Which leads me to the next issue: stability. Others on this list have praised the stability of OS X and PS7, but that is not my experience during the two weeks I have been running it. The reason why I am so annoyed by having to reload the actions are because PS7 is crashing quite often, making it necessary to restart and reload the actions all the time. So I would welcome any suggestions as to the stability problems on my machine. I have both application crashes and full system crashes (OS X prompts me to restart the machine). I thought this would be a thing of the past with OS X...?I had exactly the same issues with my PS7/OSX installation. Constant crashes, not just with PS but PS was by far the most unstable app, sudden logouts and full kernel panics. If PS stayed up for an hour it was a really good day.
As this mostly manifested itself with PS, I blamed Adobe and Apple for my woes, particularly as PS ran like a diamond in os9, no problems whatever.
Rod Wynne-Powell called me and suggested it might be an issue of bad RAM. I duly threw every ram test under the sun at my box but everything came up roses, no problems. I still blamed Adobe and Apple.
One evening after a particularly bad crashing session I decided to tear out all my ram and try a process of elimination.
Sure enough, with one particular RAM unit removed by Mac is *completely* transformed. I haven't had so much as a sudden logout, let alone a kernel panic in over a week. This is most unusual I can assure you.
I intend to wait another week before adding the suspect RAM again, at which time I expect the crashes to reappear.
As for the pausing, I would suspect bad RAM first and then a slow processor.
OSX really is God's gift. I suspect your problems lie in hardware.
Good luck
