I need to reinstall sound lib should I wait to update to 8.0.1 till after?

Hi
I really love the new Logic and after years of GarageBand recording I switched and just finished a simple piano , sax and vocal CD. I've just been using the piano but I noticed some problems with some of the other sounds. Piano&Strings is only piano and many of the dual sounds don't seem to be dual . There are also some missing sounds. I called Apple and the Logic Tech(he was a bit rude) said to reinstall the sound library.
Should I wait to upgrade till after the reinstall of the sound library?
---Thanks for any help

Hi Bobsax,
It's pretty normal for tech support to bleat "reinstall, reinstall" but let's just check a couple of things first.
Some diagnostics for you (don't alter anything, just "check" when I've said to
Make sure the Inspector is visible
Double click on EXS24 on the track selected
Click on Edit in the top right hand corner of the EXS24 window
Play the graphic keyboard & check that you're getting same effects as when playing back a file
Under Zones down the LHS, click on one of the strong zones
Under Audio file, click-hold one of the downward pointing triangles
Select "Reveal in Finder" & check the file is there
Under Audio file, click-hold one of the downward pointing triangles
Select "Open in Sample Editor" (you may need to move windows around at this point)
Click on little loudspeaker at top of the Sample Editor window - and check that sample plays OK
In the column "Playback" check that Pitch is selected in all cases
If any of these don't work as expected, then you probably will need to reinstall the sounds. It doesn't matter when you do it (before or after 8.0.1) but I'd probably reconsider reinstalling the whole application again. I know that's 90 minutes out of your life but, if you had a problem with one part, you may have had problems with others as well and don't know it yet.
Make sure you don't try and move anything around in the installation. Allow the defaults for everything (all on the same drive). There are plenty of posts here that tell you how to move loops & samples around later and these have been well tested by fellow forum members.
Let us know how you get on.
Pete

  • Should I wait to Update?

    I have a first Gen Iphone, and have been away on vacation. I have not been able to update. Should I wait being that there are issues?

    I updated my 1st gen 8GB last night after debating whether to take a chance. First, I downloaded but didn't install the update. Then I "unsynched" all my photos, videos, and music leaving just mail, notes, etc. I was hoping this would help make the backup/restore/etc faster.
    Then I updated. Not sure exactly how long it took since I left the room. Probably about 15 minutes. Selecting and resynching my music and photos took longer. That probably took about 30-45 minutes.
    No problems. Love the software. Have noticed some sluggishness, but overall VERY happy.
    Good luck.

  • Need to reinstall Lightroom 2 softwear and Lightroom 3 update.

    My hard drive failed  and I had to replace it.
    So now I need to download and reinstall my Adobe Lightroom software.
    I bought "Lightroom 2" Oct 29, 2009 and upgraded it to "Lightroom 3" June 17, 2010.
    I have the order numbers and serial numbers.
    My question is, where do I go to download Lightroom 2 and the upgrade to Lightroom 3, or can I download Lightroom 3 and use my upgrade serial number to activate it?
    Can you help me with this?
    Thank you,
    PhotoJohn

    Photojohn,
    Yep, just download the final version of LR 3 and apply both serial numbers the first time you run it.

  • Should I wait to update to Mavericks?

    Hi I was wondering if I should wait to Install 10.9.1? I have heard a lot of people complaing about it being "slow" and I just don't want to have to go through the hassle of restoring, or doing a clean install.. Thanks.... I am new to the Forms but here are my basic specs to my computer (If I doesn't already say them)
    Mac mini Late 2012
    Intel Core i7.
    4GB Ram (Hopefully soon upgrading to 8GB or 16Gb)
    1TB Hard Drive.....
    Thanks people!

    This is normal. This happens with all OS X upgrades and near all that "slowness" is caused by an unsupported application or a corrupted installation. I ignore that type of opinions: if you have problems, format the hard drive and install OS X Mavericks as a clean installation. Also, note that you have got the latest Mac mini, that should work without any problem.
    It's simple: do you need any of the OS X Mavericks features now? If not, you can wait. OS X Mavericks has just been released, one maintenance update has been released and Apple is already preparing the next OS X Mavericks update. The OS X Mavericks performance will be improved in the future, so you may want to wait unless you need OS X Mavericks now.
    When you want to upgrade, open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks. Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • How long should I wait to download OS5?

    After reading all the problems some of you are having I'm in no hurry to update my iPhone 4.  This has to be a bug in iTunes, the iPhone or OS5.  Or, it's a problem with the servers being overloaded by anxious iPhone owners.  Since I can live without OS5 for now, although I would like to have the new features, how long should I wait before updating the OS.  Days?  Weeks?  Months?
    When I do update, will I have to download all of my apps again?

  • Upgraded to Lion, should have waited...

    I upgraded my 2007 Mac Pro 3GHz 8-core excellently-working, fully-updated Snow Leopard system to Lion last night.
    And I am stunned at how slow everything now is on my machine.
    I guess I should have waited for updates to appear, but I was an idiot and trusted all of the positive reviews on the App Store.
    I am very disappointed with Lion and should have stuck with Snow Leopard (which is probably by far the best OS Apple has made).

  • I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

    I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

    If you mean Siri then that is only on the iPad 3, it is not on the iPad 2 in iOS 6 (possibly because the iPad 2 doesn't have the Audience chip which the iPad 3 does). If there are other things that you think are missing (YouTube has been removed, and Passbooks is iPhone and iPod Touch only) ?

  • Adobe Bridge is not fuctiong correctly, I need to reinstall CS2

    I have Adobe CS2, I recently took a ton of pictures in Large and Raw with my Canon Camera. When I upladed then to my computer and wanted to work on the .RAW images my Bridge will not allow me to adjust the .RAW images.  I am assuming I need to reinstall my CS2.  How do I do this with out losing my activation codes.
    Thank you

    No, do not uninstall/reinstall.   What you need to do is reset preferences.   Hold down the Crtl key and start Bridge.  You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.  That should get you back to normal.

  • How to reinstall iphoto on my iMac.  it is currently installed but wont open and says i need to reinstall from appstore

    my iphoto is not working and it says to reinstall from appstore but in the appstore it shows already installed and there is no option to reinstall. do I need to try to move my current iphoto to the trash? if so what about all my pictures

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Help!!!!! I need to get iphoto lib off of hd which is running really slowly, and clicks rather more loudly than usual, how do i do this, im even on my iphone asking this!

    Help!!!!! I need to get iphoto lib off of hd which is running really slowly, and clicks rather more loudly than usual, how do i do this, im even on my iphone asking this! Computer also runs inly marginally faster in safe boot mode! Could the apple store help?

    It certainly sounds like your harddrive is dying.  I would Immediately backup your harddrive to an external USB or Firewire harddrive Before doing anything else.  It just may save your data in time before you lose it all.
    Hope this helps

  • I want to upgrade to Mavericks. Will I need to reinstall all of my apps and copy my files back to the hard drive?  I have not installed an OS on a Mac before and I'm wondering whether it is as involved as on a PC.

    I want to upgrade to Mavericks. Will I need to reinstall all of my apps and copy my files back to the hard drive?  I have not installed an OS on a Mac before and I'm wondering whether it is as involved as on a PC.

    Short answer: You do NOT have to reinstall all your apps and copy your files back.
    Longer answer: Upgrading the OS does not touch any user files. Upgrading the OS should not interfere with any applications which are compatible with Mavericks.  In my experience non-Apple apps are generally left unchanged by the upgrade.  It is possible that some apps may need to be upgraded. One good resource for checking application compatibility is RoaringApps.
    Finally, it is always wise to backup everything, just in case.

  • Need to reinstall Photoshop CS2 but it can't find a previously installed version so won't reinstall

    Photoshop CS2 told me there was a "major problem" and that I would need to reinstall the software to continue using it.
    So I used the installer CD, but it told me it could not install because there was already a copy installed, which would need to be removed.
    So I removed the old version and tried to reinstall but now it tells me it needs a previously installed version in order to reinstall.
    Adobe "customer service"chat  is 100% useless on this, referred me to the 800 #, been on hold for over 45 miinutes now, and no relevant topics found on "help" forums.
    For a multibillion dollar monopoly, you'd think they could hire a couple of customer service reps but I guess it's all DIY "support" here, so can anyone help?

    So, you are NOT trying to reinstall an upgrade, but a purchased version (not in an upgrade path from one version to the next)?
    If that is correct, there should be no request for a "previously installed version." That only appears when one is installing an upgrade.
    Are you installing from physical media (a DVD), or from a download?
    Sorry, I do not have an answer for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • CS6 is missing from My Orders Page and I need to reinstall. Where did it go?

    I need to reinstall CS6, but when I visited my Adobe account > My Orders Page, it was not listed. In fact all order history is missing (all my upgrades). I need to get back to work and finding an answer to this is painful. Is this Adobe's attempt to force me into the CC? Has anyone else experienced this? How do I get my upgrades back?

    Hey kayo410,
    Sounds like they might have accidentally been removed from the toolbar. The toolbar can be customized pretty extensively, so it's not an uncommon mistake. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. It will show you how to restore the buttons.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I need to reinstall CS2, downloaded from Adobe but when run get serial nr missing, even if I use the one Adobe is providing

    Lost my laptop, and now I need to reinstall CS2, in order to install CS3. I downloaded CS2 from Adobe site but when I run the program I get an error message: Your Adobe Photoshop user name, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue. I was using the serial nr that Adobe is providing on the CS2 download page.
    Any help much appreaciated

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
