OS X 10.9 HOW TO
OS X 10.9 INSTALL
OS X 10.9 UPDATE
OS X 10.9 DRIVER

I know this because, when I reinstall, all my recent files and other settings are still there in the new install.

There are files that Reaper creates, like preferences and such, that do not delete when I uninstall. How are you doing any 'work' without an interface? This isn't making any sense. Only you know what you created and where you put them. I would think the only files left on your computer after an uninstall would be any files you created in Reaper. Also running the 32-bit version as needed to host plug-ins. I have reinstalled earlier versions one or twice after developing problems, soon fixed. I suggest you seek instructions from Apple tech desk, FAQs, or try to learn more about accessing the hidden Library and safely modifying its Application Support and Preferences folders.ĮDIT: btw, I'm using OS10.9.5 and have used Reaper 4.6 through to the current version, no major problems. I understand Prefs files are rebuilt automatically when the program runs again or is installed again.īut the new OS discourages us from tinkering, probably for good reason. Older Mac OS's had the Prefs folder visible and trashing preference files was the common users default solution to Application/System misbehaviour. I have sometimes had to move, add or remove files in an application's folders in the Library (eg Components), or trash the app's Prefs file - eg Cubase's - to get apps running again after developing problems that reinstallation alone did not fix.

OS X 10.9 INSTALL

So, what are the file names of the files left on my computer after I uninstall Reaper? I can't geta fresh install if those files are present so I need to delete them.

OS X 10.9 DRIVER

Your interface may need a new driver to work with the new Mavericks. Ask 'How,' also.īut before you try to reload the OS, check with your interface's manufacturer. Call Apple, or wherever you bought the Air, and ask. When I purchased my MacBook Pro, and 6 months earlier when I purchased an MBP for my wife, I was told that Apple put the OSX on an EPROM in the computer for a quick reload of the OS. Go through your REAPER preferences one setting at a time. The problem could be a setting in REAPER, or in your Mac, or an interface driver issue. You are making a mountain out of a molehill.Īnd you may not need to reload your OSX. (Although I might have that wrong.)And the OSX to reload is FREE! There is no cost. AFAIK Mac doesn't work like a PC where loading the OS destroys everything.

OS X 10.9 HOW TO

If you want to reload your OS, go over to Apple, or Google how to reload OSX. You can Google the 'how to.' Maybe calmness comes with age. Money and the problem are a total non sequitur. Well, us 'little' folks who don't have the opportunity or money or know-how for clean installs (I wouldn't even know how to do a clean install on this Air and I sure as heck ain't wiping it clean on the off chance that it'll go smoothly and I won't lose everything) and new machines (someone want to give me $1300?) have to go with what's available.Ī minute ago it was $1000, now suddenly it is $1300. The ~/Library/Application Support/Reaper folder does not exist. The only other hiccup is (I think) a built-in security thing - if I type a password fast, it rejects. Even the free Audacity is running smooth. Reaper is the problem because it is the only program that is acting up.

I installed Mavericks from Apple, so update/upgrade/whatever, that's how I did it. If so, de-install and then re-install that driver.Ĭheck your audiosettings in Reaper (buffer etc.) What audio interface are you running with Reaper ?Īre you sure it has a dedicated 10.9 driver ? Run Onyx, this is a free OSX maintenance utility which can work wonders, in my experience.

OS X 10.9 UPDATE

I suppose you didn't do a CLEAN install of 10.9 but an UPDATE ?! Renaming your ~/Library/Application Support/Reaper folder to something else and starting the app from scratch? If some part of your files and/or settings got screwed up during the upgrade this might help fix it. The one running on an Apollo Twin audio interface, the other on RME HDSPe audio interface.īut what you certainly should try is this, as already stated:

Running 10.9.5 on 2 macs, both running Reaper latest version - 64bit, with totally NO issues.
