This has affected a handful of customers… Here’s the diagnosis… if user is getting problems(this includes first launch with an Ilok license error about boost::filesystem not being able to write to /tmp), files not scanning into Soundminer. Avid Update Manager erroring out, and a slew of other symptoms…it could be that Apple’s SIP(Software Integrity Protection) has locked down a tmp directory that lots of software use.

Launch Terminal in /Applications/Utilities

xattr /private/tmp

if it says com.apple.rootless

check SIP

csrutil status

If its on it’s going to cause headaches for everything and for now the only recourse is to turn it off…(boot into recovery mode), or reinstall. Details on turning it off are here
