It’s a pain in the ass that apple didn’t release Leopard sooner and instead added on to the current OSX Tiger with their 10.4.10 update (this also including a 10.4.10 v1.1 update). Every time I update my MacBook Pro with the lastest bug fixes Pro Tools never works and I find myself scanning forums all around the world including Digidesign to find out what the hell is going on. The last time I had this problem before I updated I checked to see were there any problems. After seeing no complaints I went ahead and updated. Shortly after I go to load up pro tools but it doesn’t move in my dock. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I thought to myself, quite possibly vocalizing it a few moments later and kicking things, basically a temper tantrum. I went to the MacInTouch site and it tells me that there is a problem with the OSX software updater and that I need to go directly to the apple site and download the combo updater. I do this and low and behold problem solved.

The next update that arrives I go directly to the apple site and download the combo updater and ignore the software updater. After I restart I load up Pro Tools and it doesn’t work. Aghhhhhhhh!!!!!! I thought, this time flailing around the house with my hands above my head shaking furiously. I find out later the problem was with Pro Tools, due to them bringing out an update to compensate for apples lack of consideration. So I download the update and low and behold pro Tools works again. Yipeeee!!

Last night I updated my quicktime software and when I went to open up Pro Tools it wouldn’t work. This time there is no information as to why Pro Tools is acting this way. Could it be that apple are a bunch of cunts?? Quite possibly. In saying that I would still never consider buying a Pc. I spit on Pc’s and fart in their general direction. It’s not really the hardware that bothers me because nowadays it’s more or less the same i.e. Intel in a Mac, but the OS; Windows I hate you!! I’ve tried using Pro Tools before on a windows system and I could not count the amount of times it crashed when I tried doing a simple task.

So this is a predicament. Do I stop updating my OS? But then what about the security updates for the airport that I’m more or less responsible for in our house? Do I chance it?

How about apple just cop on to themselves and wait until they have enough updates to release a combo update instead of these dribs and drabs that they have become so fond of pending the release of Leopard. Tell you another thing, I definitely am not buying Leopard for at least 6 months after it’s release for fear of pulling all the hair from my head!!
