"Path to session contains illegal characters"
 

hi everyone,

i'm asking for some help on behalf of a friend, who's having an issue with pt 10 on his macbook pro..

--

here are the particulars of the problem:

newly installed protools 10
when i open a new session, when i try to save, i get the comment:

Path to session contains illegal characters ( / ).

when i open a new session, and import sound files, and try to save, i also get:

Path to session contains illegal characters ( / ).

Mac processor - 2.2 Ghz intel core i7
OS - 10.7.5
8 Gb ram
using glyph firewire drive

everytime i have opened any session, i can not save it, even after adding files / regions.
i always get that statement:
Path to session contains illegal characters ( / ).
and it does not: no "/"

many thanks for any tips!

Select the session file in the finder, command-I for get info. Look at the file path there; I'll bet you'll see an illegal character somewhere.

best,

the session will not save.

Have you looked at the file path?

Is the path to save going through to the Glyph drive? A couple of months back I had one of my GPT50's go south and it was, amongst other things (like -50 errors), giving me the illegal character error message. And it only happened when I had Kontakt 5 (the AAX version) in the session.
