Does anyone know if it's possible to have both MaxMSP version 4.5 & 4.6

I understand that the Cycling '74 folder has been moved from Application

Support to the application folder, , so that isn't an issue. But are

there any other things that could cause any trouble, like the

MaxAPI.framework or the MaxAudioAPI.framework for example?

As you can see below it was impossible for me to have both versions working together although the 4.6. ReadMe-file says that both versions can exist parallel.

Sounds like you have some version incompatibility issues. The best way to combat this is a clean install of MaxMSP.

To clean out MaxMSP 4.6.x entirely, remove these items:

~/Library/Preferences/Max 4.6 Preferences

../Library/Frameworks/MaxAudioAPI.framework

../Library/Frameworks/JitterAPI.framework

../Library/CFMSupport/MaxCFMAdaptor and MaxAudioCFMAdaptor

To do a complete uninstall of MaxMSP 4.5:

../Library/Application Support/Cycling '74

../Library/CFMSupport/JSRefThreadsafe.shlb

../Library/CFMSupport/MaxAudioPlugLibCarbon.shlb

../Library/CFMSupport/MaxPlugLibCarbon.shlb

~/Library/Preferences/Max 4 Preferences Folder

Once you've deleted all of that, reinstall MaxMSP using the most recent installer.

 I've just installed MaxMsp 4.6.2,
when I try to open an old patch I get the error message:

 error:can't fragload adc~(missing  
sys_getch>),  err -2807

When I replace the adc-object with a new one and try to save the  
patch Max crashes.
The whole Audio seems not to work, is this a known problem or am I  
the only one?

Indeedy - I had problems with MaxAudioAPI.framework and had to move  
it out of the way. (Having done that, 4.5 still launches happily, so  
I'm not sure I understand what the framework is for.)

I still have some problems with objects in 4.6 - "standalone" doesn't  
work for me at all.

I'd do what Andrew said. I threw out 4.5.7 - did a clean install of 4.6.2,

deleted the files he mentioned and suddenly everything was stable again. I

actually wound up re-installing 4.5.7 again, and both versions are
