Pro Tools Won\'t Start (again?!)
Hi, I've recently run into an issue with my Pro Tools LE system. I have an MBox2 hooked up to a Macbook Pro. I have a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 2GB of RAM installed. I'm running OS X 10.4.9, but I upgraded my Pro Tools LE to version 7.3.1 and it has been running fine on my computer since then. I recently tried to open Pro Tools and it just bounced in the dock once or twice and then never opened, similarly to the way it reacted when I first upgraded to OS X 10.4.9. The problem this time is, there haven't been any system upgrades. The only things that have been updated recently are Quicktime and AirPort. Does anyone have a similar problem/know how to get Pro Tools running again? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Quicktime breaks PTLE again, that's your problem. As does the most recent security update. You need to run the pace prebinding script - www.paceap.com/prebind_script.dmg
If that fails run the 10.4.9 combo updater again, and then try the script one more time. |

Thanks for that post!
I was just experiencing the same problem. The Pace update worked great, although I had already just uninstalled and reinstalled PT (which didn't work until I saw your message). I wish Pro Tools would have given an error message of some sort - that would have been very helpful. Elsa |

As for knowing when you can and can't update, basically, don't ever do it immediately unless you absolutely have to. Then check in here for a bit after things are released and see if there are any reports of problems. The Digidesign compatibility index is your friend. If your system is working fine, do you absolutely need to update right away? |

Re: Pro Tools Won\'t Start (again?!)
hmm guess thats a fair enough comment....
just really looked forward to work in protools and i do like it! but theres always something..... i ran Logic express 7.2 and i got better performance( even though i only have 1gb Ram and no external harddrive) i do understand i need these things but i wonder how in logic in can have 23 audiotracks numerous instrument tracks with no real hassle and PT locks me down with DAE errors all the time... i have to say i prefer the PT way of working, midi and audio... however what if do get 2 or even 3gb ram and an external harddrive with the famous Oxford Chip (MAXTOR onetouch III has oxford 924,that would work right)and nothing changes then i am just afraid that i still battle the things i deal with now... Also i do miss some good plugins (like in logic, shame one cant use them in PT) so basically i bought a iMac C2D 2.16 which i think is very fast but PT has other plans... sorry just venting a bit... why is there no freeze by the way? so there you have it i like PT a lot besides the fact that i seem to spend more time doing other things than my music thanks for comment! cheers and stay tuned, M. P.S. after reinstalling COMBO 10.4.9 PT started up again... (until the next episode)
