PT 11.1.3 Crashing On Loading - Potential Plug-In Issues [RESOLVED]

[Studio 8]

Hey Guys,

I experienced this issue this morning. I use my system professionally and being down for even half a day is a real problem.

I purchased an ASC and while I was on the call I mentioned I had changed the name of my Internal Drive on my MacPro to Studio 8. I also happen to have an External drive I track all sessions to called Studio 8.

Well, apparently that was the issue for me. When I changed the name back to Macintosh HD for my Internal drive, everything launched perfectly.

May not be the exact same issue, but perhaps you have duplicate drives with the same name, or duplicate folders that are confusing the program upon launch.

Good luck!
Jeff

Thanks Studio 8!
I had the same issue. I noticed after reading your post that I had a USB-drive with the same title as my hdd. Renamed it and problem gone.

After trying everything that was suggested here and not finding anything in Avid's knowledge base I was just about to cough up $40 for the ASC when I by pure chance noticed two Macintosh HD icons on my desktop. Namely on my USB drive that I use for Time Machine I also have a partition on which I occasionally dump the contents of my MacBook Pro.

I sad: "... well it couldn't be, could it?" Not only it could have been, IT WAS. After ejecting the drive PT 11 mounted, obviously not looking for stuff on the wrong drive anymore. By the way, the PT 10 didn't care about this and worked just fine. Go figure.

To PT Users,


Similar Issue with version 2018.3.0 Pro Tools HD this morning.
Just removed a usb pen drive I had inserted into my Mac before startup
relaunched the PT software which worked fine for me.
