Logic Express 7 won't open in Snow Leopard

Hi
I hadnt opened my logic express 7 in a while, and in this period I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I tried to open it and it gets stuck with a message saying Loading Audio Files for "Dark FM Drive.exs"...
and it stays there with a beach ball and then I have to Force Quit.
Will my old Logic not work here?

Have you tried to just open LE7 app, not a project? If it launches OK, then there is something wrong with the sound library files (could be permissions or a file-system bug). Also, if you installed SL 10.6 it makes sense to update it to the most recent and stable version, because the initial one was full of bugs, as I remember. You can also re-install LE7 (if anything else doesn't work).

Logic Express won't open in Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now, when I try to open Logic Express 7, the program immediately quits, with the error message below. I uninstalled/reinstalled and the problem still happens. I have also checked for software updates and no luck.
I already searched these forums. While it seems there are some other problems like this out there, I did not see a helpful answer.
Process: Logic Express [64105]
Path: /Applications/Logic Express.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Express

I am fairly certain logic 7 is not compatible with Snow Leopard.

Safari and Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

Any else having this VERY frustrating problem of Safari and Mail not opening. I've installed Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. Then when I try to open Safari, it says, "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3." When I try to open Mail, it says the same thing. I downloaded Safari again, and it won't even install it saying, "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." But I have 10.6.1.
Help. Anyone? Please?
Thanks

HI,
Try launching Safari and Mail from the Applications folder. If it works, drag the Safari and Mail icons off the Dock. Just drag straight up. They'll go poof.
With Safari or Mail open, select the icon in the Dock/Keep in Dock.
If that doesn't help, locate these files.
com.apple.Mail.plist
com.appple.Safari/plist
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

IPhoto won't open since Snow Leopard upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to snow leopard iPhoto won't open, it just crashes instantly. I ahve tried reinstalling with no luck.
Can anybody help with this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

i just bought a new MBP 13'' 2.53 Ghz 4Gb Ram 250GB HD... i tried moving my iPhoto library from my powerbook g4 1.67 machine that was running 10.4.11 (via a Lacie external)
once i moved this and opened iPhoto (on my new MBp running 10.6.1 - SNOW LEOPARD) it instantly asks me to upgrade the library (saying that the old library needs upgrading for this version), so i click upgrade, and then 2 seconds later it says that the library is corrupt and damaged and i must install from a back up...
I deleted iPhoto then emptied trash after clearing up some space on the external, meaning i lost iPhoto applicaton - IDIOT I KNOW - so i download iPhoto 8.1 and the library upgrade and error / damaged library message appeared again...
I have now, (as i type this right now) re-installed snow leopard from the snow leopard disk that came in the MBP box (i have had it like 2 weeks, thats it, it shipped with leopard and i am having to install SNOW LEOPARD, for the 2nd time) to get iPhoto back)... will this give me iPhoto back, or do i have to re-install from the LEOPARD OS disks that were sent in the MBP box, the OS that it shipped with?
i am very annoyed that it seems that my iPhoto library from a 3.75year old machine cant be on my new machine unless i re-add each PBG4Tiger10.4.11 individual library folder thru the interface of iPhoto on my new machine... (if indeed it will ever open)...
PLEASE HELP !

CS2 won't open on Snow Leopard - any secrets you care to share?

I just got an imac with snow leopard pre-installed...and I installed PS CS2 and low and behold - the application stalls when opening Photoshop. while installing, imac informed me that rosetta had to be installed so I agreed. Photoshop doesn't open but Image Ready opens fine (a program I don't use).
What to do? Is there something else I can try to do other than upgrading to CS5?
I've read in some of these discussions that some people have CS2 running fine and if yours does - what is the secret?
many thanks!

This problem occasionally happens for upgrade installs. I believe what's happening for you is that your Mail dock icon points to the wrong place. This can happen if you have another copy of Mac OS X installed on another volume, or if you ever moved Mail from its /Applications folder.
If that's indeed the problem, the fix is: remove Mail from your Dock, open a Finder window and go to the /Applications folder, launch Mail from Finder, and choose the "Keep in Dock" menu item for the Mail dock icon.

Address Book won't open in Snow Leopard

Hi,
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.1
When I try opening my address book I get the message: "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Address Book 4.1.1."
How can this be?
This is not quite an emergency since I still have access to my address book through Mobile Me, or my Entourage address book, but still.
Anybody understand this issue?
Thanks

Hey guys I had the exact same problem as you did and didn't find the fix until opening the Guest Account wiped my entire profile. (seen in the Login forum)
From what I can tell, you need to make a new user account for the Contacts application to work, as it replaces it with a new version (5.0), if you don't want to copy over all your files to a new account you could try copying over Contacts 5.0 to your other users Documents folder, then copying it from there to the Applications folder on your old user.
Hope I've helped

FCP 6.0.6 Won't Open with Snow Leopard!

I updated to FCP to 6.0.6 and the program now refuses to open. I've tried deleting preferences and removing Qmaster (which worked, but I reinstalled it after I upgraded to Snow Leopard thinking the OS 10.6 would solve the problem). Any other suggestions? I'm trying to avoid the reinstall, but this 6.0.6 update has been nothing but trouble!

That fortunately or unfortunately is really the best way to go. The pro apps are a LOT more demanding than the little stuff that comes bundled with the OS. There's an excellent post by Jerry Hofmann from not too long ago that details the process. Use the search window upper right and you'll find it pretty quickly.
When you're done, your machine will feel like it's brand new and really zippy. you'll love it. Don't forget to archive off to another drive all the stuff you want to keep and BE SURE you've got all your various install discs and passwords handy. It'll take a while. Patience and plenty of coffee.

ICal 3.0.8 won't open with Snow Leopard 10.6

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to open iCal, I get an error message that reads "You can't use this version of the application iCal with this version of Mac OS X. You have iCal 3.0.8."
How do I fix this?

First of all, are you sure you're not opening iCal from another volume?
If you're sure you didn't, did your SL installation get interrupted? Because it should have installed iCal 4.0.
I'm not sure if you can just run the SL installer again or not. But that's not a good sign -- who knows what else might have got skipped. I hesitate to recommend any course of action in your case, but check into reinstall options.

Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

Ever since i installed the snow leopard upgrade i can't open apple Mail. When I try to open the application it comes up with a message: "You can't use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mail 3.6."
I tried looking everywhere for an update for Mail, but i cant find one anywhere. Any ideas on how to get this fixed?

Safari 5 won't open on Snow Leopard; cannot upgrade to Safari 6 since it requires Lion.

I can use Firefox and Chrome with no problem but like the Apple format better. This is the first time I have ever had issues with products that are partners with Apple. Please someone fix it. "Oh well" is not acceptable:-)

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the InputManagers folder.
Move these files to the Trash: CTLoader/ctloader.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ctloader
Now from the same LIbrary folder open the Application Support folder and move these files to the Trash:
Conduit/Plugins/cttoolbar.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ct_plugins
and back in that Library folder again open the Scripting Additions folder. Move these files to the Trash:
ctscripting.osax/Contents/MacOS/ctscripting
Relaunch Safari.

Port 80 won't open on snow leopard server

For some reason, one of my web servers has stopped working. When I do a port scan, it does not show port 80 as open. I have another web server, running tiger server, and it is fine. I have check my firewall settings, and they are fine, allowing http and https. I have deleted httpd.conf and restored the default about 5 times today, but no luck. I have done a software update, and am running SLS 10.6.8. I would appreciate any suggestions. This happened once about a year ago, and restoring the default httpd.conf fixed. Not this time.

Thank you so much for your help. Ran the configtest, and there was a syntax problem with one of the site config files. For some reason it was trying to start squirrelmail, even though I had not checked the mail checkbox in Server Admin. Then I checked the error log as you suggested, and for some strange reason the same config file for the same site was trying to point to an error log at /var/log/httpd instead of /var/log/apache2. Considering that I used Server Admin to setup the site config, these errors are a little frustrating. The short answer to your now moot question is that I was restoring the httpd.conf file because I was stupid and desperate. I suspected there was some corruption, I just was not smart enough to track the corruption down to the other config files until you pointed me in the right direction. Thank you again for your generosity in donating your talents to this dicussion board. I was totally stumped.

Apps won't open in Snow Leopard on my imac

Hi - a few days ago we had a massive power cut which happened during a storm, and while I was using my mac. Since then Finder has kept crashing and now I cannot open any applications either from the dock or the apps folder, except Firefox for some reason! Any ideas? I've tried reboots, booting in safe mode, and deleting unwanted login items, which I'm worried might have caused the problem. Thanks! Simon

Try both an SMC and PRAM reset:

It might be a PPC application. You may need the optional Rosetta install.

Aperture won't Quit in Snow Leopard

For some reason or other, I cannot quit Aperture once it has been opened in Snow Leopard.

You don't say what size your hard drive is , Andy, but *10 Gig free space is way, way, below the "safe" level for someone working extensively with video, 3D and large photo images*.
The minimum "safe" level on drives depends to a large extent on what you use your computer for, but a figure of 10% free on a boot drive is the minimum that is safe for most light users. If you are regularly writing and rewriting large files (video, 3D graphics and RAW image files, for example), then you need to keep much more space free. Some video pros actually suggest a figure close to 50% free space for boot drives in heavy use to avoid problems!
I find myself (I use video and other large files a bit, but not hevily) that on, for example, a 250 Gig boot drive used for such work keeping anything less than about 30 to 40gig free results in a rapid build up of free space fragmentation which, in turn, can soon lead to slow downs, instability and very extensive fragmentation of any new large files that I try to write. It also significantly increases fan use and HD temps in my iMac. On a notebook such things will also translate into increased stress on your battery when it is in use, resulting in reduced charge life. My own personal "rule of thumb" is to never let free space drop below 20% of total capacity. On a 250Gig drive this means prett close to 50 Gigs free at all times. HD space is cheap these days.
Your limited HD space probably explains many of the problems that you say you have experienced since installing Snow Leopard. Given your usage patterns it is extremely likely that serious free space fragmentation was already present. Installing a new OS, which can involve writing and re-writing over a hundred thousand files, on top of this can massively worsen the situation. The built in OSX file defrag routines normally work for files under 20MB, but don't operate with larger files.
By seeking to keep small files contiguous the OSX small file defrag routines also actually increase the amount of free space fragmentation on the drive. On a disk with plenty of room to spare this doesn't matter. On a drive as full as yours it results in fragmentation of directories and a host of other nasty consequences. Ultimately it can lead to failure of the drive with catastrophic directory damage when insufficient room remains for the writing of contiguous extents files and the like.
Once free space fragmentation reaches a certain level the smallest "fragments" of free space become too small for OSX to even deal with files under 20MB and the problems increase rapidly.
Unfortunately simply freeing up some room after the event doesn't really overcome the problem because the files you remove will already themselves be badly fragmented. You'll have more free space, and it may keep you "safer" for a little longer, but it will still be badly fragmented and problems will rapidly re-surface.
What you have to do is both free up a substantial amount of room AND defragment the drive in such situations. You can do the latter either using a good defrag utility (the only one I trust myself is iDefrag , but others make do with the defrag components of one of the two "general purpose" utilities - Drive Genius 2 or TechToolPro ) OR by making a bootable clone on an external drive using a utility such as SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner , wiping the internal drive, and then cloning back. (Shirt-Pocket Software have a useful pdf guide on how to use the "cloning" method HERE
In your case, as you have a complete backup on Time Machine, and seem to already be having problems with your current OS installation, you might consider wiping the drive , reformatting it, installing a "clean" copy of Snow Leopard, and then bringing things back from the back up.
If you are sceptical about the degree of fragmentation (especially free space fragmentation) you are likely to be experiencing with 10 Gig free I suggest you download the free trial version of iDefrag and get it to check the fragmentation level. I suspect you will get quite a shock!
My own recommendation would also be that you do as little as possible on this Mac until you have sorted this out, and have got your internal drive back to a situation where you have at 20% free space available. At present, with so little room available and a variety of problems already appearing, you are really skating on very thin ice.
Cheers
Rod
