Missing Audio Suite Plugins PT8

[Jayles]

Just installed pt8, upgrading from 7.3. Everything was ok in 7.3 but now that i Updated I am having a problem.

I have no audio suite plug ins from the drop down menu. I seems to show that I have them in the plug in folder but still they are not showing up, am i missing something here?

Let me say this, When I first got the software, i had to automatically update the Mac, to snow leopard. That went easy fast and fine. I then put the pt 8 software in and after about 45 min it finally went through, toward the end it said "Failed". I did some homework with avid and I had to download the combo pack 8.0.3. Download that,.. with the disc in,.. and it gave me the pro tools icon. Toward the end of that download it said "failed". So i closed out all boxes and click the pt icon to see if it would start up, and it did! But there are no plug ins. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same thing mentioned above happened. "Failed". So any thoughts on what the hell is going on. . . ?? i want to think the pt is ok since its on my computer, but i have no plug ins so i want to think something is wrong at the same time.. Does anyone have a clue to why this is happening??? This has been going on for 3 days now, and i cant find any help any where. Please help?!!!

You should follow the compatibility link above as I don't think PT8 is compatible with SL

I upgraded the pt to 8.0.5 I thought that was compatible with SN, So i was told, anyways.. Any other ideas?

Firstly, Jayles, according to your profile you only have 2 GB RAM. It's my understanding that at least 4 GB is recommended to run Pro Tools.

Also according to your profile you have OSX 10.6.3 which IS compatible with versions 8.0.4 and up according to the compatibility chart.

My suggestion, though, is maybe upgrade your RAM and then re-install version 8.0.5. Your system probably just doesn't currently have the resources to include the plugins you're missing in a running session.

Thats very strange, before I updated to pt 8 I was running 7.3 with out a problem. So, I dont know if it has something to do with that,... I will look into that but thats very odd if you need 4 gb of ram, just to update it.
