If it's new and in warranty then Apple will fix the problem. If you are within 14 days of purchase you can return it for a replacement, no questions asked, or have your money refunded. Once past the 14 days Apple will repair or replace it at their option.

Logic 7.1 compatability with Pro Tools Mix?

Hi,
Can I import audio or open a file from a Pro Tools Mix session, and if so, how? I'm sort of confused as I thought that Logic could open and save as SDII. Am I wrong here?
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the quick response; however I think I may not have been specific enough. What I'm trying to do is to open some songs that my band recorded in a local studio. They are on an external hard drive, and when I go to open or import them, the 'open' button on the bottom of the Open File Dialog is unavailable. I can see the song names, track names, fade files, etc. What I can't seem to do is to actually access the audio itself.
I've spent a good deal of time with the Reference Manual, as well as the Apple Pro Training Series by Martin Sitter; obviously there's some basic step I'm missing.
Sorry to not have better explained it the first time, but I was starting to think that I was just trying to accomplish the impossible.
thanks again,
Jim

I am considering updating to Mountain Lion. Have checked the website Roar for compatibility with other software; some OK; some have yet to be tested. When will that testing be done?

I am considering updating to Mountain Lion. Have checked the Roar website for compatability with my existing software; some are OK, but Bridge and Picasa said to yet be tested for compatability. When will this happen?

Hi, can anyone help with the problem I am having with pro book 4440s? I can't boot into windows 7.

Hi, can anyone help with the problem I am having with pro book 4440s? I can't boot into windows 7, nor can I enter the bios cause i fogot the password. the error I am getting says "windows failed to start. a recenr hardware or software change might be the cause. it then gives me options to boot from a disc but I can't do that cause I am unable to get into the bios to change it to boot from a disc.
The error message goes on :

the only two options on the screen are enter=continue and ECS=exit
I just can't get pass this screen.
Please help.

Hi,
If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD. Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
Windows 7 32bit
Windows 7 64bit
You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, or if you already have this, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Insert the Rescue CD. Select Boot options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter. You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
When loaded, select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt. When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.
Bootrec.exe
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting the notebook.

Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
Thank you...

PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

HT4623 how do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone ios 6.0.1 software. The computer will not recognize the phone.

How do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone ios 6.0.1 software. The computer will not recognize the phone. I reinstalled itunes, but it still does not work.

What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.

How much real world difference would there be between the 1600MHz memory of a 4,1 Mac Pro and the 800MHz memory of a 3,1 Mac Pro? My main app is multitrack audio with Pro Tools. Thanks so much.

How much real world performance difference would there be between the 1600MHz memory of a 4,1 Mac Pro and the 800MHz memory of a 3,1 Mac Pro? My main app is multitrack audio with Pro Tools. Thanks so much. The CPU speed of either one would be between 2.8GHz and 3.0GHz.

What are the differences.... firmware and build, there were tweaks to the PCIe bus itself. As a result 3rd party cards and booting is better.
Support in 5,1 firmware for more 56xx and W35/36xx processors. Also memory timing.
The 4,1 was "64-bit boot mode optional" and 5,1 was default. I don't know if there are changes but I assume so, even if it is not reflected elsewhere or in version number.
I don't know what the prices are but 2009, to buy one today, when the 2010 is $1800.
The 2008 of course was test bed for 64-bit UEFI and it sure seems even Lion and then ML are not as well engineered - outside of Linc who would be the least likely to have a problem.
I would assume 2010 has better support for 8GB and even 16GB DIMMs as well as for 1333MHz.
Nehalem family had only come out in fall 2008 and a lot of work went into making improvements well past 2009.
If you remember, there were serious heat problems with those and 10.5.7+ up thru 10.6.2 even with iTunes, audio, and hyperthreading and cores hitting and staying in 80*C range. That I assume was both poor code (sleep does not mean poke and ask constantly) as well as changes in SMC and kernel improvements, to work around. Microcode can be patched in firmware, kernel, by drivers and by code, but it is best when the chips and core elements don't need to be.
If someone is stretched, and can get 2009 for $1200 it might be a fine fit. That year offered the OEM GT120 which isn't really as nice and matched for today both OS and apps that rely on a GPU. And for odd reasons two such 120's don't work well in Lion+ but that is probably minor. Having the 5770 is just "nicer" though.
There are some articles about trouble booting with PCIe SATA/SAS/SSD and less trouble with 2010. Also support for graphic card and audio I think was one of those "minor" 5770 related support issues. But shows some small changes were made there too.
I wish someone would come out and pre-announce DDR4 + SATA3 along with PCIe 3.x (for bandwidth and more power per rail) along with say Ivy Bridge-E socket processors was going to be this summer's 3 yr anniversary and to replace the 2010 designed motherboard. But that is what is on Intel's and others drawing boards simmeringn in the pot.

DOES MAC OSX 10.6.8 WORK WITH PRO TOOLS 9HD?

I'VE UPGRADED MY OPERATING SYSTEM TO OS X 10.6.8 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PRO TOOLS 9HD EVER SINCE. IS ANYONE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND ARE THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS? IF I NEED TO GO BACK DOWN TO OS X 10.6.7 TO RUN PRO TOOLS, HOW WOULD I DO THAT. BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS, IS THERE ACTUALLY A COMPATIBILITY ISSUE WITH OS X 10.6.8 & PRO TOOLS? AND INFORMATION OR KNOWLEDGE ON THE SUBJECT MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Is mac voice over compatilbe with pro tools 10?

I have a new 17inch macbook pro with Liion, and I just purchased adn installed Avid Pro Tools 10. I'm wondering if Voice Over is compatible with Pro Tools 10.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If your Mac shipped with 10.5.2, no.
If your Mac shipped with an older operating system, it depends.
According to http://www.digidesign.com/ you need a Mac with Tiger to run Protools LE. Check with them which version of Tiger it will work with.
Then check this article to see if your Mac can run that version of Tiger:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303315
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
If it can't, sell your Mac, and get a used or refurbished one which can.
Once you know your Mac can run that version of Tiger, if it is an Intel Mac, make sure you have the original Tiger installer which shipped with the Mac, as the retail Tiger installer will not work on the Intel Macs. Once you have discovered which version of Tiger works, backup your data at least twice*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
and Erase and Install Tiger on your Mac. Archive and Installing Tiger over Leopard does not work. Your other option is to get a Firewire external hard drive and install Tiger on that. http://www.macsales.com/ sells such hard drives. You can also partition your existing hard drive to have both Tiger and Leopard on it by erasing it with your Leopard Disk Utility and using its Partition function when booted off the Leopard installer, and selecting Disk Utility from the Utilities menu of the Leopard installer. Restore your documents to your hard drive from the backup when done. Applications may need to be reinstalled after an erase and install using the registration codes of the said applications.
See my FAQ* here on how to buy used and refurbished Macs:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
And in the future always check the compatibility of the software you need before upgrading your operating system.

Please be aware that Mavericks is not supported with any Pro Tools system as of May 2014, there are a number of issues that make Pro Tools unstable. If you are buying a new computer Mavericks will be the supplied OS.
Please get advice from your Pro Tools authorised reseller and from the Pro Tools community discussions on your specific system from folk who know and use Pro Tools inside out.

Can I use a mac pro early 2008 w/10.6 with pro tools 9 Native,

thinking of ditching pc for a mac but all my research is telling me, rather than a late model mac pro upgradeable to mavericks (not tested for pro tools), my ideal setup would be an early 2008, mac pro with 10.6. currently using a lenovo desktop with 3 motu 2408 and the 424 pcie card with pro tools 9 native and reaper 4.57. works for me but since tasting mac I would like to explore the possibilties further. i had the opportunity to set up a system for a friend who purchased an imac 21" a presonus 24.4.2, and pro tools 10 he's using half the ram I have, but his system works like a beast! I;m not the imac type so, I feel a mac pro will help me expand my power base greatly and advice on mac pro options is appreceiated....

As you know, there is no 10.6.8 disk, but one can clone 10.6.8 into a late 2011 MBP (from an external HDD). Niel mentions a 2012 model, you are the one who speaks of 2011 MBPs. That is why I directed the comment to you.

External Hard Drive & Problems With Pro Tools LE

Alright... my friend has the same computer as me, Powerbook G4, with the same specs and everything (OSX 10.3.9), and has a Digi 002 Rack with Pro Tools LE 6.2.2 He can record and playback everything perfectly through his Lacie 150 GB external HD. However, when i installed the software on my laptop and tried to load the same files he was working on, i get an error message that tells me that the audio files are "unsuitable for playback" and that the Lacie HD is "not an audio playback volume", which it really is!! The only way to get the songs to play, is to copy all the files onto my internal HD... then it all works fine. (besides the fact that is uses up all my memory!!!) Is there any way to fix this problem?? Some update or driver that i'm missing?? I'm assuming it has something to do with my laptop software/hardware??? ALSO, i run Final Cut Pro, and it won't let me set my external HD as the target disk, because it is, again, unsuitable for playback!!! I have to import tapes to the internal, then send them to the external after the fact! really annoying....
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

How big is the drive? It's possible that Spotlight indexing is running and slowing things down. If you are unplugging the drive when you run into problems, the indexing will never complete and will start again the next time you plug in the drive. You can exclude the external drive from being indexed in the Spotlight system preferences:
You might also want to use Disk Utility to check the disk for errors, especially if you've been unplugging it while activity has been going on.

Various crash with Pro Tools HD

Using my G5 Late 2005 with Pro Tools HD, during playback the system crash. No kernel panic. Force shut down. After forcing shut down the computer will not boot, no sound chimes at startup. After 5 minutes the computer boot up, but crash again only for trying to copy a folder to an external disk. Run hardware test, everything is ok! Running disk utility some error found. Boot the mac with the OS X dvd; repair the disc. Boot again from the hd. Run disk utility and some errors found. I think this is an HD problem. Anyone?

Backup and clone your system, and of course make sure you have another hard drive to boot from. Buy Disk Warrior to repair your drive.
Your DVD is older than the installed version so it isn't ideal.
Old drive that needs repairs
Backup and recovery drive
Small emergency partition with just Mac OS and Disk Warrior (20GB if fine)
New hard drive to replace the old drive - use the older drive for backups after full format.
Force shutdown = creates corrupt directory and more trouble than you had or that triggered the freeze/crash to begin with making matters worse.
Most problems are just the bits on the hard drive and not the physical drive, meaning it can be repaired, or bad sector mapped out, or reformatted, and not really a HD problem.

FCP5 conflict with Pro Tools

FCP 5 will not launch with Pro Tooles LE 6.4 installed. I've seen some posts talking of Pro Tools plug in conflict but no solutions.
Any ideas?

Having a problem with Pro Tools and Quiktime may be the cause. Need advice.

I recently installed Pro Tools recording software on my Mac and everytime I try and open the program I get a kernel panic "restart" screen. I have been told that it may have something to with my Quiktime version.
I am running
OSX version 10.4.7
Pro Tools version 7.1
and Quiktime version 7.0.4
Could this be my problem? thanks

A fax file is simply a TIFF file. If you converted it to a PDF (you did not give any info on your workflow), then you have a graphic. The conversion to Excel will also be a bunch of graphics I guess. You would need to run OCR first. Even then you may not get the column information and may have to copy column by column using alt key when selecting the text. That allows you go copy a column.

Dose the macpro 13 inch compatable with pro tools?
