Re: CS5.5 Mac - Spinning Beachballs

I'm running a Mac Pro 5,1 2.8GHz Xeon. I've had some stability issues but nothing like what you are talking about with the beach ball hang. I do get occasional hangs but I just do the same thing I did in Windows; close Premiere and re-launch Premiere. If I get another problem I close and reboot the system. This usually keeps me working with minimal downtime. Of course, it goes without saying, that my normal practice of quickly tapping command+S just before I do a render of any kind is a good practice to get into. Hope this helps!
