Logic crashed, key commands no longer work as well as certain windows/preferences/tools no longer exist, help!

While trying to record a guitar track direct through from a POD HD Pro (which I've done numerous times), Logic suddenly crashed. The screen went dark and my Macbook Pro rebooted. Once I opened Logic Pro X again, it looks like a more primitive and basic version of Logic. I no longer have the capability to open a separate mix/midi/score/etc window. When I select midi tracks they do not show up in the piano roll as to be able to edit. I've also lost all key command functions (i used just default Logic key commands). Is there any way to restore Logic Pro X or do I need to reinstall it? Thanks!

Sounds like Logic's prefs got deleted or corrupted so...
First, do this (Note you will lose any custom key commands you may have created ...)
Quit Logic pro X and then....
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Now after restarting Logic... go to Logic Preferences/Advanced and turn on all the advanced features...
Set other preferences back to how you like them (Not forgetting selecting your Audio device)
Things should be then back to normal again...

  • Key Commands - Assignment not working?

    I'm trying to add key commands to have everything 'at hand' but they get listed and don't work.
    Example:
    I open key commands, search for 'automation', select "View Track Automation" and assign it 'Control + T'. It's in there, it is also in the arrange window's view menu. But when I type 'Control + T' nothing happens.
    Still works in the pull down menu.
    Am I missing something?

    Im having a similar problem. i assign apple space to the 'play from beginning' command but it doesnt work. im following the instructions in a the martin sitter logic pro book so i dont believe im doing it wrong.
    if it was already assigned to something else then why would it let you assign it to a different command?
    anyhow, its clearly not in my case - when i press the keys all that happens is the cursors toggles to scissors. in fact it does that when only press the apple key. So its just ignoring my assignment, is it?
    of course, i know it doesnt 'ignore' it in the irrational sense i imply - there must be a reason. i want to know what it is.

  • Superscript Key Command Doesn't Work

    I can get the subscript key command to work, but I can't get the superscript key command to work. I'm using the key command Apple provides under the Keyboard Shorcuts help file in Pages (Control-Command–plus sign (+)). I could just use the menu command, but I'd prefer to use the key command. I'm using Pages on my MacBook Pro, if that makes any difference.
    Is there any way to get the key command to work so I don't have to use the menu command?
    If it helps, I'm using Pages '09 version 4.0.2.

  • Insert, Append to Storyline Key Command Shortcuts Not Working

    Hi,
    When I try to use the keyboard shortcuts for Append to Storyline (E), Insert (W), etc are no longer working in my FCP X.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Running FCPX 10.1.4

    Thanks Tom!
    I trashed the FCPX preferences (command and option keys while starting FCP X) and restarted the computer. That fixed the issue.

  • Some key commands are not working

    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro running OS 10.10.2. 
    When I use cmd/shift/4, nothing happens.  However, these keys work individually.  Similarly, in Pages, hitting cmd/shift/> will zoom the content in the window, but cmd/shift/< will not zoom back out.  I've check my keyboard settings and all of the keys are mapped correctly and set to default settings.  None of them seem stuck down. 
    Does anyone have any ideas of other things I can check to restore these functions?  Thanks!

    Yes, I've done this already.  It looks just like your image. 
    I rebooted, hoping that would fix it and it did not.  Also, this started before I loaded Yosemite and I was hoping loading it might fix the problem if it was something simple like that. 
    I checked the apps tab also (I have no apps) but the only one on there was the "show help menu" button and the keys listed for it are not replacing any other commands.

  • The mouse that came with my imac does not work very well in a window virtual machine

    I finally got Windows 7 on my iMac and am using FusionVM.  I installed one of my favorite games and the mouse goes soooooo slow I cannot use the game.  Any suggestions?  I am using the mouse that came with the iMac, magic mouse(??). 

    I have already tried that.  The mouse speed on the iMac is good.  The mouse speed in other Windows7 programs is good.  The problem arose when I tried to play Zuma's Revenge using Windows7.  This is the first game I have loaded since setting up the virtual machine. 

  • Some Logic key commands cannot be changed or???

    Hi!
    Now i know that Logic copyng region when i drag it by holding Option key
    So how i can reassign this key (to command key for example)?
    I cant find this command in commands list
    Please help!

    You can't.
    Logic's key commands are only re-configurable to within certain limits.
    OPT+dragging to make a copy of something is a standard Mac way of doing things. This can't be changed.

  • Logic crashes when using the "Close Project without Saving" key command

    The "Close Project without Saving" key command does not work in LP8. When I try to use it, Logic crashes. This is reproducible on my system. Can anyone try and confirm this?

    For me this shortcut is quite important on stage when I have to switch songs as fast as possible. It also is foolproof because on stage I never want to save with all the controller changes I did during a performance.
    Just hit the key command, load the next song, done.

  • Key commands not working

    I found an old post about this, but it didn't seem to have a solution to the problem.
    Some key commands I assign simply don't work. They even show up in the menus, but don't do anything (one example, I tried assigning shift-m for Create Marker without Rounding).
    Also, when the key command window is open, typing some key commands jumps to the assigned command, but with others it doesn't (I can see one of the menus at the top flash, as if it's trying to actually do the command). One example of this is command-m which is assigned to open movie. (oddly, getting rid of open movie and changing command M to create marker without rounding worked, although it still didn't jump to it in the list)
    If the function to show used key commands isn't working, how am I supposed to know what's free for additional key commands?
    I'm using the standard US keyboard, standard key commands in tiger (which don't seem to overlap any of the ones I'm tweaking).
    Any ideas on this? It's very frustrating and a big waste of time.

    It's also a pain that the key command window shows codes for the keys instead of what the keys actually are. <<</div>
    Actually, there are 2 methods for simultaneously assigning/viewing the assignment; one shows you alphanumeric charaters and one shows the key codes. But it is true that some key assignments won't work unless they're assigned as key codes.
    I agree -- it's time to either revamp this window (with all of the features you mentioned) or offer an explanation as to how it actually works so that people like us aren't left pulling our hair our because this window's functions don't always seems to work properly. Something like:
    "Hi, this is the Apple/Logic guys. We realize that some users find the Key Commands window to be problematic. Well..."
    and then it could go on in some of the following ways...
    a) there are a few things that don't work properly, such as X/Y/Z... We're hoping to fix the problem in the next release of Logic..."
    or
    b) if you're trying to assign (whatever) to (a function) and it doesn't work, try this instead...
    or
    c) if you're trying to assign (whatever) to (a function) and it doesn't work, please know there's an issue with this particular aspect of the Key Commands window that will be fixed in a future release...
    That's the kind of thing I think we'd all love to see.
    Maybe that's enough venting for now. Wouldn't want to attract the attention of the "venting police" LOL

  • Key command for playing region in sample edit window... doesn't work?

    I'm trying to get the play/stop key commands to behave as they did in L7. I want to use the enter and zero keys on the number pad to start and stop playback in the arrange window. I want to use the space bar ONLY to play back the selected region when I'm in the sample edit window.
    (reason being when you're flying back and forth between the two windows, it's all too easy to start the transport in the arrange window, an annoyance when editing individual pieces of audio in the sample editor)
    When I assign the space bar to the key command "play/stop region" in the sample edit window, it only plays the entire waveform... i.e. it doesn't play only the highlighted region. This must be a bug. If you click the little speaker icon ("prelisten") in the sample editor, it will play the selected region only, but there's no hot key for this button.
    Oddly, the "windows showing audio files" play/stop key command, DOES play only the selected region in the sample edit window, but unfortunately, this key command behaves globally, so if the arrange window is selected, it stops and starts playback there too, which I don't want.
    Any ideas (besides a bugfix)?
    Thanks...
    Mitchell Sigman

    Hi,
    Prelisten is defaulted to ⌥M. You can reassign any keycommand though. See p. 159 of the LP8 User Manual.
    regards, Erik.

  • Pro Tools key command set?

    Is this no longer included? That's a real shame. does anyone know how to accomplish this? I don't see it in the key commands menu, and the logic setup assistant is no more..

    Hey I just read a post by "Fuzzy chair Productions" in a different thread and they posted this explanation of how to import Logic 7 key commands, set your keys in 7 to protools settings, then use this to import the ones that match up into Logic 8. Don't know for sure if it'll work, because I don't want to do it. But worth a try, and thanks to Fuzzy chair Productions for the explanation below:
    To import Logic 7 key commands into Logic Pro 8:
    In the Key Commands window, choose Options > Import Key Commands.
    Select the Logic 7 preferences file in the file selector you can find it >~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Logic Pro 8 will inform you about all changes which apply to your key command set at this point.
    Note: Some Logic 7 commands may work differently—or may not be functional at all in Logic Pro >8.
    To switch back and forth between the Logic Pro 8 and Logic 7 key command sets, you need to >export the Logic 7 key command set in the Logic Pro 8 format.
    To export a key command set in Logic Pro 8:
    In the Key Commands window, choose Options > Export Key Commands.
    Type a name such as “My Logic 7 Key Commands” and click Save.

  • Can't assign personal key commands

    Hello,
    I recently had to reinstall Logic Pro 9 and neglected to backup/save my personal key commands.
    In reentering these commands I'm having a problem with one specific personal key command for Solo Off For All that Logic won't accept. I have gone into the Logic Preference>Key Commands, scrolled down to Solo Off For All clicked on the Learn By Key Label and entered my command which is the TAB key followed by the letter 's'. The 's' gets entered but nothing else. Before doing the delete and reinstall of Logic Pro this command had been working fine for me.
    Thanks and Best to All
    Lautarese

    Hi Bill,
    What you say makes sense. However I'm mystified as to why it worked for me before reinstalling Logic Pro from the Apps Store.
    I picked the TAB key because all the other modifiers seem to be used for default Key Commands that I'd rather not replace.
    Thanks Mate.
    Best,
    Jason
