Does using Onyx for rebuilding spotlight clear out the metadata cache and rebuild it totally from scratch as well?

I have no idea as I have always reset/rebuilt Spotlight indexes manually rather than using a utility such as Onyx.

Maybe someone else would know?

By manually do you mean removing and then dragging the volume back (in system preferences) to be indexed?

[fisherking]

Anyone else have an AppleTV? Logic is popping up a dialog box every few minutes say "Logic is scanning for audio devices and found Apple TV. Would you like to start using it?". It's driving me crazy and I can't find anywhere to disable this behavior.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I have this same problem. It's driving me crazy also. I posted on the apple forums but I don't see many people having the same issue. I can barely get anything done.

don't have an apple tv, but...what about turning off wifi (or unplugging ethernet)? perhaps try this...

LOL...i'm usually plugged in to ethernet, but lately, working in another room, and, with wifi on, getting the same thing. AND i don't have an apple tv. minor nuisance, hopefully fixed in...9.1.8?? since logic X is an imaginary app from the future...

I have done it that way on occasion but I actually meant via the terminal method i linked to earlier... because sometimes the spotlight indexes seem to 'act up' and using the rebuild only method you described, doesn't always work correctly.. leading to mds and mdworker routines going haywire... and using up all the onboard memory.

Ok, I'm ready to report in.

I received my 15" Retina MacBook Pro with 8GB Ram, 2.3 i7 CPU, 256 SSD drive and Lion 10.7.4.

First order of business was to get a final backup my stuff off the former 13" MBP and prepare it for movin' over.

I wiped Lion off of the rMBP and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion 10.8. Took all of 8 minutes. After some disc to .dmg file creations, I installed my Logic 9 on the rMBP and it wouldn't open. Duh!, it was the 9.03 disc image. Once I did the Software Update and got the 9.1.7 patch, it opened....and whoa, did it open quickly. Since I don't know enough about the plug-ins, etc, I don't have anything to report on that. In running my music projects(I run in 64-bit), nothing crashes, nothing overwhelms the computer and shuts down. It simply works....and works like a bolt of lightning.

The 15" screen real estate is nice, but Logic really sped up tremendously on this SSD drive. I shelved Logic for a while because GarageBand did alot of the basics that Logic seems to require multiple steps on. With the improvement in speed in LS9 and the improved screenage, I'm ready to dust off my Logic Pro Training Manual and start diggin in some more. I really think the author of that manual is a cool guy.

As far as Mountain Lion itself, there are a few annoyances that I hope 10.8.1 will address, but the speed on the Retina MBP across the board is something I only dreamed about before. Can't wait for the Logic Retina Display update since it will prolly come before Logic X.

Thank you for the clarification : )

Hi guys sorry this may be a bit of a silly question but when you say rescan your audio units why exactly and how do you do that!?:) thanks

[TerryReis]

Did a very cautious (backed up) install of ML.
No problems at all with latest version of Logic.
Had to rescan the plugins in 32 bit mode but that was it.
Tried hard to break it since but everything seems fine.
Amplitube, Apollo Duo, UA Powered Plugins (6.3), Kontakt 5 all running as well as they were before.
32 bit bridge not crashing anymore than it was before.

8 Month old iMac with SSD and 12 Gb Ram.

For what its worth no problems with anything Adobe, Microsoft or Parallels (update to latest version) either.

Cheers,

Terry

That's really cool.
So if you open a Mixer window on one screen and the Arrange on the other screen and go to full-screen mode you see the the mixer in one and the arrange in the other?

After full-screen the Arrange window you need to cmd+2 to call the mixer to the other screen... works nice.

Logic is stable on both machines here. Only issue and I cant remember if it happened on lion is the cursor kinda freezing.

[Ashermusic]

So far so good, except a couple of logins remembering the username/password got lost.

Anyone know ehre in the Time Machine backups I can find them?

Check out the keychain and see if they are in there.... and then recover from backups accordingly.

This article should help..

Ok everyone!
I have moved a bunch of posts about the Unresponsive Logic 9.1.x + 10.7.x & 10.8.x to the Logic Studio Bugs & Workarounds forum.

Please keep this discussion in one place. It is much more valuable than cross posting all over the forum.
Any more posts about this issue here will be deleted.

I find it weird,
I have a 3.1 Mac Pro running ML 10.8.1
I get the dreaded AirPlay scanning.
I dont have Wifi enabled, but am connected via Ethernet.
Also have an Apple TV, (off).
AirPlay is in my sound settings, also shows up in Logic output preferences.
I dont however have anyway of disabling AirPlay.
Grrr
I use Daw Remote HD, OSC does this too, you need a network connection.
A simple, right click, to disable AirPlay n Logic and or Sound Setting?
Then if you want to enable, manually enable.

Keeps scanning this, I assume anytime I watch a movie on AppleTV

Hello,

I don’t know if this was already mentioned as I haven’t read the whole thread, but basically here’s an issue I have:

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, the mouse icon is often wrong in Logic. Sometimes it should switch to a hand, or a pen, or scissors, or anything else, depending on what tool you choose or where you hover with the mouse. I find this a bit annoying to be honest, although it’s not much of a big deal.

But sometimes I would be stretching regions or looping regions (by dragging the end) and I never know if I can drag or not, as only the default mouse icon appears, so sometimes I would end up moving the whole region instead of stretching or looping it, simply because the little brackets don’t appear.

See if this helps.

Mouse pointer not changing after ML upgrade

Thanks man!

Thanks man!

Don't mention it.

ok- so I might move up to Logic 9 soon and I am still running x.6.8. I noticed David finally moved his production OS from x.5 to x.7 and I'm curious about moving up in the OS world. Don't really know the difference in features and don't really care, just curious about stability and system demand.

I'm still on an old 3,1 MBP w/ 2.2 C2D +4 GB RAM. thoughts? I *could* read through this whole thread and over on macrumors but... a quick "thoughts on" from those that troubleshoot would be super cool ^_^

Bob,

If you want stability, stick with what you have.

If you want to update to Logic 9 to take advantage of its features, go with 9.1.7 and Snow Leopard 10.6.8, which most people (including myself) find very stable. Just the other day, though, I updated from 9.1.5 to 9.1.7 and ran into myriad problems which made me immediately allergic to 9.1.7. (I've since downdated). The only nice thing about 9.1.7 was the multi-core offline bouncing. The crashing and instability wasn't so nice. That said, I know enough people running 9.1.7 on Snow Leopard that I'd vouch for it all the same.

Apparently 9.1.7 and Lion get along nicely. I recently worked on such a system and it was a bit snappier in its operation than mine (again, mine being 9.1.5 and SL 10.6.8). With Lion, however, certain things about the OS (like scrolling) work in reverse from what you might be well used to already.

But if you're into doing science experiments, ones that has every potential to invite aggravation and periods of wasted time into your life, go with the latest version of Mountain Lion and 9.1.7.
