Update: It looks like the repair permission procedure worked! Thanks to Deny for the suggestion!

I just confirmed twice that it screws with the Avid Eleven Rack drivers (v1.05_735010) with Pro Tools 10 causing the Eleven Rack to no longer be discovered by your Mac. So at this point, do not upgrade at this time to Mac OSX 10.7.3 period!

Sadly, this is just reinforcing the need to look at alternative products. Time marches on and I can't afford to freeze my computer due to the slow or non-existent way that Avid is supporting their products.

After the update, did you reinstall the 11R drivers and ERXP?

Please try the following procedure also:

1. Open "Disk Utility"

2. Select "Macintosh HD"

3. Click on "Repair Permissions"

4. Reboot

5. Re-test 11R connectivity

And please let us know if it works.

Repairing permissions is not going to fix this issue!

Update: It did fix the issue! Thanks Deny for the suggestion!

Have you tried?

[sorcerer27]

I personally think that will be a waste of time! Care to wager on it? :) Maybe I'll do it tomorrow just to prove my point. I've already re-loaded my system twice today to test things.

well g@!# da@#$ it...I'm running 10.7.3 and I was going freaking crazy as to why my 11R wasn't recording on pro tool 10 anymore...un installed and re-installed, 11R wouldn't show up in PT10, uninstalled it and re installed it again now I get fockin error message stating it's not compatible...

[sorcerer27]

I rest my case! :) Mirage2992, care to run repair permissions on your system and tell us the results?
