hey guys, so i ran an application scratch live for my djing purposes and never had any dropouts with my macbook until i updated to mac os x maverick... every now and then i get a dropout, is there something running in the background now that i don't know about that's causing these dropouts in my dj program? what would be the fix for my issue like this? never had any previous problems before..

have late 2008 november macbook

4gb ram

500 gb hard drive with 143 gb hard drive space

Whatever the DJ program is, have you checked with the developers to make sure it is Mavericks compatable or if there is an update? Do you have any third party cleaning, anti-virus or security programs installed? Any recent installs of other software?

Cheers

Some people have had problems due to incompatible 3rd party software with Mavericks OSX. Did you run a clean install, or an upgrade? Check your 3rd party software compatibility with Roaring Apps.

Running the latest version of Scratch Live, 2.5.0? Serato isn't officially supporting 10.9 yet according to their web site, but if you're not on versin 2.5, you might upgrade and see if that helps.

You should pay more attention to the manufacturer, it is neither supported or recommended, especially NOT recommended for use in performance.

We don't anticipate any issues with Serato software and OS X 10.9, but we won't be able to officially support it until we can complete full and proper testing. As we haven't been able to start this testing until the full public version was released, official support will not be immediate. We are unable to give a timeframe for official support at this time.

We are happy for users to test our software on OS X 10.9, but suggest it not be used in performance situations until we are certain of its reliability. If you do experience issues with Serato software when using OS X 10.9 Mavericks, please open a help request to report all the details.

I'd stop using it, your clients deserve more than a dj with an unreliable rig, don't they?

Restore the backup you made before deciding to replace your operating system with one that is not supported or recommended for use with Mavericks.

If you did not make a backup (bad choice) erase everything and reinstall.

Use the backup you made before you installed Mavericks. Then

OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version

Good Luck

Do you have a Time Machine? How do you back up your data?

You make regular backups of your system, right? Using Time Machine or a program such as CCC to make a bootable clone? Please tell me you at least made a Time Machine backup. That is the way you protect all your vital data.

However you chose to make your backup will dictate how you restore your backup.

Did you make a backup?
