doris5000 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Last night I fired up an old project. Logic told me I needed to resave it as a Logic 10.5 project, which I did. Did some work, hit save, went to bed. I definitely saved it - I even bounced down some audio to the 'Bounces' folder and imported it back into the track. Let's call the files 'OldProject' and 'Oldproject - lpx' Today - schrodinger's project! It's not in the 'Recents' menu when I open Logic. It's not in finder either - only 'Oldproject' is there. There's nothing in the 'Bounces' folder from last night. Nothing on my time machine. BUT! Right click on the Logic icon in the dock..... and there it is! 'Oldproject - lpx'! Left-click to load the project? No dice. Then, right click on the Logic icon again, and select 'Show all windows' - it's there again, but where all the other projects have a little screenshot thumbnail, this one just has the Logic logo. Has anyone come across this before? Could my hard drive be corrupted? It was only a couple of hours work but I'd rather not lose it!

des99 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Where did you save it? Go to that location in Finder, and have a look at the project, and see if you can open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doris5000 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 It's not in that location! In the folder, there is only 'Oldproject', and no evidence that 'Oldproject- lpx' ever even existed. The audio that I bounced out last night isn't there either, and if you look by 'last modified', finder says there has been no activity since 2015. The only evidence that it did exist, is found by right-clicking on the Logic icon in the dock, where it's listed as a 'recent project'. I'm flummoxed. I even recorded some audio in from an external synth. I wondered if I might not have read/write permissions on that folder for some reason, but it isn't that. It also isn't in the Trash...

Eriksimon Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Have you done a simple Finder search? cmd-f? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doris5000 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Yes! At this point I've recreated my work from the lost project. But I'd still be interested to know what happened to that project, because I wouldn't want it to happen again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Did you look at where it got saved when you saved it again? The most likely scenario is that you either saved it to an unusual location, or that you somehow trashed it and emptied the trash - or that you saved it to an external disk that is no longer connected.

cleamon Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Is it possible that the 'Oldproject - lpx' logic file is inside the 'Oldproject' folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
