Things that are broken in Mountain Lion

[Shane Ross]

Livetype was discontinued before LION…integrated into Motion. So yeah, they aren’t keeping that app in mind when they make new OS’s

AGAIN…if you have a good, working system, why update? I only update when I am forced to. I mean, I just got LION up and running for Avid MC6…in May.

I always clone my system drive and update that, then give it a few weeks to see if all is well.

So far so good with ML

It wasnt integrated into Motion. When Motion came out, it included the libraries from LiveType. But you can’t open a LiveType project with Motion, and there are features in LiveType, like extruded fonts that aren’t in Motion.

Anyone that upgrades a perfect working system to a first version of a new os is always asking for troubles.

I agree LiveType 2.1 refuses to load on my iMac, but I checked Soundtrack 1.5 and it loaded! I posted a note on Apple Discussions in the Mountain Lion group to see if anyone has any insight into a solution:

I don’t remember the specifics, but somewhere I read that ML gets rid of some more of the 32-bit legacy library files. LT probably needed these.

I suspect this was a result of the new ProKit 7.3 in Mountain Lion even though it didn’t break Soundtrack 1.5. Final Cut Express HD 3.5 still works too by the way. I don’t use these any longer but always nice to have them working in case I wanted to revisit old material.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and have no problems opening LiveType. I just revised a spot in which I used LiveType’s glow effects on text and it opened fine.

Very interesting. What machine is running you Mountain Lion?

Since I knew it worked for you, I tried to open it again today but did not elect to reopen the (unopened) window that was saved when I force quit it yesterday. Surprisingly, it came up fine with new windows today. So it must have been a glitch that has affected me and some other people on the first attempt at opening the application but after a shutdown I suppose it corrected itself.
