Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

Hi people
it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
Console looks like this:
Mar 5 00:34:13 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:34:43: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Mar 5 00:37:11 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:39:34 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting

Mar 5 00:41:15 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:42:40 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
Cheers,
Daniel

I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..
Aaaaargh!
The only thing I actually might tried the first time yesterday evening which I haven't done before is a roland vdrum via midi to ultrabeat but how could that mess things up? I dunno ...

  • Can't join CD tracks - no, not the usual problem

    Help,
    This is NOT the problem where the tracks are out of order so the Join CD Tracks is grayed out. It's a different problem.
    I load audiobook CDs to play on my iPod - have been doing it for years.
    I join the tracks so that each CD is only one entry in iTunes.
    As of the last few days, when I try to join CD tracks, it says it's joining hundreds of tracks, and when I drag the joined tracks to my itunes folder it just chimes and refuses to copy.
    In the past, the little drag icon would list the number of joined tracks (like 12), now it shows a number like 283. And it won't copy. I did a software update recently. Has something changed to this feature?
    OSX 10.6.6
    iTunes 10.2.1 (1)

    Rebooted all macs to run off iTunes 9, a much better version of iTunes, and wouldn't you know, join tracks works just fine.  Reinstalled 10.2 onto one of the computers and still get same software problem of joined tracks not importing.  If you join the tracks in the middle of an album, and then import the entire album, only the tracks that fall after the joined tracks import and nothing else. 
    I suggest having a working version of iTunes like 9 on your computer for the joined tracks feature.  I only use 10.2 now for uploading to ipad since apple is forcing paying customers to use that version for the ipad and other players because older more stable versions of itunes don't work with the new hardware.  Choice is something that is disappearing with apple products.  It's a shame.

  • Ipod touch not recognized by itunes 9 (this isn't the usual problem.)

    My sister put playdoh in my usb cord a month or two ago and in the open part of the ipod which you put the usb cord in.I cleaned it out with a toothpick. First usb cord stopped working got another one. My ipod was fine till a few weeks ago. My ipod used to only connect 1/10 times randomly, but now it rarely does. I tried every usb hub or port internal and external. I've tried restoring my ipod, reinstalling itunes, restarting services, etc. Can someone help me. Someone said maybe the connectors are coroded, but the warranty i don't believe covers against abuse though my 3 year old sister did it... really a kick in the balls. Anyway if you can help i'd appreciate it thanks.

    Well i have noticed that it will randomly turn off now
    Okay. I don't associate that with a corrosion issue. (Our nano would play and charge perfectly happily, it just wouldn't sync any more after I had sweated out the dock connector.)
    So, I'm suspecting that the connection trouble might be related more to whatever's causing the random stopping rather than the Play-Doh incident.
    Perhaps try another restore to see if you can get her playing-without-switching-off/syncing again ... and if she continues to misbehave, and there's no sign of Play-Doh in the connector any more, I think you've got a decent and legitimate shot at getting her replaced under guarantee (if she's still under guarantee).

  • Using my ipod with multiple computers: not the usual problem I think

    I've searched the forum and various help documents but I couldn't find the answer to this.
    I have a laptop at the office (work-related, so I don't have any of my music on it, just itunes) and my computer at home. Ideally I'd like to:
    = keep my ipod automatically synced to my home computer
    = be able to connect my ipod to my work laptop and play the music stored on it through itunes there, and also keep it charged and ready for the trip home.
    It seems that the 'manually manage music and videos' setting travels with the ipod, rather than being stored on the computer's itunes installation. If I set it at work, so I can play music there, when I connect the ipod at home I have to reset it (and a few times when I did so the ipod started deleting everything because 'sync my music' was not checked, grrr).
    I just want to set things up in a way so that when I connect my ipod at work it will let me play whatever songs I have there (without wanting to sync anything), and when I connect it at home it will automatically update it. It's simple enough, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
    If I connect the ipod at work and press 'cancel' when the 'do you want to erase things' pops up, it doesn't try to change the settings, but at the same time it doesn't let me play music at all, everything is greyed out
    does anybody have any idea? I don't want to resort to have to buy a usb power adapter just so that I can play my ipod at work without draining the battery...

    Could it be because its an iPhone and not a true iPod???
    i doubt it.
    actually, syncing an iPod Touch (or iPhone) with multiple computers is not recommended @ all. click here to find out what Apple has to say about it.
    all i can think of, i you really must do that, is this:
    to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes. now you should be able to do what you want.
    however, you do so @ your own peril, as the article above outlined.
    alternatively, consider a setup such as this.
    good luck !

  • IMac Fan Noise - Not The Usual Problem

    Hi,
    I have seen plenty of discussions on iMac fan noise but mine is a little different. A week ago, a 'tink' noise (similar to tapping your fingernail on a glass) started coming from my mid 2011 iMac. At first, I thought it was the "click of death" for my hard drive, so I replaced it myself. This didn't fix the noise, so I ran an extended hardware test. This came back with a 4MEM error. I had some spare RAM, fitted it, ran the test again, no 4MEM error.
    So, I booted the iMac again. 'Tink'... 'tink'. I finally located it to the bottom right of my iMac, where the optical drive fan is located. This fan has always rattled a little now and again but now it seems intent on driving me round the bend with its very own form of torture. At first, the 'tink' was now and again, but now it constant. 'tinktinktinktinktink'. Is there a way to stop the optical fan for now? I don't use the optical drive often anyway. Or would it just be a replacement fan?
    Resetting SMC or PRAM does nothing.

    This may be way off target, in which case ignore me. Do you have an app called Free Memory installed? There have been a few posts on here where it seems to cause repetitive odd noises to occur, particularly when running Mavericks?

  • Cannot drop pictures into video effects window (not the usual problem)

    Hi there,
    I cannot drop jpgs into the video effects window. I checked http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5700460&#5700460 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7384222&#7384222 and they got me going, but my issue is slightly different.
    The plus sign appears when I click and drag the picture out of finder and into one of the open windows in video effects user backdrop window. When I release the mouse button, nothing is dragged to the location. I have tried different picture locations, moved them to the desktop first, and different picture locations, but no luck.
    Any ideas? I’ll run disk perms in the meantime in case it is something goofy, but if anyone has any ideas I’d be grateful. Just got my first Mac two days ago and love it so far

    Did the Pic file come from another computer ?
    Manually navigate to the Pic.
    Highlight it and do a "Get Info" (Apple Key and I together)
    DO you Own it and have Read and Write Access (near the bottom when you expand the various tabs).
    Make sure you are the Owner and have Read and Write access.

  • Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

    Hello,
    We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
    If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
    Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
    WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
    It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
    This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
    As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
    Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
    Kind regards
    Udo

    Hello,
    Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
    Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
    It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
    Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
    In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
    - Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
    - Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
    - GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
    - CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
    - After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
    - Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A
    Regards

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • Incessant Audio Engine Overload Errors

    I have a showstopping problem. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out. I have a session set up in Logic (created from "Empty Project") with a single Audio track in it. The track is assigned to Input 1, which is being fed 1K tone at -6db. As soon as I click record enable on that track, Logic spits this out in Console:
    2/27/09 7:58:30 PM Logic Pro 715 Warning Audio engine overloaded, resetting

    2/27/09 7:58:42 PM Logic Pro 715 Warning Audio engine overloaded, resetting
    and so on, ad infinitum. Each time one of these errors is generated, there is a brief drop out in the monitored (through Output 1&2) audio. If I actually try to record, Logic errors out quickly with:
    System Overload.
    The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time.
    (-10011)
    If anyone would be kind enough to point me at a solution, I would be very grateful. As I said, I'm sure I've just done something stupid...
    Thanks in advance.

    Figured it out. Pretty simple (and stupid of me). Turned out I had to raise the I/O Buffer setting from 128 to 256, and uncheck the I/O Safety Buffer. Problem solved. Got 16 tracks recording at once right now. Sorry to have wasted anyone's time...

  • Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part?

    Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather according the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part? (I do have the setting for creating new emails from the highlighted mailbox checked.)

    The questions about time was not only because of thinking about the Time Machine, but also possible impact on recognizing which messages remaining on a POP server (doesn't apply to IMAP) have been already downloaded. In the Mail folder, at its root level, in Mail 3.x there is a file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 that should prevent duplicate downloading -- some servers may not communicate the best with respect to that, and the universal index must certainly be involved in updating that index file. If it corrupts, it can inhibit proper downloading. However, setting the account up in a New User Account and having the same problem does not point that way, unless your POP3 server is very different from most.
    That universal index is also typically involved when messages are meant to be moved from the Inbox to another mailbox -- in Mail 3.x the message does not move, but rather is copied, and then erased from the origin mailbox. That requires updating the Envelope Index to keep track of where the message is, and should keep track of where it is supposed to have been removed after the "Move".

  • After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

    After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
