\"Operating system held off...\" error
I'm having the most annoying problem: While recording, mixing and bouncing sessions, my mac stops processing abrubtly with the error message "Operating system held off, interupts for too long, increase H/W Buffer size..."
Well I've increased it to 99% and it still happens all the time (with only a few tracks and minimal signal processing). I'm running 10.3.5 on an OSX, G4. CPU spped is 1.25 GHz, still have over 40 gigs of memory... from what I understand I shouldn't be having the errors with such minimal sessions. Anybody got any tips or suggestions? Thanks. Ryan |

Re: \"Operating system held off...\" error
Sounds like you have plenty of cpu power. Remember to turn off any browsers, programs like spyware or anti-virus and airport if you have it. I've only had that happen a couple times and it was when i had airport running on accident. Good luck.

Also, what do you mean you increased the H/W Buffer to "99%"? I don't think that's an applicable setting. Leigh |

Re: \"Operating system held off...\" error
Are you getting error 6086, 6093, or 6085?
I have been haunted by 6086 for 2 months now, at times making my setup completely unusable. Have tried about everything under the sun, thought it might be the RAM, and it was fine for 5 days after reseating the RAM, but then came back I am going to do a clean re-install this week (yes, it has come to that) and i'll let you know if anything changes. search for error 6086 and you'll find a thread a few weeks back |

Re: \"Operating system held off...\" error
I got lots of advice on this thread:
"Whoa - EMERGENCY in Pro situation...." 2 days ago (How do you paste links to threads anyway?)
