Pro Tools 6.0 Install Help Needed...., Pro Tools for Mac OS X Options

[pdiddyod]

Hi,

I just received the Pro Tools 6.0 for Mac OS X this morning and am trying to install it (I have a Powerbook G4 Titanium 667 mhz with 512MB Ram and an Mbox).

After installing the software from the CD, I try to load Pro Tools 6.0 but I get an error message "Unable to create DAE deck." Then PT just quits. My system doesn't freeze-up or anything, just the PT stops loading. I have not installed any of the included Plug-ins. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. Also, I've tried re-booting after install.

Any helpful suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time!

I have the same exact setup--PB G4 667/512MB. But note that OS X 10.2.3 is the real minimum system to use for PT 6 LE. I'm using 10.2.4 with fabulous results. However I remember having to uninstall the first attempt for something like what you saw. The second install has been fine with my new Mbox. Unplugging and replugging the Mbox was also for me the other key factor. Simple! With Pro Tools 6 LE/Mbox and Sibelius 2.11 I have at last replaced Digital Performer, Finale and OS 9.1 on my old Power Mac! The dream has become reality on Mac OS X. I hope the same for you.
