Is anyone else finding that they have to restart Live almost every time Push is reconnected to Live? I've had it work once or twice after I've been using Live for a bit, but most of the time it I'm having to save the set I'm working on and then quit and relaunch Live to get Push to re-initialize. Oddly after I just relaunch Live and Push will reconnect without problem each time I turn on and off. It's only after I've been using it for a bit or if my macbook's been asleep or something, then Push refuses to reconnect no matter how many times I try.

I've personally never had this issue on Win7 64bit 16GB RAM, using Live 9 Suite 64bit.

I left Live running all evening once and came back, turned on Push and was almost instantly able to control Live.

What are your exact machine specs?

Live 9.0.2, Mac OS X 10.8.3, MacBookPro5,4

Just waiting for Live to relaunch so that it will actually realize Push is connected and waiting to be initialized. There we go. Good job Live. I knew you could do it. I know, OS X was displaying an Ableton Push connected in "System Information," but you just just needed a little help. It's ok. A quick little restart / the Windows special, and you've got it all figured out. You're doing your best, I know. Heck sometimes you even figure it out on your own and hopefully you will do better in the future.

I haven't had any problems like this. I can connect it or disconnect it whenever. 2012 Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.3.

Yes, I have been having the same problem. It's really annoying.
I'm on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5 with Live 9.0.5

Has anyone talked to support or had any luck with an update..?

I havent experienced this.

Never had this issue, but if you do have it you could try to go to prefs and delselect/reselect Push in control surfaces instead of restarting Live.

I just let mine sit and it refreshes or something and populates the Push screen.
