Right click / get info / sharing & permissions / click the lock to unlock / change privileges to read and write for all users. Also make sure there are no illegal characters in the drive and folder names... ? £ / etc Chris __________________ PT MAC Troubleshooting... http://duc.avid.com/showth

Backup Info:I have installed and updated my relatively old-school MBox ProTools system onto my new MacPro (standard, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1234946?start=0&tstart=0 2x 2.66 Intel with 2GB Memory). While trying to start a new session with ProTools I get the error message that a "Session Must Be On An Audio Record Volume". Checking the Digidesign support pages I was told to change my standard 250GB Mac HD from a Transfer Volume to a Record Volume.Here is my MacPro question:When I try to change my HD from Transfer to Record I get an error message saying my HD "cannot be designated as an Audio Record volume pro tools because it is not a valid audio volume". I see all of these posts from people who have ProTools running successfully in their studios, how do I convert my HD to a valid audio drive like I assume all of yours are?

By the way, Pro Tools runs much better if you use another drive besides your boot drive for audio. I highly recommend buying an external or if your MP has another drive in it without all the applications on it, use that.

NEVER use the boot drive when you have four internal drive bays, use those for data, scratch, media. The less you force the boot drive to do double and triple duty the smoother everything runs.
