I have recently upgraded from Panther to Tiger and LE 6.4 to 7.0. Although performance has been significally boosted, Pro Tools often crashes for no obvious reason. There is also some other weird behaviour, like the edit window stopping displaying changes until you re-click on it, or a record-enabled track not recording unless you switch it off and on again. I'm thinking that perhaps some of my plugins need upgrading too, but could it be this that's causing all these problems? Has anybody experienced the same, or does anybody have any ideas of how to solve this? (Lousy digidesign site doesn't seem to mention anything, but in such a chaos I might just have not seen it)

Thanks.

Check your permissions, they may be amiss as you upgraded.

I'll look if there's something similar to your problem around…

Permissions have been checked...

Sometimes it runs smoothly, sometimes it goes crazy....

Well it's not something I can't tolerate (I've already become used to saving after every important change I make) but it is just weird...

There's a new update on the digidesign site for PT 7 if you're using 10.4.4 or 10.4.5...those were just recently qualified for use.

Before adding the update, you might want to re-install PT from scratch. Something obviously went astray when you upgraded. You can download OnyX and run the maintenance scripts to clean up your system as well.

Mhmm someone went faster Thanks for the news Monkeyboy

Thanks monkeyboy.

Sadly I can't yet install 10.4.4, it has a problem with Greek languge support (which is provided by a very lousy Greek company, not Apple themselves, one of the main reasons why apple sales suck in Greece), but perhaps I'll dump the Greek anyway...

I have followed your advice and re-installed, but I have yet to put it to serious testing to see if it works OK.

What is OnyX? I've been using System Optimizer X so far...
