Dear Mackillop annd webmaster,
This is a post I had been dreading... I run a music techology suite for adults here in London where we run 7 macs. Up till now we have been on OS9.2 and running Cubase VST v5.1. We also run ProTools LE 5.1 and Sibelius 1.4. In order to minimise students 'messing up' our systems and leaving files in the wrong place, we've also been running PowerOn software's OnGuard software which limits student account access to the Macs. However, we've been having a range of problems with Cubase in particular, mostly crashing on startup with Error Type 2 (addressing) but also when trying to save! Hardly ideal I'm sure you'll agree. Oddly enough it even happens when logged on as admin with full permissions though genererally not when booting up with OnGuard off. It became clear that permission to 'write to' the system folder was required in order to update the Cubase Prefs when needed. We still suffer occasional and unexpected crashes however. I just encourage the students to save regularly. The point is we plan to move over to OSX this summer break and we have Cubase SX, ProTools LE 6 and Sibelius 2 ready and waiting. I had planned to do as you've tried, create a number of user accounts to protect our systems and our students' work, one account per class. Is it the case then that the limited user accounts won't permit Cubase use as you say? I'm not a UNIX boffin I'm afraid and what's more, I'm basically doing this on my own without the help of a technician. I'd really appreciate any developments any similar users may come up with. Please feel free to email me directly on midiwife@aol.com if you can save me endless trial and error frustrations! If anyone has any recommendations for getting me up to speed on basic UNIX understanding I'd be grateful. Kind regards to you all, midiwife. |
