alice-teacher Random errors

[Taylor, Jennifer]

I don't know what is causing this but we are on macs running OS10.4 and we get unknown errors often.  I assumed it might be a low memory issue since I have a lot of programs loaded on the computers in my lab for other graphic design classes.  Every so often we get a program that will not reopen and we have to go to a backup copy.  I also find when I am grading projects I can open on my computer about 4 or so projects and play them, browse around methods and then I have to quit out of Alice and start again before I can open another project.  I would be interested in learning more and could copy the error windows and pass them on when it happens if that would help.

All--

My students have Alice on their personal macs (mostly new) and on the school macs (2009ish).  We get “unknown error” almost every time we use the Save command and randomly at other times while we are using Alice.  Even though there is an error message, the file saves.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Does anyone know what’s causing it?

Thanks for any help,
