9.1.3 pretty much ruined (32/64 bit) Logic performance?
I've had a look around through some threads and it seems that a lot of people are having similar problems. Ever since updating to 9.1.3, Logic has gone horribly wrong, making the CPU spike for no reason, causing freezing on playback, random clicks and pops occurring during playback, and is basically unusable with these bugs. I'm not sure if this is also the case in 32 bit, but here is what I am running into:
Project info:
7 tracks total. Steinway Piano MIDI track, 6 audio tracks of guitar and bass.
Plugins on each channel: Compressor & EQ.
Running project and audio files off of a G-Tech 1TB Hard Drive, 32MB Buffer Size/Cache, Firewire 800.
iMac i7 2.8GHz Quad Core, 27" 1TB HDD 12GB RAM.
Logic Buffer Size = 128.
Audio Card: M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.
When pressing space bar for playback, every now and then (lets say 1 out of every 10 playbacks) Logic will freeze for about 2 or 3 seconds, the disk will show high activity, CPU and Disk I/O spikes will rise to maximum, and then after 2-3 seconds have passed, Logic will resume playback whilst the CPU and I/O spikes go back to normal. I had this issue with Logic before the 9.1.3 update, but it was only about 1 in 50 playback tries. Now it has become a lot worse.
I really do hope this bug gets fixed ASAP, because I am finding it impossible to produce music if my music isn't playing back!

Hello all,
I have been having the exact same problem on my 2008 2 x 2.8g quad core (ie. 8 core) Mac Pro. I have 10 gig Ram and am running SL 10.6.4
Since installing 9.1.3 playback in one particular project (which I had almost finished mixing down... Doh!!) freezes and I am hit with System overload errors in 64-bit Logic. The CPU / Disk I/O meters in the System performance window is sluggish and effectively I can't play back the track at all.
Try Freezing some instrument tracks.
I have tried changing the processor threads option between automatic, 8, 6, 4 and 2 cores and still no fix.
I have also tweaked latency buffers, processor bandwith and have performed disk permissions repair in the system utility and still nothing!
In the Audio prefs, set the *i/o buffer* to 1024 and the *Process Buffer Range* to Large.
I would be most grateful for ANY help anyone here could provide since now Logic is completely un-usuable for me, and well, my clients aren't exactly impressed!
Completely unusable? Exaggeration also is an art...
unfortunately i didn't make a backup of 9.1.2 before upgrading, so can;t revert back.... definitely learnt my lesson for the future!
The more you learn, the more your clients will be impressed.
You might be able to revert by reinstalling the Logic app from your disks and updating it again to 911 or 912 - should be possible.
Just trash the Logic app using AppCleaner.

Pretty much ruining the songs.
I'm using iTunes 7 and was trying to ad artwork to my songs. Everytime I've done this during the song it would just restart the song mid play and keep it like that. So at say thirty seconds into the song it will just go back to the beginning. This really irritates me because there's no way to fix this. The songs do it on the iPod and any other media player.
Here is a list of so far 150+ Free Mac Apps that I have made.

last night I was downloading something for church (I am new to Mac notebooks it's the first one I've ever owned and I've owned it since March 2014). I have never had a problem ever with this computer that's one reason I love it. So after I was downloading this thing it sent me somewhere and to download my file so I had download my file well I don't think it downloaded the file I wanted because I never saw that file ever again I've tried everything to figure out what's going on because now my Internet is pretty much crashed it says that there is no Internet connection I have pop-ups that want to stop me using my Internet and says it's unavailable then last night when I was on a site I have all these things at the top and at the bottom that show me other prices for things and I can't figure out how to get those off I go to their website for removal and there is no removal for Mac. Google is my search engine it will not let me put in Google when I go to type for google it throws me on Yahoo no matter what Yahoo has pretty much taken over my Internet and I don't know what to do it it's a mess. Can someone please help me I am definitely not Mav Savy.

If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware. -

In the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus. I have never had that happened to a computer, but I have surely heard about it. I can't think of any other reason it is behaving like this. I know that Macs have been pretty much impervious to viruses, but that was before they were the majority of users.
Anyway, what is happening is, my computer keeps crashing whenever I try to open a program, app, document, folder, file, etc. I tried to boot from Drive Genius to establish the problem, but Drive Genius crashed too. I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
Before I go there I was hoping someone in the community would have a suggestion to help me avoid that ultimate last resort. The tech support guy at Drive Genius told me that probably would have to be the way to go (as in reboot) and if that doesn't clear it up, it's repair time.
Thank you for your consideration in advance;
Lorain RIn the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus.
As others have pointed out, this isn't malware. That should not be your first (or even fifty-first) thought when your Mac starts misbehaving. For more on this topic, see my Mac Malware Guide.
I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
You mention "cleaning and maintenance." Have you been running utilities claiming to do those things? If so, you may be the victim of an overly-zealous cleaning job, which has removed important files and damaged your system.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're unable to open any applications at all... is that right? Do you have any backups? If you don't have backups, you're in a sticky situation, as it will be difficult to make backups in your current state, but you shouldn't try any kind of repairs without them. (Actually, you shouldn't do anything with your computer without backups, but this is especially important when something is going badly wrong.)
If you have backups, reboot from your Snow Leopard install disc. From there, first, repair the hard drive with Disk Utility. Once that is done, assuming repairs were successful, reinstall the system. You can simply reinstall it on top of your current system, and it will replace any damaged or lost system files with new copies. (You'll also need to update the system via Software Update after reinstalling.)
If you don't have backups, or if Disk Utility can't repair damage, or if the problem continues even after a reinstall, post back with those details. -
My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me
I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Nathan. -
2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore? It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store? Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?
Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one. -
I've pretty much confirmed that the interactivity between Word/Acrobat Mac vs. Word/Acrobat PC is completely hosed in certain situations...Please tell me I am wrong!
Situation: two workgroups need to work with each other sharing and editing word and pdf files for complex documents containing a TOC, list of figures, etc.
Problems reproducible on many machine types and configs:
1. WORD FILES: TOCs do not retain hot links within a doc that has been touched by a mac, and then re-saved as a PDF with the intent to have a linked TOC with chapter heads.
2. PDF FILES: that have been touched by a mac, for example to edit the document properties, will loose all TOC function as in problem #1 above.
In short, this rots for mac users who have to share/edit these files with PC brethren.
The only solution that I found for mac users is this:
Do your thing in Word 2008. Then have a PC version of Word and PC version of acrobat installed on a virtual drive like Parallels or VMWare, etc. Delete your TOC using MS Word for Windows, reinsert a new one, and then use the PC distiller installed into word by Acrobat Professional to create a new PDF that will be cross-platform functional.
I had a meeting with the Mac users to explain this work around and they looked at me like I was crazy, and they pretty much said go pound sand, we don't care if the TOCs are linked or not.
Well, I may be exaggerating there a bit, but NO ONE was happy with this solution, including myself. Our BIG question is "Is anyone going to fix this problem in the shortterm?!?" And it's Microsoft and Adobe both that seem to have some responsibility here...with an emphasis on Adobe, as it's clearly not just an MS isssue, as you can totally destroy a working TOC in a PDF file by just editing the file properties on a mac. Arg...
I also find it frustrating that Adobe does not have a forum for cross-platform specific issues, which to me seems consipiritory. Ha!

IPhone 4S has lost sound on iTunes, films and pretty much everything since ios6 update!
I updated to iOS 6 yesterday and since then I have lost all sound of my iTunes and films and stuff. There is no volume control available. It did work earlier for a brief time but stopped again. I have tried restarting, resetting and pretty much everything I can to resolve this but to no avail. Does any key have any ideas or have apple bugger up us iPhone 4S users? Please help its annoying me as I use iTunes a lot. Also I get no unlock sound or key clicks.
Try a hard reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button and the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears. -
Hello everyone,
Photoshop CC has recently started beeping whenever I do pretty much anything. Here is a video of the beeping in action.
http://www.screenr.com/3h5H
The beeping happens when I do any of the following things:
Increase canvas size
Opened a new document
Transfering an image from one document to another
Duplicate layers
Undo an action
This is just what I'm pulling off the top of my head.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Still doing it? I should have ran your video, so sorry for that. That sort of beeping is mostly likely hardware related, and coming from the BIOS. It is also a warning!
First thing I would do is install Speccy
http://www.piriform.com/speccy
...and have a very close look at system temperatures. It might be that a fan has failed, or is clogged with dust, or you are using a laptop sat on a soft surface blocking the vents?
Or it might be memory, like a loose or failing RAM stick. There various free downloads that will test your memory.
Or it might be none of the above, but they are too serious not to look at ams hopefully eliminate.
OK. Does this only happen in Photoshop? If so, what is unique to Photoshop? A graphics tablet for instance? -
my iphone just doesnt charge it gets too hot nd says it needs to cool down it doesnt connect to wifi also doest keep a long charge doesnt download apps pretty much doesnt work
