ProTools software not liking 10.3.5?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

What? I've got ProTools 6.4 running under 10.3.5 on ten LE stations and
three TDM stations. It's been like that since September. I've also got
6.4 running on 10.3.5 at home on an LE system. It's all been running
smoothly. What kind of "problems" exactly? The only issues we've had
have been with Norton Anti-Virus being on the same system (which we took
off).

6.1 and 6.2 are not authorized for 10.3.5 so it's a weird question.
Maybe that's where these rumors came from....somebody trying to run the
wrong version of software under the wrong OS.

Cheers,
Trevor de Clercq

10.3.6 is notoriously bad, BTW, not just for ProTools. FYI.

how many machines do you have and how did your tech set them up?
(they are yours?)
most of the problems you are describing are set up problems or operator
error!!!
there are classes... and books.
(owners manual...digi support)
maybe after you fuse the roger's......

Actually, the Mac has a concept called the half-click (click-and-hold
without dragging, typically 1/2 second), that PCs don't use (why not I
don't know). If a program doesn't recognize this as a right-button
click, the holding the Control key while clicking does it: exactly what
a right-click in windoze does. And if that's not good enough, get a
Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical - the best thing Microsoft makes and it's
the best mouse in the world. I has two buttons and a wheel, and as far
as I can tell, all programs recognize its right-click as you'd expect,
even without installing its driver (which is only needed for the
wheel-click).

In short, you really don't need a second button at all, but if you feel
you need it, spend ten bucks.
