Not sure if this is related to the fix provided earlier. Been using Lync 14.0.7 for a little bit now and never had issues with it crashing. Today suddenly during a conference call I had it crash twice during the same conference call. I get the popup from Lync that it crashed and it would be sending the information to Microsoft, sadly enough I can not find anything in Console on what it might have crashed on. Major change is that now I was using VPN and a Logitech USB headset recognized as Jabra Pro 930.

But earlier this week I was using the same combination without issues. Anyone know where it might have stored the crash log? Hi Everyone We have a few users reporting this very reproducible error. We are currently testing the following fix applied via the terminal cd /Applications/Microsoft Lync.app/Contents/Frameworks && ln -s USBHIDWrapper.framework USBHidWrapper.framework So far it seems to be ok - creating the Symbolic Link The Problem is because it looks like MS have failed to take in to account that the newer Mac OSes are case sensitive. I tried the Terminal fix, and saw the symbolic link in the right spot. But it didn't solve my 14.0.7 crashes.

I had been using 14.0.2 for quite a while. After Mavericks update, it started randomly (but frequently) crashing - mostly when sharing desktops. I updated to 14.0.6 (as that is the only version my IT dept.
