Updated everything - NOW P.T Crashes / protools wont load my projects
Hi Guys, I've been traveling and suffered some personal hard times over the past three years.
Now I've got my gear out out storage finally (that all worked fine before) .., and now if I try to load my old ProTools projects (and earlier unfinished original works in progress) ..., - I get a crash ( ie; application quit unexpectedly message window) in pro tools on startup, but otherwise, if I say create a new project pro tools opens fine Note : - i updated my OS from Sierra up to Mojave - I updated protools from 3 years ago to PT2019.6.0 - I updated all my plugins and VI's and their libraries, including Arturia Toontrack, Native instruments and all the Avid extras etc, making sure nothing was left out. I am only on the cheaper perpetual plan and not the avid support plan (rant alert; even though you buy their product and its not working you should get support no matter what), so all I can do is send them a crash report but as far as support from them ..., well no support otherwise. any ideas guys? also ; im on a mac pro late 2013 (the trashcan) mbox pro (latest updates) pro tools projects on a separate PCIe drive (note I also copied these to my desktop ) backup drives net the same crash results also

Re: Updated everything - NOW P.T Crashes / protools wont load my projects
Hi, Besides all the normal troubleshooting like trashing preferences, optimizing OS, etc., my first guess would be a plugin causing the crashes. Maybe it's trying to load an older incompatible plugin? Have you tried opening the sessions with all plugins disabled? If that's the problem, you just need to figure out which plugins are the problem ones.

Re: Updated everything - NOW P.T Crashes / protools wont load my projects
I don't know when you did this, but they do give you a limited amount of time for live support when you purchase an upgrade, even without purchasing separate support. Or maybe they give you 1 free support case. I forget which. Would be worth double checking your account and/or trying to reach them anyway.

Trashed prefs? First thing to try in this situation.
Also, do you have access to a later version? if so, install it! The recent ones are more stable on my system. Stephen

Re: Updated everything - NOW P.T Crashes / protools wont load my projects
Yes its a plugin causing this.
I had the similar this week. It turned out that an EQ was the problem. Doing all import tricks did not help. It ended in installing an OLD version of the eq und all was good. Try to import track by track to narrow down and see what plug couses it. Or remove some used plugs and see if the session loads. Put one by one back and see what happens. Ale

just to refresh my memory ..., Question 1; how do I trash protools version19.6.0 again (on Mac Pro running Mojave) ? .., as youtube vids etc only show;go to - library/preferences/ then an avid folder? - note; i do not have this avid folder at all in that location? .., so where do i find it and what do i delete? Question 2; can I open pro tools without the plugins and instruments loading ? .., or do I need to uninstall protools , followed by uninstalling all plugins and V.I's .., and then reinstall protools ? .., as i want to add plugins one at a time if possible to search for the culprit?

Opening a Session or Project with Plug-Ins Deactivated To open a Pro Tools session with all plug-ins set to inactive: 1 In Pro Tools, choose File > Open Session. 2 In the Open Session dialog, locate and select the session you want. 3 Shift-click Open. Good luck!

Q2 - Just move all your plugins from the plugins folder found at Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-ins to the Plug-Ins (Un used) folder, at the same location. When you relaunch Pro Tools it will only load the core Avid plugins. See if your problem is solved. If it is, you will know that it is probably a third party plug in causing the issue. Quit Pro Tools. You can then move your third party plugins one at a time, or in groups, back into the Plug-Ins folder, relaunch Pro Tools, check whether the problem has returned, and repeat until you find the culprit. No need to re install Pro Tools. Opening the session with plug ins inactive will still load them at launch, so it won't help you find which one is causing problems.

Re: Updated everything - NOW P.T Crashes / protools wont load my projects
Sounds like he's getting the crash when opening the session, which is why I suggested opening the session with plugins disabled. Your way will work too, just a little more complicated.
