Pro Tools 8 Power Mac G5...WTF???
Hi Guys,
i have spent the last couple of days trying to setup a dual 2.5 powermac G5 running Leopard 10.5.5 and Pro Tools 8. After the install failing on the existing OS i did a fresh reinstall and again the install failed. It hangs on the creative bundle install script, when i then try and quit the installer the grey screen appears forcing me to restart. After a reboot i can see in the creative suite plugs folder that there is a permissions warning logo on the structure free folder. Having seen this in the original install i repaired permissions prior to this install. Pro Tools 8 opens just, lots of buffer errors and crashes, any ideas? By contrast the install on my MBP running OSX 10.5.5 was fine, no problems no hassles. Sessions open fine etc, it's just the PPC thats giving me jip.

How did you install 10.5.5?
I did a clean install on a new partition and kept my old PT 7.4.2 on a separate partition. That means clean OS install and clean PT8 install. I also had what I believe was a DVD with errors, so used the downloaded dmg for PT8.

G5 isn't compatible. You need an intel Mac

Per Digi's site...PT8 is supported on G5 PPC.

The current plan is to get hold of Tiger and go back to 7, i was never comfortable about leopard but that and Pro Tools 8 seems to be a bit of a poor combination on the G5.

I have 8 LE running beautifully on my dual 2.0 G5. Even in an old partition with hundreds of apps, though my preference is for a clean pro-tools only partition. Ditch the Adobe! (Flash player 10 completely ruined my safari keychain the other day...i am mistrustful of Adobe right now.

Re: Pro Tools 8 Power Mac G5...WTF???
I am having very similar problems with my G5 Quad 2.5 Power PC & Pro-Tools 8 LE. Lots of errors saying delete some plug-ins (while running very few) or raise the hardware buffer size which I am running at full capacity (1024). My cpu meter on the G5 shows a 15 to 20 percent higher rate than the cpu monitor in pro-tools and goes into the red. Any solutions? 7 ran smoothly with Tiger 10.4. Any help or input on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Re: Pro Tools 8 Power Mac G5...WTF???
Thanks for getting back to me. I have verified and updated all my plug-ins to be compatible with 8 from the compatibility chart prior to using PT8 and double checked again. Error numbers are 9128 & 6086. I read the Tech support General Trouble Shooting info after I had posted my thread and did try most of the trouble shooting listed except testing ram and clean install which is what I will do next and see if things go better starting over. I also plan on setting up a separate partition for Pro-Tools once I've backed everything up. It will be a few days before I can get started on this and will post my progress as soon as I've done everything possible. Any other suggestions are most welcome and I appreciate you taking the time.
