[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1583393, member: 56379"] This is why I'm not a big proponent of updating the OS soon after a new version is released (OS 10.9.3 is/was a very recent update). This is because of one of two things. Either: - the new OS version is "buggy" and needs to be fixed. - some applications may not be as compatible with the new OS version (10.9.3 in this case)...as the applications were with OS 10.9.2. The application compatibility issue can sometimes be solved quickly or not. If the new OS version is applied too quickly after it's release...there's a greater chance of incompatibility...since the developer of the app may or may not have released a patch to combat the problem (or they may not be aware there is a problem). If the developers of the application found a problem with a pre-release of the OS update...then an app patch may already be available (check the developer's website for an update). Or...if the developer is not aware that there is a problem with their app and the new OS update...then it may take them a while to release a patch. In your case (since you have a project due in a couple days)...it may not have been a great idea to apply this update...since ANY update applied to the OS or an application...can cause instability to an existing stable system. So...the OS update may be completely stable...the problem may be that the application that is crashing may not be compatible with the OS update (which may only be fixed via a patch from the developer). So you have at least three options: 1. Check the app developers website for a patch. 2. Revert back to a previous OS version when everything was stable (I'm assuming OS 10.9.2). Unfortunately reverting to an older OS version is a pain in the neck. 3. Finish this project on another Macintosh computer that is stable...and has the app you need installed on it. - Nick [/QUOTE]
