12.5 Rockin' and stable

[reichman]

After all the scary things I'd read about 12.5, I thought I would have to rollback to 12.4. Not true. Heavy use for the last few days with PTHD 12.5 & OS X 10.10.5, no problems at all. Feels just like 12.4.

FWIW, I haven't gone deep into the cloud functionality yet, but everything else is good.

Likewise... Been 100% stable and functional here, no issues at all

Not HD, but no problems here at all; also haven't explored cloud...sounds like there's some issues with removing projects and regaining space.

Mac side is good for me so far.

PC was terrible.

For me, cloud was a non starter anyway, so no probs, I'd rather stick with wetransfer and Dropbox

I have a hunch that people who are having problems haven't done this. I do this every time I install an update. Start fresh:

Deleting Pro Tools Preference, Workspace, and WaveCache files
These are important steps in order to resolve various issues, such as assertion errors, graphic or display problems, and other intermittent issues not specifically hardware or compatibility related. Be sure to quit Pro Tools before deleting these files, and restart your computer afterwards. The files will be recreated next time Pro Tools is launched.

Pro Tools Preferences
This procedure will reset Pro Tools preferences to a default state. Try this to correct odd or erratic behavior in the application:

From the Finder, click on the 'Go' menu at the top of your screen.
Press and hold the Option key on your keyboard and choose 'Library'.
Go to the Preferences folder.
Go to the Avid folder.
Go to the Pro Tools folder.
Delete all files in this folder:
AvidListFile.txt
DSIPrefs
InstalledAAXPlugins
Last Used.pio
Pro Tools Prefs
updater.properties

Pro Tools Workspace database files
Try deleting these if you experience file-based issues, such as problems searching for audio files in the Workspace.
Open your Macintosh HD.
Go to the Users folder.
Go to the Shared folder.
Delete the Pro Tools folder, which contains the following two files:
Workspace.wksp
WaveCache.wfm

I 've been hesitant also, good to hear.
And the fresh start laundry list look like a winner also. I waited until 12 .4.1 before I moved up from 11.3.2 and installed both PT and OSX 10.10.5 on a brand new SSD hard drive. I'ts been really stable.
