Proapps not working properly SSD

[David Roth weiss]

Did you run Software Update on both the OS and FCS over and over until they both report that they are up to date?

Did you run Fix Permissions?

Please keep your posts to one, its confusing enough to try and keep track. 😉

Your other post is confusing. You now have an ssd and an hdd in your iMac?

[Thomas Morter-laing]

Done all software updates, ran permissions repair, reset PRAM, reinstalled Proapps, reinstalled OS over the top, next step is to wipe everything and start again I guess….
And yes I have an SSD and an HDD, sOrry for any confusion 🙂

And You have different pieces/parts installed across the two drives? Why not consolidate?

[Thomas Morter-laing]

The SSD is the system drive, but is only 60gb so
Doesn’t have enough space for all the content. I cannot install FCS onto the other drive because it won’t let me. Any suggestions?

I have no idea why you are trying to do this, but you can install the applications of fcs on the ssd (or wherever your system is), and install the content wherever you want.

Thomas,
If you have a spare firewire drive laying, around copy the SSD to it, disconnect the SSD, boot from the the firewire drive and see if the problem persists. I have seen some vague references on the web about some SSD giving less than desirable performance. If the problem follows to the Firewire drive, I would reconnect the SSD and do a total install from the OS up to ferret out any file that may have been corrupted. If the problem does not show up on the firewire drive, I would suspect a bad SSD, but I know so little about them, I wouldn’t know what to say at that point.

Jeremy,
Thomas is trying to use his latest generation iMac, as a great little editing machine. The newest machines have the connections for a SSD and a standard internal esata hard drive. This allows an editor to load the OS and Apps on the SSD and then have a huge 2 or 3TB internal drive just for media! This also allows for the use of a AJA iohd off the firewire port. It is a great concept I hope Thomas gets it working.

Jeremy, thanks for your input, but perhaps there has been some confusion: I have done a regular install of FCS on the SSS where the system is, and I have actually not installed the xtrancontent this time because I initially thought that may be the issue. However the problem persists, the applications do not want to open quickly at all. The reason I want to do this is because I want to have the applications open fast and the startup to be fast, but can’t have loads of stuff on the startup disk is all, but thas besides the point 🙂

Cool so after hours of fiddling and a lot of anger now, Ive figured it all works fine when I install it as mentioned above, UNTIL i do the proapps update. Any ideas anyone? Ive now reinstalled the entire OS twice still to no avail. Whats causing it to hang like that?

It must be your SSD drive. Perhaps there’s a firmware update for it or something.

Why not just put another regular HDD in there? Way cheaper and it will work.

Also, you did this yourself? You didn’t buy it this way?

This seems like a lot of work to shave a few seconds off of startup time
and app launching.

Just saying, interesting idea, but seems like a bit much.

Buying a refurb macpro might be a better way to go.
