Mr. Banshee

So, i did the upgrade to 4.6 finally. Once i did this i

noticed that some of my patches were still loading 4.5 at

start up. Annoyed from being so drowsey and having screen

burn, i pulled the 4.5 icon into the trash and threw it

away. Then i proceeded to play with my patches, to test

out what 4.6 has to offer. To my surprise 80% of my help

files would not open, i would get a life preserver tube

" The selected URL is: file:///Applications/MaxMSP

but nothing would open. When i went to get info, i was not

able to select max, i even went and pulled the plist

(luckily the date modified was big help for my cranky

brain), yet no victory. Alot of my externals, despite

being in the right folder are not reading either (i was

enjoying the granola~ before thsi mayhem ensued).

i am very frustrated, searched the max forum, but couldn't

find out anything that worked for me. Any of my fellow

maxers can help me out before i through my computer out the

i know 99% of the time it is usually an human error, but

this experience (not my first upgrade), just reinforces my

theory that i should stay away from incremental updates.

Did you try (and find) the helpfiles and open them manually?

The folder organisation of 4.6 changed. Do you mean 80% of your own help 

files or those you created... (so many questions...)

Your files have been associated with Apple's Help Viewer app. You  
need to "Get Info" on one of these files, choose MaxMSP under "Open  
With", and then click on the "Change All..." button. Then you should  
be in good shape.
