Troubleshoot kernel panics (Mac)

• Live Versions: All
• Operating System: Mac

Kernel panics are usually caused by external hardware connected to your Mac, or malformed network packets. It is rather unlikely that they are caused by Live itself.

• Make sure you have installed the most recent version of Live, which you can get at any time over your ableton.com account
• Verify that your Mac software is up to date by using the Mac software update
• Try running Live without any external devices like MIDI keyboards/controllers or audio interfaces connected, to see if the issue persists.
• If you are using any MIDI over network drivers on your Mac please try temporarily disabling them, following the respective reference manual.
