Crashing on startup with 10.14.5
 

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. . . Been using PT for over a decade on various machines, versions, and OS's.

Installed 2019.5 on a 2019 MBPro running 10.14.5 today, cloud authorized via iLok, and I can't even get to the initial Avid screen.

Only 3rd party plug-ins are FF's Pro Q3, Xfer's Serum, and Output's Arcade.

Trashed all prefs (not that I had even created any) via PT Prefs. Re-started.

Same... icon bounces for a couple seconds and then "Pro Tools quit unexpectedly". . .

What totally bone-headed thing am I missing?

Might need to try a re-install... otherwise on the MBP compatibility list....

I don't use PT much any more, but in the past when I had problems like that in v10 it was usually plugin related. Removing some of the plugins would eventually make the problem go away, but I can't say I was very scientific about it. If you've added any new plugins recently that would be a good place to start.

Could PT 2019 have installed some new plugs, or updated some of the old ones?

Indeed, my year is not on the list, but the specs are. I will attempt a re-install today.

Re: Crashing on startup with 10.14.5
 

It's actually a brand new install of PT on a brand new computer. No pre-existing versions or plug-ins other than the three I mentioned in my post, all of which are compatible according to their parent companies. I may remove them anyway, just to see, but otherwise there shouldn't be any other complications...**I would think**

Re-installed, no dice. Tried out 2019.6, and still no dice... Avid support put me on a call-back list yesterday and never called back. Email to Avid support has not been answered... Bought the perpetual license. Quite peeved with Avid right now.

Yup can totally understand.... if you can msg Jeffro on here he can get things going and very helpful. hopefully others may chime in with some ideas but I'm sure alls no lost.

I'm not sure if this applies to Mac, but on the PC there is an "Unused Plugins" folder so you don't have to uninstall, then reinstall to find a problem plugin.

Hi, we can't find an active Avid Account under the Email you registered in the duc. Can you give us the case number of your support ticket so we could check?

Thanks,
Tope
