Hey guys I know when I upgraded to Lion my PT 8.0.5 worked great but some other Audio programs had issues loading properly If you have that problem try this...
I was having the same issue with Ableton Live 8.2.6 and Reason 5.1 since I upgraded my OS X from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to 10.7.2 Lion.
Here was my work around:
1. Download new PT 9 Drivers for your respective hardware here;
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/self...p?DocId=379411
2. Download PT 8.0.5 Update from here (Click "View Available Downloads");
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/self...p?DocId=393663
3. Run PT 9 Driver updater (Restart will be required)
4. Locate this Folder: Macintosh HD>Library>Audio>Midi Drivers
5. Rename all and any instance of the following to include a 1 at the end for example (ex. Digidesignfirewiremidi1.plugin):
- Digidesignfirewiremidi.plugin
- Digidiomididriver.plugin
- DigidesignMBox2midi.plugin
- DigidesignMIDIIOdriver.plugin
6.Run PT 8.0.5 LE Updater(Restart will be required)
7. Check to ensure that this folder has both PT Drivers for PT 8 as well as 9: Mac HD>Library>Audio>Midi Drivers
8. Try to Run Ableton and PT make sure everything is working. If not reboot 1 more time and check again. The point is to ensure you have both 8 and 9 versions of the driver plugins in that folder. Keep the old CoreAudio Manager and all should be good!
Hope this helps took me forever to figure it out! Cheers!
