Ableton 12 crashes on launch (MacOS Sequoia)

Post by Aeko » Wed Jul 17, 2024 2:28 am

Ableton 12.0.5 isn't running since I updated to MacOS Sequoia 15.0 Beta (Build: 24A5289h)
Just crashes on loading.
Any ideas on timeframe of when this will be fixed? I'm already used to the new features in MacOS 15 and really don't want to have to downgrade.

This OS is in beta, right?
You can report to Support, that would sure help them as Live will have to run properly once the OS is released... but for the time being don't expect everything running fine on a beta OS.

BTW, did you try updating to L12.0.10? I'm not saying it will fix your issue, but with a bit of luck, who knows...

All current Live 12 betas work fine with Sequoia on my MacBook M1. That said you can’t expect Ableton to provide support for OS betas.

Maybe try resettling Live?

UPDATE: Resetting Live worked seemed to work to get it launching, but my plug-ins were disabled.
I re-enabled my VST3 plug ins and it seems now it won't launch again.
Seems to be a problem with something within the VST3 plug-ins system folder.
Maybe one VST isn't playing ball with MacOS15?
