Colleague can't open my Logic Pro 8 files

Hello out there
I hope you will understand my english.
I got a huge problem - I'm a musician, recording selfwritten songs at home and taking them on an external hard drive to the studio, where a producer does the last changes to it.
I'm working with Logic Pro 8, this colleague also.
Suddenly he can't open my Logic files anymore - But before that it worked for a whole year without ever having a problem!
We both didn't change anything on our system (Mac OS X 10.4.11, Power Mac G5, both of us), also no changes on Logic 8... So why the **** can't he open my files anymore?
I bought a new external hard drive but that wasn't the problem.
It's a pain! We can't go on working on my songs like that.
Please help me!
Thank you very much,
Yasodhara

3rd party plugins like VSTs which he hasn't?! yes.
i will try that simple project thing. in a few days I go again to the studio and will see.
yes, the projects that he cannot open are running without any problems on my own mac. just not on his.
i included all assets (I think that means for example effects, EQs,... and stuff? not sure about that word. the dictionary doesn't make the meaning clear), not just the audio files without any modifying.
we already tried that open logic first thing and then opening the file with the "Open..." button. still freezes afterwards.
how to set the audio drivers off? maybe he knows but I don't. sorry
thank you both so much for your response.

I have several Files created in Logic Audio for windows before v5.5.1 which can't open in Logic Pro X. Any ideas for a solution to this problem, The Windows files that were created in v5.5.1 open OK. I lost my XS key during a recent house move so can't update to windows files before trying to open in Logic Pro X

If you can open the windows files in windows you can bounce the tracks out as audio. Then load them in X

How can I move ALL Logic Pro Files (except for the app itself) to an external?

Hi,
So I'm looking to move all my Logic content to my external hard drive and still be able to use the program effectively and efficiently.
I have about 5 years worth of content (adding up to over 100 GB of data in audio/instrument/project files) and I think it's time to find an alternative to suffocating my internal hard drive.
I'm looking for the easiest way to move all my content to my external and delete it from my internal (without altering the location of the app itself).
I understand "managing project assets", but this method requires me to open EVERY project one by one and change the location settings. I'm basically trying to find a way to move every project and its appropriate audio files to my external so that I can open them from there without having to go through each project one by one... I tried just copying and pasting the entire "Logic" folder onto the external and then deleted it from my internal, but when I attempted to open a project from my external's copied file, none of the content was found because the original locations of the internal were still embedded in the project. Also, none of the software instruments could be found because they, too, were originally located on the internal drive. Luckily I backed up my hard drive beforehand, so a simple restore brought me back to sanity.
I understand managing the project assets, but is going one project by one project at a time really the only way? There's gotta be another way :/
Thanks for any and all help.
P.S. I'm still on the Logic Pro 9 train, but that shouldn't matter too much. (hopefully)
Specs:
Mac Book Pro 13"
OS X Version 10.9.5
4 GB RAM (lame)
2.66 GHz Intel Core
54.2 GB Free hard drive space (super lame)
App: Logic Pro 9

Hello lramospsych,
To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

Opening a Logic Pro file in Logic Express

Hi my Nephew is thinking of buying Logic Express (He can't afford Logic Pro) so we can collaborate together on some toonz. Now if I send him a song I have created in Logic Pro will it be OK for him to open in Logic Express to work on that song?
What will have happened to all the parts that I have created on the instruments in Logic Pro which are not available in Logic Express? would it just be MIDI notes/ data? and vice versa.
Many Thanks

Hi there...
When i'm in the studio I work with LP7, but on the road (and its more often then not) I use LE7. This 12" powerbook 1.5gz w/ 1.25mb 80hd has the FULL LP7 install and the FULL LE7 install, as well as lots of Garageband loops, and most free, AUs.
In Express (with a LP7 install, on the same machine) the ONE thing that is poor, is opening a LP7 project that leverages PLUGS for LP7. But that's ok as Sculpture and all those other goodies are too cpu hungry for a single G4 (IMHO).
So you will not get those working, BUT, with a real LP7 install the EXSp24 can OPEN the instruments from the much much larger library of material inside LE7. It's kind of like Logic Express-PRO...sounds strange i know.
Oh, and don't forget that LE7 need to really be the 7.1.1 version as that one adds the HybredMorph inst from GB. Keep your bus counts down and no auxs in the LP7 sessions if you KNOW a LE7 users will pop them open
YMMV... but Good luck.

Can't Open Final Cut Pro file

Hello - I've been given an FCP file that I tried opening in my FCP 6.0.6 and it said "Files format too new for this version." So I assumed it was a FCP 7 file. So I downloaded free trial of FCP X to see if that would open it and it wouldn't either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a converter out there that will convert down to FCP 6? I paid for 7toX and it wouldn't read it either. THANKS!!!!

Thanks Gregory. I have read something similar. I was actually trying to see if there was some kind of converter out there that I could download that could make the XML file. Looks like I'll have to ask the person who created the file to send me a XML file. Thanks again!

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

Can't seem to get to garageband 10 projects to open in logic pro x

Can't seem to get garageband 10 projects to open in logic pro x. I know it should be easy, but it always opens as an empty project without giving any notification of a problem. Earlier versions of garageband seem to transfer fine. However, if i save the earlier version projects as garageband 10 projects, they again fail to import into logic pro x.
Any suggestions?

Do you get the Dialog Window (that lets you save the GarageBand Project as a new Logic Project) when you open the original GarageBand Project? After you save it a Progress Bar should appear and then the Project opens in Logic.
Works on my machine without a problem.

After downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet

after downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet. Can anyone provide a solution to this problem. Thanks

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
I got it!!! Yes!!!
Guys, I've solved my problem about that error -10202 (Selected driver not found).
I have installed in my Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.8) a document with an extension ".rsrc" to correct the position of the accents in my keyboard, like acute accent, tilde and circumflex.
That file is called "U.S. - International.rsrc" and it's stored in the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts"
So, when it's properly installed, I can choose 2 country flags on the right side of the menu bar (U.S. - International and Brazilian).
That's the clue!
When I pick up "U.S. - International", my keyboard works fine with the accents, >>>BUT<<< Logic Pro 9 doesn't recognize my audio driver; and when I pick up "Brazilian", my keyboard doesn't work with the accents exactly as it shows me on each key, BUT Logic Pro 9 DOES recognize my audio driver.
So, when I want to write anything out, I will pick up the "US - International" and when I want to work on the Logic Pro 9, I will pick up "Brazilian".
I hope I can help all of you.
Regards,
Renato Veiga.

Sorry! Something went wrong - I can't open my icloud pages file anymore

I can't open my icloud pages file anymore. We are two collaborators working on it and she told me the file was freezing. I have said she can reload the file but it didn't work. Then it was my turn. I have tried from desktop but also from Ipad. The Pages app now crash when I want to open this same file. When I load my icloud page, I see the file, it is here, with the last layout, but can't open. I need to recover that document, it's important to me. Is there any assistance @apple to do so?
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue !! On "Pages", "Numbers", "Keynote"
- Macbook pro retina 13" late 2013
Icloud.com tested with Chrome, Opera, Safari, Iexplorer .. same problem
Try to reset "Documents and data" from Settings >>> "Could not reset Documents and Data ; there was a problem.."

I can't open any of my files

i can't open any of my files after transfering the files from my macbook pro... help...

What happens when you try to open the files? (Any error messages?) What kind of files are they? For example, if they are Word documents, do you have Word (Office) installed on the new Mac?

Importing Logic Pro files?

My friend emailed me a Logic Pro file and when I try to open it up I see this message, " Instrument "Port 1" sends to a MIDI port named "FireWire Audiophile" of MIDI interface "FireWire Audiophile" which no longer exists. Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument's port setting." What am I to do next?

.....Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument's port setting ,.... as it says.
meaning that you have to select the port where you have your midi interface connected.
in case you are using the same inteface make sure the power is on.

FCE only works with DV for standard definition and the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD. Most FCP projects cannot be opened in FCE.

Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some updates for my imac. Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box. The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

Hello all..   I hope someone here can help. I recently downloaded some updates to my imac. Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock. I've tried rebooting with no joy.
I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared. Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

Hay thank you for your time . I do that every time I know I am online. It says that I am up to date . I have found that I have 10.4.11 version, and that my boot version is 10.6.2, and that my kernel version is 8.11.1.
I have a hard drive icon on my desktop that says 10.6.2....
I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?
