I have OS9 & OSX on my G4, and I ran into trouble a few months ago when I was switching between the two. My computer guy said that it couldn't find the information it needed to work properly, and recommended that I "clean the desktop" regularily. Does this make sense? and how do I do this?
Thanks for the help. |

backshed, VST/OS9 and AU/OSX can and do 'Clash'. Is your Mac Retailer familiar with "Music"? All Technicians/Sales are not created "equal". Where do you live we can find a good Tech near you. They even do house calls, but your problem does not seem to need this. Is your Software Registered? The Mac Security Updates can cause havoc if there's unregistered Software.
Perhaps I'm brainwashed, paranoid or programmed by the retailers, software notices, legal matters, but I think software abuse/misuse is more PC than Mac. Mac owners seem to be less daring and more protective of their machines than PC users. I've seen some great software for PC. You just have to be a Rocket Scientist to Custom Install, Crack Codes, blah-blah. Hell, why not just pay the $20.00! No offense to any PC owners... I admire your abilities, and all the software, freeware, shareware, stolenware available to you. There has never been the amount of Software for Macs as for PC's. Never will be. But, if Mac accepts the License Deal... It will work 97%... Bugs fixed free in an update. |
