Is there a solution to have a working pod farm after 2.5 upgrade ?

Hi, I can say that i'm very very fed up with searching for a solution to have my podfarm X working !

 

Like some people i have the dry problem (plug does nothing on the sound) after upgrading to 2.5.

After that, none of podfarm version work !!!!!!! Do i have to move to the old Gearbox

 

I can't find someone who as fix this problem, WHY ?, IS THERE A SOLUTION TO HAVE A WORKING POD FARM AFTER 2.5 UPGRADE ?

I've tried all the fix that i can find on line6 forum without result.

I've not reinstall win7 because it seems not solve the problem.

The uninstall option is no longer available.....

 

So, as i need it quickly for mixing in protools, actually i can see 2 solution:

 

1: The good.....: line 6 remove all the authorisations of my "toneport di gold" and give me an ilok asset for pod farm platinum (if the ilok version can open the protools plugins session....) .

2: The bad.......: I reinstall win7, i find a working non official version, finish all the mixing sessions, sell my toneport di gold and think and tell that line 6 products are just good for kids !

 

I buy plugins because i need it to work with, i hope that it was not a mistake with the line6 one !

It's been a long long time that i have this sort of problem with plugins !

 

I've spend to much time now to find a working way, i'm fed up and my clients too, so i'm very now as you can read !

I have just a little hope that you have a solution, i've tried everything i find on the forum and in your long troubleshouting page.

 

So, thank you line6 to tell me what's going on and to solve my problem (or not).

I'm sorry to have to post this sort of message on a forum but it seems that there's no other way to communicate.

    Re: Is there a solution to have a working pod farm after 2.5 upgrade ?

    I would then suggest that you use the Line 6 Uninstaller located at the location below to remove any currently installed versions of POD Farm 1 and 2:

    Windows 7/Vista - C:\Program Files(x86)\Line6\Tools - Line6Uninstaller

    Windows XP - C:\Program Files\Line6\Tools - Line6Uninstaller

    Make sure to disconnect any of your Line 6 USB devices prior to starting the uninstaller. Make sure to only check the boxes at the top of the list that are related to POD Farm 1 and 2, and proceed to uninstall them. Once they are removed, restart the computer. Upon restart apply all available driver updates for your computer's hardware as well as Windows updates, especially anything related to C++.

    -Open the Start Menu and select Windows Update.

    -Click on "Get Updates for other Microsoft Products"

    -The Windows Update screen should now appear as below. Click Check For Updates to scan for available updates.

    -Click X Important Updates are available to see which updates are available.

    -Ensure any updates referring to Microsoft Visual C++ are selected by checking their checkboxes. Then click Ok to return to the main update screen.

    -Click Install Updates and follow all instructions (including restarts) provided by Windows to complete the update.

    -Re-open Windows Update and repeat steps 6-8 until all updates for any Visual C++ packages installed on the system have been applied. Some of the updates must be applied sequentially, hence the necessity for repetition. You might even have to restart the computer several times and keep checking Windows Update in order to apply all parts of the update.

    You may reference screen shots and written instructions for this process at the link below as well:

    http://line6.com/support/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2304-21-16000/Visual%20C%20plus%20Update.docx

    After you have applied all available updates install POD Farm 2.51 from the link below:

    http://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=4147

    Install it but do not launch it yet.

    After successfully installing Line 6 Monkey and the drivers please try removing any additional unnecessary USB and firmware devices from your computer when troubleshooting this issue. Make sure to connect it directly to a USB port and not a USB hub, extension, or keyboard of any kind, preferably connect it to a USB port on the rear of computer. Try using additional USB cables and every USB port available.

    Launch Line 6 Monkey and apply any updates that are available. Once all updates have been completed, close all open applications.

    Then use the License Manager software to de-authorize and re-authorize your computer as well as all of your Line 6 devices. Make sure to remove the information when prompted to, and then install again when prompted to, this will ensure that you reinstall all of your available Line 6 assets from your account into your device.

    Try again to use POD Farm and let us know your results.
