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

Why are Network Settings not Transferring from a Master DMG to the Desitination

Hi people,
can anyone assist me with finding out why Network Settings are NOT transferred from a source Master HD to a DMG to a Destination HD.
I have many hours spent trying to debug this - any pointers to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Background:
I administer about 400 Macs of mixed types / generations (iMacs - MacBooks - MacBook Pro's).
We create master setups for different locations / purposes around the Campus and transfer these masters to DMGs.
We then clone the various macs as needed from these DMGs using a variety of methods including local (FW800 - USB) and network transfers.
The newest master (staffHD at 10-8-2) works perfectly but trying to clone / copy it by any method leaves out the custom network settings and you only end up with the default Wi-Fi / Ethernet / Firewire with total loss of the additional services and custom proxy settings.
Methods used to date to try the transfer (all get the same null result)
to-from DMG using Disk Utility
to-from Sparse Image via Disk Utility
to-from DMG using Carbon Copy Cloner
to-from Sparse Image via Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk' via FW800 using Disk Utility
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using Carbon Copy Cloner
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using rsync -aHv
direct to 'target disk via FW800 using cp -Rv
Everything BUT the network settings transfer perfectly (excluding of course the usual trackpad / mouse custom settings).
I guess something is wrong with this master source but for the life of me I can't work it out. I have seen it in the past but it seemed to work itself out with the next revision - this one just wont.
HELP!
Have a Great day!
pete

Hi Linc,
thanks for the reply - I suspected a hardware issue or some sort of privledges problem, but as far as I know have only had this problem with Mountain Lion, and it still fails on hardware like to like transfers. I was hoping to avoid needing anything addidtional but it looks like I'll have to.
Have a Great day!

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.

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.........

How to enable note names in piano roll in Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I am trying to understand how to enable the note names in the piano roll editor, according to some posts it should works creating a mapped instrument, I follow up each step but for me this solution does not work.
Basically I have created a software instrument with Drum Kit and I would like to see the names of each component of the drum when I am editing(for example snare, kick, toms HH etc), currently I only can see values as C4, C3, C2 etc
I appreciate your help, thanks in advanced.

Well it is a shame because the "Piano Roll" is a good and quickly tool for edit drums and midi software. I have used Cubase, ProTools, Reaper and they have notes names options available, I do not understand why Apple did not think in that option as well.
By the way today I have practiced with "Step Editor" option, it is interesting option but it is not better than edit with "Piano Roll".
I hope that Apple think in this little option but great tool for the next release.
Thanks Ericksimon.
PD: If anyone have another idea to edit drums quickly with Logic Pro X I appreciate the recommendation.

EA2 - MacOSX - Settings not migrated from 1.5

When I downloaded and launched 2.1, it did not migrate my settings (connections, snippets, etc.) from 1.5.1. I can't find a way to import them manually. Suggestions greatly appreciated!

K., your suggestion did bring up the migration dialog but it did not show any available SQL Developer installations to migrate from.
To work around this, I copied the contents of the old preferences location into the new:
cp -r ~/Library/Application Support/SQL Developer/* ~/.sqldeveloper
Then relaunching v2.1 allowed me select the old version to import. There is definitely an issue here that needs to be addressed. Why was the preferences location moved for this version?
Thanks for all the suggestions and quick replies, and especially for developing SQL Developer and keeping it free.

Brother MFC 7420 Not Printing From MacPro or Macbook Pro

My Brother MFC-7420 is hooked up to my iMac. I can print form the iMac. No problem. That computer is hard wired into my Airport Extreme, as is my MacPro. I choose to be wireless for my Macbook Pro. All are in the same room. All the settings for print and fax are checked in the iMac to allow anyone to print from the MCF-7420. Up until a few days ago, everything was honky-dory. Then when I went to print from my MacBook Pro, last week, the printer icon that poped out of my dock indicated the printer was off line. Ditto when I went to print from the Monitor attached to my MacPro. Short of calling Brother, does anyone know why I can print directly from my iMac, but the other two computer register "printer offline?'
Thanks for any help

Have you already completed the troubleshooting basics, like powering off the entire network, and then powering up modem first, then each network device one at a time?

Logic 9 - 3rd Party Plugin Settings not rememebered

Is anyone else having these problems?
GearBox and PodFarm don't recall their settings after Logic 8 to Logic 9 upgrade, so compete mixes have GONE!!!!
Wave Burner does the same thing with 3rd Party Plugins!!!!! Ozone is not recalling anything.
This is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD!
I've lost weeks, months and in some cases YEARS of work on some projects.
Thanks Apple, lovely.

This is the wrong forum (because it is clearly not a general problem with AudioUnits), you should contact the plugin manufacturers!
I don't know GearBox and PodFarm, but Ozone is incompatible with a new feature in WaveBurner and needs an update.

I want to prevent the message "your plugins are not uptodate" from appearing after each refresh of the browserpage

Yes, I know I have a 7 year old iMac with a stone-age CPU.
Yes, I know the OS X 10.4 is outdated.
Yes, I am aware that my version of Firefox is no longer supported.
Yes, I know that some of the plug-ins are outdated.
But the system works well enough for me, believe it or not, and on this hardware newer versions just don't work. So why remind me every time I refresh the browserpage of these obvious facts? This is extremely annoying, very user-unfriendly.... (I almost used words that should never be used in the public space.)
This way of pushing people into abandoning something that is still perfectly workable does in my mind not correspond with the values that Apple and/or Mozilla say to maintain, things like "focussing on user satisfaction" and "taking care for the environment".
Please tell me how to switch off these messages. Do not suggest me to install Ubuntu on my Mac. I am about to do that already.
Thanks in advance, fellows.
P.S. Those nasty people that might try to hack my machine do not need to know which plugins and versions are on it, so I don't list them here. If they bother to find out, they probably know more details already than I can provide.

Also, for program update reminders, you could try:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Update - set to "never check"
If that doesn't work, I believe there is a little update history file you can delete, but I'd have to search for more info on that.

Privacy Settings not manageable from account

I don't use Skype for desktop, but I still would want to be able to change privacy setting from the account page (to alter something from within the app would also be useful when you're on the road.). I can't believe I cannot change privacy settings directly from the account, without having to install the Skype app first.

I have the same problem and it is obnoxious.

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!:)
