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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Voice over Wireless with Cisco phones 7921 and 7925

    Hello experts,
    I made an wireless audit for a company.
    They have 2 WLCs 5508 in HA mode, with APs 2602 for indoor and 1552. Version of the WLC : 7.6.120.0
    At the end of the day we noticed that the roaming between indoor and outdoor access points is sometimes failing and results to a complete disconnection of the wireless phone (7921 or 7925) from the network. When people go from the indoor to the outdoor area, there is no problem. The problem comes when people are coming from the outdoor to the indoor.
    Also, on the WLC, the power lvl of the outdoor APs are set to 1 ... Is it good or not ?
    My question is, is there any known issue about Voice over wireless with WLC 5508-7.6.120.0 with APs 2602 and 1552 ?
    Maybe it should be better to upgrade to 7.6.130.0 ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alexis

    Normally yes.
    Is there a way to troubleshoot what's going on with the phones ? Maybe a "show client detail MAC address* on the WLC ?
    Here are some logs when the phones are losing the network :

  • What is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    what is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    Voice Over doesn't need someone to type in the text first. Voice Over works with specific screen displayed information so that a blind person can know where his/her cursor is or what is being displayed. Although it is an application of text to talk it's more than the text to talk feature.

  • 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.

  • MAC Voice Over: Why does the screen view lag behind the voice over audio?

    MAC Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
    When using voice over on a MAC with DE 1.8 - most times when paging thru a pdf file/book the voice and the view are inconsistent.  When using VO -  moving to the next page with the right arrow key - the audio starts to read the next page (correct), but the display is one page behind (not correct).  For readers - especially those that have significant visual impairment  - this will not work for them.  Is this a defect - and if so - I would be very happy to re-test this feature if a new revision of DE 1.8 is provided.
    I am unsure this is the correct forum to raise issues such as this one.  I am in the process of evaluating Adobe DE 1.8 - my sister is blind and I am trying to move her to a MAC with VO.  I really appreciate Adobe's effort in supporting JAWS and MAC VO - thank you on behalf of all disabled folks out there.
    Below is a detailed list of steps to re-produce this audio/screen inconsistency issue.
    - Install DE 1.8 and add to the dock
    - Add a pdf file/book to DE 1.8.  For my issue, I am adding the "Voice Over Getting Started" guide. 
    - Turn on Voice Over - Cmd+F5
    - Using VO - Go to the dock and select DE and start it.  The "Last Read Book" typically is the focus for the VO cursor.  Then using VO next item (VO+right arrow) - move the VO cursor to "Library Content Table".  This is the list of books that are displayed in DE.
    - Using the up/down keyboard arrows - move up and down thru the books in the content list.  At this point - you should already see that the VO audio announcing the title of a book is not synchronized with the row in the table that is displayed.  The voice is announcing a book that you selected, but the display is showing the previous book. 
    - Once you hear (not see) the book you want to test with, hit <enter>.  DE will open the book and start to read using VO.  At this point the screen and audio for the first page in the book are the same. 
    - Once the book has been opened by DE - Using the right arrow key navigate to the next page in the pdf/book.  Normally the right arrow key is the short cut to allow a user to move forward or backwards thru a book, one page at a time. 
    - With DE and VO - what happens is that VO responds to the right arrow key and starts to read the next page.  But the screen is still showing the previous page.  Hence the screen and the VO audio are out of sync. 
    - For anyone that uses MAC VO - this will prevent them from using Adobe DE 1.8.
    If I am doing something incorrect - please let me know. If you need any assistance or further information regarding this issue - please email me. 
    Best Regards
    Mike R

    hi, Mike R:
         Thanks for your information. We have tested several Mac machines, iMac and MBP (use the same version as yours). But we can't reproduce the issue. Actually working with VoiceOver is a fundamental request for our application, we did test them before releasing the build.
         We suggest you test other applications, e.g. Finder, Preview and iTunes, to make sure if VoiceOver works fine with them. Or can you please check if your VoiceOver settings are correct?  

  • 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.

  • Beige G3 with Pro Tools Freezes Every Time I Use PT (why I have the G3)

    Please, if anyone can help....
    I GOT my beige G3 running which had died and refused to reboot when last I had tried running Pro Tools. I GOT Pro Tools 6.1 reinstalled and running... and then when I was back in Pro Tools again on my newly-running system, I tried to "Save Session Copy" (including saving audio files), it froze. It seems whenever I ask Pro Tools (specifically, haven't had this problem with ANY other memory-intensive program) to do something even mildly memory-intensive, it freezes. Not just the program freezes, the whole computer does. And once again, the computer then refused to reboot. I tried running First Aid and Repair Permissions and so forth booting from the OS X.2 CD. No dice. I erased the 7.8 gig section (the bootable section) of the hard drive. Tried to re-install the OS. It freezes mid-install every time now. Didn't used to freeze (though always bogged down a bit from time to time). Then I tried erasing the WHOLE 120 gig disk (while weeping bitterly) and re-partitioning the 3 sections (as a Mac-person-who-knows-more-than-me instructed me to do- - was the only thing that worked- - the first section being 7.8 gigs) and reinstalling the OS. Still freezes when I try to install. I have to move the mouse around frantically just to keep the computer from freezing while erasing the drive (this actually works- - moving the mouse around).
    I tried putting the 3 sticks of ram in different order- - they worked fine before- -the 3 sticks of RAM collectively add up to 600-something- 1 stick of 128 and 2 of 256 or whatever that amount is- - the 2 were originally bought for a "stripped" blue and white I had bought, but the blue and white makes heinous buzz-beeping sounds when I tried to run it most recently, though it worked for a while before. Also, the beige worked fine before with these same sticks of RAM installed, but this seemed maybe memory-related so I thought I'd experiment...?
    Anyway, I have A LOT of extras plugged into this thing. The one that acts the most buggy is the TDK DVD-R drive I installed a couple years ago. The model is "Indi" something or other as I recall. It has always consistently done this weird thing where, after booting the computer, if you eject one disk (it will only eject if you drag to the trash) and insert a second disk (since booting), it will not allow you to eject the 2nd disk until you reboot again. If you drag that 2nd disk to the trash, the CD icon disappears from the desktop as though it's been ejected, but the drive does not physically eject. I just put up with it, because I could deal and there had been so many other issues, and everything was working, this seemed like a non-issue by comparison.
    I am also running a PC monitor via a small adapter (not a card). I have a USB PCI card going (which the mouse is plugged into)- never had a problem, but now sometimes the mouse freezes on startup too and won't move and I have to force-power-down with that button on the front as if it didn't boot properly. I have an Audio Media III PCI card in there (for Pro Tools). I have the monitor card in there, but don't need it for this machine. Was trying to test if it worked-- last I tested, it didn't-- I should obviously just pull it out.
    Anyway, I'm having a ** of a time getting the OS back on there, and even if I do, once I put Pro Tools back on (the point of doing all of this and using the machine at all), it will likely freeze again and I'll be right back where I am right now. If I can even get there in the first place.
    Please please please help...
    Blue and White G3   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Conventional wisdom for installing 10.2 Jaguar is to strip the machine back to the minimum Apple might have shipped in it, Install the OS, then add your extras back in.
    Memory seems to be a big issue -- I suggest you use the free DIMM First Aid under Mac OS 9 to scan your DIMMs and be sure they are OK for your Mac, and not too slow:
    http://www.mactcp.org.nz/dimmfirstaid.html
    I have found 10.3 Panther much simpler and more pleasant to install (even if you had to use XPostFacto 3.1 to do it) than 10.2 Jaguar ever was.
