thread):
Mac:
http://cdn2-downloads.ableton.com/chann ... 0.1_32.dmg
http://cdn2-downloads.ableton.com/chann ... 0.1_64.dmg

Win:
http://cdn2-downloads.ableton.com/chann ... 0.1_32.zip
http://cdn2-downloads.ableton.com/chann ... 0.1_64.zip

Remember to switch off auto update in preferences.

Since disk permissions is ok, check "verify disk". When I installed a ton of packs, it seemed to corrupt my disk a little. I followed the instructions to repair and it fixed a few buggy issues I'd been having with Live 9.
