Hi ernest. Having the same prob you’re having. Same error message. Same OSX & version 7.3 Pro-tools. Can’t re-install tiger over leopard either. Apparently each OS is machine specific. Will call the Macbook Pro retailers tomorrow & see if they’ve got any ideas. And Digidesign while I’m at it. Checked the Digidesign site. Found a notice buried in there somewhere that says Tools versions 6 through 7 will not work with leopard OS.
Dammit.

hey pat pourri I think I’m having the same problem that your having for some reason I can’t seem to get protools working it says the the device is being use by some other program or it is not installed , I just wanted to know if anyone has had the same issue with osx 10.5?

Leopard 10.5 sux with Pro Tools 7.4 or 7.3, it just doesn’t work. Either does my lexmark lazer printer…..

I’m with Chris. Leopard will not recognize the reinstalled driver (OS X 10.4.10 – Intel). That’s the most recent Ozone driver on M-Audio’s site.

@Chris : I’ve got an M-Audio Axiom 25, which is recognised in 10.5, but not in Logic Pro. To be fair though, I only just bought it, so I don’t know if it worked with 10.4 or whether I haven’t configured it correctly!

My M-audio Ozone keyboard is no longer detected under 10.5 on a 1.5Ghz Powerbook. I did an archive and install, and reinstalled the drivers (says 10.4.9 PPC) but nothing.
Just going to echo Jason and say hold off until there are new drivers and you know stuff will work.

If the primary use for your Mac is doing audio work, you have ZERO reason to upgrade immediately. None. Nada. Zilch. Your operating system exists solely to run your audio apps, drivers, and plugins. Don’t mess with your operating system unnecessarily. Wait it out and let others work through the issues first.

Driver compatibility is really far more likely to be the issue than applications, so odds are you won’t have app-by-app issues. That’s part of what’s implied by the Digidesign certification — Pro Tools itself may be fine, it’s the hardware. Ditto other platforms (if a little quicker, generally).

Part of the reason we were dealing with application compatibility on Vista, by comparison, was that we had an overhaul of the graphics model, higher-level APIs apps do interract with, and (importantly) user level access at the level apps interact with. And on OS X 10.2, 10.3, and 10.3.9/10.4, there were changes to Core Audio and Core MIDI — not nearly as radical, but still requiring support for certain things. I don’t think there’s anything quite like that in 10.5
