Crashes on Mac Book Pro [Solved -- Bad Drive]

<< < (2/3) > >>

JimH:
Try using Panel on the tablet.  Just to see whether that works.

Panel is on the wiki.

Ok, its not the remote causing the issues.  thats neither the tablet or the iphone remote.

The issue is with MC alone.

It plays one song and then just freezes.  I have done hard restarts, reinstalled the Duet drivers and sill the same issue occurs. Even with the Duet disconnected MC freezes.  It is just unusable.  I spent and hour starting restarting, starting this morning just to play some music. 

I have even uninstalled MC and reinstalled it and it still goes into a tail spin.

Could it be the 5TB drive that I store my music on?  I tried another 5TB drive and the same issue happens with that drive.

would you like me to send you the error log file to help fix this?

baldo:
BTW this issue is only occurring with my Mac. MC works fine on my two windows machines.

JimH:
Could you test with files on a local drive?  You could set up a test library for that purpose.

baldo:
Hey JimH, thanks for your quick response.

What do you mean by test them onto a local drive?  Do you mean to copy a load of my flac files onto my main drive used by mac os?   I could try that and see what hapoens and report back.  Leave that with me.

n the meantime, one correction to my post above,  it seems that if i change the usb hard drive to the one used by my windows laptop, and make the appropriate rule in portable library, this seems to have the system working for now.  Not sure what will happen long term in the days to come but lets see how that goes.

I am running chkdsk on the usb drive used for the mac.  If this is culrpit then I could try and use this drive on the laptop and see if I get any issues.

Regarding formatting of this 5TB drive, should it be formatted as ntfs or the mac formating?  Should i just wipe this drive and format it on the Mac from scratch and then copy all the files across onto it?
