  • Media 100i locks up when left alone for awhile

    Posted by Jerome Robbins on September 30, 2005 at 5:55 pm

    Media 100i XR 8.2.2, Mac OS 10.3.9, G-4 144 Dual. sony DSR 30

    When I leave a program sit opened for awhile without doing anything,
    when I do start to work again the rainbow ball spins and then I get the
    message “could not complete your request because the Media 100i system
    is locked up. Please save all documents and quit”. I close out and get
    the message “unable to switch to selected deck”
    I then open the project again and start over. But if I leave a program
    sit for long without doing something in it I have to close out and
    re-open it.

    Any ideas as to what is going on and how to stop this inconvenience??
    Thanks,
    Jerome

    One thing I’d try is making sure ‘put hard drives(s) to sleep when possible’
    is NOT activated in energy saver in your system preferences.

    A long shot only I’m afaid.

    regards
