problems with snow-leopard on an older macbook

[Bobsax]

There is a 5 to 10 second lag when starting the play-along with my black 2007 top of the line macbook running snow-leopard .
Also on occasion the tempo slider will get stuck and often after that I get a crash.

Any issues with Snow Leopard and the latest iRealb ?

Are you using any audio interface?
So far we haven't had any issues.

I have the macbook plugged into a little amp through the audio mini jack.

I noticed that the Times function was set on 333 instead of 33. I'm not sure how that happened.
Maybe this relates to the slow start spinning gear?
Does this function work with a mouse/slider like the tempo function or do you have to just hold the arrows?

I thought it might have to do with the fact that I was using my own exercise songs but I just tried using the slider on one of the original songs from the program and the song started but the window disappeared.
I have to force quit and restart.

This seems to happen if you press the space bar to play the song with the slider still visible.
If I click anywhere to make the slider disappear then it starts okay.

there was a bug (if I remember correctly) where you could have a huge number in the Times (chorus repeats) setting. The song could have been stored with that number; it will remember the last number you set it to, so once you have set it correctly it should remain there.
v2.8 is the current version and maximum repeats is 50.
It has to calculate what to play (as it is slightly random backing so not the same each time you press Play.) If it was set to a large number it would take a while before starting to play.

hold the mouse on the appropriate arrow

The slow start spinning wheel is definitely related to the Times counter.
The question is "how the numbers got so big"? 333 instead of 33. Many of my charts seem to have this. (I hadn't noticed because there is only room for 2 digits.)
I am using 2.8 and I think most of these charts were written with it.
Perhaps when pressing the arrow key a certain way it will add a digit or could it be from the editing process? Is there any way to set the Times Counter in the edit process?

I write charts on many devices also , so perhaps it happened in the transfer process.
