Mac seems to hate PP CS6
Hello everyone.
I am trying to get work out why I cant use Premier Pro CS6 successfully on my 8 Core Mac Pro – 2GB Quadro 4000 – 16Gig Ram.
I have tried reinstalling a few times but the program does not seem to be stable? (both system and program) I have tested with Open CL on and off – Both the same… Program inconsistently crashes and is unusable. AE and Media Encoder works great by the way.. its only Premier Pro.
There are no hardware faults and the ram is new and working perfectly.
Do other people seem to have the same issue?
On the other hand at home I have an X79 Intel 3820- 16gig ram – GTX 560 with a heap of plugins running CS6 and it works fine. I have only ever had it crash once…
Is this a mac only problem??
Should I think of moving the work computer over to PC? (hopefully stations will accept something similar to ProRes soon…)I have read through the Adobe forums and there are allot of inconsistent fault threads. I have tried all fixes to no avail…

I have the same systems (2 of them)
and have not had those issues on one of them.The other mac developed a faulty mainboard and had
to be replaced and now it has no issues.I ran tons of tests just like you, have you ran
the system test long and short that boots from
the other disc that comes with os x?The long test caused a reboot, the short test would
report and error.what version of os x are you running, you have
to have at least snow leopard 10.6.8 -
Hi,
Thanks for the responce 🙂
The mac has been in for the’long’ hardware tests in the past few weeks as the new ram was mostly faulty. 3 chips supplied had to be replaced. The tests came up clean every time even though the ram was faulty to begin with. The ram died days after.
I have experience the occasional CPU core crash / misfire but it is not a regular thing.
I am running 10.7 on the system.
It seems very random when the system crashes. I have been told to keep the sequence within the present settings but that does not seem to help. I mostly deal with ARRI Raw and Proress 422.

Folks on Mac experiencing problems found that updating to the latest CUDA drivers and the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion solved them.

I had heard that Mountain Lion was the way to go a few weeks ago and was having some issues. I still had them until the new Cuda drivers came out and it’s been doing pretty well. Another thing to try though is to turn Cuda off in the project settings and see if it runs any better.

I have 10.7 (up to date) and Cuda Drivers are up to date also.
Still no solution to this.. Also Using Premier pro seems to take ages to start playing clips off the timelines. eg 3 seconds..
As mentioned it seems an entirely different beast on PC than Mac. I have decided I will not be staying with Mac next upgrade round.
