can't record
Hi guys,
I'm not able to record. Says I can't save session. Check disk allocation and if read only disk, or some such message. My drive is set to record, and the allocation is to the drive I get error (-50). also having trouble ejecting my drive - "the disk -- wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it". This is after I've quit pro tools. Anyone know what's happening here? I tried trashing preferences. Running pt 10 on an imac. S |

Re: can't record

Re: can't record
I'm recording to the external drive ( G -drive ).
I tried to eject the disk so I could restart. I have drive > mbox pro 3rd gen > computer. I"m supposed to start things in order, so if I restart, I turn on drive, mbox, computer. Thanks. |

And again - we need more info on your computer setup like what's in the iMac, memory, OSX version, PT version (not just that it's PT 10). |

Re: can't record
Hey Phil - yes I do have read and write permissions.
Musicman - thanks - Is there a difference between ejecting, and just shutting down and turning off? I thought either was ok. G drive. No, it's not a green drive. http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-drive. connection is drive>mbox pro 3rd gen>computer It's imac 10.6.8 w 8gb memory and pro tools 10.01 I hadn't had any issues. That's what's bizarre. Just happened yesterday, after being fine for, I don't know 2 yrs?? Today, I started up, it took forever ( few minutes ) for the drive to show up on my desktop, and then everything was fine. All working. Strange. |

You're only on 10.01? That's an old version, latest is 10.3.7. Check disk allocation in PT and make sure the drive is okay to write to (this is separate from read/write in OSX). |

Re: can't record
Yes, as stated in original post, I checked disk allocation, and drive is set to record.
seems bizarre, but seems to be fine right now. |

Re: can't record
How old is the g drive? Could be giving u signs that it's about to go. I would back it up if you don't already!

Re: can't record
Thanks Glen. I think it's about 2 years old. Doesn't seem that old??
Musicman. I guess at one point I thought it may be preferable to eject the drive, but I guess that's not the case. The other reason I eject though, is sometimes, I'm done using pro tools, and just want to surf the net, and figure I shouldn't just leave the external drive running all day. Does this make sense, or it's a bad idea? |
