No Sound from Logic 8- can anyone help with this issue?...

Hi,
I am relatively new to Logic and have an issue as I work my way through the getting started book.
I have no sound when I play any type of track...
I have gone through the Apple website's Logic common issues page and have no issues with laptop and program compatibility and I have correctly installed my audio interface which is also fully compatible with the laptop I have.
The setup I have is:
- Macbook Pro 1, 2 with Mac OS X version 10. 6. 7 running Logic 8.
- a Focusrite Saffire audio interface.
Can anyone help shed any light onto this why I have no sound returning at me when I click pay track?
Thanks for the thoughts you share!

This has solved the issue and helped my understanding of the program. I didn't realise selecting core audio interface was responsible for output audio also. Though it seems obvious now, I think I overlooked this on that point of the journey I was on... thank you Pancenter
You're welcome.
I don't know your setup and this may not work for you, see what you think.
I tend to keep the internal built-in audio as the core audio device for all of the Mac sounds including DVD playback... iTunes....etc. 
I reserve the pro/semi-pro audio interface for use only with the professional audio application. There's a couple of reasons for this... the Mac built-in audio actually works better for some things like DVD playback, also.. core audio volume will now affect the Focusrite's volume.. I'd rather not have the volume of the pro interface or the sample rate messed with. I need to load my projects and have them play exactly as I saved them.
Also, keep reading the manuals... there's much to learn there. The manuals will help train your mind for further understanding as you progress.
Any type of knowledge a person gains by working things out on their own (as you did)  will stick with you. Even though you didn't find the solution you put in effort.
The answers are never the important part of learning, the work put in is the actual answer.
When I teach audio related classes.... for example, learning how a compressor works. I have a student pick one compressor and learn it inside and out. Use it for voice, guitar, drums, bass, synths. Using one plug-in, in depth gives one perspective and the basic knowledge of how to use other compressors one will need in the future.

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

    Why will it not let you add them?  What specifically are you trying to do, please provide steps.
    Frankly, the only thing that should need to be done it restore the iTunes folder from the backup onto the computer.  There is no reason to add or import anything.

  • Still no answer can anyone help with this issue?

    When using Safari, it allows you to only download to a default directory of your choosing. Is there a way to have safari to download to a directory of your choice each time you download and not the same on all the time? Sometime you want a file in a certain directory and are unable to download it to that specific directory. example. Default directory is "Downloads". but this specific file you want in "Pictures" is there a way to say "right click" on the file and state a different directory than the default? On some web pages one can right click and "Save As" but most show" COPY LINK", and do not allow to save to a directory of choice. Are you able to configure Safari to "download to different directories " instead of the default directory ?
    Thanks

    Hi
    if right-click doesn't show save-as, there's no easy way I'm aware of to do what you want.
    Sounds like they're javascript links.

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    Hi,
    To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
    Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
    Give the datasource name, then the database name.
    You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
    There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
    It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
    Hope this helps...
    best wishes,
    Nish
