Default Pro tools starts, Mbox has no power
I recently bought a 2004 G5 PowerPC. It has OS X Leopard 10.5.6 installed as its OS.

I lost my original Pro tools 7 CD for Mac so I had to install 6.8.1 on the G5. Pro tools will start up, recognize the Mbox, the ins/outs, but nothing else works or lights up. The Mbox works on my windows PC with version 7+ and works fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated or any points to previous threads with a solution. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.

So theoretically, if I upgrade to PT 7 or 8, my Mbox will start working?
