How do I get Logic to respond to Preferences, Audio, and Options?

Every time I click on the below options I get that rainbow colored ball and Logic freezes up and does not respond. This all occurred after I accidentally pulled the plug on my Macbook while the battery was not in it. Logic was not able to shut down properly and hasn't been working properly ever since. What can I do to correct this?

Well, while you're at it trying to get your Logic back to functionality, I'd suggest making a partition of your internal hard drive (or install another drive if you have a tower) and then put a bare-bones OS on that partition/drive and install ONLY Logic along with it.
Only do this if you're not a computer idiot as you can really muss things up if you don't know how to handle moving an OS and making a usable partition on an existing drive.
I have my MacBookPro set-up that way. 1 "drive" for basic computer work and then 1 drive for my music stuff.
Never the twain shall meet.
I do this 'kuz my audio hardware manufacturer only has solid drivers up to 10.4.6. and my general computer OS is 10.5... Even still, I like the set-up this way. Allows me to keep things simple and clean when I'm doing audio work.

How do I get Logic to sync to external audio device?

Here is what I am trying to do:
I have a Big Ben which I want to use to sync everything together. I have Lynx Aurora converters on the way but for now I need to use a 002 rack with a Presonus DigiMax for audio i/o. So basically, I want to connect BIg Ben to 002 with SPDIF cable and to Digimax with Wordclock cable and that all seems to work fine when Logic is off. However I can't get Logic 8 to sync to the Big Ben through the 002 which is used for ins and outs. I can get everything synced by setting Logic to Internal sync and then sending SPDIF from 002 to Big Ben (which syncs externaly to that) and then connecting wordclock out of Big Ben to Digimax. There has got to be a better way.
I have tried setting Logic to external sync ( not exactly sure which method to use since nothing in the manual says that a particular setting is to be used with the i/o except maybe External or Free in Core Audio under Audio Tab on Sync settings - anyway this didn't work). I can use Digidesign CoreAudio Manager to set 002 to SPDIF but whatever I do, Logic doesn't not reflect changes to the clock rate. I someone could guide me on getting Logic to respond to Clock changes from 002R, I can probably get it going from there.
Thanks,

This is what I have figured out so far. If I turn off Logic, the 002 and Digimax clock just fine from the Big Ben. When clocking Logic from an external audio source (by using external or free under the audio tab of Sync preferences), that when I change timing of Big Ben, the audio changes to indicate it is receiving word clock. Logic throws up errors saying that there is a mismatch from external sync to project settings or some such error message. I can then change the clock in Logic to match what the Big Ben reads and errors go away and things indicate that it is clocked correctly. This seems to work, I am just used to other programs that when I change the clock setting on the Big Ben that they reflect those changes right away.
And yes I can synch the 002 to the Digimaz but it still doesn't work correctly until I manually change the clock setting in Logic as well. I just wonder if this is how things are supposed to work in Logic or if I am doing something wrong? The 002 is just a temporary solution to get me through a session tomorrow. After then I will have a Lynx Aurora 16 connected with the Firewire option and then use the Lynx AES16 PCIe when it is available in a few week (or hopefully not months). I am just trying to get a handle on how Logic syncs to an external converter. And while Syncing and wordclock are maybe not the same thing, under the sync menu is the only spot where I have found wordclock even mentioned (at least it is in the manual when describing what some of the options allow).

How can I get cross fade/dissolve of both audio and video?

I want to centre the coss fade/dissolve transition on the clip boundary. I can do this with the video cross dissolve but not the audio cross fade - for the audio, the Alignment facility in the Edit transition is greyed out and the transition can only be located to the left or right of the clip boundary. It seems an obvious requirement and surprising that audio cross fade is not, optionally at least, an integral part of the video cross dissolve (as it is in Corel VideoStudio).

Steve - thanks for the reply.
Yes I am working in Timeline mode and have done what you suggest - i.e., drag in the video transition followed by the audio transition. However, despite my original update to the question, I now cannot centre the audio transition on the clip boundary - it worked once as reported but not since.
Basically when I drag the audio cross fade transition on to the timeline, it will only let me drop it to the left or right of the clip boundary. I then hightlight the transition and click on the edit transition button. The properties are displayed and I can alter the length of the transition but the wording in the alignment row of the properties is greyed out with the setting being "End at cut". The down arrow head to give the drop down with the other settings is grey and inactive.
I don't understand how I made it work once!
Any ideas?

How do I get Logic to reference files instead of importing them?

Hey guys, I've been trying to figure this out for a while now with no luck. How do I get Logic X to reference audio files on my hard drive without importing them in to the project itself? I've got a lot of remix type tracks that use long audio files, and each one of the projects is at least 700mb. I'm very organized with my folders, so I have no need for Logic to keep its own copy of the files.
I've gone in to File -> Project Settings -> Assets and unchecked all the boxes including audio files, but no matter what I try or what order I change the settings and import the files in, as soon as I drop in a 30mb file my project instantly becomes 70mb. Changing the assets settings does nothing, and even if I delete all the tracks and do File -> Project Management -> Clean Up, it doesn't delete any of the files and the project stays the same size.
Am I missing something obvious or is Logic glitching? Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

Siri will make the letters uppercase by default. There is no way to change this. However, siri deals with lowercase just like it deals with punctuation. You have to say it. For example if I say lowercase l lowercase o lowercase l siri will write lol but if I just say l o l it will wright LOL. So just say lowercase before each letter (I tested this and unfortunaely it only works with each individual letter).

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

Made a drop down menu. How can I get the drop down to fade in and out? !

Hi guys!
I've created a drop down menu (with the help of you legends on here! )...Now I just need it to animate so when the user hovers over the main menu item, the drop down fades in.
Here's the HTML I have...
    <ul id="nav">
        <li><a href="#">Nav 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 3</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 3</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 4</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 5</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 6</a></li>
    </ul>
...and here's my CSS...
ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; z-index:999;}
ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav li a {color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
* html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 6 */
* + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 7 */
#nav ul {width:208px; left:-9999em; list-style:none; margin:35px 0; padding:0; position:absolute; z-index:999;}
#nav li:hover ul {left:auto;}
#nav li {float:left;}
#nav li li a {width:190px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; padding:8px; margin:0; }
#nav li li a:hover {background-color:#000; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
#nav li:hover {background:url(assets/images/frame/navOn.jpg);}
From what I can make out, I assume I need either Javascript or JQuery...
Does anyone know how I can get the drop down to fade in and out?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SM

Yes, you'll need a client-side script to do fade-in/fade-out fx. Look at jQuery Superfish.

How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC

How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC. l lose all internet account I've three year. i lose my phone all app for a day even I safe all informating and apps in ICloud but I lose all my phone information . Like I have new phone and I do not have all my date . For new phone i can not use over 10 apps for my phone

You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those. Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

I just bought splashtop, you have to have your home computer online,and download the pc version. I have used it ot watch movies and to "go to work" on my ipad. It controls the desktop through the ipad. Whiteboard by splashtop does that and more and is on sale. The education director at the hospital I work at is using that one.
Splashtop 4.99 remote desktop(or laptop) control. Whiteboard 9.99 is remote control and more 9.99
