Mac Pro Killed My Pro Tools Options

[piringer]

Hey,

I reinstalled the Mac. I updated the Mac OS X 10.4.8 with the 10.4.9 combo update. I installed the ProTools LE 7.0 and updated it to 7.1
Still not working!!

I checked as I could around here (in the French forums), it seems there's issues on the way people do the update to 10.4.9. A "combo" update (the combo updater is available at Apple download) should make things go back to normal. Now I can't be definite on the PT version, but 7.1 and up are ok seemingly. there's some blur on the edges here.

Can someone confirm?

Before making the update, check your drive and permissions with the Apple disk utility, apply the combo, recheck the permissions. It smooths out any issue in this direction.

10.4.8 is the recommended OS for ProTools at the moment. You may need to wipe / reinstall your Mac to get it back to this version. You can still get an Intel Combo update for this from Apple:

As you have ProTools 7.1 you should update to ProTools M-Powered 7.1.1 for Intel based Macs:

Hopefully this will sort you out.

ProTools 7.3 would obviously be better still, but those Digidesign misers made this a paid update so at the very least you should check that your Mbox is working before forking out the cash.

We have users under 10.4.9 and it works fine

I just checked the compato page at Digidesign and it's 7.1.1 for PT LE at least for Intel macs.

I'm checking with users under 10.4.9 right now and I get back to you. I know the 7.3 something works but I'm not adamant on the LE and intel side so time to double check.

[edit] both 7.1.1+ and 7.3+ should be ok.

Works in this configs:

- Macbokk pro, 10.4.9, PT 7.1.1 cs2, DV Toolkit 2 (10.4.9 auto update)
- macbook core2duo, 10.4.9, PT 7.3.1cs2.
- MacBook 2G Core2Duo 10.4.9, PT LE 7.3.1cs2

So I think you're likely to be fine once upped to 7.1.1 at least.
