Default Could not create a new document...?!?!??!!!

What the hell does this mean:

"Could not create a new document because Assertion in "/Volumes/Development/ws.Ludwig/AlturaPorts/DFW/MacBuild/../Views/Umenu.MacOS.mm", line 1350?"

Delete Databases and Volumes

This step can be useful when receiving random 'assertion' or 'neoaccess' errors, especially when recording or saving.

-Delete the "Digidesign Databases" folders on the first level of all mounted hard drives.
-Delete the "Volumes" folder:
Pro Tools versions 7.3 and earlier it's located in MacHD > Library > Application Support > Digidesign > Databases.
Pro Tools 7.4 and higher will find it in MacHD > Library > Application Support > Digidesign > Databases > Unicode.

-Empty trash, then restart the computer.

In Pro Tools 10.0.0 the volumes and database folders appear to be in the Avid tree in the Application library.

Emptying the Volumes folder then emptying the trash followed by a reboot doesn't appear to solve the issue.

I did not find any folder under Digidesign Databases.

Any ideas?

I posted this on one of the other threads:

I am on PT 10.0.1 running Mac Snow leopard and I got the same error.

Try, as dumb as this sounds, changing your playback engine in the setup menu to built in output. I just had the same error and it fixed it.

Don't try to launch a new session. Simply launch PT, close all error dialog prompts , and change the playback engine.

Hope this helps.

Hey, same problem, running Lion on a MacBook Pro.

Deleting the folder didn't work, and although changing the playback engine works, I need to use the Pro Tools Aggregate I/O as the playback engine in order to use my Peavey PV8 USB mixer in PT.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance :)

Hold down the "N" key while starting up Pro Tools.
Then you should be able to select Pro Tools Aggregate I/O as the playback engine in a pop up window.
After that the normal Quick Start window should appear.
