How do I get the two to shake hands..... I am unable to get the Midi sync to setup correctly with my MPC when I try to change the settings to match my pro tools.....

I think he means the manual!!
Protools to MPC Midi Sync:
Shift+F7 on the MPC set sync in to Midi Clock
The Midi Input (Port:1 or 2) at the top of the page must be set to correspond with the port receiving the Midi clock at the back of the MPC.
In protools got Setup--> Midi-->Midi Beat clock
And enable sync for the port that you are sending to the MPC from your Midi interface/output.
Hit Play on Protools and the MPC should lock to the incoming clock.
I've found the Beat clock in protools a bit flaky.
Sometimes I have to start and stop a few times before it locks properly.
General stuff:
Most important thing about beat clock is that you should use the shortest Midi cables you can get away with. Longer cable runs can introduce interference to the Midi signal and can corrupt the clock.
Latency also effects beat clock. Set the playback buffer in protools as low as you can go in protools to tighten up the sync.

For some reason my MPC Will sync with the pro tools to press play and stop but I'm trying to get the mpc to control virtual instruments and figure out how to get my beats from the mpc to the computer this is so difficult I have tried many things but still havent got it to work yet....

i thought he was reffering to the bible.
Q: How do i sync mpc and pro tools?
a: Read Psalm 17 and then John:13 Chapter 2, they discuss the answers in them ones.

I'm trying to do the same thing with Cubase but can't get it to work (yet)...
Some people have told me I needed two midi cables. I thought I only needed on (from laptop midi out to mpc midi in).
I'll give it another shot when I get home tonight.
