DId you get to "validate" (type in your serial# on the inside page of your manual) on your FIRST LAUNCH? Just curious.

I upgraded from 6.4 to 6.7 to 6.9 and get same issues too on my ibook. Tried the fixes too but to no avail.
Why doesn't digidesign sort these bugs out before releasing it?
Some people rely on protools professionally and things like this are major hindrances on their work?
Look forward to any other solutions on hand..


Edit:
O.k I'm using os tiger 10.4.1 and 6.9 LE. I'll download 6.9.2 and try then. Will report findings.

Default Re: Audio Record or Playback Volume Error Info

Since many of you failed to list the OS version you're running, very likely the problem is that you're running an incompatible Pro Tools version for your OS.

If you're on Tiger (OS 10.4.x) then you MUST have Pro Tools 6.9.2 installed.

If you're on Panther (OS 10.3.x) then the latest version is Pro Tools 6.9 or 6.9.1

Please check that you're running a compatible version.

Default Re: Audio Record or Playback Volume Error Info

i've got the same problem...running 10.4.2 and LE 6.9.2 does that help (2xG5 2.3 2x250HD 2GB RAM mbox)

initially i set up an account for a new user, installed ptle there but that wasn't going so well, so i deleted that user and reinstalled protools on the root user...i've since deleted again repaired permissions installed again...nothing...i haven't been able to get it going at all at anystep in the process.

is there a new version of the software that will be compatible with 10.4.2 or is this supposed to work now?

what other troubleshooting techniques can you suggest (i've followed 26341 and 27149)?

Default Re: Audio Record or Playback Volume Error Info

I'm starting my second email request to tech....see below...

Audio Card: Digi 002 Rack
Audio Interface: Digi 002 Rack
Miscellaneous:
Digidesign Software: Pro Tools LE
Version: 6.9
Computer Model and Speed: iBook 14" 1.07G
RAM: 1.25G
Operating System: OS10.3.8

Please give a concise description of the problem:
PRIORITY...PLEASE NOTE THIS SECOND REQUEST

...this was the email reply from Digi this morning....
Hi,

You should be able to go the Windows > Show Workspace Window and toggle
your external drive to R for record. It you can not set the drive to a
record volume it sounds like you need to trash the Digidesign Databases
folders on the root of all mounted volumes and run the Apple Disk Utility
and run repair disk permissions on your system drive.

Best regards,
Digidesign Technical Support

...this is the previous tsr I filed this past weekend....

Please give a concise description of the problem:
I transferred all OS and program data via firewire on startup with my new
iBook. This system transfer came from my 12" Powerbook, which was (and
still is) working with ProTools without incident. I use a Lacie 160G
Firewire drive with 8Mg buffer. When I tried to use ProTools from my new
iBook, it did not recognize either of my drives (internal or firewire) as
audio capable. I followed the thread on the DUC this weekend, and executed
all of the Digi-suggested fixes, with no success. As mentioned above, I am
still able to plug in my 12' PBook and work on my current PT projects. I
am hoping you my have more suggestions to help alleviate this frustrating
problem. I did also have to enter the "challenge-response" codes for DiFi
and Maxim on the new computer before getting to the drive issue. I did
progress from 6.4 to 6.7 (purchased) to 6.9. As mentioned, the
"mirror-image" computer (my 12" PBook) still works flawlessly within my
setup. Hope to hear from you soon.

Actions required to reproduce the problem:
Just trying to use the 14' iBook in my system. I can go back to my 12"
Powerbook without incident.

Troubleshooting already attempted:
All the Digi-suggested procedures on the DUC post: changing (or attempting
to) the drive functions (to Record) in the Workspace,verifying
permissions, repairing drives, reformatting drives, re-installing PT 6.9,
etc..

Actions required to reproduce the problem:


Troubleshooting already attempted:
I just tried the above procedure (trash databases/verified permissions) and the
audio drive recognition restriction is still there...losing business...please
help. Thanks.

Default Re: Audio Record or Playback Volume Error Info

Hey guys,
Had the same issue as per everyone but now have it fixed!
Using ibook g4 with os tiger 10.4.1 .
Here's what I did:
1 . Did a clean uninstall of protools le (click on setup icon as though you were installing and select uninstall)
2. Go to Utilities / Disk Utilities and did disk repair/ permissions thing.
3. Install protools 6.7.
4. Install 6.9.2 ( you must use this version for tiger)
5. Go to Utilities / Disk Utilities and did disk repair/ permissions thing again.
6. run protools (entered license code).
7. Click on Window / Show workspace
8. It automatically showed Record in A column so recognised as suitable audio volume.
9. Grin on my face and small cry of yippee!

the reason it didn;t work before was that I used a previous version (6.9) of LE on os tiger which doesn't work properly. You must use 6.9.2.

js nyc -

The problem most likely resides in the clone of your other drive. To fix this you will probably need to reinstall the OS directly from a CD/DVD onto the machine you're currently having the problem with.

Default Re: Audio Record or Playback Volume Error Info

I did the clean install of OSX from disk, repaired permissions along the way, did the OS software updates (repaired again) and then could not open ProTools. So following the advice of one of the posts above (thanks btw), I uninstalled ProTools using my 6.7 disk, then installled and upgraded to 6.9 while repairing permissions along the way. I was finally (hours later) able to assign audio record status to my drives again after launching ProTools. Unfortunately, I was left with several plug-in issues: not recognizing authorization (T-Racks), non-working (Sony Oxford, even with the iLok attached), etc....So....I'm mostly back on the field, but without all my gear.......any more suggestions?
