Reinstall DP8.06 from DP8.07

Post by Aaron Guidry »

Hello,

I upgraded to 8.07 from 8.06. Disaster!

So, I reinstalled 8.06 from the Full.pkg file. I then repaired permissions. But, now when I open DP, 8.07 is still opening. How do I get 8.06 to open and be done with 8.07?

If it's a matter of trashing preferences or deleting certain plists, please be detailed in your reply!

Thanks!

Aaron

Are you opening from an icon on the dock, or actually double clicking the DP 8.06 app? Pretty sure DP now overwrites the previous version.

Both the app and the dock are opening as 8.07.

I right click the app to get info, and the info says 8.07. Where is 8.06?! It said the installation was successful.

And, where are DP Preferences now stored? I don't see them in the Library>Preferences folder.

Not sure about the preferences as I'm not at the studio Mac. Maybe try a Spotlight search for "Digital Performer" and see if it can locate another DP install. If so, get info, and see if it's 8.06.

I've managed to fully delete 8.07 via an AppCleaner. Re-installed 8.06. Boots up fine.

But, loading certain projects in 8.06 still crash. They did not crash prior to loading 8.07.

8.07 is now gone. 8.06 is current. Error message says it's Mach5, but I've changed nothing with Mach5. Not sure why things were peachy until I downloaded 8.07. Even going back to 8.06 has not fixed the crash issue with certain projects. Bleh!

Sorry! Someone else with more insight will have to join in. If so, you might wanna post the crash log.

I'm just guessing that maybe Mach5 had something changed via the 8.07 install.
Did you find the DP preferences?

Found the prefs! Trashed them.

They don't seem to be back though after reboot.

I'm a bit lost on all the behind-the-scenes folders and whatnots of DP. Wish I knew because my projects are not opening with Mach5 installed. If I remove /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/MachFive3.component, which looks like it removes Mach5, the project opens. But, of course, Mach5 is not available for playback.

So, I reinstall Mach5 from the Installer.dmg. Everything goes as-planned with installation. But, again, certain projects crash. These are projects that I have recently opened prior to downloading 8.07.

UGH!!!
