Logic express does not start up

Today I have updated to Lion.
After the update I tried to start my logic express program (version 8.0.2).
Nothing happen. I tried to start up logic express using the terminal. THis is the output:
MacBook-BC:etc beert$ open /Applications/Logic\ Express.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10664 for the file /Applications/Logic Express.app.
What's going on? Can it be repaired, can I fall back to leopard?

I'm really disappointed with Apple on this one. I've only owned Logic Express 8 for 2 months and I paid for it fair and square. I've just bought some softsynths to use with it too and now I'm worrying about their compatibility with the whole thing.
I managed to get it run with the command that bch2 posted and that's great, but what I don't understand is if it runs like this, why can't it just run from the dock or app icon as normal? It all just seems like a way of making people buy the latest version.
Anyway, I'm trying to restrain myself from ranting on about Lion and what a mistake I've made .
Thanks for the command bch2, at least I can make my paid-for programme work for a bit longer now before I'm forced to fork out for the latest version.

Logic express does not respond while loading!

When I start Logic express it takes 2 minutes to finally show up.When I look at the force quit window it says "Not Responding". This is after I hit create project.Logic was running correctly unitl I loaded Win XP through boot camp on a partintioned drive. This is the only thing I think it could be? But I cant unload XP, I domt' have an extra Key code. By the way this is a brand new iMac 2.4 chip runnning leopard

I'm having the same problem. It's weird. It eventually goes, but those 2 minutes feel like a lifetime!

Logic Express does not show the waveform of the audio after recording

This week, Logic stopped showing the waveform in track.
At the time of recording the wave is usually draws but as soon as I stop is theonly track in a straight line as if no audio recorded, the audio is usually recorded, you can apply effects and plug-ins but it is impossible to edit.
Sorry for any errors in the text, I am Brazilian and I'm using google translator.
Thank you!

after hours of searching I think I found the solution in a post 2010. I do not know for how long, but now it's all working

you won't find the .plist files via spotlight - they are excluded from search,
go to (user)/library/preferences/
there you'll find the files named com.apple.Logic Express (xyz whatever).plist
delete them. Logic will rebuild them from scratch.

Logic Pro does not start up and wants to activate trial

Hi,
Today, somehow my Logic Pro 7 stopped running regualrely after working perfectely for over 2 years and some months on my new macbook.
I wanted to start up logic an hour or so ago, XS key plugged in aswell, and instead of starting, it stopped with loading buffer size and displays something like "klick here if you want to activate a trial before buying Logic".
I think this is kind of strange, because also neither my computer nor my key have been connected to the internet or so and so i have not done any upgrades for the software or so. I don't know if it is just on the macbook or if it won't run either on any other computer.
Did anybody ever come across this problem or did you hear about it and have advice for me??
thanks in advance,
Johannes

Ok, the problem seems indeed to be related with the XSkey.
Today I tried to run Logic Pro on another Computer with my XSkey, but it neither works there.
Logic asks me if I want to try it out for a limited amount of time before buying it, but It is a bought Version already...
The problem at the moment is that I will need Logic next week and I don't see a way to get it running, although the macs it occured with were not my Powermac at home I'm gonna use then.
Just, I read something about XSkeyupdater on a link List in this Forum or so, so could this maybe be something that could help???
So, if somebody got an answer to my problem pls tell me.
Kind regards,
Johannes

My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.

In Logic Pro or Pro X Meta Events don't work correctly; for example inserting Stop Playback number 52 in a specific position the playhead stops wrongly several ticks before. Then the button play does not start.

In Logic, Pro or Pro X Meta Events don't work correctly; for example inserting Stop Playback number 52 in a specific position the playhead stops wrongly several ticks before. Then the button play does not start.

Curious if what your describing is similar to issue 4 which starts around 9:15 in video...
https://youtu.be/q93jdOhi4Oc
If so this started for me, or at least I noticed it for the first time in LPX 10.1.1. What version of logic are you running?
I've recently found that this issue also affects note timing on instrument tracks that use the "External Instrument" plugin.

-Xmx greater than 180M does not start jvm on a 2gb machine, why?

Hi, we have developed a product demo shown as an applet that uses the java plug-in to startup.
The demo requires high amount of memory so we modified the java plug-in -xms and -xmx values in the control panel so more memory is available to the applet. What we can not see is why using values higher than -Xmx187M the applet does not start launching an error message either in Explorer of Firefox telling it has been unable to load the jvm. Using the value of -Xmx180M the applet starts but the out of memory message is displayed very soon as the demo requires at least 700M.
We are using:
� JRE1.6_u02
� IE7. FireFox 2.0.0.7
� Computer: 2GB Ram, CoreDuo2.
Does any of you why this limitation in the maximum java heap size?
Thanks for your time and help.
Best Regards.

I don't understand the logic for when it will error out on the -Xmx setting.One obvious idea leaps to my mind - because windows doesn't do it.
And googling would seem to support that. Search for "currently implemented up to" in the following.

My iMac does not start.

My iMac does not start. When I turn it on, it stays loading in the half and doesn't continue. Some days before I had updated my iMac to Yosemite 10.10. Everything was ok but yesterday I decided tu reboot it and when it was turning on this happened, it kept stuck at the middle of the bar. I have the latest model of MacBook Air '13.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

My airport does not start when pligged in

My aipport does not start when plugged in. The light does not come on at all. If there some kind of a reset switch?

With no light at all, unfortunately it is likely that an internal component in the AirPort Express has failed.
The reset switch is next to the audio jack. Try a different AC socket. With the AirPort Express plugged into power, hold in the reset button for 8-10 seconds, then release.
If successful, the AirPort Express will restart to a solid amber light for 30-35 seconds, then begin to slowly blink amber after 40-45 seconds.
If you try the reset a few times with no success, I'm afraid that the AirPort Express has failed and will need to be replaced.

"waiting" in itunes. the download does not start.

I have bought and paid for movies in itunes. Now is it just "waiting" in itunes. the download does not start. what do I do?

re: quantization.
Logic can do a "soft" quantize as it's recording, by soft I mean playback MIDI data is quantized for both audio and visuals (piano roll), but if you turn quantize off you will see your notes as you played them.
Select a MIDI track, softsynth or external, in the upper left corner of the Inspector is a Quantize value. Click and hold to see what's available.
While you're there, make sure the Delay value is set to zero.
Also make sure that Preferences/Audio "Recording Delay" is set to zero.
And last, (very important.)
Delete the Logic 10 preferences file AND the shared control surfaces file.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the 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 User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Make sure and remove both files.

Express does not show IP address of wireless camera

I have a functioning Axis M1011 wireless camera, with a live stream into Safari on my local iMac. All is well.
My brand new Airport Express is definitely providing the wireless camera feed, as my internal airport card on my iMac is OFF.
What is odd is that Express does not show IP address of the wireless camera when you click on it in Airport Utility.
The iMac is static at 10.0.1.2. Express LAN IP is static at 10.0.1.1. The camera's wireless IP is static at 10.0.1.3.
I have a working, hidden network created by express.
I am baffled why express does not "report" the IP address of the camera that it definitely sees.
It does not report any wireless clients at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

So your ASA should have a route on the inside interface to internal networks. The address of that next hop in the routing table is the one you should have in your arp table allowing you to reach non-directly-connected (subnet-wise) hosts within the scope of that route statement.
Think through the logic - ASA pings a host. It needs to determine proper egress interface. It checks and asks "Is it reachable via a directly connected interface (most preferred route)?" Answer no. "Do I have a route statement telling me how to get to it?" Answer yes (otherwise use default). OK - so ASA sends packet out egress interface defined in that route statement to the next hop as defined in route statement and waits for reply.

Hi,i have a very big problem....i had an accident with my macbook , i poured some champagne and it does not start anymore....it will work again???

hi,i have a very big problem....i had an accident with my macbook , i poured some champagne and it does not start anymore....it will work again???

If you spilled champagne on it, chances are not good. If you haven't alredy DO NOT turn it on or charge it. I would immediately take it to the Genius Bar and see if they can clean it up before.
Had the same problem with a 15" MBP and a tea spill and I did the opposite. Trashed the Logic & Keyboard Assembly. Cost to repair was going to be more than what I paid for a computer so ended up having to replace it.

WebAnalysis does not start after workspace is set on Windows Authentication

I've used [doc Hyperion System 9.3.x Configuring the BI+ Workspace for Single Sign-On (SSO) with Internet Information Services (IIS) [ID 1100096.1] to configure SSO for workspace users. It works fine. Though since then the WA service does not start anymore. The error message which is raised sounds very very familar but still I am not able to tackle it. The message in the log or the analysis console is "[WARN] [STANDBY] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - Wait for workspace [
[WARN] Timer-2 com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - ."
I am very sure it had something to do with rights/ permissions, but also after playing around with IIS and ntfs permissions for hours I can't get SSO en WA both working at the same time.
As soon as I set my workspace aplication in IIS on windows integrated, the SSO is working but as soon as a I restart the WA service it fails to start. When I set the workspace application IIS on anonymous the WA service start fine but then the SSO is not working anymore.
It drives me crazy.
Hopefully its a small matter for you to solve!
Thanks in advance.

Dont know exactly whats happened but I presume something went wrong during the update procedure.
If you will be not able to start the notebook in the safe mode or to boot the notebook then user the Toshiba recovery CD to gets the notebook working!

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer? My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2. How do I get it connected?

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer. The old airport did. I recently updated to OS 10.9.2. I have since bought a new
HP 6700 all in one wireless printer, got the latest Comcast router. None of which connect to my computer wirelessly. Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac? Help

Contact HP for support.
Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.
