Do Mac's have crash logs and/or any system logs you can check??

i believe so!
seriously though, I was having some issues with live crashing, and during quite a few lives, I got the unfortunate nickname of 'Mr Stop' 
its definitely possible and sucks. so I started tweaking my system. the first step was to unload as much bus-powered stuff to proper adaptors. still had a few crashes
next step, looked at my plugins. buying a legit copy of Stylus brought more stability, but still an occasional crash
in the end I found it was a PCI-USB card that I used for the remote SL. changing that to a simple USB breakout bus seemed to solve it, ironically, since I thought having a dedicated USB would be stabler
so it can be a number of things, and how Live interacts with the OS, and how the OS interacts with the hardware. any number of things can cause a panic...
i also contacted both Ableton and Spectrasonics support and gave them all the crash reports logs etc, but they didnt really have an answer for it... so not always the experts know either.
try to remember what happened when it crashed, what you touched did, etc and go from there. then take some of the steps I did and see if that helps
i was always under the impression that running bus-powered stuff was convenient and the way to to, but running a 'hot' bus can destabilize the system so better to use adaptors wherever possible
peace!

I could be wrong, as I'm no Mac expert (not even a mac user), but I've heard of a few known issues with drives on mac laptops over the years from friends: like the OS not handling bad sectors gracefully in certain circumstances, to vibrations kicking off a 'drive head lock' safety feature. There's always your normal run of the mill bad drive stuff.
On a windows machine I would fire up some diagnostic/system monitoring software & look at things like disk & file I/O. Anything like that available for Mac?
Sporadic problems that you can't reproduce with any consistency are always a pain in butt to troubleshoot. I always take extensive notes with scenarios like that.
