triplets Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Are you using a custom template? If yes, the template could be corrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplets Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Any peripherals connected? If yes, disconnect all and turn on one by one to find the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpl Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 I don't think it's those as it loads up fine ,loads songs fine its just new that does it. any way thanks for the help,i have to go now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpl Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 I have now done loads of tests: unplugged peripherals.repaired permissions,disk warrior tests,loaded up with no plugins/audio,trashed pref file,ran in 64 bit,removed templates. all didn't fix. after looking at logs ,it seems to be hanging at thread 30! I then set logic to "choose template" and found that logic hanged(if thats the right tense).this is the only clue i've found.I then booted mac from an ext disk with logic and it behaved properly! I'm now running out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 not a fix, just a workaround, perhaps. make a copy of your template (the original is in Home>Library>Application Support>Logic>Project Templates). store the copy somewhere easily accessible. if you double-click it, does it open? or...?

mpl Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 I did try reupdating 9.1.7,and i was thinking of reinstalling logic, it looks thats my next option.thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 as always, proceed with caution, back up everything in advance. or...just open your template FROM the template, and be glad things aren't worse!... up to you of course...

n6smith Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Couple of observations that may or may not be related....... I know that when 9.1.7 was released a few people (including myself) noticed that certain templates (including the default ones provided by Logic) 'vanished...' and while they were still present in the template folder they didn't show up in the template section itself, in Logic. Never did work out quite why but i am wondering if they changed something, or introduced a bug in 9.1.7 that caused this.. and other issues with opening templates from within Logic. Some people also found an issue with opening projects by simply clicking ion the project outside of Logic which would then start Logic but cased weird crashes.. If the opening the project from within Logic via the File/Open project method.. it loaded fine. It sound like your default template has become corrupted... or you saved over the default template with one of your own.. or it's loading a different template (which is also corrupted) to the original that came with Logic.. so.. try restoring the original blank template or create one yourself from scratch and then save as template to fix the issue when you open Logic. You can also change Logic's behavior by using it's prefs and either tell it not to load the default template when it starts.. or tell it to open a blank project... by changing the Startup parameter in Prefs/General Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
