    Avid freezes after OS update.

    I just upgraded to 10.4.11.  I am still on QT 7.3.0 and XPress pro 5.8.  When I was on 10.4.10  I had NO problems.  I have no idea why I uprgraded! So here is my problem.  The computer keeps freezing up on me and I am getting the pinwheel!  I have no idea how to fix this.  Does anyone know if the 5.8.3 patch help fix this.  If so I looked into the download and I can not figure out where to get?


    G5 2.5 Dual

    2 gig ram

    SD Mojo

    QT 7.3.0

    Any suggestions?

    In Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.  Choose your Mac hard drive and repair disk permisions

    Re: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You need to upgrade your QT and your  version of Avid. 

    x.8.3 added support for 10.4.11 and QT 7.4.1.

    Go to the download center, register for a password and download the update.

    Marianna posted an FAQ about this in the general forum or check the announcement I posted at the top of this one.

    I tried to get a download password/useername.  However, I have not recieved anything back from avid.  I have checked my spam etc...  Is there another place that I can go to download .8.3?

    It takes a while. They are entering this registration info by hand so be a little patient. IF you don't hear anything in a couple of days, check back.
