Just read the Logic Pro forum. People there think it stinks!
I for one do too.
you took a tool that worked and did the typical apple "buy now, works later" approach. seriously. could you please not waste my time with beta testing unless you pay me!
Hi Folks,
I paid the money a while back to buy Logic Pro X from the App Store and never installed it because the App Store wouldn't let me. I currently have a working install of Logic Pro 9 on my Mac. When I try to download the new version, the button in the App Store is ghosted out, and it says that Logic Pro Xhas already been installed.
I'm assuming that this has to do with existing folder names. I had a similar problem with Final Cut Pro 7 (which I had to keep in top shape to continue work with editors on our legacy FCP7 video projects) when I moved to FCPX. It was a fairly simple process to group FCP 7, as well as the other FCP Studio 3 programs, and put them into a directory called Final Cut Studio 3. The big caveat was to NEVER update any of the Studio 3 programs again, because updated FCP 7 library items would end up the the FCPX libraries.
My question is this: has anyone had success by renaming the Logic Pro 9 application folder (which is currently named Logic Pro) as Logic Pro 9 and proceeding with the Logic Pro X install (which I assume will create a folder called Logic Pro?) Additionally, I am looking for advice about whether I need to do anything with the existing Logic Pro 9 libraries.
Thank you,
KimK

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?
Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them. -
Provide Feedback for the Logic Pro User Manual and Onscreen Help Here
The Apple documentation team for Logic Pro would like to know what you think about the Logic Pro Help documentation (available in the Help menu):
• How often do you use Logic Pro Help? Under what circumstances do you use it most?
• Do you use the printed manual or the onscreen help more? Which one do you prefer?
• How do you find what you're looking for in Logic Help: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
• What do you like about the Logic help?
• What would you like to see us improve? What is missing?
• What needs more in-depths coverage in the Logic help?
• In learning Logic, did you use the Logic Getting Started Guide? If so, do you feel the book provided a good introduction to the application? Is there anything you can think of that would make the Getting Started Guide more helpful to you? Did you use the tutorial song that accompanies the Getting Started guide?
• What are the most important concepts/features a new user has to understand to get started with Logic?
• By what method do you ususally learn a new application? For example: provided manuals, third-pary tutorials or books, training classes?
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or online help that you consider to be good models for the Logic Pro manual and onscreen help?
• What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in Logic Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had with the Logic Pro documentation?
• Are there any other methods of delivery or media you think we should explore?
• What size of computer display do you typically use to view the onscreen help? For example: 12, 15, 17, 20, 23, or 30-inch?
• What resolution is the computer display set to when viewing Onscreen Help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280 x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
• Do you use multiple computer displays?• How often do you use Logic Pro Help? Under what
circumstances do you use it most?
I use it often. not everyday, but there is always some little command or procedure that you can't remember
• Do you use the printed manual or the onscreen help
more? Which one do you prefer?
I use them both, but the onscreen help a little more often. Some times I like to walk away from the computer and sit on the couch and read the manual, just to have a change of scenery
• How do you find what you're looking for in Logic
Help: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links,
PDF search?
Table of contents and search
• What do you like about the Logic help?
It's right there on the computer, and being able to search by key words
• What would you like to see us improve? What is
missing?
I think real time animation would be real cool but I doubt that is practical
• What needs more in-depths coverage in the Logic
help?
Things that Logic has and you won't find in other programs, like explaining the environment in more detail. how to make better use of transformers. The Transform window could be explained more clearly.
• In learning Logic, did you use the Logic Getting
Started Guide? If so, do you feel the book provided a
good introduction to the application? Is there
anything you can think of that would make the Getting
Started Guide more helpful to you? Did you use the
tutorial song that accompanies the Getting Started
guide?
I didn't use it, although it looks great, I went right into the reference manual. I did look at the tutorial song, which was nice cause it gave me some hands on experience with moving things around
• What are the most important concepts/features a new
user has to understand to get started with Logic?
Logic is different that other DAW's. Logic's way of doing things may seem real strange to someone who came from using another program. as I said before, spend more time on things that are only found in Logic, like the environment. It really frightens some people.
Many of the questions here in this forum are midi related. people seem to be having a real hard time making midi work in Logic. The manual could be more detailed in explaining midi communication and how the environment is the heart of all of this
• By what method do you usually learn a new
application? For example: provided manuals,
third-pary tutorials or books, training classes?
Provided manuals and a lot of trial and error. Also forums such as this are a great asset
• Are there any particular examples of manuals or
online help that you consider to be good models for
the Logic Pro manual and onscreen help?
No, logic's manual is as good as most others.
• What do you think is the most difficult
feature/concept to grasp in Logic Pro?
For me it was the transform window, it took me a while to get the hang of it. none of the other programs I worked in had anything quite like it.
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had
with the Logic Pro documentation?
there are a few errors, so it is frustrating when you are following the manual but not achieving your goal. For example, page 112 says:
There are two possible locations for user icons:
The ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons folder can contain icons which are only valid for the particular user (~ is the user name). If you save your icons in the root directory—/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Resources/Icons—the icons are valid for all users. If icons with identical numbers exist in both folders, the icons found in the user folder have priority.
But this is not the case, they actually go in /Library/Application Support/Logic/images/Icons
there was a couple other mistakes like this too, but i can't remember right now
• Are there any other methods of delivery or media
you think we should explore?
If you wanted to get into doing video tutorial, that would be cool. there is a web site called atomic learning http://www.atomiclearning.com/ they have quicktime video tutorials for a ton of different software applications, some apple, and for a flat fee of 79.99 for a year you can spend as much time as you like learning all of the software applications. I may sign up to learn Web design, and maybe final cut pro. Apple could do something like that for all of the apple software and do it much better I would think, and you guys would make a fortune. well I guess not compared to the fortune you are already making
• What size of computer display do you typically use
to view the onscreen help? For example: 12, 15, 17,
20, 23, or 30-inch?
20 in cinema display
• What resolution is the computer display set to when
viewing Onscreen Help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280
x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
1344 X 840
• Do you use multiple computer displays?
no, just the one -
I've just migrated my Logic Pro 9.1.8 to a new Mac because my old computer crashed. They are asking for a serial number, but I don't have the install disks anymore. Is there someplace in the software itself that I can find the serial number?

Hi - my 2011 Mac Pro no longer recognizes devices in the usb ports, I've been told it's the logic board. is there a way I can connect the iomega external hard drive to it through the firewire or thunderbolt ports?

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing? -
I there, my question is quite simple, I would like to know if the "apple remote control" can be used with a mac mini and , if so, it can be used to control also the "logic pro" functions (e.g. record, start, stop etc). Thks a lot, Danilo
Good work, thanks for the report.

I have purchased a mac mini only to find I am unable to run Logic pro 9 , is there any way this can be achieved? It has been suggested that I partition the drive and install a copy of an older operating system to run the Logic Pro, is this feasible?
BDAqua wrote:
....but some other new Macs will boot frome a clone of 10.6.8...
Only with a whole lot of effort and instability. As the new Minis have
hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
running 10.6.8. I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
be enough to be unusable is the question. -
I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this?
I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this? I am using Aperture 3.2.2 with a MacBook Pro.
I don't know -- sorry. I don't think it matters -- once your camera is supported, you can easily force a re-processing of the Masters. If you can import them as RAW+JPEG pairs, I would. Set the JPG as Master until Aperture can convert the RAWs.
I don't use RAW+JPEG. Can someone who does offer some suggestions .
(Added:)
And _always_ back up your files. In this case, if you have to, you'll be able to re-import them.

Just want the information to be out there - my Mac Book Pro has been stolen! Serial no W8****ATN, model A1278 what could I do to track it or at least block it?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>You can use iCloud to lock it if you had that set up. Otherwise, the only thing to do is report the theft to the police. You may want to contact your homeowner's insurance to see if it would be worth filing a claim with them also.

Is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name?
Hi
recently i just got this project need to read data from excel file, and after a few days of research i understand u can read and write to excel to worksheet that the name or postion is known.
but is there any way to just read the excel worksheet name? As there excel format is not fixed and i need to search and open only the sheets i need.
I try change it to string but dun seem to work.
not sure is this the right way... anyone?There is nothing to coerce actually.
First, create a constant ref for the prop node on the left-most. Then, del its wire & move it to the Variant to Data function & connect to it. Now, rt-click on the ref constant & choose Select ActiveX Class > Browse.. option. Select the Type Library as Microsoft Excel 11.0... & the Object as _Workbook.
Thats it, it ll automatically fetch you the Excel_Worksheet reference as the data.

I'm a israeli client i just get the macbook pro from U.S.A and i had received the 100$ gift from Appstore
i'm tryin to enter the code of the gift and they tell me your itunes store (israeli) does not match that of the gift certificate !
how can i get the 100$ gift and how can i realize it ?!Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
I just upgraded from Logic pro 9 to Logic Pro X on my computer, but all my EXS24 libraries are missing all of a sudden. How do i Get them back???
I have checked both the resource folders, and made backups from Logic pro 9, but its not recognizing them, or saying that they're missing a bunch of samples.
What do i do?Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -

Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments?
Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments (the ones you can play with a MIDI keyboard)? From what I've read so far, there are a number of new software instruments in the LPX additional content (as well as loops, etc, but I'm looking for the software instruments). I cannot seem to find this information in the product pages or documentation, though.
With older versions, I was able to find a list of all of the software instruments that came with the software, and all of the software instruments that came with the Jam Packs. Is that list available from Apple, or does anyone have one from somewhere else?Hi Guys,
I exported my folders from a clean LPX install, does this give you what you want?
First one is the Patch instruments:
