EXS Freezes when loading third party presets/audio files

Hello,
I am using Logic 8 with OS 10.6.8, macbook pro
The EXS factory presets load fine for me. I put a preset bank in the EXS preset folder/area and the samples for it on my system drive. When I choose any preset from there, the EXS freezes trying to load the samples. It doesnt get even get to one sample.
I have tried:
Reinstalling
Removing the preferences
Juggling the memory setting the EXS
Anyone able to shed some light??

Your EXS24 instruments and samples need to be re-linked, otherwise this delay will happen every time and it will drive you nuts.
Logic used to have a feature called Project Manager which did this. What happens is this:
The .exs files (instruments) contain info about where the samples are located. When you get 3rd party stuff, the paths that are written into the .exs files might look like this:
Fred's huge drive/Samples for products/Section01/Bass samples/ etc etc
Because your drive doesn't have any of these file paths, Logic scans your whole system to locate the samples.
The only real option is provided by Redmatica (www.redmatica.com)
You need ProManager or EXSManager. Either one will re-write all the file paths and sort out this problem. You need to read the instructions for the process to be successful.

FCP 7 freezes when loading 3rd party Audiofilters

Hi there,
as said in the subject, I can't get FCP 7 to run, because it freezes on start-up, while loading UAD audio filters. I can't even quit it then, only option is to re-boot the Mac.
Now I have two questions:
1) is it possible to de-activate 3rd party plug-ins in FCP, especially the audio ones? I never use them anyway with FCP...
2) is it possible to force FCP during the start to ignore any 3rd party plug-ins? Like starting Logic with ctrl button held down gives you the option to start with or without core audio. Ctrl button on FCP didn't seem to work.
Regarding the UAD plug-ins: I also have Logic 9 installed, together with a Powercore and 2 UAD PCie cards. All 3 work fine with Logic. And they did work fine with FCP (as described in the next paragraph), even though I never used them for video, so I'd be fine if de-activating is possible.
In detail:
This is a totally fresh system here, everything's installed from scratch just a few days ago, no copy&paste involved. I made a big mistake lately, upgrading to 10.6, which brought me tons of trouble, i.e. kernel panics with the Powercore card. Finally I simply removed my main hard disk, bought a brand new one, installed the original 10.5.4 system, run the combo upgrade back to 10.5.8 and installed all applications again.
Everything works perfectly, all audio troubles in Logic are gone, system works fine again, my CS4 suite runs smoothly and now I tried to start FCP for the very first time and .. nope.. Funny enough I get an UAD message telling me I haven't used my UAD plug-ins in a while and asking me to confirm my computer clock settings. After clicking ok FCP loads another 2 UAD plug-ins and freezes. Actually I did use the UAD plug-ins in Logic only 10 min before. All fine.
Regarding compatibility - FCP did work with UAD before I upgraded my system to 10.6. And it did work with 10.6. Only reason to go back to 10.5.8 was the Logic/Powercore drama. And yes, I did check user permissions, did re-boot with apple-alt-p-r, etc. etc.
So if anybody has an idea, what the problem could be or if there is a way to navigate around, i.e. avoiding the plug-ins, I'd really appreciate this!!
Thank you and have a great weekend,
Joern

Hi Nick,
thank you for the link, I downloaded the app but even though the concept sounds good, it didn't really work. When I try to de-activate any plug-in I only get error alerts.
But now I downloaded a new authorization file from UA, re-authorized and voilà - FCP is happy and running. Loading tons of plug-ins I don't need but back in business and running. Seems like I paniced too early.
Thank you,
Joern

Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets

Logic freezes while loading Space Designer presets when I am working on my template and songs. If I create 1 track in a new empty project there is no problem with Space designer.

And with Logic 8, I am stumped as to how to find all of my samples and virtual instruments that I used in Logic 7...Where is the "folder" that I drag my Sampler Folder alias into? Any clues?

Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions

Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions
When launching Extension Manager CS6 it starts loading extensions but totally freezes when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished. It is not possible to close the window, not even with the task manager. I have restart the computer to get rid of it.
My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit. The most recent versions of the entire Adobe CS family are installed, freshly updated, including the Extension Manager CS6.
To trace the cause of the problem I tried to create a log file in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS6. I logged in as administrator and wrote in the Command Prompt Window:
echo > ExManLog.YES
The log file was created but contains nothing but "ECHO is on".
A possible cause of the problem might be that I have two installed active version of Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu, which is an add-on to Dreamweaver. The first version is the free one, the second is the full paid version. I would like to deactivate the first one since which might make the Extension Manager happier. But the only way to deactivate it that I know of is to use the Extension Manager. Catch 22.

Dear Carl, thanks for the advice that made me understand how to remove an extension without using the Extension Manager. However, the problem persists, i.e the Extension Manager freezes soon after it is launched, when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished.
Following your instruction I have tried to remove both my versions of the troublesome DW extension (Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu). Which in my case meant that I deleted the following files:
the files com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi, com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi_air and com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.zxp in C:\Users\<My UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
and the files ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi, ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi_air and ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxp in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
In the hope of cleaning out everything from this extension I have also deleted the following files:
AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll in C:\Users\UpdatusUser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
and AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll, AJXCSSMenuLight.chm, AJXCSSMenuLight.dll in C:\Users\ipb-master\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
Every time I thus get rid of the Ajitex files the Extension Manager seems happy and loads the only extension I currently have left (Adobe exchange). However when I reinstall the Ajitex extension, the Extension Manager behaves in the same bad manner, freezes after approximately 70 percent of the process of loading extensions. Same thing when I remove this extension and try to install another from Ajitex (Email Spam Blocker). It seems to install all right but afterward the Extension Manager freezes when launched.
Don't know what to do now.

When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall? Is it necessary on a Mac to do so? I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

Correct. I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc. I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac. HTC will not synch with it otherwise. That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac. In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur.
Thanks.

After updating my plugins firefox 5.0.1 still hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

After making sure my plug-ins were updated, firefox 5.0.1 hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

Safari slow and freezes when loading pages

Hi I've been having a problem with Safari for the past few months it frequently freezes when loading web pages, sometimes it will eventually load, other times it wont. the blue progress bar in the address bar stops on about 10% with a plain white page it doesn't happen all the time but disturbingly it happens on pages as simple as Google search, not just data heavy sites. other symptoms include having to click links several times to get them to respond and I get the you are not connected to the Internet page when I go to some sites only to try another page from my bookmarks and it will load perfectly.
Any help greatly appreciated its driving me nuts.

I only posted the other post because I hadnt anticipated getting such a quick responce from you , Im on a tight deadline for work and I needed to get this problem sorted a.s.a.p, I didnt think that anybody else would hop onto this discussion Anyway heres the output I get

Ai CS4 keeps freezing when I try to open a file - HELP!!!

Mac OS X Tiger - Ai CS4 freezes when I try to open a file from either dbl-clicking on the file or opening within Ai. This happened all the time with Ai CS3 so I upgraded, now its happening with the new version. Do I need to allocate more memory to Ai? If yes, how do I do that? I worked when I first installed, but now it will not allow me to open any of my files. I do not receive an error message, and I have to force quit the app after it freezes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Download OnyX, clean out your system caches and repair permissions. If it occurs in eitehr version of AI, it hardly qualifies for the usual trash the prefs, but of course that is never wrong, too...

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

Logic crash when loading 3rd party space designer preset

Hi,
I am having problems loading 3rd party space designer presets in a specific project. When I load the presets in a new song there is no problem. I would like to use the presets in this specific project, so maybe somebody knows a solution.
I already tried system maintenance like
- running the regular cron scripts
- repairing permissions
- removing the logic preferences file
My setup:
- dual 2Ghz PPC G5
- 4 GB DDR SDRAM
- OSX 10.4.11
- Logic Pro 8.0.2 (1502.22)
And the crash report until the crash:

A quick update: logic crashes in more cases now. Last time I was working on volume automation in the arrange window.
