Default 9.0.5 won't start up on OS X Lion

When I try to run Pro Tools 9.0.5, it always crashed when it gets to loading XPand!.dpm. Anyone have a clue why?

I have an iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM, and I'm running OS X Lion (10.7.1)

What version of Xpand! are you running? Seems 1.0.3 is the current.

I'm having the exact same problem. I updated to 9.0.5. and installed Lion, everything worked fine. I then updated to 10.7.1, everything still worked fine and even finished a mastering session using it. This morning, turn on the computer and pro tools won't fire up. It hangs on whatever is the last plug-in to be loaded. I tried to post the error log but this forum is limited to 20,000 characters. Any clues is much appreciated!

I actually just fixed it, here's how. I went into Time Machine and restored back to before I put 9.0.5 on, then reinstalled 9.0.5 and now it works again. For how long? who knows! I'll keep you posted.

Make sure all your plug ins are up to date.

The Plug-in Compatibility Grid at the top of this page may be of some help.

No, but as always uninstall Pro Tools, then install 9.0.0 anew and after that directly 9.0.5. I guess that you migrated the system with Pro Tools from SL to Lion. That makes problems.

There is a 9.0.5 full installer for Mac so there is no need to install 9.0

It seems to be an issue with the Audio MIDI Setup. The best course of action is:

Uninstall Pro Tools

Open the Audio MIDI Setup and make sure the Pro Tools Aggregate I/O has been deleted. If it hasn't do so manually.

Reinstall Pro Tools 9.0.5

Everything should work normally from that point on.
