I've just upgraded to Tiger (Not sure if that's related) and I now get this error when I load up any of my Pro Tools sessions. I havn't changed anything else...still the same setup as I've had for a year now.

I'm getting this error: audio files are on volumes unsuitable for playback

this is my setup:

Mac G4 400MHz
Digi 002 (desk)
Pro Tools 6.9
2 internal hard drives
* 80gig HD with Tiger os10.4 system and all apps.
* 80gig HD is my Audio drive with all my Pro Tools sessions.

So i'm gathering thatis not recognising my Audio drive as a suitable drive for Pro Tools . even know it's always worked.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Chris

Here is some usfull info: (doesn't work for me asi'm on PT LE- looks like i'm back to Panther for now)

From the digidesign website:

Digidesign® Pro Tools® TDM 6.9.2 software brings support for Mac OS X 10.4 (“Tiger”) to Pro Tools|HD® systems. Now customers who purchase Macintosh computers shipping with Mac OS X 10.4 installed and those who want to upgrade existing Power Macs to OS X 10.4 can enjoy full compatibility with Pro Tools|HD systems.

Pro Tools TDM 6.9.2 software also includes firmware updates for ICON D-Control™ and D-Command™ worksurfaces.

U could try this too..

Hey there..
I had a similar problem where i could not record enable the tracks. It said 'Cannot designate volumes'. I fixed it by changing the volume properties in the workspace to record from playback for audio n' video.. Maybe urs is set to 'transfer' only..
Hope that helps..
