Trying To Install Ableton Live 10 But Mac Won't Update
- May 21, 2019 Ok! I figured out part of the cause of the 'This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform' message. The scrap 840 EVO Drive I was going to install High Sierra onto also has a separate High Sierra partition from my real Mac Pro. Can't install HS onto that disk, guessing because of an EFI check happening on that disk.
- Change web-browser (we recommend Chrome or Firefox), and login to your Ableton.com account; Re-download the latest setup file for your version of Live, from your account. Once downloaded, use 7-zip to extract the files to a safe, known location; Step 2: Update. Using Windows Update, make sure that all available updates are installed.

Will appreciate your help for sure! Ableton won’t accept my key. Oct 18, 2018 hmmm - yeah i been getting these crashes too, i been sending plenty crash reports to ableton over the last few months trying to figure it out, they've been pretty helpful but it's still happening. I been thinking it's due to either: 1. One of my own mfl devices i use to interact with my controllers. 2.something to do with my Jbridge 32 to 64 bit plugins 3.t-racks deluxe suite plugins, or 4. Download, Install, or Update the best Mac apps - MacUpdate.

Technical support
Need help with setting up or other technical issues?
Hoping someone has some advice. I'm getting the following message in a dialogue box, that causes the Ableton splash screen to hang after just trying to create the First opening live set:'A serious program error has occurred.
Live will shut down after this message box is closed.
Please restart live and follow the instructions in the report a crash lesson that will appear in Live's help view.'
After closing down the dialogue box and trying to start Ableton again, the same thing repeatedly happens.
