Default Can not sync two PT 9 computers..Help

I have been able to sync two computers with PT 7 for years. I have updated to PT 9 and was still able to sync both computers with midi (M-audio Uno)

Now that I have updated to 9.2... No sync recognized!! Tried driver updates etc, double checked settings..

Need help I have mix work to do and this has ground me to a stop!!
Anybody else with the same problem?
Any Avid experts or PT 9.2 experts here?

Thanks

Add some more specifics to how your syncing your systems together and what interfaces your using on both systems.

Did you only update PT software?
What about the OS?

Are you positive your settings in apple midi setup are the exact same?

No OS update only PT to version 9.2
Both computers have M audio audiophile 192 cards installed. M audio Uno (usb-Midi) is used to sync both computers
I am on PC windows 7

I have uninstalled PT 9.02 and reinstalled to version 9. Still no MMc or mtc out. I may be wrong about having it work before I installed 9.02. I thought I had done one project that needed sync now I am doubting that.

Can anyone verify that they are sending MMC out of PT 9 ?

Quick Reply:

Last month I synced PT 9.0.2 on OSX 10.6.7 via MIDI Focusrite to a Presonus from Sonar 8.5.3 running Windows 7 32bit.

Summary successful sync across software, and operating systems which makes my setup possibly more complex than yours - which leads me to believe yours will work.

What are the options you see in Setup Peripherals?

So for you PT 9 was receiving sync, right? I am trying to generate and receive.

Peripherals are set to the proper midi device on each computer, Start computer is set as master... receive computer as slave, same channel number.
I did it for a long time with previous PT version. One thing I noticed in version 9 is that in the session menu there is not the mtc checkbox that was there in the previous versions, not sure if that makes any difference though

They moved that setting onto the transport. Open the transport window and show the synchronization controls. Now you'll see the Gen MTC button.
