Patrick Beham Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I can't get a connection between Logic Remote and Logic Pro, no matter what IOS device. Logic Remote recognizes Logic Pro, but does not connect. I've tried the usual troubleshooters, I've also reset Logic. With Garageband on the same computer the connection works fine. Am grateful for any hints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Which precise versions of both Logic Pro and Logic Remote are at stake in your issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Banan Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Had the same issue with no connection and had to change my firewall settings, perhaps its the same for you. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203798 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 @Atlas007: I use the current versions, Logic Pro 10.7.6 and Logic Remote 1.5.3 @Dan Banan: Thank you for your comment: I have already worked through all this, but all the measures do not change anything. I can only assume it's Logic, since Garageband connects perfectly fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Banan Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Oh, sorry to hear that. I suppose you tried to connect with just the lightning cable already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I tried both, Lightning with Iphone, USB-C with the Ipad Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 When attempting to connect, do you see your Mac from Logic Remote, and then do you see an alert in Logic Pro that Logic Remote is trying to connect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 No. When Logic Remote was connected to Garageband before, the Garageband screen is still visible, otherwise it's just the usual grey screen with the little touch window to connect.

David Nahmani Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Wait do you have both GarageBand and Logic open at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 No, no, I never use Garageband. I only had it running to see, whether Logic Remote responded to it, which it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 I have since been in contact with Apple Support, but have not received any new suggestions for resolving the issue. Perhaps I can rephrase my problem as a question. Does Logic Pro X have a setting / possibly a bug that prevents it from pairing with Logic Remote?

Just make sure there's no checkmark in front of Logic Pro > Control Surfaces > Bypass All Control Surfaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Banan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Do you have an iPhone/Ipad in Control Surfaces Setup? Location: Logic Pro/Control Surfaces/Setup... If so, I would remove them, restart Logic, then launch the Logic remote app and see what happens. Hopefully you see this. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 @ David Nahmani: I have checked, no, I haven't made the checkmark. @ Dan Banan: I have already gone through the whole setup procedure, but neither deleting nor recreating has done anything, this with both iphone and ipad. @Dan Banan, @David Nahmani: Still, thanks for your advice.

des99 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If you temporarily create a new user account, run Logic in that, and then run Logic Remote and try to connect, does Logic accept the request then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 That's a good idea! I created a new account, and ran Logic in it. But the result was the same. Logic Remote recognizes Logic Pro on the Mac, but won't connect. Could a conclusion from this (I write this as an experienced Mac user but certainly not as a Mac power user) be that the problem is with Logic-specific Mac settings after all, and not Logic-internal settings?

Atlas007 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) For the record, what is your iPad’s model, and its currently running iOS? Could you post a screen capture of your Control Surface Setup window, when trying to pair your iPad Logic Remote app?

Patrick Beham Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 This is my Iphone screen, but Logic remote on my Ipad behaves no differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Ok that looks normal, then at that point you should see the following dialog in Logic Pro: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 I know, the dialog appears, when I open up GarageBand (for testing purposes), but it doesn't in Logic. The connection wheel (on the IOS-device) keeps on turning for a while, without effect, an then it stops. I can try it again, but still, it does the same. Yesterday I had the idea, there might be a connection of the problem with my wifi amplifier (I hope, this is the right word), as my Macbook recently developed problems with it - but with the amplifier switched off Logic remote still doesn't connect.

Yes and I don't believe that could be the issue if Logic Remote connects as expected with GarageBand. However it could be that the version of Logic Remote you're using is not compatible with the version of Logic Pro you're using (although I would assume you'd get an alert stating so)? But just to check: What Logic Pro version? What Logic Remote version? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 I understand your point that the wifi is not the problem. My current versions are for Logic Pro X: 10.7.7 and for Logic Remote 1.5.3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 With Logic running, and Logic Remote running, click on the gear icon in the top right corner of Logic Remote. You should see your computer name listed there. (Maybe with a tick by it). Click on it, and see whether it reconnects. Click again on your listed computer device if necessary in the window that comes up. If still no joy, have both GB and Logic running, and try this - see whether your computer is listed once for each app, because you are supposed to be able to switch between running apps this way.

Patrick Beham Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 If I understood you correctly, I have already tried that. Logic Remote will look like the attached picture. GarageBand connects automatically, Logic Pro does not, even after several attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current versions are for Logic Pro X: 10.7.7 and for Logic Remote 1.5.3 Ok so same versions as me and it works as expected here, so at least we've ruled out any incompatibility between versions. Have you tried to trash your control surface preference files (assuming you don't have any other control surface or controller assignments on your Mac)? Quit Logic. In the Finder, hold down the Option key while you click the "Go" menu and choose Library. In the Preferences folder, trash com.apple.logic.pro.cs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you click on the top Logic one, and it tries to connect, but nothing happens at Logic's end. I'm wondering if the notification has been supressed perhaps. Can you add a Logic Remote in the Control Surfaces Setup page manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Beham Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I have now carried this out. I had an Akai Keyboard connected, it was now deleted in the setup menu, but automatically reconnected. As for Logic Remote, I tried it with and without cable, it does not connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
