Logic in the Twilight Zone

This afternoon I started everything up, to return to a track: the last one of a project. First off, I was writing an email,while Logic launched the song, the song opens and I start playing it, still writing the email. Suddenly, Logic quits: oh, well, I thought; sent the email and relaunched. This time when getting to the stage of loading an East West Platinum Pro patch, Logic crashes again. This repeatedly happened, same place each time, so I went back to basics and started up a vanilla autoload: fine. Then I tried one of my own templates from the dock, where I keep them: that opened, but immediately disappeared! No "Logic unexpectedly quit", etc. Just poof! vanished. I tried several other custom templates, and they all performed this disappearing act. So, I'm getting really panicky: I have to finish this album before the studio is relocated. I decide to post the problem on this forum: Safari repeatedly crashes.
I check all the usual suspects: no problems anywhere. I then decide to open the vanilla song again and try opening one of my templates from that. It works. I save it, and then try opening it from the dock: it works fine again, and so do all the others, plus the problem song.
What was that all about? I'm running 7.2.2, and until then it had been more or less fine, but that was a bit alarming. Has anyone any ideas, and should I take any other measures? There was also a bit more fan activity when all this was happening.
It felt like the whole thing was on the edge of collapse.

From my PC days, I learned that once you have an application crashing, it can leave the computer in a little bit of a flaky state, so I got into the habit of saving copies of anything important, and restarting.
Generally these days OS's are much better at protecting themselves from application crashes, but sometimes things can go screwy. It sounds like Logic crashed and caused the computer, the audio or MIDI subsystem and anything else Logic uses from the OS to go flaky.
In this case, I would have done a restart to cause any aberrant behaviour to calm down, but it seems like it recovered on its own. (I'd still restart though).
Normally an application will crash cleanly and can simply be restarted, but sometimes...

  • Canon i9900 via Firewire in the Twilight Zone

    My Mac cannot find my Canon i9900, connected via Firewire. It worked fine before I upgraded. After the upgrade, all of the printers were no longer available. I only have this one printer physically available to me at the moment to reconnect, and only a Firewire cable so I can't see if it works via USB.
    I have:
    --checked to see if the driver is installed. It appears to be.
    --checked to see if the System Profiler shows the Firewire connection to the printer, and it does.
    --reset my printer system.
    I tried to go to the Canon web site to download and reinstall the driver, but their website is having issues right now and I can't get to the download page. Their tech support, is of course, closed. But I think the driver for this printer is supposed to be included.
    Any ideas?

    By reading through the lines on some threads WAAAY down below (pages 30 - 35) I figured this out.
    I needed to reinstall the Canon 10.4 driver so that the Canon Firewire driver would be reinstalled. As soon as I did this, I saw the Canon Firewire option show up, and there was my printer!
    Since the Canon Americas web site wasn't working for me, I downloaded and installed the driver for the i9150 from the Oceania site. That did the trick.

  • Twilight Zone - Pages

    I'm in the Twilight Zone. Can't open Pages docs, prompt says I need an update.
    Go to App Store, no Update shown as needed. Try to obtain one via the store without paying $19.95 again and told "not going to happen." Stuck in the wheel going round and round.
    Using 10.10.1
    What's the solution?

    Use Microsoft Word. Really. Unlike Pages, it just works. Want facing pages? Word has that feature. Pages doesn't. Want mail merge? Ditto. Want the ability to link text boxes: yep, you can do it in Word, not Pages. How many words in your doc? How many pages, and what page are you on? Glance down to the status bar in Word, there it is. In Pages? There is no status bar! If you view the little bubble with the word count, it actually hovers over part of your text! And on and on and on. I really cannot fathom what Apple was trying to do with its destruction of Pages, but the entire 5.x experience has been, as one early reviewer put it, and "unmitigated disaster."

  • I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

    I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

  • Changing the default Zone AAM in SharePoint

    SharePoint Web App Provides 5 different Alternate access mapping Zone.
    What is the best practice, is it the good practice to change the Default Zone of Web app in AAM.  

    Hi Maruti
    At its most basic level, AAMs are configuration settings set in SharePoint Central Admin that tells SharePoint how to map a web request to the correct web application so that SharePoint can respond with the correct content as URL of a web request received
    by IIS is not the same URL that the end user entered in their web browser
    Best Practices
    Default and Intranet should always be used, the rest are of course optional, but whatever naming convention you use, be consistent!
    Default: always the FQDN in the form of “http://WEBAPP.Company.com” (or “http://WEBAPP.domain.local” – whatever
    your FQDN format happens to be )
    Intranet: Just the name of the webapp itself in the form of “http://WEBAPP”  It is important to use a single
    name, without any “.”s in the name, as some windows applications will see “.” in the address and will assume “Internet” zone for the address, which can lead to some interesting authentication issues with Microsoft Office applications.  
    Internet: Almost always prefixed with "WWW” in the form of “http://www.WEBAPP.Company.com” – this identifies
    the access URL as a public facing or externally accessible site.  
    Custom:  I have never used this field for anything more than specialized one-off URL testing and sometimes for SSL
    cert verification (which generally should go on the load balancer anyways) 
    Extranet: Every company will be different, but I like to use the “PARTNERS” prefix, in the form of "http://partners.WEBAPP.Company.com”

  • Delivery Schedule within the Firm Zone of a SA not firming

    Hello,
    We have delivery schedules within firm zone (defined in the Additional Data in item detail) of a SA but they are not firmed by MRP run.
    Here is the material master setting and other relevant information:
    MRP Type = PD (firming type = blank)
    Planning Time Fence = 0 (in MRP1 view)
    Not check the flag in OMIN to firm only the transmitted schedule line
    Maintained Firm/Trade-off zone (as mentioned above) and Binding on MRP = '1' in an item of a SA
    The delivery schedule supposedly be firmed based on the firm zone but is keep pushed out instead after MRP run.
    I appreciate very much if you can tell what's causing the problem and how to remedy it.
    Kind Regards,
    Eddie

    Eddie,
    Your batch job is OK however until the delivery schedule with new schedule line proposals has been transmitted they can be changed by MRP as they are not yet firm.
    From my experience the OMIN settings affect the MRP type firming settings (P1, P2, ...) not the SA related firm settings. Here the binding on MRP key is determining what MRP can change or can not change.
    See here the extract out of the help function on the OMIN setting.
    Firm Only Schedule Lines Transmitted to Vendor by Purchasing
    If you set this indicator, the system only firms the schedule lines which have been transmitted to the vendor by the purchasing department.
    Use
    This function is used if you use a planning time fence in the planning run. If you use firming type 1 ("Automatic firming and order proposals are displaced"), the system automatically firms existing schedule lines when they move into the planning time fence.
    Use this indicator if you only want the system to firm schedule lines that have already been checked and passed on to the vendor per message transfer. If, for example, the quantity of a schedule line was changed but the changed quantity has not yet been passed on to the vendor, then the old quantity that has already been passed on to the vendor is firmed as soon as this schedule line moves into the planning time fence.

  • How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

    I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
    Thanks!

    Whitecity,
    According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)

  • Adding logic to the hide/show

    Hi Guys
    I am pretty new at this so please excuse my ignorance. I have added hide/show regions into a cell of an advanced table. In the VO I also coded in the boolean decode.
    So now when I run my page I get the the following: where there is details for the cell the cell is in Hide status, when the details are null its in show status.
    The decode is as follows: decode(contact_details.contact_name,Null,'0','1'). The attribute is set to Boolean.
    My issue is when I click on the hide/show link on the page it does not "work". ie: if I click on the show status it does not toggle to hide status and visa versa.
    Am I meant to add logic to the controller?
    Thanks

    Is your page embedded in a workflow page or notification? If so, then you cann't have hide/show action rather any action on your page as per workflow standards. They require you to embed a region and not a page.

    I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
    I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?

  • Non-Global Zones - how can I tell what the Global Zone is

    Hi,
    I have a host that I know is a non-global zone (ngz). I can ssh to the ngz as root or a non-privileged user.
    But once there how do I know what the host name for the global zone is?
    I could probably run a script from all global zones to report all running zones and so I'd know that way but I have a specific need to know from inside the ngz.
    Thanks!

    That's a built-in security feature; and I know of no way to circumvent this mechanism.
    I had some hope that there was a way to 'see' at least the global-zone information from the zone. From the shell the 'zone' commands are available ..
    :# zoneadm list -cv
    ID NAME             STATUS         PATH                         
    48 hostname_svn   running        /  So it's at least aware that it is a zone, even if it can't tell me anything else about itself. I can still go the long way around to get the information for my need, thanks.
    The global zone is the only thing that can see everything. The non-global zones can only see information specific to their zone.
    This is by design and it really is a security mechanism. You don't want the zones running outside of their boundaries and information about the global zone (or any other zone) is outside the boundaries of a non-global zone.
