Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
So, a follow up. I've tried a few things:
Reinstalled OS 10.4.9, PT 7.3.1 cs5, M-Audio driver 1.8.2. Still exp problem. I bought a siig fw 400 expresscard to get the external hd on a different bus. CPU usage seemed better, but still got the error. Tonight I copied over a few sessions to the internal drive, and was unable to get the error on a session with 12 tracks including: 9 audio, EZdrummer, Xpand, and a master fader...even adding up to 16 D-verbs and lowering the buffer to 128! Oh yeah, and airport and bluetooth were on, too. At this point, I would have to chalk it up to either the drive or the inability of the mac to have multiple firewire devices connected at the same time. Both of these are a little hard for me to accept. The same drive worked flawlessly on my AMD desktop even chained through the 410. As far as the mac goes.....it should just work Next steps: borrow another firewire drive to try, or just get a glyph or Lacie. So, what do you guys think? Thanks for those who tried to help. J |

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
I would try another drive, I mean you've really done almost everything else. I don't know what chipset WD puts in their drives, but if you do try another one, make sure it has a compatible chipset (Oxford 911 for FW400 drives). I know people have had success with the additional FW card, so this really does point to a drive issue.

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
Hi Brian,
Did you solved the problem ? I'm using PT since 3-4 weeks now and I cannot get rid of the same error under same circumstances : a 2 track session. I read about less powerfull Macs than mine that work very well with PT, so this is very confusing. Regards, Milan

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
OK, next one with the same Problem.
Recording 2-8 Tracks with a 2.2 Ghz Macbook Pro and 4 GB Ram. 7.4.2 CS2, 10.5.5, external FW 800 drive and a M-Audio 2626. Buffer set 1024, DAE 4, no plugins at all. I always get the message after a fresh start of the Mac within 10 and 30 minutes. When it happened once it´s OK till the next time I have to start the Mac again. And I´ve tried really everything. Digi, please can you help me?

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
OK, but why do I have the same problem with a FW400 drive?
And why do I have NO problems after the first half an hour, anyway if FW400 or 800 drive???
