Re: Sequoia 15.5??
How strange; my computer asked me to update to 15.4.1 this morning, and has not alerted me to 15.5.

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
Yeah... Bugs that I've reported to Apple already have not been fixed.
None of my bread 'n' butter apps show any change except a minor PowerPoint issue that is no longer present but the workaround was easy so there's no real change to my workflow.

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
I just did 14.7.6. Nothing to report. I'll wait and see when the updates run out.

I'm on 15.5 and seems pretty drama-free so far!

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
Since upgrading my older Ultralite Mk3 has started to crash the mac mini sporadically.
Its happened 3 times now and have raised an issue with Motu support but doubt I will get anywhere with them other than the usual, reinstall and try again.
Doesn't happen when Ableton is using it, it seems to occur when the machine goes to sleep or goes into a power down state.
Everytime I come back to the mac its restarted. Even if the hardware is not turned on. Seems the kExt is having issues with 15.5.
So if your running an older device I wouldn't upgrade right now.

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
No one is going to say that you aren't having a problem but, without more information, no one is going to know what that might be. My old 828mkII FW uses the same driver and if the kExt (whichever one that is) is causing the grief, I should be experiencing it, too.mb-3000 wrote: ↑Thu May 15, 2025 9:44 pm Since upgrading my older Ultralite Mk3 has started to crash the mac mini sporadically.

You should be using this driver found under Downloads for the UltraLite Mk3 Hybrid:

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
I just noticed that OS 15.5 is now available for me to download and install. I'm hesitant.
The RME Fireface is still hanging in there, but I have to quit TotalMix every time I boot up (every day). Who knows if 15.5 will make it worse. I feel confident that it WON'T make it any better.

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
For those of you who've updated to macOS 15.5—have you had any issues with Finale?

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
I had no trouble launching Finale 27.4.1.146 and opening a couple scores (one small and one big). Hit play and everything seemed to playback as expected. Seems fine.
Is there something specific I should test out?

I'm guessing nothing major on this one, so Finale is probably good.Rick Cornish

Re: Sequoia 15.5??
Updated to 15.5 today - didn't take as long as I'd thought. Add me to the "everything's fine nothing to see here" category.
