John Dale Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 In the upper left corner of my desktop you will see my downloads. When I click them on the info reads that they are version 10.5 yet when I open them in my DAW it reads that they are version 10.4. What's happening?

triplets Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Go to your Applications folder, locate Logic Pro and right-click the icon and choose Get Info. What version is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dale Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 It worked. Thanks. Does having files on my desktop in any way slow, or interrupt, computer or software performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musician-X1 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Not sure what OS version your on but Catalina has a feature where you right click on the desktop and select "use stacks" and it will Organize your desktop...just putting that out there.

des99 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It worked. Thanks. Does having files on my desktop in any way slow, or interrupt, computer or software performance? No, not really. But it slows *you* down as it requires more time, effort and cognitive load to process that lot and locate things you're looking for, or find desktop space to put things... But some people like things organised and tidy, and others don't care so much... we're all different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It worked. Thanks. Does having files on my desktop in any way slow, or interrupt, computer or software performance? Yes, a cluttered desktop does slow down MacOS performance in my experience.

John Dale Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 I've encountered a new problem. As I was working with my DAW on a track I notice a message that said I just lost a driver. (Sorry, but that's all I can remember about the message). Anyway So, I reloaded my original LPX 10.5 download into my Applications and when I then opened my DAW I saw what you can see when ya look at the enclosed screen shot. Please help. Thanks in advance.
