Delete Avid's Application Manager.
Don't use SoundFlower (if you are).
Those things, along with the standard steps others recommended, have really knocked down my -6101s to the point that they are so rare, the last time one happened I opened a support ticket to try to figure out why it happened. Support was unhelpful. To be fair, though, I only care if it happens when I'm recording a remote interview, and thankfully that's when it's rare. They still pop up now and then when I'm working on my own but I just ignore them.
I'm pretty sure a couple of plugs I have (and have since disabled) cause the error: Krotos Simple Monsters and/or Seventh Heaven Reverb. So there may indeed be a couple of plugs causing it for you, too.

Hi SoundByLaura,
Thanks for replying, I appreciate any feedback on 6101. Although I have to say that 4 hours yesterday spent working PT it didn't throw a single 6101 so will test with the same setting today.
The first thing I did/do as I've done it twice after spilling coffee through the first MBP. Was to go through and setup all the PT recommended optimisation tweaks. I don't use SunFlower however that Little Snitch app looks interesting... just having a lil look will it stop attempts from also coming in to a private wifi? I'm thinking when I use my TF5 live I use my iPad to control the TF5 located to the side of or back stage. Once the room is full people and mobile phones can possibly cause interference trying to connect to the router connected to the TF5. I haven't had this issue myself yet only heard mention of it, but just thought I would ask.
Not sure about deleting Avid's App Manager...

Anyways this is the latest update.... I really do think I'm getting somewhere... and learnt a few more Mac things.
The current settings/changes I made since I first posted are mostly in the playback engine....
Removed Click track and Plugin from session(s) but still in the active plug-in list.
HW Buffer Size: 512 - I usually run at 128 or 256 changing to 512 didn't stop 6101 throwing.
Ignore Errors During P/R - reselected as I didn't see any difference selected or not when it comes to the 6101 error.
Never needed to select "Minimize Additional I/O Latency" (I say minimise you say minimize haha the o'l you say tomato thing)
Dynamic Plug-in Processing - deselected as suggested I think from Cutlerbri thread.
Video Engine -is never selected as I don't do video, at least yet.
Cache Size : set to 3Gb from Normal as suggested by Cutlerbri
again I used only sessions that didn't contain any click tracks, pretty easy to create your own midi or audio file click track anyways. Also I visually searched my Plug-in Settings folder for the "Click ll" plug, but couldn't find it as I wanted to shift it to an unconnected drive to test that scenario. Also I had a shorter session but long enough about 4 hours and as mentioned above not a single 6101.
So where can I find the Click ll plug?.... ah ha! read the plugin guide, just came to me... found it. Actually shouldn't I be able to just throw it into the "Plug-ins (Unused)" folder to deactivate it? and PT knows not to use them pretty sure I read something like that in the PT Ref Manual.
Seems to me killing the Click track made the biggest difference and I wonder perhaps unchecking Dynamic Plug-in Processing has had some effect.... I'm going to run the same settings today and if all is good I may try changing the Cache size back to Normal tomorrow and see what happens.
