Hi Brian,

Some Pro Tools 11 owners have had problems linked to how OS 10.x handles preferences and the overwriting of the older files.

It seems the old files have stayed in place and are blocking the new 3.3 files from being read by Pro Tools.

One client got it working by trashing his Pro Tools Preferences...

- Go to your HD/Library/Application Support/Avid/Plug-ins folder and manually trash the older PM plug-ins. The error is caused by the fact that both old version as separate PM-xxxxxx.aaxplugin and a new Plug and Mix folder are conflicting.

- Trash the Plug and Mix preferences as well.

- Repair permissions using the Disk Utility app (found in Applications/Utilities).

If you look up the AAE error -7054 you'll see it has to do with Pro Tools seeing multiple folders of a manufacturer's plug-ins.
