Pro Tools users

I have a Powerbook G4, and Pro Tools 7.3 LE. Don't I need to upgrade it to 10.4.8 to make it compatible? And I was told not to use the "Software Update". But rather to go directly to the site and download the 10.4.8 combo?

Hello? lol, please help.

What OS are you currently running?
You can use the automatic software update. There aren't problems with it nor have i heard of any, so go for it. My powerbook G4 macosx updates automatically with no problems at all.

My studio's Pro-tools LE 7.0 however, was a pain in the butt until we upgraded to 7.3. You can't go wrong if you upgrade.

Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model: PowerBook3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1 GHz

Boot ROM Version: 4.5.3f2

Everything "unexpectedly quits" at random times. But honestly, it doesn't even do it at random times anymore. I just know what makes it quit and what doesn't now. Therefore I just stay away from it. Which really limits me to what I want to do on it. So what do you think?

You should not use the sofware updated, but download the combo update for 10.4.9 (PPC)

Have you followed all the directions on the Digi compat docs?

They give you everything that you need to make sure you have a qualified and stable running PT system.
