Hopefully this weekend I can make the Carbon Copy Clone Back Up...

I did notice that while the Time Machine was On it did a System Back up on the MBP too.. Which wasn't my plan...

Any idea why I'm getting so many Stoppages & CPU Warnings Pop ups now after doing the System Back ups?

No idea because you aren't telling us what you're doing to cause the problems. Just doing a backup won't cause the problems you're seeing. There's something else going on you're not telling us about.

I open a Project to work on the Mix... I hit play, while listening & Mixing the s intermittently stops & I get the CPU Warning Pop Up... I hit Stop, then hit Play & it will play. Until it happens again....???

Are you inserting any plugins while the transport is running? What Plugins do you have in the session? What else do you have running while working inside PT? Internet? Anything wireless other than maybe a mouse or computer keyboard?

You have to be doing something to cause this as on a properly setup computer you shouldn't have these issues. I still have the feeling you're not telling us everything that's going on. I was going to say to do a video of what's happening and post it on YouTube but that's WAY beyond your capabilities.

You are correct, I don't know how to make a Video of an Intermittent problem..

This Computer is only used for ProTools 10, it's Stock Plugins, ToonTrack EZ Drummer 2 & Abbey Road Suite. Projects are Stored on External Hard Drives.. Or should I say were... It is not inteneded for any other use. Except to email Projects...
I shut everything down.. unplugged the External Hard Drives. Then plugged in my main Project External Hard Drive, Powered up Presonus 16.4.2 Interface & finally my MBP & PT10...

The CPU problem hasn't happened since... Hopefully it stays that way...

I've had to postpone the CCC as I needed to Re-Mix 4 Songs for an Album Project that needs to get to the CD Pressing Co. this week... Hopefully I can get the CC done before the Ram upgrade stuff gets here...

Thanks,
