My projects don't seem to load (or take ages) when I try opening a project with Live already open. Yet when I open the Project by clicking on it when Live hasn't been launched yet it opens the project fine.

Any ideas?

I'm running a MacBook Pro with Leopard OSX.

Thanks to anyone with helpful advice.

more patience?

it is what it is, IMO. just be glad it's not crashing.

how much RAM do you have? 2Gb is a huge improvement over 1 Gb for me.

Well the project I just tried opening at 17:38HRS CMT is still trying to open right now at 17:49 and it says buffering samples in the bottom left and the status bar next to it is on 0%. Yeah I'm impatient, but this is ridiculous.

defrag your drive? are you drives almost full? that does suck.

same problem here on a macbook 2Gb ram, 55Gb hd free. Only happens when switching from a project to another.

yup, same problem with my macbook 2ghz 1 gig ram. I've found that although it says "buffering samples" and doesn't seem to be loading, it actually is loaded and you just need to hide Live (apple>H) and then pull it back up and everything is right there. weird.

I've done that before but on the night I posted this problem nothing seemed to get it working.

Hi SubLixx,

please try if resetting Live´s cache fixes the problem.
Delete the content of this folder:

user/library/caches/ableton/index

If the problem still remains, please contact [email protected], it would be helpful if you included the log.txt file from Live´s preferences folder:

user/library/preferences/ableton/live (your version of Live)

Best,

Jörg

Cool when I get chance I'll do that.

Also I can't replicate the problem and haven't had the problem yet with the latest update.

Thankx Jok

it is not related to ram,

i have 4gb, although my mbp 2.16 only recognizes 3 gb
and the same happens to me,
i am on live 6.0.10 though

the same buffering samples message as described
bfr i used to click on the clip/fx (bottom right) section andafter a while it would go ok

the last surprise was when i got a mackie control,
while the buffering samples goes on and on,
the faders on the mackie go up, all the info shows up
i can even play the track and do whatever i want...

except seing the open project in live that is...

lollll

i will try the suggested fix, tx
