Logic crashes when select 'help'

Hi
I am very new to apple / iMac / logic.
Managed to get it installed etc but it crashes every time I press help from the top menu.
Does anyone have this problem?

Hi Ken.P,
I eventually sorted out the problem, however only by doing a complete fresh install of snow leopard. It seemed that my issue was hailing from having upgraded the OS and various versions of Logic (and the other Pro Apps) so many times (tiger to leopard, express to 8, leopard to snow leopard) that some files along the way must have gotten corrupted. Went to the macshop and after trying various things like what you've mentioned above they suggested a clean install directly from snow leopard, which has sorted everything out and Logic 9.1.4 is running very smoothly now.
I know it's a bit of a hassle but probably your best bet in this case.

  • Logic crashes when i save

    i updated to tiger, cleared my harddrive, and i now use two firepods, and all of a suden when I select save song as project, logic saves the song but it crashes. anyone have any pointers?

    I am having the same problem and I have installed the latest pro application update (3.1). I use Logic 7.0.1 but am waiting for the 7.2 update in the mail.
    Logic crashes when I try to save a song using the "save as...", "Save as template", "Save as Project" commands.
    The song does get saved properly, though.
    Logic also crashes when exporting MIDI files. In that case I do loose everyhing I did since my last save.
    When I use the normal "save" command Logic does not crash.
    I tried deleting my autoload song and let Logic startup it's own one, but then the problem still occurs.
    I read about "deleting the preferences" in an archived thread about this subject, but I don't know how to do that.
    Can anybody help me with this?

  • InDesign CC crashes when selecting text

    Hello folks!
    I have a serious issue here on my Windows 7 64bit notebook:
    InDesign CC (and also CS6 before) keep crashing when selecting text.
    I was still on CS6 when this failure appeared first. The strange thing is, it happens not always. When InDesign is opened new it will not crash instantly (most times). After some selecting random text a few times InDesign will crash with the well known "InDesign doesn't work anymore" message. There seems no pattern while selecting text (like special characters, certain fonts, whatever).
    Tried to use CC – no luck! still crashing.
    After some research in the forum I read, that this is very rare issue only occuring if there are more than 1 Windows accounts with both InDesign running. Indeed I made new account shortly before the first time this happened.
    But sadly even after I completely wiped the second account, all my InDesigns (CS5, CS6, CC), all prefs, and also all fonts (as recommend in a thread with people havong trouble with just the type-tool itself) and all registry thingies the problem remains. Why?
    Please help, it really kills the productivity.
    Thanks in advance for everything!

    Well, wonky extension seems like a good idea, but can be withdrawed because I haven't installed one.
    The font issue is also equally probable. As already mentioned: The interesting aspect here is, that both InDesign CS6 and CC will crash. It happened the first time when Windows decided to blue screen and f*** up my account (I wasn't able to log in anymore, I had to made a new one). I once read in another thread that there is a problem occuring when having multiple Windows accounts with InDesign running. Re-installing InDesign didn't help. Font problem after all?
    I have installed at the moment:
    MainType
    NexusFont
    Typograf
    and some small others, like: dp4 Font Viewer or FontViewOk

  • JVM crashes when selecting non-default printer in ReportViewer in NATIVE dialog.

    On ReportViewer frame i have the print button active.  If i click the print button (Native dialog) and select a printer other than default printer, the JVM crashes.  Any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks

    I wanted to provide little history of what I am trying to achieve.  Currently, I have the following code:
    PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            if (printJob.printDialog()) {
                String printerName = printJob.getPrintService().getName();
                String printJobName = printJob.getJobName();
                PrintReportOptions printOptions = redirectPrinter(printerName, printJobName);
                sendReportOutputAndClose(reportClientDoc, printOptions);
    I want to capture the number of copies user selects from the dialog.  When I do printJob.getCopies(), it always returns 1.  Not sure how to get that # of copies user selected.  I also wanted to the dialog to be in Native mode because I don't want to give access to modify Margins and other page properties which are part of COMMON dialog mode.  If I create the dialog printJobAttribute.setDialog(JobAttributes.DialogType.NATIVE); then VM crashes when selecting a non-default printer but I am able to get the number of copies.  The key is I need to use NATIVE dialog and get the number of copies.  One option is to display in COMMON dialog mode and then hide the "Page Setup" and "Appearance" tabs.  Can this be done ?  I am new to Java and Crystal so any suggestions would help.

  • JVM crashes when selecting a CLOB in a OracleCallableStatement

    Hi all:
    We have a lot of places in our codebase where we "batch" a no. of
    selects using the OracleCallableStatement for better performance (i.e.
    save multiple roundtrips to the db). Recently we upgraded to Oracle
    8.1.7 and converted the LONG column in one of our tables to CLOB. Once
    we did that, every place in the system where we use a "batch" select
    (using refcursor) the JVM crashes (no stack trace, just the infamous Dr.
    Watson on NT and SIGBUS SEGV on Solaris)
    We are running wl510 sp10 , driver is weblogic oci (oci817_8).
    Here is a sample code
    cstmt = (OracleCallableStatement)con.prepareCall(
    "BEGIN \n"
    + " OPEN ? FOR SELECT A, B, C FROM TAB1 where ..;\n"
    + " OPEN ? FOR SELECT X, Y, Z FROM TAB2 where ..;\n"
    + " END;");
    cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.OTHER);
    cstmt.registerOutParameter(2, Types.OTHER);
    cstmt.execute();
    rs = cstmt.getResultSet(1);
    Is there an update or patch for the driver which resolves this issue?
    thanks much,
    mohan

  • Logic Crashes When I make a global Cut??

    Anyone had this happen?
    LOgic Crashes when i try and make a glbal arrange cut.

    Logic crashes when I open a particular file...
    As the old joke goes...
    "Well, don't open it then..."
    The first things to do is make some backups of what you have, just in case. Then try booting Logic without the audio drivers (or turn them off) and see if you can load the song.
    Also, try deactivating your third-party plugs (a snap with AUManager, or move them temporarily out of your components folder), and seeing whether it will load then.
    I would guess that the song is corrupted, so once you can get it to load, I would suggest you start copying all the necessary stuff (regions, automation, channel settings etc etc) into a new, uncorrupted song.
    Also, you can try and go back through your auto-numbered backup files, assuming you have the function turned on - you might be able to open a version of the song before the corruption. And if you didn't have that autobackup feature turned on - well, I suggest you do from now on!
    If you get no joy doing all that, post back and we'll go from there.

  • Photoshop CS6 crashes when selecting tools

    Hi, I'm having the same problem as a few other members (Photoshop CS6 occasionally crashes when selecting tools)  and have updated the driver on my HD5770 card to the latest version (8.961.0.0) as this is the recommended fix. Unfortunately this hasn't fixed the problem.
    Here is the error report from the most recent crash.
    This is very irritating as I inevitably lose some of my work when the application crashes.
    What else do you suggest as a fix?
    Steve

    I installed 12.3 and restarted my computer. This did not solve the problem.
    I've reinstalled Photoshop twice as well with no developments.
    Then, I found this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4289204
    My card (Radeon X 1300 / X 1550) is not listed in the "Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6" section.
    If I go to Edit->Preferences->Performance, and mouse-over the "Graphics Processor Settings" section, it says "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry".
    Is there any way around this?

  • Logic crashes when project loads Arturia Wurlitzer V

    When loading recent project, Logic crashes when it gets to loading Arturia Wurlitzer V with error: read_size = =bytesize. Able to use Wurlitzer in new project. Is this Arturia problem or Logic problem? This started originally when I was working on the project, and it crashed.

    I've got a PDF manual for the Arturia Minimoog (I told you it was late last night) and there is a Configuration page there - that could be worth having a check over for the equivalent - there's always a balance between your processor speed/RAM/communication speeds and I don't exactly know what you're trying to run that on.
    The loading time for that plug-in does seem to suggest that it uses a bit more memory, but if you break me open like a stick of candy, I'm a good 80% musician in the middle, so what do I know...he he..

  • Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8

    Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8 on Logic 9.1.4
    Done everything like repair permissions etc.
    Reinstalled both Logic and OS 10.6 (then updated to 10.6.8)
    Still doing it.
    Any advice guys?

    OK,
    I have installed logic 9.1.5 from the apple site and run that, still same problem.. so i have finally managed to get my hands on the logic 9 disc.. it says on the apple site to remove logic 9 from your mac, to simply drag the logic app to trash and reinstall. i did this with 10.6.0 installed and run it and still error. I then combo updated to .4 .6 and to .7 without updating logic still error.. Then i have combo updated to 10.6.8 still error.. finally i installed the 9.1.5 update direct from the site on 10.6.8 and that hasnt worked either..
    My question is, even though on the apple site it says to drop the app to the bin and reinstall, does this remove all necessary files? or do i have to do it manually and if so can someone tell me exactly what needs to go,before i try a proper reinstall.
    Thanks
    Brad

  • Elements 13 crashes when selecting Print

    Elements13 crashes when selecting Print from the File menu.
    Rebuilding the Preferences file will bring the Print menus back, but only temporarily.
    No error message, Windows advises the program must be shut down.

    You are going through File menu > Print or File menu > Order Prints .
    Meanwhile go to Edit menu > Preferences >> Adobe partner services .

  • Logic crashes when trying to load guitar patches

    I just recently upgraded to Logic X and its working perfectly 95%. The issue is with the system crashing when I select some of the guitar patches. I tried re-downloading the additional content but still havig the problem. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    not sure if it helps or not, but just a small correction on this: My exs24 GarageBand samples work fine.
    And I guess the proper term what happens with factory samples is a hang crash..
