Ableton Forum

Ableton I have had a few problems I would just like to let you know about so you can fix any bugs.

1.Reminder about the "Unable to delete undo.cfg" message when opening and closing sets (This does not happen every single time, maybe 50% of the time I open a set).Please can you get this fixed soon its well annoying.(Note I have been getting this bug since live 4 OSX and its Still present in latest betas) When will it end ?
2.Complete lock up of live and OSX when working on a tune that contained 13 audio clips playing.I started making an impulse beat not by playing but drawing the notes into a clip.The cursor turned into a selection rectangle by itself and refused to return to its normal state.Audio still playing back but lost all control of my computer.The only thing I managed to do was stop playback using CC controls mapped to transport controls on my keyboard.After that I couldnt close set, move cursor, quit live or even just switch to the finder in OSX, when I tried the rectangle was just resizing as I moved the cursor around the screen. Total Lockup of program + OS Crash Bug
3.Sometimes when trying to open sets the loading seems to take a long time and then when the set loads, nothing will respond.EG Play button flicks when you click it but set does not start.

Problems 2 and 3 I have had are all problems with 5.0.1 Version you may already be aware of them if so sorry.
I also appreciate you have to fix things as they are reported and will be hard at work on the latest update.I hope this info helps though.

Yep, I experienced this one recently. You can't click and the keyboard does not respond; no choice but to reboot.
To be fair, I didn't lose any work as Live restored the unsaved file I was working on. Whew.

i had a thing like that but in live 4... hasnt happened since moving to v5.
i remember i use to fix it by using force quit then cancelling the force quit.
this would enable me to regain control of the mouse and Live...

its definetly not a good fix, but it use to work for me...
