The Dreaded 'Problem detected with audio clock...

Check clock source and sample rate are correct.'

Can any one help me? I have this set up:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00


Using Protools 8.0.1

Digi Rack 002

External hard drive:
G-TECH 465.8 GB Firewire drive
with FW800 and a 1394b / 1394 Firewire cable (to Digi Rack 002)
and a cable from the External to the computer: 1394b

This is a new G-tech drive that is replacing an old one that was on the brink of death. I sent that one back to G-Tech and they nicely sent the new replacement in two days! I excitedly plugged it in and cranked up Protools and pressed record to find this miserable error message. Why it's having a problem when I changed nothing - I just don't know! The hard drive sees the digi rack but no audio. I've seen other people have this problem but in windows not mac. I would love for some one to treat me like a dummy and tell me step by step on how to approach this problem. I'm not well versed in technical lingo - a lot of that just goes over my head and I have to crack the books just to understand what people are talking about. I do hope someone can help me - or know any one in the Durham, NC area that I can call.

I just want to get back to recording like I had been before changing to a new external hard drive.


Please help and thank you in advance.
