I have been reading about all the problems people have with the PT products but never had a problem that was not user created. I work on three systems A TDM setup on a a Sony DMXR100 and I love that one (at work) I also use a 002 on a iMac there. At home I have a mbox on a iMac 733 with 1 gig of ram Today I just get the unexpected quit window at startup I tried all the usual stuff suggested by Digi but it makes no difference. What is odd is I unplugged the usb and the lights go off on the mbox, but when I try to start up it gets to the same spot before it shuts down as when it's plugged in. any thought Thanks
The magic bullet for me a week or two ago was Digi's recommendation to trash ALL the Digidesign Databases folders on my PowerMac G4/Digi002 system. I had a FireWire drive plugged in, two audio file drives, and four partitions on my main drive. Once they were put in the Trash (and I made sure I emptied it, too), my system started up just fine. Further troubleshooting thoughts: have you tried opening other sessions? Have you restarted? There's a known bug in which sessions that are given names longer than 37 characters will not open. That had me perplexed for half hour one night.
Did you zap the PRAM? Mac weirdness upon startup frequently is thus corrected. Restart and hold down (IIRC) command-control-p-r until it bongs at least three times. For more info, google mac zap pram.
Bender, do you have ANY cracked plug ins installed ?? Also do you get ANY type of error # or wording when it unexpectively quits ?? If so can you quote what is says EXACTLY ?? I have had the same problem, and QuickTime was the issue. I uninstalled/threw away any and all Quicktime apps/componets/etc... Then I reinstalled Quicktime, and everything was fine.. But lets find out what the error # is that you are getting, and or anything it is saying when it quits.... Hope This helps --
An easy way to test if it's a plugin causing the crash is to rename your plugin folder to something different, and create an EMPTY plugin folder. If ProTools start OK, there was a problem in one of the plugins it tried to load.
