Logic 7.1.1 won't let me record audio!

Installed Logic Pro 7 as upgrade to Logic Express. After initial install, I was able to record one audio track. Also, wanted to get my external midi modules to play back through audio track. After switching the audio driver back and forth between Built-In Audio and FireBox, something happened where I cannot see the "Rec" button in the channel strip. Therefore, cannot record audio tracks.
I checked to see if I could record in Logic Express and GarageBand and worked just fine. Back to Logic Pro 7, it also seems that changing input/output sources in the Audio/MIDI setup app had no impact on anything. I changed the output to Built-in audio and would still hear through the FireBox. Interesting in GarageBand I can set the input to FireBox, the output to Built-In Audio and can hear what I'm recording and audio instrument and audio tracks through my computer speakers. Not the case in Logic - when I go into the Audio setup, I can only choose one driver or the other (Built-In or Firebox). As mentioned earlier, making changes to the Audio/MIDI Setup has no effect in Logic.
Please help.

For some unknown reason, Itunes won't let me edit Audio info

So I recently synced 1891 songs to my iPhone 5. Whilst the process was completed successfully I noticed where in my itunes library all of the artists were organised accordingly. But suddenly, due to some kind of idiotic magic a lot of my music had missing information/wrong information. Oh well, this happens I thought placidly believing that all I had to do was fix the info myself. But lo and behold for some unknown reason Itunes won't let me edit any of the info of the music on my Iphone 5. Why? I don't know. But I know for a fact that none of the music is "Read-Only" because I check and I did the same process with the same files on a different computer. My new computer (currently using) is authorized and everything seems to be in order, I have no idea why this isn't working but some help would be appreciated. Please. I'm sick of having to read forum after forum after doing the simplest things on Itunes, please someone from Apple answer my question with efficiency, or create a less convulted program

Sounds like the ID3 tags are messed up on those songs.
iTunes imports using v2.2 tags. Convert the tags to v2.3 and try adding the artwork.
Right-click > convert ID3 tags
Also, make sure they are not read-only files.

Logic pro 9 with akai miniak synthesizer/midi recording audio output!?

I'm using logic pro 9 with my akai miniak/midi. I know how to use the sounds/instruments in logic pro but I want to record "programs/instruments" from my miniak synthesizer keyboard. It shows that Logic receives that info but there is no audio sound when I play it back.

Midi = Data only not Audio
To record Audio from your Akai.... You need to connect audio cables from your Akai's audio outputs to Audio inputs on an audio interface connected to your Mac..

Logic pro 7 session won't let me extend the length of my sequence

that slider at the top that lets you extend the length of your sequence won't budge passed 2318 or somenthing like that. Is their a cut off limit? why isn't it let me extend it any further?

This is from the Reference manual page 93
Song End
Below the song title, you’ll see a numerical field that indicates the song end position. As soon as Logic reaches this position, it will stop automatically, except when recording. In this situation, the song end point is automatically moved to the end of the recording.
The maximum length of a Logic song is 8550 quarter notes, or about 2158 bars in 4/4 time.
A song can therefore last a maximum of around 70 minutes at a tempo of 120 bpm. At 95 bpm, the maximum length is o ver an hour and a half.
If you need to increase this length, for film synchronization as an example, just halve the tempo. You can achieve the same result by using 4/8 time instead of 4/4 time, and treating quarter notes as eighth notes. A 4/8 song at a tempo of 60 bpm (equivalent to 4/4 at a tempo of 120) has a maximum length of more than 4273 bars, or over 2 hours and 22 minutes.

Logic X version10.0.7 won't let me record two audio tracks simultaneously how can I rectify this please?

I've got two mics set up through my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 on Audio tracks 1 and 2 on Logic. Both channels seem to be reading the signal ok. However, when I go to record anything only track 1 or 2 record any signal and not simultaneously.
If anyone has had similar problems or can help me it would be very much appreciated!

Hello, yes I am using Mono tracks.
The input select is greyed out as can be seen in the screenshot. It won't allow me to do anything!

Logic won't let me record stereo style! Only the left channel.

I was recording just fine with my keyboard connected to my TASCAM US-122 USB interface with an instrument cable today then all of the sudden I could only hear the keyboard in the left side of my headphones. I tried the other line-in and then I could only hear myself on the right side. What went wrong here? Keep in mind, it was working just fine but in between takes it cuts one side out. And all of my pan adjustments are equal.

If you are using a single, jack to jack cable you are effectively recording in mono, on one channel. When you are monitoring your recording signal you will only hear one side because your tascam is only sending it to one logic channel...
Your tascam has a mono direct monitoring switch - you should switch it on when recording with only one jack to jack cable - it will allow you to monitor directly through the interface whilst hearing your sound on both sides. You should record to a mono logic track and you will then be able to pan it afterwards as desired.
For a true stereo keyboard recording you would need to connect two jack to jack cables from your keyboard (if it has left and right outputs) into two separate mono channels on your interface. You could then record to a stereo track on logic, or two separate mono tracks panned hard left and right.
I may be wrong, but I reckon your problem stems from not properly understanding how the stereo field corresponds to recording channels.

My laptop won't let me play audio or video when connected to my tv

I have an HP Pavilion G61-429WM and it used to work just fine when connected to my tv. Then a couple of weeks ago it just wouldn't play any of my downloaded movies. I went on Itunes and it wouldn't play the music. Then, I went to youtube and it wouldn't even let the video play although the sound did come from the laptop. Like I can surf the web and the prgrams and whatnot but whenever it comes to video and audio it kind of just freezes..Help??

I got a solution
First check out your performance settings and if u dont know where to find it just right click on my computer and enter to propreties then click on performance and tools, then if the gamming and desktop aero system are 1.0 then you have three solutions.
1) Install a new windows
2) check out your computer driver and install tge latest version
3) or simply you can download DRIVER PAC SOLUTION and install it then after installation is done you might wanna restart the system and check performance again then it should desplay NEW HARDWARE DETECT REFRESH NOW then click on refreah and the rating is gonna go up from1.0.to higher than 4.0.

IMovie '11 won't let me detach audio after importing from iPhoto.

The option is gray in the menu. I selected the clip I wanted, but it's still not letting me proceed. Any thoughts?

You are not missing anythng. The way to do it is to select the clip and then go to the Advanced menu and select Extract Audio. That's exactly what you are doing.
If it is not working, then probably your iMovie preferences have become corrupted. I suggest that you try the oft recommended maintenance procedure of deleting preferences and then doing a permissions repair.
To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then repair permissions by using the Disk Utility app on your Mac, which is located in the Utilities folder. Click on Disk Utility and then select your hard drive icon located in the pane on the left side of the Disk Utilty window. Then click on repair permissions and wait 3-4 minutes for the permissions to be repaired. Then relaunch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted.
Make sure that you have sufficient disk space for iMovie to operate: 20 GB is often recomended on this site.
Make sure that all iLife programs are updated to current.
Hopefully that will solve your problem.

ITunes won't let me import audio files to my library

I try and drag a song from my music file into iTunes and it just doesn't do anything. I've also tried File > Add file to library but that still doesn't work.
It doesn't give any sort of error or anything. Just doesn't do anything at all.

That is the usual reaction when iTunes encounters a file that it finds to be incompatible. Assuming it is a valid MP3 that works in other players, the problem can usually be corrected by treating with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator.

Audio MIDI Setup won't let me change Audio Output format

When I try to change the format to 48000.0 Hz it automatically changes it back to 44100.0 Hz, which in turn changes the Audio Input format to the same. I am also using an iMic Audio Interface, if that helps at all.

Here's the error message:
Audio MIDI Setup couldn’t open the MIDI Server so you can’t view or edit your MIDI configurations.
If you recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then open Audio MIDI Setup again. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, contact the driver’s manufacturer for further support.

Logic does not see my hd omni as an input device. Any ideas? I've been told to reinstall logicpro - but apple won't let me because it says its already installed on this machine.

I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

I am trying to export all of the separate audio files from Logic Pro X so that I can transfer them into pro Pro Tools, however it won't let me do it without the panning information. The option to untick panning is greyed out. How can I do it?

I have exported the separate audio files, but it contains the panning information. When the export pop up window opens, the export with panning information box is ticked, but it is greyed out so it won't let me unselect it. How do I fix this problem?

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really

Just uploaded mountain lion and now it won't let me buy Logic Pro X in the App store. Error 100 over and over again.

I was trying to get logic pro X. It's not letting me purchase it after updating.

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try purchasing Logic Pro X.

Logic 9 crashed and won't open again

Hello everyone,
I have the latest Logic Pro 9 and I'm working on a MacBook Pro
2.7 ghz
4 gigs memory.
Started recording a track with midi and audio tracks,
At one point logic crashed so I reopened it and kept recording.
Everything was fine,then I shut my computer down and opened
It again and it started searching for my battery drums which are all in the correct folder.
After a few battery drum searches it just stays there trying to load ??!
No more dialog messages ?
I have never ever had an issue with either logic or my MacBook Pro.
I try to open up early saves and sometimes it opens but not all the time.
Anyone having the same issue ??
Also since my system crashed I opened a fresh logic and dragged and dropped all the midi and audio files to a brand new project and I'm still having the same issue,it won't fully load up ?
I'm starting to wonder if battery is messing with the computer ?
The only fix I found was to shut down the computer and start it up again and then it loads sometimes ??
Any advice would be helpful,
Thank you

It seems you have a corrupted Project so to rescue most of the data from this corrupted project you can open a new project and then use the Import Data feature of Logic to bring across the tracks from your corrupted project... to this new Project
