Pro Tools 7.1.1 is required for compatibility with Intel Macs.

You can download the update here (assuming you qualify for a free update, which requires a Pro Tools 7 or higher code):

so what about those of us who only have the 6.9.2 version? i mean i just bought the 6.7 version last july, so not even a year ago. do i have to buy a brand new pro tools 7 already? just to be able to start recording music. i mean im not trying to sound like a dick or anything, i realize that u just work for digidesign, but that seems a lil screwed up. is there anything i can do? or is there some sort of deal for those in my situation? thanks

hey thanks for posting that. im running 6.9.2 and was considering upgrading to 7.1.1, but it would cost me $75 that i dont have to spend, but if u are having the exact same prob with 7.1.1 then screw it. im just gonna find a new and better program. i went to a school that was a pro tools school, and ive had a lot of trouble with pt, so screw it. thanks. peace

I'll bet you did not reformat the drive so it is FAT32 out of the box
On a Mac you need to be formated HFS+ Journaling turned on

I'm using Macbook: 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo1; 1.5 GB memory; 60GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive2 SuperDrive and the 002 rack. My system is the Mac OS X ver. 10.4.7 and my startup disk is the Macintosh HD. I have installed PT ver. 6.9.2 however when I create a new session and I want to
"save as" it says the following:

Session must be on an audio record volume.

I have read through all the previous post but I'm still slightly at lost because I just got this Mac and I don't want to do any serious damage or get to the point where I have to reboot and what-not. Do I have to format the volume either as Mac OS Extended (journaled) or other? or do I have to Repair disk permissions? I DO NOT want to save my audio files to none of the internal drives.. a big no no....

The other thing is that I have an external hard drive WD USB 2... and this is the drive that all my audio work is saved too.. well it was Via Windows. The problem is that when I try to save to this drive the (save) section next to the (cancel) is inactive. Is it because Mac (by just connecting the external drive with the usb2) didn't fully recognize what it is and in that case I need to install the software that came with the external drive?

Thanks

Thanks for the great info DUC , you´re the best!

Also people, if you are using Mac OS X 10.4.3 then be sure you are using Pro Tools LE 6.9.2

God bless

When I try to play a wav or record vocals I'm not hearing anything. Yet when I look at the mixer things are moving and sound appears to be playing. What can I do?
