Prefs reset
Anyone ever had this? All fine last night, boot up Pro Tools this morning, and all the preferences have been reset - almost like it's deleted the prefs file and created a new one all and my prefs disappeared overnight for no apparent reason.
It's not a showstopper, more kind of irritating. |

Re: Prefs reset
once or twice in the past this has happened to me - it seems to happen to other apps too. I've always seen it as an OS issue. Just keep a rolling backup of your prefs file somewhere.

Re: Prefs reset
Do either of you run a dual-boot system? I do here and sometimes my usual working boot partition (OSX 10.12.6) will pick up something from the other partition (OSX 10.10.5) in the way of preferences or even my desktop picture.

Re: Prefs reset
Thanks for the responses. No dual-boot system here, just a fairly standard HD Native (or whatever the blazes it's called nowadays) system.

Re: Prefs reset
It happened to me recently when I tried to install the Massey L2007 beta.

Re: Prefs reset
happened twice in the last few months but not sure why. I wasn't installing or changing anything as far as software goes.
Other than the pain of having to re-adjust things I didn't see any other problems. |

Re: Prefs reset
Always a good idea to keep a backup, though I don't update that backup file after I have an initial pref file in place because prefs can get corrupt and I'd be backing up the corrupt file. I erase the prefs file, get everything back in place, then save a copy of that file where it stays put.

No I'm still on 10.13.1 because I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to updating the OS. |

Re: Prefs reset
That's why one makes regular clones of one's system so when things go weird recovery is easily possible.
