[Finale] Mac Finale 2009b crashes on launch
Hello all, I just updated Finale 2009 to 2009b on my Powerbook (I haven't used Finale on the Powerbook for several months). Now Finale crashes on launch: I see the splash screen, I see all the mesages that tell me stuff is loading, the spash screen disappears and then Finale quits. I've already tried trashing the Finale Preferences file and the plist file. Here's what the console says: sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file Finale 2009(194,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=3893411840) failed (error code=3) Finale 2009(194,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region Finale 2009(194,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug This is on a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11 Do any Mac wizards on the list have any ideas?

Re: [Finale] Mac Finale 2009b crashes on launch
Michael, I've had that problem occasionally. What works best for me on iMac G4 Deal, System 10.4 is to put the Finale Preferences file in the Finale Folder that contains the application and to make sure that it (or a copy) does no reside in any other location. I've done this because I still have Finale 2008 and use it from time to time. I keep 2008's preference file in with the 2008 application as well so that there's no confusion for the computer. Good luck. Hal Hello all, I just updated Finale 2009 to 2009b on my Powerbook (I haven't used Finale on the Powerbook for several months).

My crash on start was with F2008. Never did get it to work. I had thought that it was due to a conflict with MOTU PCI drivers, but another person on the list recently reported similar problems without any of those in the system, so it's something else. I don't remember them reporting a fix. Is your audio being routed through any non CORE drivers? Let us know what you come up with.

And - one further suggestion: since the preference file is often either a culprit, or becomes corrupted in Finale crashes, make a copy or two of this file so that you needn't reconstruct your preferences when a preference file related crash happens. I have not had this problem on my G5 Power PC since migrating to 2009. MM says that resizing the tool pallet causes crashes (it's a cumulative process - doesn't happen right away) so I have learned to live with the pallet in its default configuration, and that has cured the problem here.

Re: [Finale] Mac Finale 2009b crashes on launch
I realised that I have already experienced this problem and that I in fact know the solution! It happens when I try to use Finale in a non- administrator account. The solution: log in as administrator and change the permissions of the Finale application folder (and everything inside it) to read and write for everybody. Finale 2009b now works fine and I have even restored the preferences file that I had put in the trash. So in this case it's not a corrupt file: it's the Finale installer that has set the permissions incorrectly for use by a non- administrator account.
