Since then I have been noticing (and so far only with RS)... that every so often I get a BeachBall... .and have to wait anywhere up to a MINUTE before I can continue. I turned on Activity Monitor, and each time the beachball showed up, the "Real Studio" entry turns RED, and is marked "NOT RESPONDING". After a few seconds to a minute, poof.. back to normal again. During this time. the CPU usage DOES NOT go crazy.... RS is using 2% or less, and usually it is the TOP CPU consumer at the time..... Anyone have any ideas? I mean I have the most up to date of all the important pieces. Mountain Lion 10.8.3 2012 iMac I7 with 8gig Ram Real Studio Personal R2012v2.1 One other perhaps important thing (and I hope this is NOT a contributor) Real Studio is installed on the INTERNAL 1T HD in the iMac however the PROJECT code is on a USB3.0 External Drive Is there some caching mechanism that RS might be using and the USB drive is the culprit? If so, can that cache be redirected to the internal drive? _________________ Dave Sisemore iMac I7[2012], OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 RB2012r2.1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top mjames0302 Post subject: Re: Real Studio Not Responding [OSX Activity Monitor]Posted: Sun Apr 21, 2013 7:22 pm Joined: Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:19 pm Posts: 6 I also experience this issue with a new iMac quad i5. Also on occasion Real Studio just abruptly dies while i am editing code. I have also been using RS for years and have not experienced this problem until 2012 release's. Any one any ideas? I am running Mountain Lion. I do not run any other applications while using RS.

In my experience, RS never really liked remote disks, particularly on OSX. Personally I am (usually) compiling code saved on a network share. When the connection to the share un-mounts for some reason, RS will fail to save the project, even after re-establishing the drive mapping - Tip: SaveAs still works. Things seemed to be better on Windows, until I last upgraded. RS2012R1 on Windows7 x64 has been totally unusable with projects saved on the network, for me. Project edits just stop working for no apparent reason. I make a change to the code, save the project but what get's compiled is the old source. Closing RS and re-opening the project file shows the save never took place. Other occasions, the IDE just completely stops accepting keystrokes in any code edit window - and tapping the shift key doesn't fix it. _________________ Yes it's me in the avatar Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
