Stable Mac Os X Tiger Version for a Powerbook G4

djofonunez · Post by **djofonunez** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 2:44 am

I was wondering which version of Mac OS X Tiger do you guys have that has given you no problems at all running ableton on a powerbook G4 Live.

I personally have opted for keeping 10.4.5 with Ableton 5.2.

I have never tried updating and going to try ableton live 6 this weekend at home. The above versions I have had no problems with at all.

What version are you guys using? Really afraid to update and then have problems in my live perfomance.

Thanks for your time,
Ofo

Powerbook g4 1.6 Ghz, 1gb Ram, 100 gb hd. Ableton Live 5.2

10.4.9 here or whatever the newest one is I can't remember.
I've the same exact machine as you, 2gb of ram though.
no problems.

Yeah dont be afraid of updating osx to the latest minor update, the problems are due to poor maintenance or too much pissfarting behind the curtains, otherwise minor 3rd party apps.

if you have any pace-protected plugins or apps I'd stay away from 10.4.9 for now. 10.4.8 is stable though.

so far as ive seen, or experienced with other intel systems,
the pace problem is intel based only,
no problem with the ppc.

What is the correct way of upgrading the Mac Os X system.

Ive heard different versions of repairing permissions before and after, downloading the combo update then running a disc verification can someone help out on this one?

just click your little apple up in the corner, scroll to update software, and let it do its thing. You dont need to repair permissions for that, only after you have changed something manually and even then there are better ways of going about it than pressing the freakin repair permissions button in diskutil cause this could cause certain more things to not work (leave your library/prefrences and system/library/extensions/ and system/library/extensions.kextcache alone).
Dont worry, apple idiot proofs most things that everyone does, like update your system. just press the button watch it download and install and reboot.
