[Bret Williams] “Did you try a new user yet? That seems to accomplish the same thing as a clean install. I forget, did you update to Mavericks at 10.0.9 or just recently with 10.1?
“

Sorry Bret I have not had a chance, I got called into work today. I appreciate your help and tips though brother.

I did update to Mavericks and that seemed to go OK, then I updated to 10.1 after organizing my folders.

My snapshot projects seems to be still working fine now since I copied it to another drive.

I do like that snapshot feature BtW

[Jeremy Garchow] “That would mean Apple would have to issue white paper for every app it makes.
I think there is still onus on a user to tune their system.”

For something like App Nap which clearly can affect higher end programs with rendering/ long Saves/Exports, something should be mentioned somewhere. There could at least there could be a one-time nag screen that pops up the first time you launch FCPX (and even Compressor and Motion) suggesting you turn off the “App Nap”. Imagine all the less sophisticated first time users with a new computer and constant beach balls thinking that this Apple editing program is really slow and sucks. This couldn’t be done for any apps that Apple doesn’t make like the CC Suite, but it would be nice for their own programs.

[Jeremy Garchow] “App Nap does not have it’s own control panel, however, so that one has to be learned the hard way. I happened to learn just be reading from other people’s experiences with it.”

Maybe it should have a control panel so that it could be globally turned off if desired by a user trying to tune their system. I learned about App Nap like you did. But, I gave up years ago being an early adopter, so I’m taking notes now and hopefully when I get to upgrade time, it won’t be too bad.
