HELP!!! Logic Pro 8 won't load

I installed some plug-ins and had an issue with validating one of them. I proceeded anyway and the start up screen stalls. I removed the plug in from the components menu and the problem persists. I consulted the manual and was told to hold down shift-control at the start up screen and the AU manager would be accessed. It didn't. No idea what to do next, and I really am not keen on the idea of doing a reinstallation of Logic. Anyone got any ideas?

Logic Pro 8 itself doesn't work correctly with Mavericks... All sorts of weird behaviour can occur.... as it is no longer supported under that OS X version.
You can try to open the LP8 projects in LPX itself but note, any 32bit plugins and other LP8/9 only features used in your LP8 projects.. will no longer work in LPX
Solutions?
Roll back using your backups, to Mountain Lion.. where LPX and LP8 will continue to run side by side.... (You did make backups before you upgraded to Mavericks, yes?)
or....
Create a external boot disk for running Mountain Lion and install LP8 on that.. so you can boot to your internal Mavericks system disk to run LPX and boot to your external ML system disk when you wish to use LP8

  • Logic pro won't load plug-ins

    Hey!
    I know that there are several discussions about this, but i think this problem that i've got is quite unique.
    I am using Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro with Logic pro 9.
    I was using the following plug-ins:
    *Sausage fattener
    *Massive
    *Sylenth1
    *Nexus
    The problem here is that yesterday, i shut down my computer, when i woke up and started Logic, it was saying:
    Logic pro: Plug-in "Nexus" not available.
    Logic pro: Plug-in "Sylenth1" not available.
    So i restarted the computer and now it has added:
    Logic pro: Plug-in "Sausage fattener" not available.
    Massive still works though.
    I checked the vst folders and everything, deleted it and reinstalled, restarted my computer but NOTHING works.
    Do anyone have a clue what to do? Been googeling all day..
    Cheers!

    Those are all 32bit plugins...
    So start up Logic Pro in 32bit mode and see if that fixes things...
    Resolution
    To switch Logic between 32- and 64-bit mode:
    Quit Logic Pro, if it is running.
    Navigate to and select the Logic Pro application in the Applications folder.
    Choose File, then Get Info.
    Select the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox to run Logic Pro in 32-bit mode. Deselect the checkbox to run Logic Pro in 64-bit mode.
    My guess is you changed modes..
    Note: The 32bit plugins will also show up in 64bit mode under the 32bit plugin area of the drop down menu... (and then they use the 32bit to 64bit bridge program automatically) so you might need to just run LP in 32bit mode and then again in 64bit mode to fully revalidate them again..

  • Logic Pro won't open a Logic arrangement created in Logic Pro Educational

    Anyone experiencing this unusual problem. I am running a fully registered copy of Logic Pro on my MacBookPro. My client is using Logic Pro Educational copy, which expires in a few weeks from now. I have tried to open his arrangement/song files on my system. My Logic Pro won't even recognise what kind of file it is. Anyone know why this is happening? Very, very annoying when this is my line of work and income. If it's a security issue, then it should be the other way around. He shouldn't be able to open my files, hence me paying £700 for my licience. Any advice from anyone would be most helpful. I know someone will probably say...'well get your client to buy a full copy of Logic Pro' ... But it still won't solve this problem in accessing this work. Sometimes Apple...arghhhh!

    Thanks for your response. We actually tried it with another user who uses an educational copy. It worked straight away without any problems on his system. 'Corrupt file' is the error I'm getting though, so you're right there. The only thing I can think of is I'm using a MacBookPro and they are using the older Macs. Could it be a strange Intel problem? Very weird. Would love to get to the bottom of this. I am going to try loading it up on my friend's G5 to see if this is the case.
    Thanks.
    Nick.

  • I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder.  This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher".  I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

    I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder.  This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher".  I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
    I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it.  What do I do now?

    Niel:  Thanks. 
    For others benefit, here is what happened.
    I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
    My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder.  It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works.  Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update. 
    Solution:  I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm. 

  • My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google), Opera, or Mozilla Firefox. I already did the "Reset Safari", restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete.

    My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google). Opera and Mozilla Firefox won't load any sites whatsoever. I already did the "Reset Safari" several times, restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete. I virus scanned the computer with Sophos, Avast, and iAntiVirus and it looks clean.

    Is iAntiVirus the best virus protection to use for a MacBook?
    The best anti-virus protection is your own common sense, and what you already bought and paid for with your Mac. Third party products such as "iAntiVirus" convey no additional benefit, and as you already determined are very capable of causing trouble.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • My MacBook Pro won't load my CD with pictures. Help me :(

    I bought my laptop a couple months ago so I know it's not because my computer is old, but my picture CD won't load or open or anything. It makes a noise like it's going to start up, but still I get nothing. It works on my parents' desktop computer, but not mine please help me!

    You don't say if other CDs or DVDs work.  Please check out this article which goes through troubleshooting optical disc reading.

    Hmm, very strange, never seen this message before. Have you tried going into Disk Utility and running a "Repair Disk Permissions" on your Macintosh HD? Can't guarantee it will fix the problem, but worth a try.. If you get really stuck, the simplest thing to do is just to uninstall Logic and then reinstall it, apply updates etc.. and try 64 bit again.

  • Logic pro won't install on macbook pro

    I have Logic Studio 9.1.5 working on my iMac i7 under OS X 6.8.  It is an upgrade of an upgrade, etc going back to V 5.5.  I have the original Emagic key from Logic 5.5.  My recollection is that I had to use this to install the Logic Studio upgrade to get Logic Pro 8, but that when I upgraded to V9, the key was not necessary.
    I'll be visiting some remote sites for recording later this fall, and decided to move Logic to my MacBook Pro for the trip. It came with Lion.  I installed the minimal setup from the Logic Studio package to get Logic Pro 9 on the MBP. It asked me for the serial number and to insert the EMagic key at the start of the install process.  Once installed, it would not launch under Lion so I installed the 9.1.5 update.  When I tried to launch after this update, Logic started up, but I was asked for the serial number and Emagic key again.  This time, it reported that my key is not elegible for this upgrade.  Makes no sense, given I had this running with no probllem on the iMac.
    Have there been any other steps required to install under Lion?  Is there anything else anyone can suggest to look into?

    Samuel, this won't help you, but it may help some others.
    I had CS2 installed on my good old TiBook 400MHz, and it worked fine there. When I got my new MBP C2D 2.33 yesterday, I followed the instructions for connecting via FireWire, and after 2 hours, everything copied over just fine. So far, everything works fine too, which is really amazing to me, including the Adobe CS2 applications.
    I did make sure that my old TiBook was up-to-date, and ran Mac Janitor on it, and fixed permissions. That may have made the difference.
    The only things which don't run now are the old OS9 applications, and Final Cut Express 3.0 (but there is a work-around using the esc key).
    Hope this is encouraging to someone who is thinking about gettig a MBP C2D.

  • How long does it take for Logic Pro 8 to  load on your system?

    Hi I just spent a few hours installing Logic on a new laptop and started freaking out because Logic Pro 8 wouldn't load. After I click the application the screen pops up I see it's loading, then the templates appear and I choose one... after that - that's it, nothing's moving I am just staring at the screen, when I nervously opened the Force Quit screen to check status I see it not responding so I closed it from there.
    So I tried a few times over and in fact was going to stop the post there but then during last time when I didn't do force quit as I was tying this message Logic Pro opened up with the template ready to go.
    So I tried it a few times while always monitoring the status on force quit window. And it seems to be going on the same pattern. Assuming I have a file saved so it doesn't give me templates, ok, after I click Logic Pro I see a freed loading screen with files running then everything disappears for about a minute. During that time if I look in the force quit window it shows Logic Pro as not responding then you can see it goes back and it starts fullscreen and everything is ok.
    Meanwhile none of the other apps have that problem, Soundtrack and Waveburner all start up right away.
    So I am wondering if anyone else has these slow startup. I don't know, I did download almost all sound DVDs excluding two jam packs, in case it matters, in case that's what takes so long to load.

    There's something wrong with 10.5.2 and Logic 8.0.1....The problem is not to start the program, the problem is to open a project. It takes much longer time then before. It doesn't matter if it's a big project with lot's of audio and instruments or if it's a empty project. I have the same problem on three computers. What is the problem?

    Follow komkommer instructions on this link. I suffer the same problem after 5.2. after erasing fonts damaged all is fine and logic opens very fast.. 8 or 10 seconds on macbookpro 2.33

  • HT4561 I have an iMac (2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) and recently updated to OSX10.6.8. At first things worked as before, but suddenly a bunch of applications are not working; including videos wont play in any browser, plus Skype and Logic Pro won't work

    Recently updated to osx10.6.8. Was fine at first, but now have problems with various applications freezing/hanging.
    These include Skype and Logic Pro.
    In addition, cannot play videos (including YouTube and BBC) on Firefox (my usual browser), Safari or Chrome.
    Application becomes frozen, and I eventually get an 'unresponsive script' message.
    With Firefox I have tried clearing the cache. My Flash is upto date.

  • Acrobat Pro won't load since I reinstalled Photoshop

    Had to reinstall Photoshop CS5 today. Acrobat Pro 9 now won't load. Says Suite Product Activation Needed. It asked that I start another component of the suite. I had Photoshop open and it would not load. Any suggestions are welcome. See attched alert image.

    I hope this gets through, since I am now not able to even log in to my adobe account (even though I've been an Adobe customer for over 20 years). My user ID and password stopped working at 4:00 today. Was on the phone with adobe for hours, and they are not able to even get me access to my account or products that I bought from them.
    Yes Adobe CS5. Tried restarting. Thanks, but didn't work. Adobe said I need to do a complete reinstall of CS5 to get Acrobat to work. I asked "Then why do you give the option of reinstalling apps individually?" No answer. That's when we discovered that I could no longer even access my account or download my purchased products. They said they are "elevating the matter" and I will here from someone in 24-48 hours. So apparently "elevating" means "We are hanging up now. Talk to you in a few days." Try explaining that to my clients.

  • My macbook pro won't load all the way when I start it up.

    Lately, my mac book pro has been slow to use, and the colour wheel pops up often. I shut it down earlier today, and now when I try to start it up, it won't load all the way. When I do manage to get to the homescreen, the applications and toolbars won't load. Any ideas what the issue might be and how I can fix it?

    It could be a number of issues, Fred.
    Have you optimized your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs to the right of this forum? Oversized photos are the chief reason for these types of failures.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
    You also say your videos are MP4s. Are these AVCHD video or are they from a "webbie" camcorder, such as the Flip cam? Flip video uses a proprietary codec that often jams up video editors. This is also covered in our FAQs.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437535?tstart=0
    Finally, have you ensured that the drive you are saving your video to has adequate free space and is freshly defragmented? You should always have at least 30 gigs of free space on your drive plus 30-50 more for each hour of video you're outputting.
    And, if you are exporting to a drive other than your C drive, you should ensure that the drive is formatted NTFS rather than FAT32. FAT32 drives have a file size limit that often chokes video output.

  • Recording Microphone through Alesis Firewire Mixer to Logic Pro won't work

    I am trying to record a simple vocal performance into Logic Pro 8 through an Alesis Firewire Mixer. The mixer is corresponding with my CPU and serves as the input/output. The mic comes loud and clear through the monitor speakers. I can't figure out the basics of getting this to record into logic, or how to edit the sample once I have it.
    This should be the easiest thing to do and I don't see it layed out in detail anywhere in the manual.
    Somebody Help!

    Okay i have the input in Logic set to "input 1" and the microphone going into Input 1 on the Alesis but no microphone levels are appearing in Logic, though the microphone IS coming through the speakers. (the Alesis is corresponding with the computer, playing tunes and such)
