[QUOTE="wornish, post: 430366, member: 15434"] Just came across this thread coming back to life. A few thoughts in no particular order :- Nikon software on MAC is not that stable I only run Nikon Transfer and avoid everything else. I tried their latest View-NXi this week and it just fills up the memory and hangs the MAC with a spinning umbrella. So I deleted it. Lots of other MAC users have the same issue. Did you only start having these issues this recently - if so , what have you changed on your MAC? Did it start after the recent software security update that came out on 10th March ? Apple have issued a new patch today with another security update - which is very unusual they may have found a problem with the earlier one. They don't tell you when something like that happens. I know you have been trying quite few "Free" image processing apps over the recent weeks, these can mess with your operating system and cause problems as they are not "approved" by Apple but thats a long shot. I seem to remember you saying you have a lots of free disk space, OSX likes to have at least 5 - 10GB of disk space free so probably not an issue for you. If you can't track down the culprit then I strongly recommend backing up your pics and then do a fresh install. I know its a pain but it is worth it as a last resort. [/QUOTE]
