cairobill Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm running an iMac with Logic 8.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.5 When I press record the whole shebang hangs with a rotating disc (programme unresponsive on activity manager) then 30s later recording starts. Very annoying and effectively makes my kit impossible to deal with. I have been dumping prefs like crazy and deleting plugins (like the huge and tricky BFD/BFD2 ) to no avail. Now that the whole Logic 8/ SL can of worms has been open for a while, does anyone have some guru insight that might help? Cheers Cairo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cairobill Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 And that's not all. While I can delete recorded files from my external drive, on my hard drive (which I am forced to use as i get the weird delay on the external) I get no delay, but I can't delete audio files from Logic. I get this message... "Insufficient access privileges for operation Result code = -5000" Pretty horrendous! Thanks in advance, C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Looks like your external hard drive is formatted in FAT32, which Logic does NOT like at all. Back it up and reformat the drive with Disk Utility to Mac OSX Extended. You have to choose a new GUID partition to get rid of the MS-DOS boot master. If you've never done this I'll explain it.

cairobill Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Indeed, upon checking the drive it's FAT32. I formatted another drive correctly but for some reason did this incorrectly. I will reformat asap. What is the correct procedure for partitioning the drive? Many thanks for all your help Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 What is the correct procedure for partitioning the drive? Hi Nick, You don't want to partition the drive. All you need to do is one large volume on the drive, and you can then organize your data however you want on that volume creating folders, while leaving it up to the hard drive to decide where to place that data on the physical drive. You can use Disk Utility (in your application folder, inside the utilities folder) to format your drive. Choose "Mac OS X Extended" (unjournaled). Make sure you first backup ALL data from the drive, as its contents will be wiped out by the formatting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 triplets was talking about partition schemes, but you can leave it as MBR since you're only using the drive for files (samples, projects, whatever). You'd want to change the partition scheme to the GUID one if you were planning on installing the OS on the external and booting an intel mac from it (a bootable clone of your external, for instance). http://mac101.net/files/2009/06/media-1245648274118.png So like David said, simply format it to Mac Os Extended.
