Yeah, I thought that might be the case as well but even inputing only the partial name yielded no results.stubbsonic wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 8:53 pm It's possible you're typing too much and getting a character wrong.
Try typing just part of that file name. Find any file will give you all the results matching your string, even if incomplete.
I used EasyFind for that reason. I've had the Finder search fail to find a file that is visible and sitting on the desktop, or even in the window I'm doing the search from, even if I cut and paste the file name from the Finder to the search window.stubbsonic wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 10:22 am Just to mention this for future readers, in Finder, visibility & system weren't in the search menus by default. I chose "Other..." then did a search for both "visibility" and later "System". When the search result came up, there's a check box on the right for "In Menu". Checking that made added it to the main list of options.
Using that, I tried to search .kext, invisible and system, and got no results in Finder.
I went to Find any File and searched .kext and got 483 results.

Yes, type part, make sure that system and invisible files can be displayed. You may have to disable SIP to view and remove.stubbsonic wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 8:53 pm It's possible you're typing too much and getting a character wrong.

Turning Off Rootless System Integrity Protection in OS X El Capitan 10.11 +
1 Reboot the Mac and hold down Command + R keys simultaneously after you hear the startup chime, this will boot OS X into Recovery Mode
2 When the “OS X Utilities” screen appears, pull down the ‘Utilities’ menu at the top of the screen instead, and choose “Terminal”
3 Type the following command into the terminal then hit return:
4 csrutil disable; reboot
5 You’ll see a message saying that System Integrity Protection has been disabled and the Mac needs to restart for changes to take effect, and the Mac will then reboot itself automatically, just let it boot up as normal
You can also issue the command by itself without the automatic reboot like so:
csrutil disable
How to Re-Enable Rootless System Integrity Protection in OS X
Simply reboot the Mac again into Recovery Mode as directed above, but at the command line use the following syntax instead:
csrutil enable
Just as before, a reboot of the Mac is required for changes to take effect.
Although it hasn't happened to me recently, I, too, suspect that Auto-Save may be a cause of crashes. It seems that, if one happens to take an action within DP at the exact moment the Auto Save is initiated, trouble can result.Kurt Cowling wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 9:04 am I know you guys are waist deep in stuff that I don’t understand but, I was having lots of random (no discernible pattern) hangs. On a hunch I disabled auto-save in DP prefs and have had very few issues since then. Just a thought...
Kwiz, so sorry you are gonna' have to start from scratch. Once you get it put back together, may I suggest you do what I have taken to doing: clone the working boot drive periodically and keep the clone as a backup. I started doing this after I encountered an issue with a low-level MOTU driver that required me to build a new boot drive from scratch to get my 828ES working properly. Now, whenever I add more than a couple of plug-ins or VIs to my system, I re-clone the boot drive to a spare SSD using SuperDuper. I may never need it, but if I do, I'll be very thankful to have it.
I have it enabled and rarely notice it is happening. Is it possible the drive you save to has gone into some sort of sleep mode, and it's taking time for the save process to wake it up?Kurt Cowling wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 9:04 am I know you guys are waist deep in stuff that I don’t understand but, I was having lots of random (no discernible pattern) hangs.

Thanks HC that's great advice, and I'll be sure to do that!HCMarkus wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 9:21 amAlthough it hasn't happened to me recently, I, too, suspect that Auto-Save may be a cause of crashes.

But I still have it enabled, as it has saved my tucas too many times.

Good luck!
I just did a fresh install and Native Access definitely gave me the option to "Locate" the libraries, so I did NOT have to download them. Hopefully you catch this before you've gotten in too deep.
