I had to trash pref files when upgrading to Logic 9

Started with Logic 7 three years ago...
So yesterday I upgraded to Logic 9 from 8, and I had two unusual problems.
First, when I would record a track, the waveform overview wouldn't draw. It would make the blue box, with a line down the middle, and I had audio, but no visible waveform. If I manually prompted Logic to redraw it, it would...
But then on subsequent tracks they wouldn't have a waveform either. Now it's pretty common for Logic to ignore rendering these while you're actually recording something. It's focused on getting your audio on the drive... but as soon as you stop, it will immediately display your waveform and that wasn't happening.
I also was getting a "disk too slow message". I was recording to an internal drive and I have recorded multiple tracks simultaneously with Logic 8, so a single voice track shouldn't have made a difference.
Repairing permissions seems to have stopped the "disk too slow message", and as far as the waveform overview, I trashed the pref files. (Logic will make new ones when you relaunch it) That seems to have fixed the issue.
I went through something similar when they came out with 8. I actually had to delete the old program and do a complete re-install.
Having gone through that, which isn't much... Logic 9 looks really good. Some great new features...
Here's a question: How can we get Apple to give us a .pdf manual? Is there someplace we can put in the request?
Based on what I've seen, that's the biggest disappointment everyone has!

  • Strange behavior in CS3 WinXP not fixed by trashing Prefs file

    My doc has many objects on multiple layers. 85% of the objects are strokeless filled objects, filled with only 5 different colors. A small number of the objects are not showing the correct fill color when placed over other objects. They show the correct color when moved. All layers are "normal" transparency, 100% opacity.
    Tried trashing prefs file but that didn't help. Any ideas?

    They are probably set to over print which is an object setting that stays with the file. However you should only be able to see the effet if you have Overprint Preview on and trashing the preferences should setyou back to the default of not having Overprint Preview on.

  • Cmd+Option Start iMovie trash pref file - From what version ?

    Hi
    Cmd+Option Start iMovie trash pref file - From what version ?
    As I see it - it must be a New Feature to iMovie'13 (vers. 10.0.x) or does this work long back in time ?
    To set iPhoto right - has been working for quite a while - but reg iMovie - Anyone knows ?
    Any other program that can be cured this way ?

    You need iDVD to make a video DVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Do i loose all the installed software and files when upgrading to mountain lion from 10.6.8

  • Do i lose files when upgrading to Lion?

    I am preparing to upgrade to Lion fromsnowleapard, i don't have a back up, but my question is:
    Do I lose files when upgrading to Lion? I have microsoft office for MAC 2011 installed and files for garageband which I realy don't want to loose!

    If you have files you don't want to lose, you should back up your system regardless of upgrading or not.  Buy an external drive and clone your system or use Time Machine to back it up.
    The normal Lion upgrade won't delete your data if things go correctly, any hiccups and you'll need that backup.

  • Do I need to backup my files when upgrading from tiger to leopard?

    Not sure if I need to backup all my files before upgrading from Tiger to Leopard (to use a Mac Box Set), have bought a Seagate 1TB FreeAgent GoFlex Home hard drive to back up on. Was told I wouldn't need a WiFi router but have now discovered I would need a dual Ethernet port to be connected to the internet and the hard drive which my Mac mini only has access for one, either the internet or the hard drive. So I ask do I really need to back up before upgrading? or can you get dual Ethernet ports?

    Only if your data has any value to you.
    If everything works perfectly, you should lose nothing.
    If anything goes wrong, it is possible to lose data.
    Personally I don't want to trust my data to everything working perfectly so I back it up.
    As to the question of dual ethernet ports, you don't need them actually. If you create a LAN with a router then the multiple ports on your router will allow you to connect to both the internet and disk at once.

  • Aperture cannot locate master files when upgrading to new OS X Leopard

    I have recently upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. The problem I have encountered is that when trying to locate the master files of my pictures, Aperture cannot because it thinks my files are in my hard drive located in my previous OS X and that the volume is not mounted. I cannot 'Relocate Masters for Projects' or bring my masters back online since it is the hard drive I am currently running Leopard. Does anyone else have this problem and possibly a resolution? Thank you very much.

    I had a similar problem, and this how I fixed this.
    Select all the files, and either select "Manage Referenced Files" from the File menu or from the contextual menu when you right click the selected files. Use the dialogue that appears to navigate to your master files [make sure that "Show only Files Not Found" is NOT selected] and reconnect your files. If you have files in a number of albums/projects/folders this may take some time.
    Quit Aperture, and if a dialogue shows up saying that it is updating previews DON'T SELECT CANCEL. When you re-launch Aperture everything should be fine.

  • Is there a way of deleting old files when upgrading to Lion

    So I'm finally thinking about switching over from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5.  Normally, when I upgrade to a newer OS, it's usually when a newer OS than that comes out.  ie. Mountain Lion is out, so Lion would have seen it's issues and has been updated as much as it can.  Basically, 10.7.5 is the best Lion will ever get.  Hence why I'm willing to upgrade.  I'll admit, I'm lazy when it comes to having to reinstall everything, but because old OS extensions and kernels don't get deleted when you upgrade to newer OS, I usually install a clean OS, which means I have to reinstall all my apps.  I'm wondering if there's a way for all older OS system files that are not necessary anymore, to be deleted upon upgrading.  Or will Apple ever design an upgrade that will do so.

    Buy Lion, erase your disk and install.

  • Can not print pdf files when upgraded to Mountain Lion?

    I can see my pdf file until I go to print...then the page goes blank in review and my printer spews out blank pages. HELP! I never had this problem until I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

    Let's try this:
    You said;
    then the page goes blank in review and my printer spews out blank pages
    I'll take a guess that review should read Preview, is that correct (If it is the answer to Eric's question is Preview)

  • Missing files when upgrading to i-tunes 7.01

    I have upgraded to 7.01 and none of my music files have been transfered to the new version. I have searched my pc for album names but nothing was found.
    Another user on the same pc did not have this problem as all her music files were transfered to the updated version.
    Can anyone help as I don't fancy having to re-load all my albums again!

    I get as far as the download page and then I get a message saying that my security configuration will not allow the file to download.
    belladonna tries to download the itunes installer from appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net.
    so perhaps check to make sure that you don't have *.edgesuite.net on your restricted list in your Internet Options.

  • Do I Need to Save Files when upgrading?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm upgrading from Premiere Elements 2 to 9 and would like to know if I have to save my other files, videos & projects to another drive or will the upgrade keep them where they are at, on my E drive?
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Thanks, Steve.
    I finally finished old projects, installed Premiere 9 and started on new ones. A question that  I can't seem to get an answer for so far:  I've added multiple tracks to make a music video.  Any suggestions on how to work with visualizing multiple tracks.  To view each individual track in the monitor panel or switch between tracks, I use the enable feature.  I know there has to be an easier way.  Will adjusting the transparency or opacity help?
    Thanks again!

  • How do I transfer email files when upgrading from OS9 to OS X(10.2.8)?

    I upgraded to OS X(10.2.8) and was able to locate and open all the "old" files except the email files (so I reversed the upgrade).
    Using Outlook Express in OS 9. Is there a way to find the email files from the OS 10 configuration or somehow export or transfer the email files prior to making the upgrade from 9 to 10?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    eMac Mac OS 9.2.x Upgrading to OS X (10.2.8)
    eMac   Mac OS 9.2.x   Upgrading to OS X (10.2.8)

    Apple Mail will import mail from MS Outlook Express. The current version has the import function under File>Import Mailboxes. I think that the version which shipped with 10.2.8 did, too.
    MSOE keeps its mail in the Microsoft User Data folder, typically either in the Documents folder or at the root level of your hard drive. If you tell Mail to search for mail form MSOE, it will try to find it in a Microsoft User Data folder. If you've moved your mail, tell Mail where you moved it to.

  • Aperture Crashes - Trashing Pref File doesn't help

    I opened the most recent version of Aperture, and it instantly crashes. I've tried deleting the Aperture.plist file, and it doesn't help. It doesn't even get to the point of creating a new plist. I'd appreciate any help available, the error message I get is:

    What changed since last time you launched aperture?
    Try this first to isolate the issue to your library or your system
    1) hold down the option key while launching aperture. When prompted choose create new library. Just create it on your desktop or something so you can get rid of it later. If goes will and aperture starts with a blank library quit aperture and do the same thing but navigate back to your original library with choose library and go to step two.
    2)If it still crashes with your real library hold down option and command while launching Aperture and choose rebuild library and see if that helps.

    Drag a folder or an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list. ( I don't find any folder from my hard disk.

    You should backup before you do it, then you won't lose anything.
