Logic Crashing On Tiger... Options

[jhanna]

Hi

I've got an IMac G5 with 2 gig Ram, been useing Logic 7.0 for a few years and never had any problems, i recently bought a MOTU 8 PRE and had to upgrade to OSX 10.4 in order to instal the MOTU software, since then i've had problems with the Logic crashing, when i'm in an arrangement, sometimes if i go to save the arr as a "save as" i can type in the new version name but when i hit return to save it it crashes, it does actually save the version (thankfully!) but its still not right, its a bug i guess that shouldnt be there....yesterday the Mac crashed twice fully and today its crashed Logic twice already..... does anyone know why this is happening? i dont want to upgrade to 7.2 or 8 yet as i dont want to have to reinstal all my extra plug ins and im half way through an important project and cant risk more problems.

Thanks
J

mortalengines, thanks...

I do feel somewhat ancient when I say "Never change a working system". If you are starting "New" it is a very exciting time. I promise you I would have ALL the latest and greatest being offered. Like I did five or six years ago when I first built my "Home Studio". It was solid. When I hit the Main Power Switch everything came to life. I did not realize I had become subtly addicted and wanted more software and gear to add to my arsenal and I would surely conquer the world if I only knew what any of this stuff does?!

Against my Technicians advice, I added new stuff. I had to call him back and pay him AGAIN to fix my error of "changing/adding" to my Established System. Did I learn? No. It gets worst. Still, new stuff is coming out and I just gotta have it. Expensive Software, but what about my VST? I did not call the "Original" Technician, again, ever, I felt too stupid, so I get a "New" Technician... Changes EVERYTHING AROUND.... ARRGHHH! So, much time and money spent, sleep lost... and I still DON'T use one third of the stuff 'n thangs!

Software changes so fast it is crazy, the companies and ad campaigns make you think "This is what I have always wanted/needed" but, expect the domino effect...

Sorry, long winded as always, but if your two, three thousand Dollar, Pounds or Euro system is running don't screw it up by adding a hundred fifty dollar, pounds, Euro Software that "Shuts Down Your System"... It AIN'T WORTH IT.

"You can't sleep a wink, when your system goes blink, make you turn to drink, don't care what you think, sign this in ink... Never, ever, ever Change a working system, no, no, no, no, noooo.... don't do dat.... Thank you dat wuz brought to you by old dumb ass Mac Daddy... "Going to the States tomorrow... Gonna have fun and shooooop!" Be sharp, don't Bb.
