Yah I second that. I have never had a problem with my OSX but I have
a buddy who did some "cleaning" on his and he is getting constant
error messages. I'm not sure he used that article or not, but he did
something with his fonts that has caused real problems. I on the
other hand never defrag or dick with anything...I just leave it on
all the time and everything seems fine (knock on wood).
Yeah, thats what I find so hard to grasp about X. On one hand, we should leave it alone, but on the other hand there are quite a few little things that we do need to do. I have gotten to repairing permissions and runing the sudo's after any long session. The sudo's (which are what run at 3 am, or can be ran from Cocktail), are supposed to defrag the hard disk and straighten things out, but I ran Diskwarrior and found a huge amount of stuff out of order - like 20%. I read one tech write not to use Diskwarrior but some other expert said it is valable to run. Its hard to know what to do and what not to do.
By the way, I have found that most of the crashes which Logic come from using 8 or 9 virtual instruments - even if most are frozen. But I still have occasional crashes out of the blue for no apparent reason (logic and soundiver) - so I save frequently. Also, there is buggy behaviour in Logic for me every single session - for example the DELETE key will not work in the Matrix editor but it works on the arrange page. (I did a search on the delete key in the key commands in cases it was defined but it was not). I used to have F11 and F12 for rewind a bar and ff a bar - but they won't work. When I change the keycomamnd to Control F11 and Control F12 they work. But I think some of this stuff dates back to 6.4 too. I thought this might have to do with my old keyboard running through a serial to usb adapter - but it still happens after I bought a brand new keyboard. So I just live with it.
