The update made it less worse 4 me!
But the laggs and glitches are still there!
I have a new MBpro with 2,4 ghz and 4g ram.
I don't think it's normal that maya needs to load now and then, for selecting another tool.
I am still waiting for a "better" fix
Btw: Toxik works fine on my MBpro, No crashes!

On toxik crash problem, I checked and the permissions on the media cache are identical to my Leopard installation which works. I saw other posts on this, also ones relating to the toxik.ini file. Both look fine. I get a crash dump so I will send it in to support for someone to look at.

Scott: Yes, it runs fine on SL now!

I’ll post a new entry regarding how Maya behaviors on 10.6.2
Regarding the Toxik problem
Can you please go to var/temp/
and check the permission on the media cache ..I wonder if the new OS changed the permission access

Great for Maya which is my most important need but on my new MBP it looks like 10.6.2 broke Toxik. Toxik was working before the upgrade. Now it crashes every time I try to open it. Can't say I was a big user of it as I've always used Shake before. Shake still works so I'll just keep using it until Maya 2013 or 2014 gets around to fixing things.

What about Maya 2010? Does that run fine on SL now?
Posted by: Scott | 10/11/2009 at 05:20 PM
thanks God! Yesterday's 10.6.2 system update fixed all the shitty glitches in Maya viewport!
Maya 2009 on both MBP unibody with 9600M and Mac Pro with 8800GT works perfect now
Spread the word :D

Christian, are you sure? Have you heard anything official from Autodesk confirming this?
Posted by: Scott | 10/11/2009 at 04:03 AM
OS X 10.6.2 is up... Now Maya works on Snow Leopard!
So far:
No shader issues
No Graph Editor issues
No Gizmo issues
Thank god - and thank Apple, but then again it was an driver update that fixed the initial problems - so blame it on Apple :)

This is outrageous!! How Long does Autodesk intend to keep it's customers wait for a fix??
Posted by: Tom | 08/11/2009 at 06:30 PM
To the previous comment above...Because I went back to Mac from a certain Redmond disaster, that if I had a dollar for every hour I wasted on rebuilding, fixing, rebooting, performance sucking antivirus which is a necessity, rebooting, we don't need to fix it we are Microsoft, rebooting, blue screen, rebooting, .... you get the picture... I could retire. So basically, from my point of view ... we are all hosed. AD blames Apple. Apple blames AD. Win 7 is not approved so that is not a solution. I HAD to get a new MacBook as older machine died so now there are no options. Nothing works right and there are no clear solutions but I feel so happy because I get to pay $825/year for this privilege. I'm thinking of using this as my new business model. I'm sure I'll win lots of customers with this.

In semi-related news. . .

If Mac owners continue to abandon everyone that has "forsaken" them (Autodesk, Adobe, and that's just starting with "A") there will be nowhere to turn to. I find so many frustrated Mac owners that are angry at everyone except Apple. Why cling to something that apparently causes so much pain?

Language, please!!!!!!
Maya is not yet qualified to run under Snow Leopard.
As you can see there are some display issues with the current version of Snow Leopard.
As soon as there is an ETA for a fix, or any news relating to the qualification of Maya on OS 10.6.x, you will read it on this blog.

Yes, Maya2010 works on Snow Leopard. I've been testing version 2010 for nearly a month on snow leopard. But I have a really wired issue which happens on MBP(2.4G/15"). It shows the same colour, not the R.G.B for X,Y,Z on object's pivot.
Please see the following image:

what is [edited by Owen Burgess] going on with maya....!!!!
Posted by: zhimama | 31/10/2009 at 12:50 PM
Maya 2010 on OS X 10.6.1, 2008 MacPro (8 core, 10gb) - in addition to the residual items from Maya 2009, this is what I'm getting:
1. sporadically force quits quite often (8-15 times daily, usually in clusters)
2. the cloth module doesn't load at all (nCloth = no cloth), trying to manually load it through plug in manager does nothing
3. redraw errors are horrible in the viewport, dragging a selection makes a flickering warp trail
Misery! Help!

will they release patches for earleir versions of Maya (2009)? Seeing how it is still 2009.

re: Hey, I'm a student learning Maya.. I'm using the demo 2010 on my mac book pro with snow leopard, whenever i select anything! be it click on a view window or a polygon it has to load for 2 seconds before i can change it.. and even then it waits another two seconds after selecting vertex's or whatever.. is there a simple fix to this?.. like viewing in a lower res?.. its a right pain!! thanks..
skype me if you can!: lukewakeford

I'm finished with Maya. Screw it. I'm tired of waiting around like some abused girlfriend waiting for the phone to ring.
I'm going to migrate to another 3D software package. Obviously Autodesk has zero interest in it's Mac user base... and as a member of said user base I now have zero interest in Autodesk.
Posted by: Jim Haskall | 26/10/2009 at 03:30 PM
Can someone from Autodesk give an ETA for the fix? The info would really be appreciated..
thanks

no words for that!
Posted by: Mikoa | 23/10/2009 at 09:20 AM
So, it's been 2 months since Snow Leopards RETAIL release.
any words?
Posted by: James Blunt | 23/10/2009 at 07:47 AM
I'm loosing my patience. How much longer do you need?
I cannot run Maya on any current operating system. Maya 2010 has been not been qualified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, has not been qualified for Fedora 11, has not been qualified for Windows 7 and has not been qualified for Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
That is not acceptable. Do I have to call Carl?

Any updates on Maya working on SL... Do you all suggest bootcamp to use Maya or mac ?
Posted by: Madeeha merchant | 22/10/2009 at 07:38 PM
"Just download Maya 2009 SP1 and installed it on Snow Leopard."
Oh, is that all I should do?
Great solution jarjar - maybe you should stick to what you are best at - ruining the Star Wars franchise.
