logicscott Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi, all of a sudden my undo (command Z) doesn't work. I've spent an hour troubleshooting and can't figure it out. It is greyed out and won't let me reassign. any suggestions? Running 10.3.2 on El Capitan Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 It is supposed to be greyed out and not user definable as it's not a Logic key command but a system wide key command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicscott Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 ok, thanks. Would you have any idea why it suddenly doesn't work for undo. I've tried it on multiple sessions, new sessions, tried a different keyboard, but no success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Check your Edit menu in Logic, it should list the last action you took that Command-Z is supposed to undo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobKline Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Same issue here. It doesn't matter what action I do in logic (adding sounds...editing), I get this message. "Command not available because there are no undo steps." But, there definitely are undo steps because I just did a step. I've changed no settings and haven't tampered with key commands. Side note: When using the undo history tab, I still am unable to undo any actions even from that screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 But, there definitely are undo steps Which ones are listed? Can you provide some screenshots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 On a side note : Talking about undo (CMD-Z)...I would like to assign a switch on my midi keyboard to perform an undo but as it is grayed out in the key commands window, that seems impossible. I know that , if I recall correctly, Save, Save as, Undo and Redo can be called via an MCU. So why can this be done via a Mackie control but not via a midi keyboard? Please start your own topic, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: When using the undo history tab, I still am unable to undo any actions even from that screen. I’m having this same issue, was there ever a solution? Was this moved to another thread? My undo list is empty. My undo steps pref is set for 50. It’s intermittent, no telling when it will occur making it impossible to work since I never know if what I delete will be gone for good.

Atlas007 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 If using Mojave, might be useful to enable Logic's permission... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderfingers Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Did this ever get resolved? I have the same problem. Every so often I'll get the message "can't undo because there's no undo steps" And there was steps that I just did. This is a major issue when accidentally deleting a track or region.

sjclogic Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I have the same problem. Only started a few weeks ago. I can't even re-enter a new shortcut for undo, the whole thing is greyed out. I can't delete it, can't change it. This is really really annoying!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingzona4 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 until 2 days ago everything worked fine and I had assigned the undo option in logic pro x with my Irig Blue board, I always used the learn option behind the "Command Z" option but now it doesn't allow this. The symbol is dimmed and does not allow me to reallocate it. but again I can confirm that it worked without problem. I have blueboard more than a year ago. thank you very much for your help. Pd. You can see the Komplete Kontrol? The Z command is assigned and when I activate the logic remote app on my tablet it also appears in this same position, but I can only delete them. before the 3 elements appeared, that is to say 1. the midi address of the irig. 2. the ipad logic remote 3. komplete kontrol again many thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 If you are using different controllers, same might conflict with ine another. Checking for same in the Controller Setup window could reveal the source of your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingzona4 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Atlas, many thanks for your help, i delete de komplete controller. but nothing happend. the learn option is not active. more ideas? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg335man Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Here’s my problem the left side of my usb keyboard the command key plus Z will not work? However the right side command key with Z will. The left side works with other commands in and out of Logic. I am using Mojave lasted OSX and current Logic. Where to start crazy....

sg335man Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Should make it clear it’s the computer keyboard I refer to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
completeFic Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I've experienced this issue off and on in the past, and it just sprung up again. Restarting Logic returns the undo function to normal at least for some time until it happens (apparently) out of nowhere again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg335man Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks for your input, I am rather lost as to where to look really. Its a Logic and Mojave OS bug. At least my MacPro keyboard right side command key works? Command Z. Just have to get use to using the Z on the left. The left command plus Z is OS set in the system and it works in all other applications, go figure. Just Logic changes. I have used working backups of the whole system drive and it still does it. High Sierra and earlier Mojave. Anyway time to create and not deal with bugs....Cheers DonH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution sg335man Posted April 2, 2020 Solution Share Posted April 2, 2020 Update a new Apple Magic Keyboard fixed the command z. After so much searching and reinstalling omg whole day. I guess one should check if possible hardware. My original keyboard 2010 the keys all work but not in combination left side command z. It cost in time and new keyboard but life is good editing again.

CelticBen Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Same thing just occurred, out of the blue, for me yesterday. I restarted the iMac, and all is ok again. Some little spontaneous glitch meant to keep us on our toes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitgrl Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Has this issue been addressed and resolved? Command Z does not function in Logic X. It may work for a moment if I continually re-boot during a session. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restarting Logic returns the undo function to normal at least for some time until it happens (apparently) out of nowhere again. I have this issue as well rebooting constantly during sessions. It's frustrating and not indicative of a professional DAW...if it's pilot error I'm glad to own it but no one appears to have an answer.
