Troubleshooting
Backing up your work
It is highly recommended that you back up
your work on a regular basis, and especially
before making changes to your system con-
figuration.
Back up your session data
Back up your session and audio data fre-
quently. There are a variety of media that
are suited to back up projects of various
sizes, from automated tape backup systems
to high-capacity optical drives, to desktop
CD-R burners.
The best way to back up a session is to use
the Save Session Copy In command to save
the session file and all of its associated files
to a new location.
Back up your system setup
Macintosh Back up your System Folder be-
fore upgrading your OS.
Windows Create a system recovery disk after
you have finished configuring your system
and installing software. This is more useful
than a recovery disk for an unconfigured
system.
Common Issues
Pro Tools software won’t
authorize
(Macintosh TDM Systems)
Problem:
You are unable to authorize Pro Tools TDM
software on a Macintosh Blue & White G3
using the authorization key disk.
Possible Solution:
◆ Check to be sure you have the latest ver-
sions of the Imation floppy disk drivers and
the Pace Floppy Enabler, which are re-
quired for authorization of Pro Tools TDM
Software on Blue & White G3 computers.
The latest versions of these drivers are auto-
matically installed on applicable Mac-
intosh models by the Pro Tools Installer.
If the disk drivers and enabler are not in-
stalled in the proper location, use your
Pro Tools Installer disc to install them.
