BredeK Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I know this is a question many people have asked, but mine has a little twist. You see I can't get Logic to open in 32 bit mode on my late 2009 Macbook, but on my iMac it works out just fine! They both have Mountain Lion so at first I thought that was where the problem was, but when it works on one computer it should work on both. Im sick of the 32-unit Bridge so please help as fast as possible! Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What happens when you try to open it? At what point do you see Logic stop opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Right after everything in that little Logic Welcome screen is done. It says Checking MIDI Drivers and then boom, a flash and a bar saying "Saving" and then it crashes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It says Checking MIDI Drivers and then boom, What do you have in your Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers folder? It would also help if you added what you're working with to your signature: Forum Rules - please READ THIS before posting (#5) J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'll be sure to add that to my signature! But this is just on my macbook, so its just a regular logic pro 9 with a pair of headphones from sony! In my MIDI Driver folder theres an Emagic USB Midi driver plugin, should i try deleting it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Can you open Logic while holding down the Option key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yes i can actually, but when i try opening a project it crashes. Even tried opening a project while holding the option key, even though that probably didn't make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sounds like you're trying to open a corrupted project. Once Logic is open, can you choose File > New, open the "Empty Project" factory template? Can you start new work in that project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 still wont work.. i get that blue/white flash and then a "progression" bar saying "saving". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 At what point exactly do you get the flash and the progression bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 right after the "welcome window thing" says Checking Midi Drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 now i see that it actually loads a few other things very fast right after the Checking Midi Drivers text! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 right after the "welcome window thing" says Checking Midi Drivers But.. you just said: Can you open Logic while holding down the Option key?Yes i can actually, but when i try opening a project it crashes. So when trying to create a new Empty Project from the New Project dialog, do you still crash? At what point exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 sorry for the confusion! but when i open logic while holding option key i can open it, but not a project from the new project dialog. It just opens logic and i can access preferences, au manager and so on! What i meant by the "right after checking midi drivers" thing was that it crashes after that when im not holding in the option key. But if i hold down the option key and select new project nothing happens for a few seconds and then the flash comes along with the "saving" bar. Thank you for all your help btw!

David Nahmani Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 if i hold down the option key and select new project nothing happens for a few seconds and then the flash comes along with the "saving" bar. Ok. I'm still unclear as far as WHEN exactly you get that few seconds wait and saving bar: is it when you choose File > New? Or do you get a chance to get the new templates dialog, but then the issue is when you click on "Empty Project"? Also, any chance you could post a screenshot of that saving bar?

BredeK Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I get it after clicking Empty Project. So the new project dialog comes up with no problem if i held the option key down while starting up. It is after clicking Empty Project it crashes...

David Nahmani Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The funny thing is, Logic should not have anything to save after clicking "Empty Project"... so I'm not sure exactly what Logic is trying to save. OK kind of a shot in the dark but have you tried trashing your Logic preferences? 1) Quit Logic. 2) Hold Option as you click the Go menu in the Finder and choose Library/Preferences/ 3) Find com.apple.logic.pro.plist and drag it to the desktop. 4) Reopen Logic. If that didn't help, quit Logic and place the com.apple.logic.pro.plist file back in the Preferences folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredeK Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 That didn't work im afraid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Another thing I would try is to temporarily remove all your AU plug-ins from their two component folders: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ and Your-user-name//Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ (hold Option as you click the Go menu in the Finder to access your user library, then audio, plug-ins, components). Move them somewhere safe (I create an "Unused components" folder at the same hierarchy level as the "Components" folder. The Mac disregards that folder so it's just a placeholder for me to test Logic without 3rd party plug-ins with an easy way to restore all those plug-ins).

BredeK Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Didn't work out.. You dont think it might be a CPU problem? That when i load a project it crashes and the saving bar that pops up is some sort of autosave thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well the problem is, we've detemined that the issue occurs even when you're not trying to load a project. I mean the Empty Project is an empty factory template so there's nothing in that project that should make the Mac crash, and Logic does not have any kind of auto-save.... So really I'm not sure what could be going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishansson Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well, prior to Mountian Lion you could try these steps to see if it is, in fact, related to your processor or kernel. But since 10.8 has removed the 32-bit kernel, it's a bit hard to do when limited to homebrew sources. Have you created a test user account and tried opening a project?
