I did a clean uninstall and same results. Im 18 and about to get a deal with jive records, but cant finish my album to obtain the dealbecause of this. I dont know what to do.
When I am loading up pro-tools le mini2 it freezes on structure dpm. And it ask for authurization code. ??? Can I get some help.
Hi, I just recently upgraded to the PT Le 8 program and found upon load up page it freezes. My OS is Leopard 10.5.8, can anyone help me with this? Thanks
Pro tools 8 le is not compatable with 10.5.8. I have tried reading every form under the sun so I know how you fill. I have the same computer and software. I think we need a new mac with the right chip set.
I recently upgrated to a 003 rack and would like to buy the right mac. I have got to get it right this time. All Ears!!!

Hello. I just upgraded my Mac OSX10 to 10.6.8
(Snow Leopard) but it killed my pro tools version 7.1.1…so I ordered a version 8.0.5
Pro tools to be compatible…but the install
on that system won’t open after it says “Install”
completed. Do I need to have an interim pro
tools version (like7.4) before it will open ???
Help !! Can anyone help ??
You know what?… Quit wasting your time with Pro Tools and Buy Logic Pro 9…. trust me, you’ll be a lot happier.
I have an authorization code, but no where does it say how I enter the code. What’s with tat ??
