Logic 8.0.1 Folder Problems

We are having problems opening up folders from previous projects now (last saved template was from 8.0.0 (and worked in that ver). The "instrument" group folder (with region data) will not expand in the arrange view. For example, I double click on the region, it will not bring up my group of midi instruments now. In the browser we have the instruments listed an it will bring up one at a time. Anyone else with this issue? Is this a known bug?
Thanks!
OS: 10.4.11
Mac: PPC 2,7 with 8gb kingston ram
Logic: 8.0.1

That's disturbing. If you open a mixer below with the yellow link enabled, does it show you channel strips for each folder?

No eligible version of Logic found in Applications Folder ?

The Logic Pro 7.1.1 update installs fine on the G4 and G5 macs (running 10.3.9 with RME PCI audio hardware) but on the Powerbooks (667 DVI, running 10.4.1, no ext audio hardware) it refuses to install.
The installer does open and for a splitsecond some sort of readme stuff is visible, but an alert pops up stating the updater wouldn't find 'an eligible version of Logic in the Applications folder'. Which actually isn't true as there is Logic 7.1.
I thought it might have sth to do with keyboard layout, system language or Logic's application language, but this doesn't seem to be the case as I have changed them to and fro to no avail.
Is it just portable macs that experience this ? Any ideas ?

Thanks for the tip, David, I know renaming can cause trouble, but Logic was untouched (at least its naming;-)
What actually did just now solve the problem was an OS (combo) update from 10.4.1 to 10.4.2.
Not that I would understand this, really, but I'm glad it helped.
Edit : I had mixed-up menu languages in Logic 7.1.1 when I first opened it. Closed the app and un-checked all other languages under 'information'. Now I'm back to standard english and Logics size also has changed from some 250 MB to 95 MB. Probably because all the .lproj language files went into an 'unused' folder.
In case you have trouble updating to 7.1.1 you may want to check if system and logic language match. My theory is that an OS update possibly sorts out the languages anew and this calms the 7.1.1 updater.

Folder problems on external drive, not showing correct file size

I've run across a strange problem. I'm media managing for a tv show, meaning I'm offloading video from CF cards onto 2 external drives, one is a Drobo Raid (set up for backup) and another is a Lacie rugged drive. After copying the media to both drives, the folder I copy will match, but sometimes as I drill upward in my folder structure, suddenly the file sizes will not match. To be more clear: 2 folders will show differing file sizes, but inside that folder is only another folder,nothing else, which matches across the drives. I've shown all files in finder and there's no hidden files, though sometimes I see the ds_store files are different sizes (8k vs 16k), but that's not always the case. Sometimes if I simply create a new folder and move it's contents into it I can get the folders to match, but sometimes that doesn't work. It's part of my workflow to show that these copies match exactly via screenshots, and although the most important folder (the direct folder holding the footage) always matches, these folder problems are super frustrating as it's not constant, and any workarounds also work inconsistantly.
I had an accidental disconnect of the Drobo one time, and although none of the data seems to have any problem, I fear it's done something to the directory. The rugged drive is swapped out every few days and the problem seems to be on the Drobo. Because the nature of the data is pretty important, I'm afraid to just try messing around with repairing or other software solutions unless I know it's super safe and won't harm the data.
I'm at a loss as to what's causing it and at the very least how to avoid it cropping up. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

I had the same problem with my iMac, first I repaired the disk, then I ejected the disk, restarted, and then reinserted the USB in a different port. All of my files magically showed up. I don't know what caused the error but it has been working fine since.

Any Update on the "Ghost Folder" Problem

Just wondering if there has been any furhter insight into the "Ghost Folder" problem created after editing in PS CS3 (from LR2)?
Is there any manual way to get the image from the ghost folder to appear back in the proper folder?
Thanks
Ken

Hi Guy,
Thanks for the reply.
When I edited the image in PS CS3 I saved it to a folder as a .tif (so I could send it to a print lab). When I went back to LR2 the saved tif did not show up in my tif folder so I synchronized that folder and that's when it showed up in the "ghost folder" in LR2. When I look at the original folder of tifs this particualr image doesn't show up. I then tried to move (drag and drop) from the ghost folder into the original tif folder but LR tells me there is already an image there by that name.
So if I manually remove the ghost folder (via LR or in windows) what will happen to the saved tif?
Right now I have PS CS3 set up as the first editor in the preferences, with tif as thw working format. Are you suggesting that PS be set up as the additional editor as well? WHat do I put in the preference for the primary editor?
BTW, I am also working in Win XP Pro.
Thanks
Ken

Re-InStall Logic Pro X App Store Problems

Hello All, I am having problems will Logic Pro X when creating a New File or Using Templates it crashes. I have tried lots of things advised by many User web sites and searching the Web. It now appers I have to reinstall the App. Here lies the problem? When opening the App Store and my Purchases it tells me its installed? Greyed out. Do I have to now delete Logic Pro X to change this window? If thats the case do I have to delete ALL of Logic Pro X and content which well could mess up Logic 9 I still use and maybe Final Cut X God...There files and floders all over the OS Main drive?
There seems little in the way of backing up Logic Pro X with the installer for such occasions as I find mysellf in when using the App Store. I do have a recent clone of my hard drive but it well could have the problem in a bad file etc.. We dont have a disk image DMG anymore nor a DVD CD disk to revert to? Its crazy and whats puzzleing is I just download Mevericks with the insaller without it installing. I can back that up and insatll it when I wish and thats free? So it makes know sence when you have paid for a App?
Of cause maybe there's a simple explention and I have missed it? Thanks for any advise help or experiences, you may all have to reinsall such Pro apps one day? Cheers Don H

Ok found the solutions to reinstalling Logic X from the App Store….
1. First trash the App from your applications folder- command C + Command V paste to your desktop, then put it in the trash. You can't drag it to anywhere you get an Alias?
2. Make sure you unmount any external HD in my case had Logic X projects on?
3. Then empty the trash.
4. Go to the App Store and sign Out! Then close the app…
5. Restart the computer in Safe Mode hold the shift key down?
6. Once your desktop is up power down again restarting the computer normally - your emptying the cache files etc. or so I am told.
7. Once up and back to your normal desktop open the Apps Store - sign in and go to your purchases. You may have to sign out then sign in again?
With some Apple magic your Logic Pro X app should appear for INSTALL.
You will have to set everything up in Logic X again but hopefully you have a BK of your Key Commands? Just import?
It all appears a pain just to install Logic X again but it works. Many of you may not need to go through the various things to get the App Store to work. I did this with an Apple Logic X tech? There well maybe other ways of skipping powering up and down etc. At least you can reinstall and hopefully get rid of any previous bugs and problems? Cheers Don H

Move mail attachment to specified folder - problem

Hi,
I am busy making a script that downloads the mail attachments to a specified folder so that Hazel can work further on the files.
Here is what i am trying to achive:
Only Jpg, Tiff, Doc, Docx, mp3's and PDF's are moved to a folder called: Mail Attachments in the downloads folder and renamed with a prefix to the the date email was send. For Hazel to work correctly i also want to add the senders headers to the spotlight comment.
So far all went well and i got a script working that does all these things.
Only problem that is occuring now that images are duplicate twice in the folder:
first file as i want: i.e. 20130711_RTP_1846.jpg and the second file is only named 2013 with no extension aswell.
This happens only with the images, not with for example an PDF.
Here is my script, by the way this is my first script and i copied, paste things i found online tweaking it to my wishes.

What strange is, that if i take out the part where the comment is filled with the header info, the script works fine producing only 1 file, but when i added this part of the script, i have the two files!
Script is activated by a mail rule when mail has an attachment.
Here a screenshot with the two images:
Hope someone can help me, to tell me what i did wrong.
Grt,
Rob

The problem is subtle, but noticable in your screenshot (that was a stroke of genius).
Look closely at your screenshot. Note the file details below the image and you'll see the Name label:
"2013
07
11_130711RTP_1846.jpg"
Do you see the issue? It's not that the file is called '2013', it's called the entire expected file name, but with returns between the date elements. The problem is that return characters don't show in list view.
So why are the returns there?
That's because in the section of code where you build the comments you include the line:
                                        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
Then you build the file name:
                                                            set originalName to timeStamp & "_" & name oftheAttachment
Now the file name is technically a list of components (think of it as {originalName, timeStamp, "_", 130711RTP_1846.jpg} )
When this list is coerced back to a text object, AppleScript inserts the current text item delimiters between each element, which results in your multi-line filename.
The solution is actually a best practice when dealing with text item delimiters - always, always, always reset them when you're done.
In this case you only want to have returns in the comment, so you should restore the TIDs after you've built the comment:
set tid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
set _Comment to (_links as rich text)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tid
Now the TIDs will be set back to the default and you won't have the extraneous returns in the file name.

I am having the DCIM empty folder problem ..

The folder first showed that there were random folders with some pictures in them so I transferred them (the DCIM folder) (transferred to my computer), but there was only about 1/10 of my pictures that showed up.. now it says that the folder is empty after transferring the pictures that did show up. Where are all my other pics and how can i get them to show up? I have tried everything listed on other posts with same problem but none of the solutions worked for me >.< My girls have filled the iPad's storage with video and pictures and I am trying to clear them out as there is NO storage space left -- without deleting the vids/pics!

also forgot to add that on the iPad under photos it says there is none, but under Albums that is where the other pics are on the iPad.. does that make a difference about them not showing up in the DCIM folder?

Logic 9 + Mountain Lion = Performance Problems

Hi,
After months of debating to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I did it (and regret it like iOS 6).
I'm just wondering if anyone gets the issue with Logic 9, where it works for around an hour no problems, then the CPU meter goes mental and causes glitching in the audio no matter what I/O buffer size I choose, or what sample rate my projects in, OR how many plugins/instruments I have open?
It's really starting to affect my clients as to solve the problem the OS needs a full reboot.
I am fully updated in Software Update and it worked perfectly until Mountain Lion.
Hope there is a solution!
Tim

Your question is too vague... More details are required...

Logic 9.01 / Snow Leopard / problems with Sonata-font !

Is anybody here working with the adobe sonata score-font on Logic 9.01 and SL ?
Since I updated to 9.01 and OSX 10.61 I cannot not use it anymore - everytime i open the score-editor the CPU-usage goes up to 100% and Logic freezes when clicking inside the score.
Any Experiences / Solutions ?
On Logic 9.0 and OSX 10.58 it worked perfectly, the problem occured after updating to snow Leopard.
Thanks

Where are you changing the tempo? In the transport bar?
Try going to the "Lists>Tempo" tab on the right and set it there and see if it works

How I Solved My "Can't Import My Home Folder" Problem While Staying Sane

This may be a well-known work-around for Time Machine and Migration Assistant, but I didn't find any reference to it in searching in Google (which included some threads here), so I thought I'd post it in case anyone else is experiencing similar problems.
I was having problems with some program install permissions and tried fixing them in more traditional ways without success, so I decided it was a good day for an Erase and Reinstall of Leopard.
I didn't want to copy my entire Home directory's contents and I have 6 HDs (four internal and two external) totaling about 1.5TBs. So, to prepare for the reinstall, rather than use Backup, I copied all important files to my other drives and then I copied my Home directory to another drive in the machine. Satisfied that everything was backed-up, I reinstalled Leopard using the Erase and Install option and soon had a good system, fully updated.
However, when I went to copy the Home Directory I kept getting errors saying that I can't alter these files and folders, even when I drilled down into the subdirectories. I didn't try copying individual files, but then I had no desire to do so given the amount of time that would take.
I looked around but could find no good solution. However, I did come up with a workaround and this is what I did:
First, I moved my Home Folder designation to the one on the backup hard drive by:
1) Go to System Preferences
2) Click the lock to make changes and enter your user password
3) Right-Click on your User Account and select "Advanced Options"
4) From the drop-down window, to the right of the "Home Directory" box select "Choose..."
5) Navigate to the backup User Account home folder and select it and click "OK
6) Relock the Accounts pane
7) Now you can delete the "old" Home Folder under your OS drive: Users/user account
8) Now just copy the backed-up Home Folder (that is now your real Home Folder) to the OS drive: Users/user account
9) Repeat steps2, 3 and 4, this time selecting your now moved Home Folder in the OS drive: Users/user account
10) Now you can delete the backup or keep it AS a backup.
I know this is a kludgey, wrong way to do backup and that Backup is the way to go, but for those out there who don't do it or have some problem restoring it, this is a possible way around so that you don't end up having to restore everything by hand.
This workaround may have already been discussed and well-known, but I had not seen it and am posting this in the hopes that it will help someone in trouble.
JoeL

joeldm,
There is a "proper" way to do what you have done. First, one must create an account within the new installation using the exact same username and short name that was used in the old installation. Then, one enables the "root" account and logs in as root.
Within the root account, the local HOME folder that was created for the user is placed in the trash, then replaced with a (same-named) copy from the backup. THat HOME folder copy will be onwed by root, so this command must be run in Terminal:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chown -R username:staff /Users/username</pre>
In the above command, all instances of "username" are replaced with the user's short name. For example, if the user's name is "fred," the command would be typed exactly like this:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chown -R fred:staff /Users/fred</pre>
The command is executed when <RETURN> is pressed. NOTE: The specific command listed above applies only to 10.5.
One would then log out of the "root" account, and into the account in question. If all seems well, one would log back into the root account, empty the trash, then log out of and disable the root account.
Alternatively, if there is a Time Machine backup that can be used, the Time Machine interface can be used in the root account to replace the trashed HOME folder, instead of copying manually in the Finder. This would generally be a better method to use, if possible.
Scott
EDIT: If one wishes to replace/restore only certain portions of a HOME folder, this is possible. The same methods would apply to only limited segments within a HOME folder. -s

Logic Pro 7_Tascam fw 1884 problem

Hi all i ask yours help!!
i have buyed a new Tascam fw 1884 audio firewire controller, i installed all drivers for use it with Logic Pro 7, but i have a problem when i use Logic and do play after bit seconds come out a written said me: "Error while i trying to sync MIDI and AUDIO" and also i don t feel nothing sound on normal analog outputs or Phones channel(while under there are AIF and Audio instruments file. WHY ????? maybe the drivers are too old for my system that is a OSx Tiger 10.4.1?? ahhh another detail, i Tunes now don t play, see the tracks in the list but the songs don t start more.....
Please help me i have much work to do and very bit time!!! Thnxxxx

My firt advice would of course be to see if you have the latest driver installed and, if not, install it.
But it sounds like your Firewire Bus is overloaded, hence the sound dropping out and the Audio/Midi sync problem. Am I right in guessing you also have a Firewire hard drive? I had the same problem with my M-Audio firewire interface, because i also had a firewire hard drive. I had the same problem as you did with itunes as well.
The way I solved that was by switching my hard drive to a spare USB port, and use only my Audio Interface on the firewire bus. It's a bit annoying if you bought a Firewire drive for the sake of speed, but it works fine.
Hope that helped

Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Scan-To-Network-Folder Problem On New Dell Optiplex 3020

I hope that I am posting this issue to the correct board.
I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 3020 64-bit desktop running Windows 7 Pro. My home network now has the old HP printer and my original 2003 vintage Sony Vaio XP Home 32-bit on wired connections. There is also an HP Notebook 64-bit running Windows 7 Home, using a WiFi connection. I replaced a Linux clone (which had connected ok to the printer) with the new Dell on the same wired connection.
With the other 2 PCs, I was able to set up Scan To Network Folder using the original HP software with no problems. I used a current setup file from the HP site to set up the Dell. The file is: "OJP 8500vA909_Full_14 HP Webpack". The Dell prints fine, but when I try to set up the network scan folders on the Dell the setup stalls and I get a request for an SSL certificate. I don't know if this is being generated by the OS or by the HP setup file that I downloaded. I can't figure out how to get the network folders to work on the new Dell, and I know next to nothing about SSL.
To be clear, the old Sony is a 32-bit Windows Home Edition, the HP notebook is Windows 7 Home 64-bit, and the new Dell is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Sometime soon, the Sony will be retired and the OS environment will become much simpler.
While I'm at it, I probably should update the printer firmware. However, my guess is that I should wait to do that until the old 32-bit Sony goes out to pasture.
TIA for any advice and suggestions.

Hi Alla-guy,
As far as I know, you have posted your issue to the correct board, now let us see what we can do to get it resolved
I will answer your easier question first, in regards to the firmware. You can update the firmware whenever you are ready! You don't need to wait for the other computer to reach it's end, as the firmware is just within the hardware of the printer and shouldn't affect anything software wise on the computer, so go ahead and update the firmware when you have a few minutes!
As for the setting up to scan to a network folder, it is odd that it's asking for SSL, do you know if you're the administrator on the new computer?
I realize the instructions in this Set up and Use Direct Digital Filing for Windows document are for setup, but still have a look and make sure that is how things were going for yourself. Also, it may be a good idea to check any firewalls or anti-virus that you have and temporarily disable any firewalls or programs that could be blocking things over the network.
Let me know how this goes for you!

New logic board and network connection problems

My late 2007 MBP just had a new logic board installed. I have home and work wireless networks that are configured to connect automatically. This always worked flawlessly in the past. My MBP would find the network, connect and all was well. Since I've had the new logic board I'm having issues. The wireless network will be detected but an IP address is not assigned so I can't get on the network or internet. Both my home and work networks were set to assign a specific IP address to my computer. The MAC address detected by the router is correct, at least according to System Preferences.
The only way I can connect is to disable the firewall (Allow all incoming connections). When I do this I connect immediately to the network and everything works as normal. I can even turn the firewall back on and everything will be fine, that is until I leave work and turn the computer on at home. Then I have to go through this again. And then again when I go to work in the morning. I've tried deleting my router profile and resetting from scratch, deleting the network profiles in System Preferences and re-detecting. I don't know what else to try. It's an annoying problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Kevin

I think I have it fixed. One of the solutions I read about had to do with the 10.5.7 upgrade. I have always installed the smaller upgrades, not the larger "combo" upgrades. One tip suggested installing the full combo upgrade because, among other things, it re-creates two specific files that control how the computer interacts with the network. I installed the combo upgrade last Friday and connected without difficulty to the network at my office this morning. If I connect just as easily when I get home tonight I will consider the problem solved.
Cheers!
Kevin
