PC LE user with a couple MAC TDM questions.

[bryanbassett]

I am working on a friends MAC OSX 3.72 DUAL processor machine with TDM HD and need to help him with a few things..my MAC knowledge is a bit weak...

1: On Protools startup I have to click thru about 10 expired demo screens...what do I need to delete and from where to get rid of these (ie Amp Farm,Sony Oxford, Bruno, Real Verb..etc.) would love to have them but...

2: He had some files accidently deleted from his disk and now on session open the MISSING FILE screen appears showing the # of missing files and do I want to skip, relink etc. I wish they were still there to relink (several drums tracks came up missing) I have repaired the tracks with samples...I just hit Skip and go on....how do I get rid of the MISSING FILE prompt on session startup?
thanks

Go to Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-ins and move the plug-ins to Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-ins (unused).

Load the session, skip the missing files, then go to the Audio regions menu and select all offline regions and delete them. Save your session, and that prompt should cease.
