EMERGENCY! HELP!! Lost basic objects: 'Unable to Load Bundle Executable'
Hi All,
I've been working on Max all day, fine, but as of about 10mins ago I can no longer create Number Boxes, Integers, Flonums etc. My Max 8 is imploding!
I am installing a project tomorrow and desperately need Max to work again.
Earlier this week I accidentally activated a licence on another computer (the one to be used in my installation). I only meant to authorise the demo. But Max on my computer has been fine until now. Could that have caused the collapse on my machine?
MAX Console reads:
flonum: unable to load object bundle executable
2019-09-22 20:18:02.640 Max[519:6968] Error loading /Applications/number.mxo/Contents/MacOS/number: dlopen(/Applications/number.mxo/Contents/MacOS/number, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/number.mxo/Contents/MacOS/number: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
/Applications/number.mxo/Contents/MacOS/number: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
My System:
MacBook Pro 2019, OS 10.14.6 (Mojave), 32G Ram,
Did you start Max maybe in 32-Bit mode?
I have no clear idea what might have happened... Did it start while working, or did you restart Max in between?
You could try deleting preference files, and/or reinstalling Max. (and of course backup your work before ;)
.
I was working in Max, fine, then it started being unable to create SOME objects. Even now I CAN create a new patch, load bang, cycle~. It seems that it may be just the objects that you can create using shortcuts: Message, Comments, float, integer etc.
Getting this in the console when I try to create those objects: 'Unable to load object bundle executable.'
How do I uninstall Max? Do I just delete it from my Applications folder? Also, when I first got the error I came here and installed the latest update. That hasn't fixed it.
Thanks for your help!
For a clean re install check this post: https://cycling74.com/forums/uninstalling-max-6
Thanks Jan. I'm gonna reinstall now. Will update here if successful/unsuccessful
EDIT1: I don't seem to have a Cycling74 folder in my Library... that could likely be the problem?
EDIT2: Found it in the other Library folder (urgh, sometimes I hate living in the future).
EDIT3: ... but it doesn't contain a Preferences folder??
Fingers crossed!!!!! Sorry for posting so short - i am on a deadline myself right now.
No worries, I appreciate the help! Good luck.
So I can't find Preferences in the Library>>Cycling74 folder. Should I delete the whole Cycling74 folder and download the latest Max8 installer?
All help appreciated.
Nick
it's inside the hidden folder Library of the macOs user account.
Open Finder
In top menu: Go->Go to Folder... and enter ~/Library
Inside the ~/Library folder look for "Application Support" and delete the Cycling '74 folder
Wasn't sure whether to go ahead and delete that whole folder... I'll do that now. Cheers Jan, you're a star!
It seems to be working again, but I don't feel 100% confident in it.
I reinstalled Max 8 and got errors but for different objects. I cleared Max off my system again and reinstalled a second time. This time I had to reauthorise it. On opening Max and creating a new patch I got the errors again, this time for text button. I opened an existing patch and since then it has been working.
This doesn't fill me with confidence but right now it's working ok and I can seemingly create all objects that I have tested.
Thanks for your help Jan!
