Can't seem to overdub midi tracks in Logic Pro X without losing the underlying track

In new to Logic and Mac in general and i'm sure it's an easy fix. When i try to overdub midi recording on a track as soon as i stop the track what i alraedy had is gone. I am aiming to keep the original sound and add to it. I've read the manual and watched training videos on the subject but no joy. I've tried it with cycle on and off. Any ideas?

Set your drag mode to "Overlap" to prevent that from happening.

How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested. If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library. Not the same as the other methods.
The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

Overdubbing not working in Logic Pro X

Hi everyone,
I am running LPX 10.0.5 on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OS X 10.8.5 and unfortunately midi overdubbing (for software instruments and external midi tracks) seem not be working for me. The Replace button is of course deactivated and the midi recording settings are set to "merge when cycling" (translated from German, I don't have the English version).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

Hi
I've looked at the info posted above and I still can't get this to work consistently in Logic Pro X - 99% of the time it just doesn't work. I'm beginning to think this is a bug. I have also ensured that the "Drag: Overlap" is set as I think by default it is set to "No-Overlap" - not sure if this makes a difference but I read in the Apple Discussions Forum that this affected some other users.
My project setup is a follows:
Record->MIDI Recording Options->Join with Selected Regions
Punch/Overwrite - Disabled
OSX Mavericks 10.9.1
Logic Pro X 10.0.5
Any help on this would be appreciated as I just can't this to work as it did in Logic 9
Thanks
Neil

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have.

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have. When I go to ICal it asks for the username and password which I no longer have. The calendar is still on my phone (even though the email account is on my phone but doesn't work) Is there a way to copy my calendar to a different email address on my iphone? I have now set the default email account for the calendar to a current email address but I still can't figure out how to merge my iphone calendars, copy the iphone calendar to iCal, or save my iphone calendar to my mac. Also, I read in ITunes to check "sync to ICal" but my ITunes under my iphone and info just says "Sync Calendars" which doesn't transfer it to iCal when I sync my phone.

Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

Can't seem to find free trial of premiere pro after downloading on PC

can't seem to find free trial of premiere pro after downloading on PC

It's under Start > All Programs > Adobe Premiere Pro CC at first. After first launch, windows will remeber it as a recent program and it will be easier to see.
As for why it's not responding... try all the obvious stuff, like force quit/restart/relaunch. Then check your specs and make sure they meet the requirements. After that, it may require some troubleshooting with tech support to find out why things did not install correctly for you.
And, to be clear, installing the tirial is essentially the same as installing the full retail version. The main difference is that you will ge tthat trial dialog each time you launch and it will time out after 30 days if you don't activate by then.

Help needed in connecting two midi keyboards to Logic Pro.

Hey there, I would like to connect two midi keyboards to Logic Pro and enable each keyboard to trigger separate software instruments each. For example, one keyboard has guitar and the other has strings.
I realise this must have something to do with midi channels or ports, however my knowledge is limited.
At current, I just have the two keyboards connected via usb straight to the computer. Is it possible I need a multi input or output interface, so that Logic can recognise different ports, or channels? Perhaps there is simply something I need to do in Logic itself? the keyboards are basic M-Audio midi controllers, just a usb port - thats it, no other connections. Any help would be great, Brad.

Hey Brad,
yes you need also to change the out midi of the keyboards.
in my case I have the Keysation 61 es, it's done this way:
"Channel
MIDI data from the keyboard can be sent on any of 16 MIDI Channels. However, certain MIDI devices and MIDI software applications require
the keyboard to send data on a speciﬁed channel. If this is the case, you can change the channel the data is sent using the following
method:
< Press the Advanced Functions button to engage Edit Mode.
< Press one of the 16 Channel keys from D1 to E3, according to the Channel that you need.
For example, if a device speciﬁes that you need to send data on Channel 10, press the Advanced Functions button, and then key F2 to select
Channel 10.
The Channel can also be assigned to the Octave “+” and “-” buttons. Once assigned, pressing “+” or “-” will increase or decrease the channel
incrementally. When Channel 16 is reached and “+” is pressed, Channel 1 will be selected. If the Octave “+” and “-” keys are selected to vary
the Channel, the lights above the buttons will not change, since it is not possible to have a Channel with a negative value. Pressing both the
“+” and “-” buttons together will recall Channel 1."
Can you please tell me what keyboards do you have?
this is for two players having a go on completely 2 different parts.
In case you want to record 2 tracks with the same content say a piano and a pad,
all you need to do is open the tracks and rec enable both and you have piano pad.
Anyway I believe you need to have two separate sounds for two players?
Give us some more input of what you want, there must have one or more solutions to what you need.
Cheers mate,
Jorge

How can I Scroll Down without losing the lightbox in the center of the screen?

I already tried with different slideshow presets with no results.
If I click in the first photo the slideshow screen remains on the top, It seems that it doesn't scroll down with me. I would like to slidedown and click into the last photo without losing the lightbox in the center.
I already ask for help by chat, but you didn't answer how i expect.
here the link of the example:
FOR MUSE STAFF

Hi
This is not possible directly using the widgets, as you would need customize this where the page scrolls but lightbox should still be centered.
Another way of doing would be aligning the images horizontally on page with smaller version and then use lightbox effect , where the clicked image will still be on page but user can click on other images.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Ich nutze Logic Pro um Midi-Files zu bearbeiten. Unbearbeitete Midi-Files werden von Qmidi mit deutschen Buchstaben ä, ö, ü, ß wiedergegeben. Sobald ich das midi-file mit logic-Pro bearbeitet habe werden die Buchstaben nicht korrekt wiedergegeben

Ich nutze Logic Pro um Midi-Files zu bearbeiten. Unbearbeitete Midi-Files werden von Qmidi mit deutschen Buchstaben ä, ö, ü, ß wiedergegeben. Sobald ich das midi-file mit logic-Pro bearbeitet habe werden die Buchstaben nicht korrekt wiedergegeben. Dies passiert auch, wenn ich keine Änderungen im Midi-File vorgenommen habe. Bei Qmidi kann ich die Schriftarten / Einstellung " Western ( ISO Latin 1 ) " eingeben und diese Buchstaben werden korrekt erkannt. Es muss daran liegen, was Logic Pro aus dem Midi-File macht.
vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe im voraus
I use Logic Pro to edit midi files. Unprocessed Midi-Files reproduced from the programm "Qmidi" with German letters ä, ö, ü ß. Once I have edited the midi-file with logic-Pro are not correctly play back the letters. This also happens when I have not made any changes in the midi file. In Qmidi I can the font / setting "Western (ISO Latin 1)" and enter these characters are correctly recognized. It must be because what makes Logic Pro from the midi file.
Thank you for your help in advance

That's clearly a bug. Please send this to Apple using their feedback form:

Control external MIDI synth with Logic Pro X

I purchaced Logic Pro X to use it as a MIDI-sequencer for my external stagepiano: the Roland RD-700sx including two expansion boards (SRX-04 and SRX-10). I want to make records to create my own music. Before I record it as audio I want to record it as MIDI, because in that form it's easier to make adjustments.
The RD-700sx is GM-compatible, though the better quality sounds are stored in certain banks, which one can select bij entering a specific number to the MIDI control assignments MSB and LSB. For example: to select the Superior Grand Piano, MSB = 87, LSB = 64 and PC (program change) = 1. To select the 60's E. Piano 2, MSB = 87, LSB = 65 and PC = 5. To select the first tone wheel organ MSB = 112, LSB = 0 and PC = 1. To select the SX Rock Kit (drums) MSB = 86, LSB = 72 and PC = 2. And to select the staccato cello on my expansion board MSB = 93, LSB = 3 and PC = 79.
I spent a lot of time searching and asking on the internet how to select the desired sounds, but I don't know how to do it. So far I know you have to create a multitimbral MIDI environment and on each of the 16 channels you can assign a bank and enter the values of MSB and LSB. I found this article: Logic Pro/Express 9: Defining Custom Bank Messages - Apple Support
I understand a part of it, though I have too little experience with Logic Pro X to get the job done. Can someone please explain it to me from the beginning to the end? You would help me a lot!!!

did you do a firmware update on 003 ?
