Crashes on Intel Macs

Unfortunately, some of you Intel Mac users have experienced crashes of beaTunes. This is caused by a bug in Apple's implementation of the Java server VM. Here's how you switch to the client VM, which does not seem to have this bug:

• Ctrl-click on the application icon
• Select "Show package contents"
• Open the Contents Folder
• Open the file Info.plist with some text editor (e.g. TextEdit)
• Close to the end of the file you will find a line that has "server" in it
• Replace "server" with "client"
• Save the file
• Restart beaTunes

We will make the client VM the default VM in the next update release to avoid this issue altogether. In the mean time, if you are a member of the ADC, please feel free to file bug reports with Apple. The Java crash logs can be found in ~/Library/Logs/Java.
