Quick tip: aborting the loading of a song

I like to keep aliases to each project file I'm working on, for a given album, in a single folder. Now I must be a spaz, but about once a week I double-click on the wrong file in the list, usually missing the [intended] one above/below it by a millimeter.
Luckily, there's a quick stop for this, if Logic isn't already running: when you realize it was the wrong file, IMMEDIATELY hold down the command key. If you catch it early enough, you will be prompted to launch Logic in Demo mode, at which point you can click the "Quit" button.
This has saved me a lot of time, as some of my projects take minutes to open. Nothing worse than sitting through all the loading of samples & plugs just so you can Quit immediately.

or whilst logic is active and about to launch
hold down OPTION+APPLE and hit ESCAPE then hit ENTER/RETURN
thats it
its the easiest way, this also useful when applications are frozen or not responding
and its also good when you got too many folders open and you can't be bothered to close one by one
hold down OPTION+APPLE and hit ESCAPE then select FINDER and hit ENTER/RETURN
done all folders close at once
stash

  • "Apple Quick Tip of the Week" podcast crashes AppleTV

    I have iTunes set to download the Apple Quick Tip Of The Week (AQTOTW) podcasts, and then sync them to my AppleTV. Nearly every one of the AQTOTW podcasts that I play causes the AppleTV video to stutter and eventually, the white Apple logo appears. After a few seconds, I am seeing the main menu.
    None of the other podcasts that I view on the AppleTV have this problem.
    The software on the AppleTV is up to date. iTunes runs on a Macmini which is running Leopard (up to date as well).
    The AQTOTW are very useful, how can I view them on the AppleTV?

    There are a number of good hints in this post, many of which apply in Leopard.

  • Quick tip of the week

    Hi All,
    Have you noticed that the "quick tip of the week" on the apple.com/business/videotips page are done on machines running tiger. A number of them including some of those most recently added (e.g. "When a pdf is too big", and "zip up your files") seem not to be applicable in Leopard. I find this a bit weird. Come on apple get up to speed with Leopard please.
    BTW anyone know how to shrink down the size of a pdf in Leopard?
    Thanks

    If you type "begin" into the search of keycommands you'll find it.  You can also enable a button in the control bar area.

  • Quick Tip of the Week: Take a Quick Look at the files in Trash

    I ran this Quick Tip which was emailed to me today, but noticed that the Quick Look icon demonstrated isn't on my Toolbar, instead there's something called a Path icon, and Finder>View>Customise Toolbar is greyed out, so I do not appear to be able to change it. Quick Look works when I press the space bar, so it is on my iMac.
    Does anybody know why Quick Look isn't on the Toolbar, and how to change the Path icon for Quick Look?

    To open a Finder window, click a clear space on your Desktop. You'll see the word Finder top left in your screen. You can press command Command N on your keyboard or use your mouse and from the Menu Bar (top of screen) click File/New Finder Window.
    Migration Assistant will transfer all your files and important settings for you.
    To see exactly which Mac OS version you are running, click the Apple logo top left in your screen, then click, "About This Mac". The version number will be displayed in that pane.

  • I loaded the profile song toolbar twice, how do I get rid of the duplicate and profile song will not show when I am on my FB page anymore it gives me a strange security error

    1.) Just tried reloading the toolbar for profile song. I now have two and not sure how to get rid or uninstall one of them.
    2.) Profile Song used to load within my FB page itself when I logged in and now it doesnt show at all there.

    If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • HT204406 Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

    Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

    Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
    Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
    This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

    You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited.  See this article for more details.
