August 17, 2011
For Pro Tools 9.0 and Pro Tools HD 9.0 on Mac OS X and Windows
The updates available for download on this page require previous installation of Pro Tools 9 software and your Pro Tools 9 iLok license. See below for more information. Pro Tools 9.0.5 is an officially qualified and recommended update for all Pro Tools 9 and Pro Tools HD 9 users on Mac OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) and Windows 7. Although not officially qualified, Pro Tools 9.0.5 also adds public beta support for Apple's OS X Lion operating system.

These are some of the most important known issues, excerpted from the full Pro Tools 9.0.5 Read Me documents for Mac and Windows:

An iLok must be connected at all times while running Pro Tools.
Pro Tools requires that an iLok with the appropriate authorizations be connected to the computer at all times. Do not remove the iLok while running Pro Tools 9.0.5. If the iLok is inadvertently disconnected/removed while Pro Tools is running, Pro Tools will display a message. See page 1 of the Pro Tools 9.0.5 Read Me for complete details.

If you do not have the latest iLok drivers, the Pro Tools 9.0.5 Updater may post an error message and fail to install. If this occurs, quit the installer and install the latest iLok drivers on your computer, then run the Pro Tools 9.0.5 Updater in Repair mode.

Known Issues in Pro Tools 9.0.5 (Beta) on Mac OS X 10.7.x ("Lion")

Pro Tools 9.0.5 adds public beta support for Apple's OS X Lion operating system. Please see the Pro Tools 9.0.5 Mac Read Me before you update for important information on installing the Lion operating system and installation and use of Pro Tools 9.0.5, including the following:

Upgrading to Lion can result in the uninstallation of Pro Tools components.
If you upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.x ("Snow Leopard") to Mac OS X 10.7.x ("Lion") with Pro Tools already installed, DigiDioMIDIServer.plugin and DigidesignFireWireMIDI.plugin will be uninstalled during the Lion install.

If you subsequently try to launch Pro Tools, a dialog will appear indicating that these files were moved to an Incompatible Software folder.

To run Pro Tools on Mac OS X 10.7.x ("Lion"), create a clean Lion partition and install Pro Tools directly to that partition. Avid recommends against updating a Snow Leopard partition that already had Pro Tools installed due to the potential for Lion to uninstall certain components during its installation process.

The Send To DigiDelivery command in Pro Tools will not work with Mac OS X 10.7.x (
