Menu options won't display in channel strips or plug-ins

Hi peeps, this is what I see whenever I click on, for example, the menu button on Sylenth 2.21 (first pic) or, second example, the Bus button on a channel strip (second pic). No options display - and I have no idea why not. I cannot load a new bank in Sylenth, or many other of my plugins (including Logic's own components) and I cannot assign channels to particular busses. It's a very sad state of affairs.

I'm using LP 9.1.8 on my (slowly tiring) 2007 iMac. Can any one help me sort this please? I'm sure it's a very simple problem, I just can't think of a simple solution.
thanks

It seems it is only getting worse: there are no pictures.

Disappearing Channel Strip slots & Plug-ins?

Just bouncing down a project i've almost finished. For some reason (and i have experienced this problem before over a few versions of Logic now) the top section of the control strip for outputs 1-2, 3-5, 5-6 and plugs-ins used for them have disappeared. Instead of the usual display of slots which you could select various plug-ins in, all i can see now is a solid grey strip (if this making sense?). Anyone know how to make the full strip visible again? I've tried looking in Environment, but its just the same there.
I've thought of simply changing the plug-ins to by-pass via the automation on the arrange page but they aren't even listed now. Odd
Here is a link to an image to help illustrate the problem

That's due to the Master fader being surround. So either your prelisten channels turned surround when listening to some surround loops from the Library or any other channel in your project is set to surround causing the Master channels to switinch to surround mode. If you locate the surround channel in your environment/mixer and switch it back to stereo everything will be fine again.

PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail. None of them worked. I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email. I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app. HELP!!

3rd party plug-ins are not displayed in channel strip audio unit insert

I have successfully loaded several 3rd party plug-ins (Wave Masters and IK multimedia Studio Bundle) into my MacBook Pro. The files are shown in Library>Audio>Plug-ins>Components, in User>Downloads, and they appear in my Audio Unit Manager (for each the box is checked for access from Logic Pro). Yet, when I go to a channel strip to launch some of the plug-ins, the product does not show up under audio units. How do I get these plug-in files to the insert list for my audio channels? Unfortunately, I need to launch these plug-ins in order to authorize them with the vendor. I must be missing a key step, but I have not had this issue before with other 3rd party plug-ins. Thanks for any direction.

Also, I know in the case of my IK Multimedia Classic Studio Reverb, it will NOT be available from within my 3rd party plug-in list, on a MONO channel.
I need to be opening the list on a stereo track (or stereo Aux), in order to be able to select those plug-ins.
See if it's something that simple...

Hi isaac556
Welcome to Apple discussions. I see this is your very first post here on iDvd forums. As already stated, most of us can't read minds. But I'll go ahead and assume you are trying to make the slide show within iDvd and not elsewhere like iMovie for example (where you might have better luck if you haven't already tried that). iMovie is a very viable option (no 99 photo limits) as are other apps (Roxio /Fotomagico, Photo to Movie) you'll find mentioned throughout this forum. However most are 3rd party and thus are not free. So I'll try and stay with those you likely already have ... hence the iMovie recommendation.
If iDvd's slideshow function is not performing as expected (not hi-lighting the button/s as expected) and you haven't exceeded 99 images and have played by all the other rules mention in the Help Menu; then it's time to disposed of iDvd's plist
Go to your HOME folder (the one that looks like a house) > Library > Preferences
over to:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
and get rid of of it by dragging and dropping to the trash ...
followed by a complete restart of your mac. Thereafter you need to repair permissions from apple's disc utility (within applications > Utilities > Disc Utility), and again restart the app.
Good luck on this and feel free to keep us posted.

Re: Shared Channel Strip settings, Plug-in settings...

Hi all,
Has anyone gotten into shared Channel Strip settings and Plug-in settings? I read that there are multiple ways of doing this (bonjour). Just wondering if there are any good places on the net that anyone knows of.
I know it's always best to make settings to work with whatever material you're working on but I would like to hear/see what others are doing or to have a point of reference. Plus, I wouldn’t mind getting a good slap back delay. Or some solid synth leads...

Hey Jorge,
Thanks for the reply - yep, it's cool to be able to save strip settings for aux strips and for the main out as well, to make "my" sound and keep my songs consistent.
However there are some really great pre-set settings for these strips. They can be accessed the "slow" way by holding the "Setting" box at the top of the strip, and then choosing a category and from there a preset.
But I really want to be able to go through these preset strips quickly by using the Library... you can do this for normal audio channels, and it's great to say be able to click through "bass" presets one after the other while your bass audio track is playing...
But for the aux and settings strips, I can't get the "settings" to show up as a list in the Library...
Does anyone know how this is done?!
Cheers and thanks,
Mike

Menu bar won't display energy saving option on MacBook!!!

After the update one thing I noticed is the menu bar on the macbook (white), from the battery options, there is no option unless you open system preferences to choose from best battery life to custom.
Any Ideas?

How long has this method been available? is it a Tiger feature or has it been there all alongThis method was available in Panther although it was trickier to get right using the GUI. There was a different method in Jaguar and earlier, which used different format strings.
My finder modification dates have gone haywire after doing the menu date change.Where exactly are you viewing these dates?
I still have the problem after deleting the system prefs plist.I think Scott gave you the wrong preference list. These formats are stored in an invisible preference file: "~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist " (that's the one in your Home Library folder). But there are four formats. The Menu Bar Clock uses the second one, you may have inadvertently changed one of the others.
Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window followed by a return:
defaults read -g AppleICUTimeFormatStringsCopy and paste the result from the Terminal window to a post here. For reference, this is what I get:
<pre>{
1 = "h':'mm' 'a";
2 = "d MMM, h':'mm':'ss' 'a";
3 = "h':'mm':'ss' 'a z";
4 = "h':'mm':'ss' 'a z";
}</pre>where you can see the second format is modified to have the date as well as the time. If any of #1, #3 or #4 differ from mine, I can give you a command to set it right.
You can find more detail in this User Tip: Date and Time in the Menu Bar (10.3, 10.4) and if you are interested in how things have changed, this is the equivalent for 10.2 and 10.1: Date and Time in the Menu Bar (10.2).

I think I crashed my Finder - Menu bar won't display, Finder windows either

Help!
I attached a new external HD yesterday (a Western Digital MyBook) to use as the Time Machine disk. Started a brand new backup and went out. When I got back to the house, about 14 of 250 GB had backed up but the system had hung -- no amount of key presses got anything working -- it was just hung, stuck, dead. Against my better judgment I switched off the power strip everything is plugged into and re-booted.
System came back up, but when I click the Finder or Trash icons in the dock, nothing happens. I've also got no menu bar, unless an app is running -- then I have that app's menus but not the finder ones. Also, icons for internal HD, both external HDs, MobileMe disk, etc -- don't display on the desktop and there's no way to get at them, it appears.
Is there some sort of bootup routine I can try or do I need to re-install Leopard? The Time Machine backup started over and seems to be progressing normally. If I let this finish, will I be able to restore my system that way?
Thanks everyone...
-- Scott

And, I just answered my own question. I repaired the disk permissions (for my internal HD) with Disk Utility and now everything is back to normal. I wiped the External HD and started the Time Machine backup again and so far, so good...
Should anyone find this useful...

Show all menu options won't stay. . .

I've opened, changed to "show all menu items" closed, reopened, and still when I want to place something, I have to click down at the bottom to show that option... why won't it stay there like the earlier versions? I'm using CS3.0.4.
Thanks

You're using CS3 5.0.4.
Edit>menus, choose the default set.

The content tab in options won't display the page

I can't get the data to display in this window. I have started having problems with a lot of pop-ups and wanted to check the setting.
Also, I'm sure there must be a way to search in the forums, but I couldn't see how. If someone could answer this one, I might be able to help myself.
Thanks in advance.
v3.6.15

A problem with displaying part of the options windows can be caused by an extension. Try running Firefox in Firefox safe mode, this will disable extensions and can be used to see if one is causing the problem. For details of how to access safe mode see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode - In the dialog that pops up when starting in safe mode, do not select any of the options, just click on "Continue in safe mode".
If you can access the contents part of the options window in safe mode, the following link shows how to identify what extension is causing the problem- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Menu bar won't display date

Yes, I have checked the 'diplay date and time in menu bar'option in system preferences; the time is there, but I really need the date as well. When I click on the time in the menu bar, I can see the date, but it's gray, as if it were inoperative.
Also, as long as you're reading, maybe you could suggest how I can change the preferences in mail to check spelling as I type; this is also gray...
Thanks!

Garageband 10 won't load my Wallander Instruments AU plug-ins

I upgraded to Yosemite and GB 10.0.3 on my PowerBook pro 15" 4GB 2008 laptop. The 6.05 version of GB still works fine, but when I try to load GB 10 I get two messages complaining that the WIVI and WIVI Band AU plugins can't be found: "The plug-in named "WIVI" isn't available on your system". and the same for WIVI Band. The AU components for these are in the proper folders: user/me/Library/Plugins/Audio/Components both WIVI.component and WIVI_Band.component are in that folder.
In GB 10.0.3, under Plug-ins, WIVI is shown checked but greyed out. I assume this is because the file I'm using calls for it.
I have tried deleting the audio cache and it does refresh the au plugins. That doesn't change anything.
I have checked with the Wallander Instruments website and they claim the au plug-ins are 64 bit.
Help (and thanks in advance)

I'm also wondering if this could be a security issue, given that the LIBRARY used is different depending on which user is logged in. I am confused by the fact that my "user" folder is named one thing and my login name is another. I don't know how that happened. I do have two library files and both have the proper WIVI components.

Screen Personas - Drop down menu option

Hello everyone,
I have a query regarding the menu option that is displayed by default in a flavor that we create (beside the field to launch tcodes).
Question 1) Is there a way to do some changes to this list? by that I mean, change the color, add or remove or disable functions, etc.
Question 2) Is there a way to create a button with similar drop down option menu?
Thanks,
Mahip Singh Saluja.

You can change the colours of the button itself, but not of the menu that pops up, as far as I know. If you double-click the button in edit mode, you can remove items and sub-menus from that menu. You can't add new items.
There's no way to add a custom menu that performs actions as that does. You can create a field with a dropdown list, but it is just a text field. You could also add a script button that looked at the selected value of that field and did things. That needs an extra click - select required option and click "Go", rather than just select from menu - but that's as close as you can get.
Steve.
