Hello all, I hope this question hasn't been answered before...
Basically, I am on an iMac G5 1.8 GHz with 512 mbs, and every time I use SL after a random point in time the software simply freezes and remains completely unresponsive forcing me to Force Quit the application.
I have emailed support about this problem but the advice I was offered has had no effect and I am not waiting for further assistance from them... (which is slow in coming).
Have any other Mac users had this problem and if so does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Have you contacted Support with this problem? And if so have they given you any other advice apart from uninstall/reinstall and clear cache?

I'm also having this. Quite often it'll freeze for 5-10 seconds, and then come back to life and be just fine. Occasionally, it doesn't come back to life and I have to Force Quit.
So you aren't alone - but I can't move the discussion any further because I haven't contacted support, and don't have an answer :-/

From: Efrin Peel ...and every time I use SL after a random point in time the software simply freezes and remains completely unresponsive forcing me to Force Quit the application. What happens if you give it 10 or 15 seconds? Mine freezes a lot, but it always comes back. |

More Memory....

Try adding more memory.... preferably alot more. Say, upwards to 2GB. Also, what is the power supply wattage on the iMac 1.8? I think it is 450 watts. If so, that should be OK.
Adding extra memory should help.

I have contacted support, but their only advice was to uninstall and clear cache.
Which hasn't helped.
Adding more memory seems like a extreme solution to be honest seeing as according to SL's System Requirements I already have enough memory to run the software.

It's been doing this for months. I think 1.9.x was the last version to not do this.
I have found however that booting from a clean install of 10.4 with nothing else installed will make the problem go away. Clearly it's conflict with something.
Someone could probably figure this out but I just quit playing SecondLife as much. And since LL can't keep their database in their pants, I'm playing even less now.

This problem's been rampant to a greater-or-lesser extent since 1.10, yet another significant Mac client bug left ignored in our legacy of attrition.
Maybe more RAM will help; I haven't bumped up beyond 1 gig yet. If I do, and it goes away, I'll post here to let everyone know. Assuming we still have a Mac Discussion forum.
