Hey all,

My G4 Titanium's logicboard (running Tiger, Live 6.0.10) went bad, and was replaced by a brand new MacBook Pro running Leopard. I migrated Live, and everthing went fine reregistering. Now it crashes everytime I load a file older than December. I even tried stripping out various plug-ins (Crystal, FreeAlpha, Black Water Reverb, etc). Doesn't help.

Any ideas? Is this an incompatibility problem with Live 6 and Intel Macs?

Any ideas welcome.

The issue is most likely that you will use newer versions of your plug-ins on your MacBook... (new UB versions). I think there is an incompatibility with one of your plug-ins... try to freeze all 3rd party plug-ins on your PowerBook, move them over to the MacBook and see what happens...

are you using a fully legitimate verion of Live in both cases?

I ask because it sounds a little like the timed expiry thing.

Yes, I am using a legit copy. Something I've been pushing myself to keep straight on these days.

Strange as it may seem, my problems have cleared up somewhat by playing around w/ the third-party plug-ins in new files, and then opening up the older .als files.

**shrug**

I don't get it, but it's working so far. I have found that a couple p-i's were not Intel compatible (ie, Black Water's Reverb). Weeding those out as I find them.

Thanks for the help, folks!
