I have the current version of MAX/MSP and OSX and have

not been able to save my MIDI setup. I assign my

external hardware letters in MIDI setup and then save

it to the documents folder. It works for a couple of

days but then I notice that the assignments are no

longer in my patches and MIDI setup. I used the disc

utility as tech support suggested but it did not fix

the problem. I am at a loss. Does anyone know about

Sometimes Disk Utility doesn't quite do the job with permissions. For 

this, it is often more beneficial to run "fsck" at startup. For info on

You might also try deleting your preferences, which are located in 

Users/Username/Library/Preferences/Max 4 Preferences.

If that doesn't sort you out, send a message to support@cycling74.com
