| "Spotlight" and "Dashboard" remapping required for some Pro Tools keyboard shortcuts. |
Two key commands that Pro Tools uses to initiate recording are assigned to "Spotlight" and "Dashboard," two new features introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger"). In order to use these key commands for Pro Tools, the key commands for "Spotlight" and "Dashboard" must be remapped.
To remap Command+Space:
1) Open System Preferences.
2) Select Spotlight.
3) Turn off the Command+Space mapping by unchecking the checkbox for the Spotlight menu keyboard shortcut, or by clicking in the box and choosing a shortcut or your choice (be sure you do not choose a shortcut that Pro Tools is using).
To remap F12:
1) Open System Preferences.
2) Select Dashboard & Expose.
3) Select F12 from the menu next to the Dashboard item.
4) Choose another F key or select any combination of modifier keys and an F Key.
Taken from the Read Me for Pro Tools v6.9.2 (TDM and LE) for Mac. (Item # 62625)

|
| With the introduction of Pro Tools 6.6 and 6.9 on OS X, users of some third party storage area networks (SAN) are no longer able to record or playback to SAN volumes from within Pro Tools. Specifically, with some SANs, it is not possible to designate a SAN volume as playback or record from the Workspace Browser. |
This problem affected only OS X versions of Pro Tools 6.6 and 6.9. (Pro Tools 6.7 on OS X was unaffected as are Windows XP versions.) Though third party SANs are not officially supported, this problem has now been solved, and the following releases will restore playback/record functionality with affected SANs:
- Pro Tools TDM 6.9.2 or Pro Tools LE 6.9.2 for OS X 10.4.x
- Pro Tools TDM 6.9.1 for OS X 10.3.8
- Pro Tools LE users on OS X 10.3.8 can either use Pro Tools LE 6.7 or upgrade to OS X 10.4 and use Pro Tools LE 6.9.2
(Note: Since third party SANs are not officially supported, Digidesign Customer Support will not be able to provide support for issues associated with SANs.)
The change in 6.9.1 and 6.9.2 does not resolve incompatibility with Apple’s Xsan. Pro Tools is still incompatible with Xsan.

|
| When I select any of the Tempo Operations options from the MIDI list in Pro Tools v6.7 or later, the apply button is "grayed" out. |
You must specify a length for the tempo operation to occur. If the start and the end time have the same value, the apply button will be "grayed" out. Changing either the start or end value will cause the apply button to become active.

1) Right click on My Computer > Manage > Disk Management.
2) Right click on the drive > "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
3) Click Add
4) Assign the Following Drive Letter (choose a letter from the pull down menu). The drive should now mount and be usable.
