Missing Pro Tools Plug-Ins

[AKG414]

I recently upgraded to leopard 10.5.3 and Pro Tools LE 7.4.2pr. Having done so I installed a Producer Factory bundle that i had purchased. I went about registering/transferring the plug-ins to my ilok etc. When I launch Pro Tools, the loading screen says that the plug-ins have loaded, however when I add an audio track etc, the Producer Factory plug-ins (Maxim, Cosmonaut Voice etc) are not shown in the drop down insert menu, I can only select the standard digidesign/bomb factory plug-ins! Any advice??

The plug ins have to be in this folder:

MacintoshHD>Library>Application Support>Digidesign>Plug-ins

But the installation process should put them there automatically, have you installed the RTAS versions and not the Audio Suite ones?

Check to see the authorisations are active on your iLok account too.

I would assume this to be a problem with plugin compatibility with the un-certified version of protools.

My plug-ins survived the installation of !0.5 on my iMac, but you are correct, LE is not rated for !0.5 as yet, and that might be the problem.

Digidesign have announced the OS X 10.5.3 Leopard compatibility for Pro Tools 7.4.2pr software.

Important — Please be aware that some currently shipping plug-ins and virtual instruments are not compatible
with Pro Tools running on Mac OS X Leopard and some require that you update your plug-ins if an update is available.

Though on the website the Digidesign plugins have been given the all clear and no update required.

Best bet is get onto the http://duc.digidesign.com

Cheers for all the replies, but the problem has been fixed. It seemed that the installation disc that I installed supplied old versions that were out of date compared to the lastest PT software i was using, so i just downloaded the latest versions from the digidesign website and that solved the problem. Thanks again.
