a simpler way is to use the app that is posted in this forum. This will do it automatically.

Lok at the root volume of the external hard drive. You'll see a folder there called "Digidesign Databases". Inside it should be 2 items "volume.ddb" and "WaveCache.wfm". Make sure ProTools is quit, then throw away this folder on all drives including the internal hard drive, then reboot. Don't worry, Protools will automatically recreate this when you relaunch.


I believe this is what ultimately worked for me.
I'm on a G5 2.3ghz 4.5gigs ram HD 1, with several externall firewire 400's

Wow, that seems to have worked.

Thanks a ton!

Hello,

have you done all what was said in this thread regarding tips ?


if yes but still having the same problem i would suggest some more like :

#1 - re trash what has been said here including on all usb &/or FW HDD connected to the mac. Do not forget to trash all protools + dae preferences (mac hd / users / library / preferences)

#2 - repair all permissions with the disk utility
#3 - empty the trash.


#4 - in case some files wouldn't trash because still active, restart computer.

#5 - empty the trash again
#6 - restart computer and hold alt+cmd+P+R right after gong one and wait till 4 others have rung before releasing keys - open your session.
#7 - if that still does not work : back to #1 till #6 and then : create new session as said here use import session data and see what hapends.



- Instead of using the diskutility to repair permissions (#2), i would strongly recommand the use of applejack
- just keep in mind when applejack is launched we are in querty mode (azerty here) - proceed all applejack's commands
- back to #6 when applejack is asking you if you want to to restart
