Tons of trouble with Logic Studio since day one

Logic 9.1.5
Os 10.6.8
Issue 1:
I haven't touched logic in months because I've hated the fact that I had issues with it to begin that no one could ever solve. My first issue was that certain instruments that were installed couldn't be opened. I was greeted with a message saying something along the lines that that instrument couldn't be found. I had installed everything fresh on an external drive. All options that could be installed on a second drive were installed there. I dont remember the exact name of the issue/error because its been months since I've even opened logic cause its been nothing but a problem for me. I did hours of googling searching and only found one thread of people having the same problem but ended in the guy saying his tech support dude was gonna talk to him and it never go resolved.
Similar to issue one:
There's supposed to be 6 jam packs, but only 2 of them show at the bottom of the Library list. I believe they are: Jam Pack Voices and Jam Pack World Music. I looked up the location of where these jam packs are supposed to install and all 6 of them are there in folders.
Issue 2:
I would LOVE to get this fixed, but I don't even know exactly the issue anymore, so I've kind of gotten over this. I recently opened logic after not touching it for months, after a huge update. I now have this annoying midi issue. It seems as if the midi is CONSTANTLY being triggered on whatever track is being highlighted. But the sound is all distorted. I might be about to shoot a video for you guys to see if that helps. Ive only got 3 peripherals. An axiom 49 midi controller, a presonus faderport, and a m audio fast track ultra 8r...all of which I turned off and unplugged and still had the problem. It happens on old sessions and new sessions. As soon as an instrument is selected, it starts triggering it and cutting into whatever being played.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME if you have any clue on how to resolve either of these issues. I've done SO much research and have found nothing. I only gave up on logic because I haven't ever gotten it to work correctly. When I did mess with it, I enjoyed it. I'm a pro tools guy who wants to expand his options, but this is really causing me to never touch it again.
Ill report the specific error name to the first issue when I see it again. It happens when I'm searching through sounds, Ill go to click on one and itll just pop up saying something about it not being found, or exs24 sampler can't be found or something like that. Though I installed them all on the hard drive...everything. Also, I have tried re-indexed my logic library like everyone suggest and nothing has changed.
If you can help, please do so. If this is in the wrong section, I apologize now.
Update to Issue one:
This is the error message I get one clicking on certain instruments:
"EXS24 instrument "Fingerstyle Electric Bass.exs" not found."
This error happened on my old macbook white and my brand new imac which logic was freshly installed on. Thats two separate systems both exhibiting the same issue. Even on a NEW iMAC! I wonder why no one else is having these issues.
P.S. I copied and past this from another forum on the net (gearslutz) because I wasn't getting any help or suggestions. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. I can post video clips of any of the issues if anything is unclear.

Update on Issue 2:
I'm actually starting to believe its related to my Faderport. I initially tested to see if it was the problem by unplugging it while logic was on and the problem still occured, but I closed down logic and unplugged it, then started it back up and it seems to be working fine as of now.

I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

This may help you: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
It would appear that you can ask for an exchange but it doesn't specify any time frame... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add to this.
By the way, if you've replaced the drive so many times, perhaps there's something else going on elsewhere.

How do I get the Korg NanoKontrol to work with Logic Studio?

I just bought a Korg NanoKontrol control surface to use with Logic Studio but it isn't working right. I can get the faders and pan to work in one scene but the transport controls don't work in any scene. If anyone knows anything about how to get it to work please let me know.

Hey Scrooge, why the attitude? Did anyone here mistreat you? And why hijack the thread?
Anyway, if you loose settings minutes after they worked, I would say the hardware may be shaky. Or the cabling. Or the operators' skills.
Ambient8 has gracefully and concisely pointed the way, and if something is not working just describe what and how it is, instead of complaining (on somebody else's thread) to people who voluntarily try to offer help & solutions.
Ambient8:
+"Pay special attention to "Assigning Key Commands to Control Surfaces" on page >164+
+The rest need to be set up as a control surface by using the Learn (Command+L) function to assign faders to tracks and knobs to pans, etc.+
+See the Logic Pro 8 Control Surfaces Support guide in the Help menu for info on controller assignments. Chapter 2 "Customizing Controller Assignments" has the info assigning controllers to Logic Pro parameters."+
If you say I did exactly as described on these pages, and all your settings seemed to disappear, I can only assume that either something is wrong with your Logic prefs, the logic.cs file or the CS itself.

Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times,mans it still doesn't work.

How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

What is the best external typing keyboard for use with logic studio?

I'm currently using Logic 7 and looking to upgrade to Logic STUDIO.
I want to get a nice typing keyboard with coloured and customised keys (short-cuts) to use in place of the MACBOOK keyboard.
I have previously bought the stickers from Editors keys, but there key command sets suck.
Hoping someone can suggest a better company offering a better product with more intuitive key command settings so that it matches well with LOGIC STUDIO - assuming its been simplifed with its work flow, I want a typing keyboard to match.
Also is it worth gettinga jog wheel to use in place of or in addition to a mouse - I think this is called a shuttle.
Anyway please send your suggestions through.
Thanks

I believe that there are keyboard overlays for Logic available for the Apple Keyboards... although, I don't think there's anything for 8 yet, seeing as the release probably took them by surprise.
However, I do agree that using a wireless keyboard and mighty mouse are must-haves... at least in my studio. They allow me to work at my piano and control Logic from a distance (I don't like assigning MIDI commands, outside of my control surface). However, I do with that Logic would recognize the presence of a Mighty Mouse and allow assigning the remaining button presses to other features in Logic, like showing the floating toolbox while the right-click handles the contextual menus.

I have a mid 2007 iMac w/ mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. My time machine (LaCie) is not responding through firewire port (since day one). Did an update mess this up?

I have just recently realized that my time machine has not backed up in a couple of weeks. I am using a LaCie external hard drive that I purchased with the iMac and has been plugged into the firewire port since day one. When I try to establish a connection it only gives me airport utility. When I look through network connections it shows that my fire wire is not connected or at least it doesn't find anything connected.
I have also been getting a start up disk message off and on that I need to close applications due to no more memory? (or something similar to that).
Just curious what might have changed. Did an update re configure something? Are these two issues connected?
I have always loved my Mac for the fact that it just always worked. I'm not super savvy with computers and the settings so I'm not the kind that just goes in to tweek things. This is the first real issue that I have had with it. I would think that it was the fact that I upgraded to lion but I did that quite a while ago.

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

QT and iTunes unable to run since day one!

Hi everyone,
I'm desperate for an answer I cannot sleep! This problem has been around for some time but now it is time I face it.
Since day one when I bought this Acer notebook, after installing some basic programmes like Microsoft Office etc, I cannot run quicktime nor itunes after installing. The installation went fine, but they crash every time I open them. Neither can I open Quicktime in control panel.
I cannot uninstall both qt and itunes as well. The uninstaller will quit unexpectedly in the middle of loading.
Also I cannot move, rename nor delete mov files. So they are stuck there I cannot modify them.
I have been using some Quicktime Alternative codecs I found on google to play QT mov, but now I need the QT plugin for Combustion and After Effects.
Can anyone with any fixes help me out please? Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot for replying!
It is because QT and iTunes didn't work before that's why I went installing the alternative.. I removed the QT alternative nevertheless, QT and iTunes still crash when I open them.

I have iPad mini. Siri's microphone icon comes on. I make request, absolutely nothing happens, never has since day one. What is wrong?

Hello,
I'm sorry you're running into problems with your system. It sounds like you might have multiple issues going on, but to dig deeper we're going to need more specifics. Here's a good post that describes what we'll need and how to generate crash logs:
How to report a crash with Flash Player
In addition, you might want to consider either reverting back to a previous version of Flash Player, see this page for archived versions, or installing our latest Flash Player 11 RC release.
I'm not sure what is going on with your pdf files, but I don't believe it's Flash Player related. Can you take a screenshot of the blank window that is appearing? That might give us some clues on what's going on.
Thanks,
Chris

Should I go with Logic Studio or PT LE Maudio?

1st I can get Logic Studio for $250 from apple friend.
With Maudio PT LE Academic I can get it for $149 and also get digitranslator (go figure) to score to picture.
The first thing I do is songs, therefore Digi LE (a rip-off I know) but has a great drum machine Strike.....
I've tried them all, addictive drums, BFD, EZDrummer, you name it I tried it. And the cool thing about strike is the one key board change and it round robins to never sound the same and can be very inspirational.
Second I do sound design and have scored for trailers, so maybe the STUDIO (logic 8) down the road!
What do you think?
Thanks.
Please no apple bias, just looking for a good answer!

I dropped PT like a bad habit years ago. The reason, besides not being very user friendly, was that it took them forever to come out with an upgrade for the new Mac OS at the time. Since then, I only use apple DAWs for Apple machines because I know it is going to work.

Is there really a tutorials DVD with Logic Studio?

Hi there. I installed Logic Studio a couple of days ago and so far its going great. One questions I had is about the INSTALLING YOUR SOFTWARE booklet that came in the box. On page 2 about halfway down it says;
"Logic Studio Demo Songs and Tutorials DVD: The DVD contains a collection of demo songs and video tutorials for your Logic Studio applications. The disk is also a DVD-cVideo, so you may view the tutorials using the DVD player application or any compatible, stand-alone DVD player."
I can open up and play the DEMO files just fine (the roots, plaid etc) but I am not able to play any Tutorials with the "DVD PLAYER" application on my computer.
Other DVDs (like movies) play just fine and of course I was able to install Logic Studio so the DVD drive itself works fine.
Any thoughts? Am I reading this wrong? Has anyone found the Logic Studio tutorial videos that come in the box?
Thanks,
Morris

From the Late Breaking News document:
*Corrections to the Logic Pro Documentation*
The following section contains information on errata in the Logic Pro documentation,
resulting from changes made to Logic Pro after the documentation was completed.
*Tutorial and Content DVD Is Data Disk Only*
The Logic Studio Demo Songs and Tutorials DVD described in the Installing Your
Software manual has been renamed to Logic Studio Demo Content. It is a data disc
only, and cannot be played on a DVD player or in a DVD player application.

Using Digi 003 interface with Logic Studio or Pro

I currently have a modified (Black Lion Audio) Digi 003 Rack interface that I use with Pro Tools, but would like to get Logic Studio (or Pro). I have heard 50% say that the Digi 003R or Mixer won't work (properly) with Logic and I have heard another 50% say that it works fine. Can somebody please end this debate once and for all, so I can make the big $500-$1000 decision. I'm really itching to get Logic so I can use all of its great features. I would like to hear that it works fine, but if not, I'd rather know the facts before wasting my money. Thank you to anybody who can put this question to rest.

Lets clear up some things - Logic Studio comes with Logic Pro. . . so that's $500. Logic Pro 7 is old and you don't need it anymore, it WAS $1000. So, no need to spend a grand on Logic.
Next, 003R works absolutely fine as an interface with Logic. The mixer won't work as a control surface (although it will work fine as an interface) because Digi's control surface stuff is proprietary and isn't made to work with Logic.
So, to sum up - Logic Studio is Logic Pro 8 and a ton of other apps and its only $500.
003 Rack works fine with Logic.

Not able to install Logic on mac with OSX. 10.8.2. Error message: Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported. I have logic studio 8 software purchased in 2007 and upgraded with logic studio 9 (purchased in 2009)

After an earlier attempt to move Logic from my other mac (OSX 10.6.8) with the migration assistant to my new mac with OSX 10.8.2. I've re-started the whole start up process by erasing the hard drive from the new machine and build it up from scratch. After a new "out of the box" start, I decided to install LOGIC from my disks : starting with my 2007 package Logic Studio 8 and upgrading with my Logic 9 package from 2009. When trying to start to install 2008 I got the error message : Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported.
What does this mean? HOw do I get this working under 10.8.2 as it works flawlessly under OSX 10.6.8. For sure I didn't buy a new machine to have OSX 10.8.2 but I suspect this is the roadblock to installing my logic package.
Help!

Mark,
Sorry...
I completely lost the thread (I actually got confused between you and another poster on a another forum that was asking the same basic question) and somehow ended up thinking you were trying to install on a PPC Mac
My apologies and please ingnore those parts of my last post relating to the PPC Macs...
You have an Intel Mac and therefore Logic Studio 2 Boxed Upgrade set should install/run on your Mac without issue. As I said earlier.. you do not need to try and install from the original Logic Studio 1 /Logic 8 Boxed set...(It won't work anyhow because you have an Intel Mac and that version had a PPC installer) but just install from the Logic Studio 2 / Logic Pro 9 Upgrade Boxed setof DVDs instead...
Have you tried the "Make Disk Image" solution I gave earlier? That normnally works under such circumstances as what you are describing can happen when your DVD drive cannot read the DVDs correctly... I have had this situation myself where one drive read them okay and another failed to do so for whatever reason. Making and then installing from Disk images of those exact same disks resolved the issue for me...
You can try to reinstall directly from the DVDs of course though under some circumstances it may not allow you to reinstall Logic Pro itself if that part of the original installation attempt was successful... in which case you can also try this... (It's probably the easiest method if Logic 9 was already installed and present in your Apps Folder)
If the Logic Pro App is in your applications folder..
Run Software Updates to update Logic Pro to a version that will run under 10.8.2 (The initially installed version of Logic will not)
Run Logic
Go to the menu bar in Logic and select Logic Pro/Install Additional Content and select all content in there..
This content is basically exactly the same as what is stored on the remaining DVDs of the boxed set so you might not need to use the rest of the DVDs to install from but download it all instead from Apple Servers...

Mac Book Pro going to keep up with Logic Studio

I am looking at purchasing a mac book pro 17" and would like to know if it is sufficient for Logic Studio use or if I should budget for a Pro Mac tower configuration.

Simon, I think you should fess up that the comparison here is made gainst a G5 running ProToolsLE, which is the same as filling up a Toyota Corolla's boot (trunk, for those in the other world), with concrete and driving it up the biggest hill you can find... with the air conditioner on.
I have Logic running on a G5 2x2 and a MacbookPro 2.2. Both are comparable with the same sessions, though the screen redraws on the MBPro are a fair bit snappier. The video card would adequately account for that, as the G5's card is 64meg and the MBPro is 128meg and a whole lot newer.. I believe Simons is actually 256meg.
The video performance doesn't effect audio performance at all.

How to use the Optical in on 002r with Logic Studio?

Hi there
i'm trying to figure out a problem that i really can't find a solution,i'm using Logic studio 8 whith Digi 002rack and 7.4 core audio version,my question is how to select in logic the optical IN of the 002r that in my case is connected to my triton rack synth?
i can use the spdif in of the 002 but i can't find a way to use the optical in.
thanks all

I dont know if you will be able to connect other device like PS3 or Wii.
As far as I know only the Xbox 360 could be connected to a Qosmio and could be used with the Windows MCE.
I presume this is possible due to connection of Microsoft products; MCE and Xbox360
To be honest; why you dont take a look into the user manual if this notebook is new to you?
All details are mentioned in the user manual which is already preinstalled on the notebook.
