Logic will not playback audio unless movie is visible?

Hello everyone,
I've scored many movies in Logic and except for running out of horsepower have never had a problem like this...until today.
The problem: Whenever I dont have the movie visible, ALL audio stops!! Its not just this new project, but all past projects as well (all of which use to work fine!). For example, I can play back the movie and its audio tracks visible. But then when I close the movie, the sound will just stop. It will not return until I open the movie again. What this means is I cannot switch to my "matrix only" or my "mixer only" screensets and hear whats going on!! Its very odd!!
I tried "OPTION-click on File -> New" to force Logic to create a fresh default song and I still get the same behavior; all audio will stop when movie is closed and will only play again if I re-opened the movie file.
In December I reinstalled my entire system software, logic, sample libs, etc. in the hopes of making logic more stable. I recently rebuilt my template from scratch with the same hopes. I haven't used logic on a project in about 3 months. I dont understand why I seem to have so many problems, as I've yet to have a problem-free project in all my time using Logic. (sad but true). Any ideas on why this is happening? Has anyone experienced this particular problem?
I'm going to continue troubleshooting this problem (trashing audio prefs, etc.) Will post my findings. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

ok, I found the problem. I forgot in my new aggregate audio setup, one device only works at 44.1k, while the project is in 48k. Chalk this one up to user error. Logic, will you every forgive me! You know I still love you...right?

Will not playback audio or video in preview or project monitor

First off i am running PP CS3 on an Imac with leapord... 4gb ram... 300 gb of free hard drive... 3.06 processor and i am having a problem with playback... i open the project i am wanting to work on and i go to playback in either window(preview or project) and it will play for about 15 secs with no problem with audio or video, and then out of nowhere the audio quits and then if i stop the playback and try to restart it there is now playback at all, only a frozen frame from where the playhead started. For now i have an external monitor i am able to view on with no problem via firewire and it is a decent temporary solution but i will not be able to do this for long... I appreciate any and all help, and if there is any more info needed to solve this problem feel free to let me know
Thank You

Well, if your previewing via an external monitor via firewire, that
seems to imply that the timeline playback is in fact working.
First question: Is this on ANY project, or just this one...that you know of.
Second: Is there anything at this 15 second point on the timeline. Some
different type of media than the rest, something like that?

Trying to download additional content for Logic Pro X. My download status is 26.6 GB of 26.6 GB, but Logic will not move any further, not matter what I do. Any suggestions?

Thanks rhoydotp,
The download was actually the successful part! I had no issues with it timing out or anything. My problem was the actual install, after the download was complete. The installer just stopped about a quarter of the way up on "Alternative Kits" and never made it to any of the other kits. I think I'll try installing them one at a time like you said, and see what happens. Hopefully it works!

I have the same trouble with my 002 and Logic Pro. But I can hear imported pre-recorded material from Logic Pro through the 002 hardware.
I have set up another post under the title of Digi 002 to solve these problems if that is a help. If you find out what to do please let me know.

Does the file playback OK in your computer players? Yes
Do you have similar problems with other video of its kind or other

no
The answers to the above will prove helpful to finding the reason for the
problem.
What you might want to try is renaming the file extension to: mts, .m2t,
.m2ts, .avi, or .mov to see if the renamed file imports into Premiere
Elements 11 and displays its video. The video imports to elements fine
with no errors and renders fine with no errors. In the playback window it
shows the video when paused. When I move the time line cursor the video
window reacts as you would expect by showing the frames as you move past
them. The issue is when you click play under the playback window, it turns
white and you hear the audio with no video.

DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there. It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies. I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive. Computer is out of warranty.

Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
I'd recommend starting with this document:
Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?
Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
Let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

Logic will not open with out external soundcard after Mavericks upgrade

Hi
Recently upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and my Logic 9.1.8 (32 Bit) worked fine. I have a Digidesign 002 rack which I was using as an external soundcard. These all worked fine until I updated my Digi drivers. Now Logic will not open unless the Digi is connected, Logic has also been updated but still no joy. Logic freezes when opening on 'checking midi drivers...'
Is there a preference I need to change or do I have to remain connected to my Digi forever?! lol
Thanks
Candy

Remove the Digidesign Midi drivers.....
Logic Pro 9 crashing at "Check MIDI Drivers."
As you will see, this sort of problem with Avid/Digi Midi drivers has been around for a long time now.....

Mac Book Pro (OS 10.4.11) WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! STILL PERSISTS!

My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black.
I searched the forums and tried the suggested fixes: trashing these 2 .plist preferences and reboot.
Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
this worked for a couple of cycles then the problem retuned/
Hey, Mac geniuses and wizards - what is going wrong with my macboo

Have you ever waited and let it do it's thing? I was ready to force mine to quit the other day after waiting 2-3 minutes, and all of sudden, it shut down. I restarted it and then shut it down again. This time it was normal.
Try this yet before doing an Archive and Install.
1. Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.
2. Use a utility like Onyx to clean your system cache out, including your kernel cache. The computer will restart slow right after that, but I keep rebooting the computer about 3 times in a row, and I'm back up to speed.

My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black. I have restarted the machine several times and run disk doctor from the start up disk - no problems are recognized. The problem started last night. I upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.11 today - hoping that the update would resolve the issue - NO LUCK! I keep trying to get a successful SHUT DOWN from the apple command - However I have not been able to get it to SHUT DOWN without forcing the power button. HELP!

"... and run disk doctor from the start up disk"
Please explain that one. Disk Doctor was part of Norton Utilities. NU is not supported by OSX and the faster you get rid of it the better. Boot from your Installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utilities. An optional way of shutting down is holding down control-option-command keys and pressing the eject button. When you are having problems address the problem. Upgrading to a new OS version will not solve the problem.
Wht you should try is running the 10.4.11 intel combo updater here:

Captivate will not record ALL screen movements

I have been using Camtashia and recently move to another
company where they want to start using Captivate. I just bought
Captiveate and I am getting very aggrevated! Captivate will not
record all my movements with the mouse or when a screen changes. It
appears that everything is driven by an actual mouse click. Only
when I move my mouse around and then click will it actuall record
the "action".
Please tell me there is a way for Captivate to record all
mouse movements, keystrokes, changes in applications just as I see
it when I am actually doing the recording.
I dont need all this fancy highlighting and project wizards,
I just simply want Captivate to record EXACTLY what I do and see
while I am recording.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Tmy8ster and welcome to our community
No doubt you are frustrated if you are expecting Captivate to
behave like Camtasia. Yes, both create similar output, but both
accomplish it in entirely different ways.
Perhaps the following link to a thread where I attempted to
explain it will help:

ITunes will not stream audio to AppleTv.

Since I upgraded to Yosemite iTunes will not stream audio to AppleTv. IPhone and iPad running iOS8 works fine.

Hey there Klausnorgaard,
It sounds like AirPlay is not functioning correctly between iTunes on your computer, to your AppleTV but iOS devices work without issue. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article, named:

My purchased I-tunes songs will not import to I-Movie or I-DVD

Just recently every time I export a purchased I-Tunes song to I-Movie or I-DVD, I get a pop-up saying that the song is not authorized to be played on my computer. Even though the all the purchased songs play fine while in I-Tunes itself they will not export to I-Movie or I-DVD. Each time the pop-up comes up to authorize the song, I go through and authorize it, and it tells me it was successful. It lied. The songs still do not export even though I authorized the computer. I have noticed to a tiny little lock in the upper left hand corner of the icon for the songs, but only for the purchased songs. I think that may be part of the problem. I'm not alone with this problem. I have spoken with other frustrated people with the identical problem. The purchased songs exported just fine until recently. I was told by a computer nerd that the problem lies with quicktime which doesn't allow I-tunes to export to I-Tunes or I-DVD. Apple Support was not helpful. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. Thanks

It is a known problem as mentioned in the iMovie or iDVD forums. See thread below look at the 2nd post for the workaround.

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
How do I fix this?

The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and audion book and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
