Digidesign has officially qualified Mac OS X 10.4.6 for PPC* with all of the following systems:

• Pro Tools HD 7.0/7.1
• Pro Tools LE 7.0/7.1
• Pro Tools M-Powered 7.0/7.1

*PowerPC models only. Intel-based Macs are currently not supported with any version of Pro Tools. Digidesign currently anticipates that we will release versions of Pro Tools LE 7 and Pro Tools M-Powered 7 software that are compatible with Intel-based Apple computers in May 2006.

Have you stopped testing compatibility for all ProTools 6.9 releases? Just wondering because none of the OS X versions past 10.4.2 have been noted. Thanks.

[Avid]

As newer versions of Pro Tools are added to the test grid, previous versions are removed. We have not tested Pro Tools 6 with any newer OS releases since the release of Pro Tools 7.

Does this also apply to G5 Quad 2.5?

Thanks,

Hands.

Hello,

I worked with Mbox (1) on MAC OSX panther with no problem, Pro Tools 6.2.2.
I just upgraded to OS X 10.4.6 and since can't launch Pro Tools.
I get always the same error -1133 (digidesign hardware is in use by another application).
I tried every solution indicated on the digidesign support but nothing did it.
There's no other application using digidesign hardware, as far as I know.

What should I do?
A friend told me that I should upgrade to pro tools 7, is that the only solution?
Does Pro Tools 7 runs all right on Mbox 1?
thank you.

You need a minimum of Pro Tools 6.9.2 for compatibility with Tiger and, yes, Pro Tools 7 will work with the original Mbox.

Do you have a more specific date for the Intel-based Mac compatible release of Pro Tools LE? Thanks.

[KingTor]

Yeah, we're getting close to the end of May 2006 and I still haven't heard a peep about when Pro Tools LE is going to run on the new Mac Book Pro.

Any news that you can share with us?

Thanks,
Tor

The current estimate is still the end of May, as it says at the top of the compatibility section:

Thanks. I read the compatibility page and all I saw is "in May 2006," not "at the end of May 2006." I was hoping that it would be earlier rather than later in May, but I'll be happy to see it whenever it comes.
