if they're essentially saying it's Apple's fault... but more specifically are saying it's a user profile issue, then maybe you could call Apple. do you have Apple Care?Hektagon1 wrote:Well I have some updates now.
So it seems that Ableton Support are recommending me to delete my Operating system and reinstalling it or keep using Ableton Live on a separate user on my Mac. Neither of the options are good for me, since I use my computer for work and reinstalling the whole system would be a nightmare and creating another user is pointless since I have to share all my samples and all my libraries.
I really wish that Ableton could get to the bottom of these type of issues; it is the only piece of software in my machine that behaves in such a strange way.
i've seen issues with applications in Windows networks where the fix came down to renaming the user profile on the machine to username.old so that the next time the person logged in it created a new machine profile for them and the application would then work as expected. it's faster than digging through registry settings and [hidden] application files hoping to find the root cause.
for you, copying over your files should be a possibility. in the scenario i described above, we would copy their documents and pictures folders and export their browser favorites. after they log in, we import their files and favorites to the new but matching directories and it's done. it's hassle-ish, but not hard.
