is it safe to upgrade to osx 10.4.10?

i haven't done it yet because i had read that somebody was having problems i think with firewire or usb devices. i don't mind sticking with 10.4.9 if i have to. anybody done this yet?

I'm still on 10.4.8.

I thought 10.4.9 was the one to be cautious about, and 10.4.10 was the fix. No?

Been running 10.4.10 here since it was released with no issues.

MBP 2.16 c2d, Ultralite.

since i'm also a pro tools user, i wait until digidesign begins to sort of "half authorize" it by giving us a link to a combo update from Apple or something. They didn't officially support 10.4.9 until a month before 10.4.10 came out. So I always just wait a few months. Live works great in 10.4.9 so I don't see what the rush is.

I'm running Macbook Pro (the latest model) on 10.4.10 with no problems. Didn't have any problems with my Powerbook either.

But I guess it depends which plugins you have, since didn't it cause some problems with certain plugins?

Anyway, I don't have any problems with Live's general functioning.

are any of you guys using firewire devices though? (particularly tascam fw1884s...)

thats pretty much what i was thinking 966sf. i'd really rather not load it up until i know people aren't having a problem with. by the looks of things i'm guessing it'll be straight.

just to inform you guys that since I updated to Mac OS X 10.4.10, my live 6 started crashing nonstop. CPU load was around 20-30% max, even with no rewire and a 13 track song it kept crashing every 5 min...

I'm on a MacBook Dual Core Intel 1.8Ghz 2G RAM with an Edirol FA-101 Firewire Audio Interface + MOTU 128 Midi Interface.

I downloaded the 1.1 quickfix from apple.com but it did change a thing...

never had those firewire/usb problems tho.

Charlie,

is it unique to just that Live set? or anything you do in Live? Have you tried other interfaces on it? What plugins are you running on the set?

MacBook
2.16 c2d
1 gig ram
100 gig
10.4.10
MOTU Ultralite
Live 6

No problems, and it's fast as hell.

I've tried other forms of Sets: Djing sets work perfectly, but they're only bunch of clips/loops from mp3 files.

I also tried another song and it did the same thing. It's a pure Live 6 song, with Reason 3.0 rewire and some midi output to control analog synths... no VST what so ever, I even disabled my VST folder to see if it was source of the problem but no...

I can't even listen to my whole songs... and test my brand new Tannoy Reveal 5As!!

i'm thinking it might be a problem with Rewire. maybe try some sets without Rewire. Even in 10.4.9, I run into lots of problems with Rewire between many different DAWs
