Ableton Forum

Now that Live 7 is out, the system requirements read "10.4 or later recommended)".

Just to be clear then, this means that Live 7 was tested and fully supported on 10.4/Leopard?

Seems to mean that exactly but It would be nice to see it explicitly said by Ableton somewhere. There's a FAQ entry for Vista, but nothing for Leopard.

I just updated to leopard 10.5.1 and now live 7 won't start... hmmmm... any suggestions...

It was a melodyne rewire bug

I had to delete a few files and now it's running...

thanks...

I didn't upgrade to Leopard, but given the so close to release date of the first patch I've decided that I'll wait. Leopard it's sure good but I'm ok on Tiger 10.4.11.
However I have tested on Leopard during the Live beta and found no particular issues.

I'm running Live 7 with Leopard and having no problems whatsoever. In fact it runs better and can really handle the EIC Grand Piano far better than before--zero skipping, sputtering, wheezing, etc.

even I've used the beta and it works perfectly on leopard...

I loaded Leopard and now my Warp Markers will not work. If I click a ton of times I can get it to turn yellow. Real pain in the a@# and it is keeping me from using the program. Staff have been trying to help me with no success. Does anyone know how to roll back to TIGER? I am a new MAC user on top of being a new LIVE user so I am realled messed up!

The only way I know to roll back and entire OS to a previous version is rely on a backup you made before upgrading.
If you didn't do that, then you need to reinstall the old OS to "roll back."

Do that, and then use something like superduper to back it up BEFORE upgrading the next time around.

Be aware that at this moment in time, superduper (which I LOVE) does NOT work properly on Leopard. It will "successfully" create the backup, but won't restore from sparse image files.

So, reinstall Tiger... and then use superduper to back it up to a sparse image (or clone to an external FW drive) after you're finished setting it up as a DAW machine again.

Personally, I make a sparse image, and then extract that to a FW drive right before installing the new OS. Then, you can install Leopard on the internal drive, and use the migration assistent to pull everything over from the original OS install (apps, plugins, activations and all). It works great, and saves a lot of reinstall/reactivate headaches.

Good luck,

actually, i believe you can archive and install (make sure you preserve users) and roll back that way...
