Missing Letter from a Word in Logic Pro 9

Hi there.
This is not a very big deal but I noticed there was a letter missing from the word "Collection" in Logic Pro 9. It's just that it's a bit irritating to see it.. Any idea how to fix it?

Just to confirm....
10.10.1 + Logic Pro 9 .1.8 (64bit) does this,,,,
10.10.3 + Logic Pro 9.1.8 (64bit) does this....
Couldn't test with 10,10.2 because thats not available to me now...
So, I am now N-less.........

Selecting one letter from a word Array (to start off a word game)

Hi,
I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.
I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.
The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want)
I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.
I am including the code below.
I have another question regarding looping arrays but I'll wait until I figure this out.
I hope it is not too long and I am being clear in my goals.
Thanks

Hi,
After many hours of reading and trying out different strategies, I began to think that I was trying to do to much in one section.
I created a new TextField (oneLtr) used the addChild(oneLtr) and using the charAt() method was able to isolate a uniquely different letter as a hint for each new word.
I am now trying to work out the code so the x position moves dynamicaly with each new word.
My hope was to have a leter sitting in the exact position but right now I'm learning a lot about text and arrays so that's ok.
Any suggestions and help is always great

Plugin settings not preserved from MacPro to G5 - Logic Pro

Hi there,
I have an annoying problem - I recently recorded some songs on my Macbook Pro using Logic Pro 7.2.3 and the Renaissance compressor and reverb from the Platinum bundle. I found when I transferred the song files back to my G5 that the Waves plugin settings were not preserved and reverted back to the defaults, and I have had to write down the settings for each track and reset them manually.
I have the Waves 5.9.1 Platinum bundle on the Macbook Pro and the 5.2.1 bundle on the G5 both running OS X 10.4.9.
Has you seen this problem before?
Any comments would be most welcome!
Regards
Rick

Hi there,
I have done some experimentation on the different platforms, but I still have had no success in resolving this, even though I have installed the latest version of the Waves plugins on my PPC Mac. I do have some comments to make from the tests I made to try to track down the problem.
Saving the settings in Logic as channel strips or using the down arrow on the Logic frame surrounding the plugin, and selecting 'Save As' do not transfer the settings saved on an Intel based mac to a PPC based one (.aupreset files are saved this way).
What does work is saving the settings from the 'Save' button on the Waves plugin itself and transferring the .xps file from the Intel Mac to the PPC mac and loading the setting from that file.
The reason for this may be because the Waves format file (.xps - XML format) stores the plugin settings in human-readable form in the file. The Logic format file (.aupreset - also XML) on the other hand saves the plugin settings as a block of mixed text characters representing the settings as binary data.
Since this is the case, I think that the PPC Waves plugin can handle its own format files 'cos they are in readable text, but when presented with binary data (which presumably has byte swapped data words in it - Intel and PPC chips differ in this respect) it cannot understand what is being presented to it and fails to load the info.
If that is the case, Waves need to change their plugins on the PPC platform to understand settings delivered in a binary form from Logic - I keep looking at the Waves site periodically to see if they have.
Cheers

Any word on Logic Pro 10?

I have friends in Germany that are hard at work on it but has Apple made any official statements that I might have missed? Just hoping the New Mac Pro isn't a requirement.
Cheers

It's rather funny that I have been emailing some friends in Germany from the EMagic days and after Apple aquired Logic, code and all, there is a lot of buzz. New Plug ins etc.. Because Apple is so hush hush it is seeming to do with the new Mac Pro but as much as I do know about that as well there is so much having to be done that if they make 2013 I will be surprised.
It corrilates with Siri getting a WHOLE lot more useful. A lot of great minds working their tails off so in a few months later Asia will rip it off.
I sure miss Steve. From Video to Audio to iPhones. They were magical times.
Bet on the iWatch next!

Error Message from App store w/ Logic Pro X

Im trying to upgrade from Logic 9 and install Logic pro X from the App Store but will always end up with an ERROR OCCURRED MESSAGE. Whats happens is it would download and then at around 78MB it would stall and start downloading again. Why is this happening inspire of my internet. It didnt happen with my other 2 computers.
Louie

There seems to be a current issue for a small number of people trying to download the LPX app (or any other large app for that matter) from the Mac App store...
Most people have found that trying it a day or so later then works..
However, check out these tips first.... in case it's not related to the issue i just metioned...
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6422
Also try signing out of the Mac App Store... restart your Mac and the sign back in again (Sign out and in can be found under the Mac App Store menu item : Store) This will sometimes fix the issue too...
..and if all else fails.. Contact Apple directly for assistance with this problem.

Officejet Pro 8610 printing envelopes from MS Word on MacBook Pro

I have Officejet Pro 8610 that will not print envelopes from MS Word envelopes. Print preview shows all white. I've played with as many settings as I can find. Yesterday, tech support got it to print from pdf, but today it doesn't even do that.
This question was solved.

I deleted the printer in Mac system preferences, reset, then reloaded the printer driver using officejet rather than airprint. Works OK. Thanks.

Missing hyperlinks from MS Word Mac and websites

Dear Adobe users,
I do not have any luck after a few hours' search via google. I tried to create a pdf file from a webpage with hyperlinks.
After some searches, I knew printing as Adobe PDF does not work as it is a print file.
Then I copy the web page in MS Word Mac 2011 and save as pdf. The resulting pdf file is a just a document with blue underlined for those links.
Creating pdf from Adobe XI pro Mac does not work either. It is another file with blue underlined again.
Some said the ribbon helps. This seem meaningless to use as a Mac user.
Is there really no way to create a pdf with hyperlink from website? If you are telling me I'd better live with the Word document, I am speechless.
Thanks.

This is a 15-20 year old defect in Acrobat.
This one of those everyone points to Acrobat and Adobe points to everyone but themselves.
Word URLs Mailto from Office Mac were ignored. you had to add them Manual and even doing so they don't turn blue and underline as they are supposed to. what makes URLs Mailtos work is a unique piece of JavaScript code. unfortunately Adobe doesn't use industry standard JavaScript. Its unique to Adobe only.
I say were ignored Acrobat X and XI have partially addressed this problem. As long as Urls and Mailtos were created by word by Office's Auto correct feature the Following to methods will work
Method #1:
create the Word Document making sure any URLs and Mailto turn blue and become underlined and work.
save as docx document.
Go to File Menu > Print
Click and hold mouse button (touch pad) down on PDF button until context menu appears.
Choose Adobe quality PDF
Follow Directions as they come up (this uses Adobe PDF Generator)
Save PDF.
Open PDF you should be able see and use all Urls and Mailtos created by Words Auto-Correct
Method #2
create the Word Document making sure any URLs and Mailto turn blue and become underlined and work.
save as docx document.
Make sure Acrobat is Quit
Make sure the icon of Acrobat is in the Dock (some what equivalent PC's Startup Menu)
Locate the file just saved
Drag and Drop file on to the Acrobat icon in the Dock
Wait until Acrobat Processes the File.
When PDF shows up save file.
This method works with Smaller Files best. The larger the file the longer it will take to Process, and be more likely to fail.
Neither Method works Urls and Mailtos created with Word's insert URL command.
That will take another 20 years to resolve .
The PDF command in apple's print menu if you just click real fast and Word's SaveAs... PDF uses Apple's PDF engine that will always not be have active links.
Curios thing if you take a Mac Office word file and do nothing to it and open in Word and create a PDF even the links created by the insert URL command will work. So the issue has nothing to do with the way Office Mac Creates file it’s the way Acrobat Mac Processes Word Files.

More Info from APPLE needed about Logic Pro 7.2.2

Nice hardware oriented update from apple.
No...I can't afford to buy another Mac(Pro) within a year, THANKS.
BUT...how about some info about bugfixes. I still run 7.2.0 due to the bugs in 7.2.1. How about that? >:I

No Sound From Virtual Keyboard In Logic Pro 8

All of a sudden, there is no sound coming from any logic instruments via the virtual keyboard. Everything was working fine yesterday, when all of a sudden in the middle of making a beat, the sound stopped. I have tried changing the midi and audio settings, but there is still no sound. I don't have an external keyboard connected, just the logic virtual keyboard. It is like the virtual keyboard has no connection to logic at all, which I know may sound crazy.
I have also tried loading other virtual instruments and it still won't work. It has to be something simple I am overlooking. Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated. PLEASE HELP!!

OK, maybe I am not explaining this the right way. There is no sound coming out when I press keys on the capslock keyboard. I went into Window > Environment. Then I clicked on the drop down arrow in the top-left hand corner where the layers are usually located and went to "click & ports." I have everything connected properly, but I don't see "Caps Lock Keyboard" located in the "Physical Output" object box where it should be. Does anyone know how to get it back in there as I believe this is why I can't get any sound from the capslock keyboard.

How to receive signal from Roland RD300SX in Logic Pro 8??

Hello everyone,
I have problems with setting Logic to receive any signal from my piano - Roland RD300SX.
I have installed the drivers for the piano and was hoping that Logic will simply "see" it, but unfortunately it doesn't.
I have been looking for information in the Logic manual, clicking and unclicking many options for the last few hours and nothing seems to work.
When I enable input monitoring all that happens is to receive signal from my built in microphone.
I know that the USB cable works well because when I go computer information I can see Roland being plugged in to one of my USB ports. So this must a Logic setting problem...
I will be extremely grateful for any information and help!!
Thank you in advance!!
All the best,
Natali

Sampleconstruct thank you for your answers, I finally found the solution.
The Roland was not appearing in the Audio Midi Setup and it wasn't recognized until I changed one setting in the piano itself. Despite the fact that I had a CD with the USB drivers which were set up in my computer, it finally worked when I switched the USB driver setting into the "Generic" one (which means that it doesn't use the drivers from the provided CD but the ones of my OS). I don't know why it prefers the OS drivers since there is a CD provided especially for that reason, but the most important is that everything works now!:)

Why can't I input text (from MS Word, Adobe Acrobat Pro PDFs, etc.) into/onto a certain page?

I have been having great difficulty inserting or inputting any sort of text or other information onto page 2 of an InDesign document. (So far, I have 13 pages on seven spreads, and the other pages have been fine.) Further information: Page 1 is one type of master ("A-Master" applied), while page 2 (and all pages following) are a different master ("A-Document Master" applied).... I used a second master for pages 2 and onward, as I wanted to import preferences from another document, to establish a relative degree of uniformity. I am a relatively new user of CS5.5, but haven't had any major problems thus far with everything else. My guess is that the text frames for page 2 are somehow embedded above the actual page, and this is affecting import abilities. However, I can't figure out how to change this. Any ideas?

Jongware: That seemed to work. There was an extremely small thread I couldn't see before--perhaps simply because I didn't magnify things--that I didn't catch. (This was left over from the original master creation process, when I imported things from another InD document.) I took care of the problem. Thanks to you and everyone for your kind advice and assistance! Best wishes, JS

Do I need Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, and if so, how do I get it now?

Do I need Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, and if so, how do I get it now?
Tuesday, 2008-07-29
Due to prolonged illness, I purchased the Logic Studio Upgrade version (I already had Logic Pro 7.2.3, with dongle) only last week. Logic Studio Upgrade version initially installs Logic Pro version 8.0.0. I then dutifully set out to download both the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update and the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update.
As of this week, all attempts and maneuvers to simply get the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update have failed. I cannot even find it, let alone download it!
Yes, I've tried the relabeling juggling act to fool Software Update into eventually listing and providing both the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update and the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update—but no luck, not any longer. These moves may have worked up until relatively recently, but they do not work now, at least as of this week.
All searching of Apple's site(s) and Support pages results in nada—Apple itself no longer lists any such file/dmg/download/update anywhere! All previous links are either dead or just dump one back on to the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update page.
(In my many searches, I noted what seemed to me to be a majority of opinion that the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update was a dog, especially in Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 or 10.5.3. Many users reported crashes, panics, and.or freezes. Is this why Apple has pulled the update and rendered it extinct?)
I Googled, I Asked Why, I Cuiled—but no Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, except as that which lurked in the murky warez waters. Still, frustrated as I was, I did even try all such I could find . . . but no third party-hosted update worked at all.
I am concerned because in all my previous experience with Apple and its applications, ample information is made readily available about the contents of any update and an explanation of its relationship to previous updates. By this latter I mean: Apple indicates that update "x" incorporates the previous updates "u" and "v"; therefore one can proceed safely to install update "x" even if one missed updates "u" and "v" or for whatever reason did not install them.
So . . . do I need Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, if I am then going to further update with the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update? Does Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update incorporate the changes made in Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update? Will I be missing (critically?) something(s) in Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update if I in fact do not ever get it or install it? And how would I know? Apple has not only removed the update and all traces of it, but Apple has also removed all information about Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update—it is now literally as if it never existed.
So what's a po' boy to do? Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update cannot now be found on VersionTracker or MacUpdate or anywhere else. To date, no user group or organization or educational institution or program or audio-related company posted it or archived it.
Where/how can I get a copy of the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update?
If I can't, what do I do?
If I can't, what do I miss?
And where is Apple's support for Logic Studio/Logic Pro in all of this?
Earnestly hoping,
j.

Rodger,
Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .
and thank you for your swift response . . .
and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
"Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
So I shall!
Again, many thanks.

I bought a new mac mini yesterday that meets all requirements for Logic. I bought it to run Logic as a dedicated machine linked to a keyboard. Apart from the basic software that came with it, Logic is the only software installed on it. Installed it after I did all the updates. Aiport & bluetooth is now turned off, and I don't have it hooked up to a network.
Brand new, 10.6 factory fresh system, 2gbs ram and 91 GB of pure virgin hard drive space. Doesn't get much cleaner than that.
And it wont run the demo songs without the audio error..... and these are their demos!!! I really doubt they would choose demo songs that are too complex to play, so why the errors?
I tried running through the demos and re-running them. This did help, but one demo is still bawking half way through.
This just does not make sense to me. Is there something I'm missing? I am new to Logic Pro, moving up from garageband. Not sure if this:
'System Overload.The audio engine was not
able to process all required data in time.
(-10011)'
is this what many here refer to as ' dropping out'?
Help!!!!
(ignore Model and machine listed below -different machine)

Hi,
Thanks for your replies. I did move demos to the Hard drive (found out that the hard way!)
The thing is the mini is to be used exclusively for music, and is hooked up to a pro88 midi keyboard. 90% of the time it will be used for Mainstage, with some editing in Logic.
It sure does a fine job with GarageBand - no issues there.
My main machine is a MacPro, and I have three other (older) iMacs. So I really didn't want to spend more than I have to. As the Mac will be only used for music and nothing else (not even internet etc.) I was hoping that it would be up to the task of running Logic, as it does meet the needed specs.
My worry is that moving up to a iMac (which would almost double my investment to $1300) might not necessarily do much. I am not willing to dedicate a big machine like a MacPro to the task -way too expensive for my budget.
So.... being new to Logic, is there a chance settings are the culprit. Is current practice to work on a few tracks, and freeze them, then continue to add new tracks? Or is it more common to leave everything un-frozen when working on stuff?
Options I am aware of are:
•Freeze tracks
•Buffer size set to 1028
anything else?
If the mini is not fully up to the task, would the low end iMac really be any better? or will it to be not up to the task either, in which case there is no point shelling out more. From what I have read, the even the biggest machines stumble from time to time.
Thanks again for your input, I do value it!

Logic Pro X - The "Force Apple Lion 10.7 support" question - your opinion

Hi.
Now, that Apple has released Logic Pro X, we Pros have to learn that the minimum system requirement is set to OS X 10.8.4. In my book this is an asolute no go, with no reason other to impose Apples App-store power onto users to buy new hardware. So the questions for me are:
1. Why is the minimum requirement not 10.7 ? There are a lot of MacPros and other out there capable of only 10.7, yet still capable machines for production (remember, Final Cut Pro X runs fine on the first gen MacPros…)
2. I do not swallow it that the arguemnt might be that feature xyz didn't work out in 10.7. Let's make it clear, Logic Pro X should have been Logic 9 really, but Apple did not do their homework. Just like Avid released Protools 11, which should have been Protools 9 already. At least, Protools 11 runs fine on first Gen MacPros with 10.7.
3. I believe - yet can't proove - that the installer just looks for the installed system. Yet the core code might run just fine. Why is there no Trial download as with FCPX ?
What is your opinion ? Is it worth the effort to generate pressure to reduce minimum system requirement to 10.7 ?
PS.: Stay calm and relaxed
Regards

I'm on an original Mac Pro with an HD 5770 and 12 GB of RAM, and 4 x 1TB drives running FCPX with zero problems.
I also own a MacBook Pro i7 running 10.8.4
After using Logic since the eMagic days I will now have to investigate shifting to another DAW simply in order to be able to run the same software on my tower (studio machine) and laptop (live recording). There's thankfully no great rush as Logic 9 is no less capable today than it was yesterday, but I think today is a very sad day even so.
Things I believe:
Apple could, had they chosen, have released a Lion compatable version of Logic Pro X. If they can do it for FCPX, they can do it for Logic Pro X
Apple could, had they chosen, have released a version of Mountain Lion compatible with EFI 32 based Mac Pro's - if hackers can do it then of course Apple could. Had they bothered to do this, then right now they'd have something to really boast about.
Apple have an ethical and environmental obligation to do what they can to support older machines, so long as doing so does not cripple current machines or future development. Doing so might take a bit of ingenuity and maybe even some style and panache. I thought that was what Apple was about - and I think it used to be, but clearly things have changed.
People are running Mountain Lion on machines like mine. Unsupported of course. But its still possible.
That Apple chose not to do these things shows quite clearly what they think of their professional customers - and by professional I do not mean "rich" - I mean people for whom a computer is a creative tool which needs to be stable, reliable and capable - and just work when you switch it on and get ready for a productive day.
I have to wonder how many other professional musicians (who let's face it really don't NEED screamingly fast machines - not compared to the video world anyways) are going to be feeling equally sad and let down over the next few days as word of this spreads.
Just some thoughts
