The first time it happened to me was in DP 8 and the OS 10.9.1 update. I had to reinstall three times ... Then it worked. I just couldn't think of anything else to do.yamguitar wrote:Hey, mikehalloran, I tried your suggestion... I ran Console while firing up DP, and guess what was causing the crash?... That Mackie plugin, just as you said. I reinstalled, repaired permissions and rebooted, and as before, the first startup of DP worked fine, but then it crashed again on every subsequent startup. Any suggestions on what to do with that plugin? Tried removing it... didn't seem to fix the problem. Thoughts?
My symptom was same as yours -- crashing on startup.
What are your security settings? Try changing to Allow apps from anywhere in System Preferences/Security. This is a temporary setting and will revert to default after 30 days.
