Upgrade woes: Stop Button Lights Blue - Can't record/playback
Hi--
I recently updated from OX 10.8.5 & PT 12.4 to OS X 10.10.5 & PT 12.6.1. My hardware interface is a Digi 003. My old system was ROCK solid, but several issues (not audio related) required I update my OS. Now I've got two things that occur with alarming frequency: In the middle of a session, the stop button lights solid blue and the play button flashes green, and I'm unable to continue recording or playback until I quit PT, turn off the Digi 003 and restart both. I've seen others in the forum report the same, but no real solution. The 2nd issue is more of an annoyance: upon launch I always get the query: "Do you want the application “Pro Tools.app” to accept incoming network connections?" even though I've gone to my Mac System Preferences and allowed the connection for PT in my Privacy settings. I can download the update for PT 12.7 -- will that solve any of this? Or do I need another OSX upgrade as well? Or is there a simpler fix? My Mac Hardware is: Mac Pro Tower (Mid 2012) 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 32 GB of Memory Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB SAMSUNG 1TB SSD Start-up drive WD 4TB SATA Drive for PT sessions Thank you! |

Blue stop light - online waiting or timecode/midi?

I'm not using timecode/midi--but I have to admit I don't know what you mean by "online waiting" either :)

Hello,
The indicators you describe present when PT is put in chase mode and is waiting for timecode. Command-J does this, could you be pressing that by mistake? Hugh |

Yes, I definitely checked that--it's something else.

Re: Upgrade woes: Stop Button Lights Blue - Can't record/playback
Both the issues in your original post have been discussed in DUC posts in the past, I know because I have posted fixes in some of those threads, you really should be searching for those... use Google search with “site: duc.avid.com” or “site:avid.com”, included in the search (without the double quotes). It is also worth searching the Avid support knowledge base if stuck, not sure if these items are there or not.

Thank you--I'm looking into that now! I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing (and have my settings recorded) before I trash prefs! :)
