Default How to Open ProTools First files

I have finally upgraded from my mid-2011 Mac, and can now use Pro Tools again. I'm starting with Pro Tools Intro (I believe).

When Pro Tools First stopped working on my old Mac, I was in the middle of a creating a song for my wife with my children. The children have grown up and left, and now my wife *really* wants me to get that project mixed and completed.

I presume all of the tracks I need from Pro Tools First are kept in the files 'm finding that end with *.ptproject.

Is that correct?

Unfortunately, the *.ptproject files aren't opening in Pro Tools Intro.
I'm using File -> Open -> Project -> Open from Drive.

But though I can see the files from the right time period in the Projet Cache folder, none of the files in the project cache folder are selectable. I cannot click on one of the *ptproject files.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

Are the projects appearing on both Dashboard and on your local folder's PT cache? Have you tried signing out and signing back in?
