You don't need OMS on OSX. You deal with these issues with the "Audio MIDI Setup" in your "Applications/Utilities" folder.

OMS does not run under OSX, It only works with Protools under OS9! iNstead Didi use AMS, IS that what you mean??

Sounds like you are trying to install ProTools 5.x in the classic environment - This absolutely will not work. You must have PT 6.x to run in OS X (check the compatibility pages). Please post more info about your system (OS version, computer model, amount of RAM etc.), and we can help you with exactly which version you need to upgrade to.

I have the installer CD for LE 5.2.1 , my system in OSX 10.2.8 , i have no partitions . How can i upgrade, do I have to purchase any software ?
When i try to run pro-tools, it come on classic, but it stop saying there was a problem with the DAE , and when i intalled it it said i needed OMS .

Hi, you do not need to partition your HD. You need to either boot your computer in OS 9 and reinstall PT 5 with OMS, or you need to purchase the PT 6 upgrade and install that in OSx. Your software will not work in OS 10.anything. Period. And with PT 5, you will need to boot in OS 9 every time you want to use the program, it will not work in OSx/Classic. Hope this helps.
