HELP!! Since upgrading to Mac OS x 10.3.2 my Pro Tools sessions won't open!

Can anyone please help me. I was running Mac OS 9 and Pro Tools 5.1 on my Mac G4. I needed to upgrade to add a new piece of equipment. So I was told to update to Mac OSx 10.3.2 and Pro Tools 6.0. Since doing so, when I try to open my Pro Tools, it opens, but when I try to open a new session, I keep getting a small screen that says I must restart my computer. AFter restarting and repeating the above, I get the same message over and over. I tried updating to Mac OSx 10.3.8 and the problem is still occuring. Can anyone out there give me some advice on what to do next??? Thank you!!!

Hi Susan,
I dont know what the specific issue is but will try to be helpful anyway.
If this were my problem the first thing I would assess (preferably from Digidesign) is - is PT 6.x known to be compatible with Mac OSX 10.3.x ?
Once this hurdle has been cleared, and assuming that the compatibility is there,
then I would want to know if your install/upgrade to 10.3.8 is 'clear'. Meaning, you've run Disk Utility *from the Panther Retail install disk* and DU is showing no errors, either with Permissions or with "Repair Disk". The logic being an app cant be expected to work right on top of an OS that isnt even healthy.
Next, you say PT launches. You seem to imply that either:
a. File/Open/sessionX
or
b. 2x clicking a session
causes some kind of window to appear. Is that a PT related window or OSX type window ?
Does the window occur with either a. or b. above or with only one method or what ?
Can you do a "File / New ..." and not see the window appear ?
Best,
Chris

HELP: just upgraded to Mac OS 10.7.3 and InDesign CS5.5 keeps crushing upon opening

Hi - Indesign CS5.5 stopped working after I upgraded to mac OS 10.7.3. It was working fine before the upgrade... It keeps crushing during the launch. Photoshop seems to work fine but the same thing happens when I try to open Illustrator. I reinstalled CS 5.5 suite but to no avail.
Here are some info from the crash report:
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'launch path not accessible'
*** Call stack at first throw:
I don't know what this means since I'm not that tech savvy... Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I thought I deleted it by using app zapper but could it be that some parts didnt' get deleted? idk...
Any time you choose to use a third-party software removal tool instead of the vendor's own process, you run a risk of it failing in subtle and annoying ways. Generally speaking, you're better off without tools like this.

Since upgrading to OS X Yosemite I can't run pro tools LE

I up graded my i Mac to run on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
Since uploading I have discovered that my pro tools LE is not compatible with this new operating system.
How can I address this?
Can I uninstall OS X? If so, how do I uninstall?
Cheers,
Shaughno

Have you checked for an update to the program?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
Revert to former OS from Mavericks
Revert to Snow Leopard
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 and 10.9, I cannot open newly downloaded pdf files. Please help! Thanks.

Hi,
Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to firstly, 10.8 and then, 10.9, I have not been able to open new pdf files on either Preview or Acrobat Reader.
I can still open previously downloaded pdf files but not new ones.
I can still open new pdf files online. However, when I save a pdf to my computer, I cannot open them anymore.
I upgraded to 10.8 a couple of weeks ago and then accepted a free upgrade to Maverick (10.9) this morning. I was hoping that by upgrading to Maverick, I would be able to open pdf files again but alas, that is not the case.
I really need to open pdf files as a matter of urgency as I do this on a daily basis. I am not a computer whizz so if anyone can help find a simple yet effective solution to my problem, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

When I try to open a downloaded pdf file, I receive this message:
"It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
Yet, when I try to open pdf files downloaded whilst still using Mac OS X 10.6.8, they open as normal. So what is the problem, please?
I have deleted Adobe Reader and re-installed it. Yet, it follows the same pattern as above. The same is true of Preview. It's really frustrating because it means I can only open new pdf files using Safari (so I have to be online to do this). I need to be able to open pdf files when I'm offline as well.
Thanks.

Since upgrading my Mac OS 10.9 and Mavericks, I am unable to open App Store and other problems.

My computer has gone haywire since upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 and adding Mavericks. Mail was a big problem with my not being able to read messages, but now there has been a mail upgrade to solve that. However, still cannot open App Store from my Dock and cannot open Software Update from the apple menu. Lots of other screwy things going on and Apple seems of no help to try and resolve these issues. Anyone with similiar problems or issues?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2L , recurring error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist...etc."

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion, on MacBookPro, recurring (every minute or so) error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network conneection, and then try again." (The server specified is no longer connected or used). The error message must be clicked twice to continue to work on the computer. Time Machine is switched off. No external disks are connected. Keychain entries for "servername" have been removed since the problem arose. Is there any way to prevent this error message?

I am having the same problem; have tried deleting some of the plist files as others suggested but to no avail. Tried turning off time machine - that didn't fix it either. Very dispappointing.

I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected. At least that happens with my camera. Good luck.

Thank you PatriciaBruhn unfortunately the error is a bit generic. The best I can offer would be for you to try the steps listed in Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-f reezes-mac.html. These are generic troubleshooting steps and are great when the exact cause of the problem is unknown. I am not sure if the time and effort of going through the steps will be useful though as you may still run into difficulties. I might also suggest trying Photoshop Elements 10 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html or Photoshop CS5 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html and seeing if either one of those fit your needs. Depending on what you use Photoshop 7 for you may find that Photoshop Elements can do the job plus have additional capabilities not even thought of during the time of Photoshop 7's development. Both Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop CS5 have a minimum system requirement of 10.5.8 so as long as your system meets the remaining requirements then they should work fine on your computer.

I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work. What can I do??

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

Help to upgrade to Mac OS X From Mac OS 9.2.2

Hi Mac World
Some years ago I parched from then the company (XLR8) an upgrade MACh Speed G4z w/MVP™ CPU ZIF 500 MHz Doughtercard for my Mac Blue and White G3 OS9 to upgrade it to a G4 with the same OS9. (Now upgraded to OS 9.2.2).
Now I would like to upgrade to Mac OSX and need some help.
I am still running my Blue and White Mac OS 9.2.2 G4 500 MHz with 100 GB hard drive and one GB memory with a CD not a DVD Drive.
Is it possible to run Mac OS X on my system? And what Mac OS do you suggest Panther / Tiger
Rayric

Hi rayric,
your computer is compatible with 10.4 "Tiger". However, you should check about the compatibility of your processor upgrade card: User Reports Database on Macintosh CPU Upgrades.
Before you upgrade you will have to get the Tiger install CDs through the Media Exchange Program.
Then make sure you upgrade your firmware: Mac OS X: Chart of Available Firmware Updates
Be aware that your computer is quite slow and the experience will be limited. Some features of MacOS X (both 10.3 and 10.4) will not be available (e.g. Quartz Extreme).

Lost Mailboxes since upgrading my Mac

How do I retrieve my mailboxes. I used the migration assistant and the mailboxes were
transferred when I upgraded my Mac but all the Mailboxes were empty
where do i find them on my old Mac?
Can anyone assist me please
Thanks

Hi Graham. You’re welcome.
It remains unclear what the situation is here exactly. In particular, what was the version of Mac OS X on the old computer? If it was Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or earlier, that would explain what happened (see below). If it was Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), however, then the problem would be something else...
The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problem. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Take a look at the following article (also referenced in the thread I mentioned at the beginning of this post) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8 I can't connect to a smb share on Windows Server 2003r2

Hi recently i upgraded from Mac OS 10.5.8 to Mac OS 10.6.8 on a 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro 1,1.
Prior to upgrading to 10.6.8 i had a viable connection to a Windows Server 2003r2 which hosts Pre-press client and all out work files as well as client applications. Now I can not connect to the server. I can ping the server. I can connect to another SMB share on different Windows Server 2003r2 that is our secondary server, but i can not connect to the primary. The Client software is associated with data base tracking the data.
This share does not show up in my volumes but I have a Max Host File with the share defined.
Can anyone come up with a solution to this. I have contacted my support for the Server 2003r2 Client software but they don't have a solution beyond clean installing the computer.

Please help to upgrade my Mac Pro

I am a graphic designer. I start doing freelance job at home. I do a lot of photoshop work. I read on this and other forums to learn how to upgrade my Mac Pro. I am not a tech person at all. Please give me advise.
1) I need to have a backup system. I am thinking of OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro. But how can I connect this to the airport extreme and my Mac Pro as a backup and storage drive for both computers? My Mac Pro has no airport card, and the extreme has only one USB port which was connect to the printer.
2) I need more memory. I only has 2 GB now. They are 4x512 MB located at Riser A. I am thinking to buy the memory from OWC together with the external hard drive.
3) After I do my back up on my Mac Pro. I will upgrade the OS to Snow Leopard. Should I also add another internal hard drive? I only have 250 GB on my Mac Pro
Thank you.

Your Mac is 4 yrs old. Sure you want to invest in it? for someone beginning to do a lot of work in CS4 etc.
