Is your MBP your everyday computer as well?

Remind me not to share a trackpad with you

I use my MBP for everything. As long as you restart it before a gig, you shouldn't have any problems.

I restart mine and disable a lot of the things I have running in the background all the time like Dropbox, Evernote, Plex, PDANet, etc.

Ideally the only things I'll have running are Traktor and Caffeine. Never have had a single issue this way.

Sorry to intervene gentlemen - anybody going to expound on the necessity to
reboot your machine before a gig?
- is this only if it has been used just before you gig (i.e. to empty the cache)?
- if I switch my machine on (from shutdown) at set-up is that considered a reboot?
- is this a Mac prerequisite, or does it apply to PC as well?

(after the advertising break - we will return to porn)

I'm lucky enough to have a MacBook issued for work so my own MacBook is for dj'ing only, which I've just popped an SSD in and waiting for my optibay now

Applies to every machine, just as a fresh start if you tend to sleep your computer. If you are turning it on there is no need for it.

wouldn't a simple log off log in work?

use it for everything but gaming, so i second paddys 18 hours. reboot every 3-4 weeks .

when you say reboot, what exactly do you mean by this?

[paulmac]

if you wanna clean cache's and stuff get a program called "clean my mac"[/QUOTE]
