Downgrading from 10.4.4???

[tlester]

Hi all -

OK.. I'm buying an HD Rig, converting from using Logic Pro 7 in my production studio. The HD parts arrive next week. I've been running 10.4.4. since before I decdied to purchase PT HD. So... now what? Live with 10.4.4 problems or attempt to downgrade? If downgrade, where would I get an install disk of 10.4.3?

Any ideas, tips, etc?

I'm not sure what the retail version that is selling is at now, but what ever version you have, you're going to have to do an archive & install. Then update to 10.4.3.

While I wouldn't recommend installing 10.4.4 until it has been approved, I wouldn't dump it until I felt it was giving me problems. Many people have been using without difficulty. It's not like Digi has come out and said that there is a problem with 10.4.4 like they did with 10.3.9. From what I've seen, the problems that people have been complaining about seem to be about certain plug-ins like Mach 5. I guess it depends on how much effort you've put into getting 10.4.4 all set up with your other software. I would burn that bridge when I got to it.

10.4.4 is working here with PT'sHD 7.1 cs4
G5 dual 2.7

I updated for the video drivers but would usually wait for Digi approval.

What crontab entries? I don't have any by default. All I have is a few custom ksh and perl scripts that I've written myself. What should I be scheduling for PT improving tasks?

He's probably just referring to periodic


here's 2 applescripts that I run whenever things get funny



this one to delete Digidesign Databases
<font class="small">Code:<hr /><pre>
set thePath to "/Volumes/NAME VOLUME A HERE/Digidesign Databases"
do shell script "rm -r " & quoted form of thePath

set thePath to "/Volumes/NAME VOLUME B HERE/Digidesign Databases"
do shell script "rm -r " & quoted form of thePath

set thePath to "/Volumes/ETC/Digidesign Databases"
do shell script "rm -r " & quoted form of thePath</pre><hr />





and then this one to move prefs to the trash
<font class="small">Code:<hr /><pre>
set thePath to "/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/Pro Tools v7.1 Preferences"
set theTrash to "/Users/YOURUSERNAME/.Trash"
do shell script "mv " & quoted form of thePath & " " & quoted form of theTrash

set thePath to "/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/DigiSetup.OSX"
set theTrash to "/Users/YOURUSERNAME/.Trash"
do shell script "mv " & quoted form of thePath & " " & quoted form of theTrash

set thePath to "/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.digidesign.ProToolsTDM.plist"
set theTrash to "/Users/YOURUSERNAME/.Trash"
do shell script "mv " & quoted form of thePath & " " & quoted form of theTrash

set thePath to "/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/DAE Prefs/"
