Recovering Deleted Logic Pro 8 Project files with .logic extension

I've been trying to recover a project file I accidentally deleted from Logic Pro 8 for a few days now. I'm using FileSalvage and all that comes up are the older Logic files with the .lso extension - some from as far back as 9 months ago. But no files with the .logic extension have appeared.
The file I'm looking for was dragged into my trash on November 2 from my media drive (internal HDD #2) and I have barely used that drive since because I don't want to fragment the deleted file.
I realize that the new .logic files are bundles and when I show package contents, there are 2 files that show up.
Any ideas on how I can recover this file?

I was waiting for some ******* to respond to my post with a lecturing. Thanks for not disappointing me Christian.
I back up all 4 of my internal drives several times a day with SuperDuper. I also back up off site with Carbonite.com It's saved me from hard drive failure once. This is the first time in over a decade that I cannot find a file that I suspect I deleted by accident. That's a pretty good track record. I'm doing the best that I can with what I have.
Now here's a strategy for you to keep you "on the clever side" Christian: If you don't have a solution to a problem posted on here, don't bother posting your judgmental and arrogant ******** without knowing the entire situation of the person who's asking for help.

Logic pro Recovery

We need a lot more info in order to be able to help you....
What version of Logic Pro?
What has happened?
Drive failure or corrupted project?
What have you tried so far?
Have you tried using the Selective Track Import (STI) feature in Logic to try and recover most if not all the tracks from such a project? (assuming the project is actually readable...)

STI works much the same way in both Logic Pro 9 and LPX

PRINTING KEY COMMANDS/ EDITING VOCALS/LOGIC PRO 7 compared with Logic 8

Dear all,
q1: i am trying to print the key commands. A way to do this is by Copy Key Commands in the Options pull down menu and then paste it onto a text editor (e.g word). My problem is, when I paste it onto word the names of the commands appear but the actual key commands on the right do not, and some symbols appear on the left of the names where they should not. Is there a simple way to print the key commands. My word processor is a 2004 word version and my Logic Pro 7 about a year old.
q2: I am recording a multitude of vocals. Which window would you find most practical for quick and effective editing? the arrange window or going into each region by double click and trim detail there? I somehow seem to prefer the arrange but would welcome any suggestions.
q3: I feel much more comfortable using Logic Pro 7 as Logic 8 does not advance my workflow yet. Am I alone in thinking in these terms. Would you agree on the possibility of users sticking at 7 for quite some time, maybe a year or two before they switch to 8 if at all. I d be very interested to hear anyones thoughts on this
Thank you all for reading. if you can spare a thought ot two I d be so thankful.
Nik

My experience is that I only learn a few key commands at a time.. ie really use them and remember them. Therefore go to the KC window and open up the commands where you want to concentrate your learning. Then take a Screenshot
(Command + Shift + 4 and draw a box) which appears as a Picture 1 on your desktop. Then just refer to that
many users ( me included) are still working in L7 with occasional experimental forays into L8
Those really on top of L8 have committed early on and really gone for it.. if you dont have a high new info tolerance or are not particularly software savvy.. stick with L7

Logic Pro 8 Crashes with Logic Express 7.2 old files

I have 2 projects from logic express 7.2 that crash everytime I open them in Logic 8 any suggestions?

Hi
Logic 8.0.2 runs fine in Lion. The installer on the original dvd's will not run however, so you would need to install it using Pacifist.

edit
2G of RAM is a bit low.
2 GB is a bit lean, but LP 8 should be OK-ish with it. I used to run LP 8 on a G4 with only 1.8 GB. I would recommend the OP to install Menumeters, to keep an eye on RAM use. I ran Tiger (10.4.11), Lion probably has a bigger RAM footprint. If at all possible, go to 4 or even 8 GB.

Primavera import from MS Project file having .mpp extension

How can you import MS project file with .mpp extension to primavera p6v7. In primavera import options unseer Mocrosoft project it shows only .MPX and .XLM extensions.

You need MS Project installed on this same PC as P6.
Alternatively there was an old P3.1 utility that would convert .mpp to .mpx files.
See: "How to Convert MPP to MPX when Importing Microsoft Project Data into P3 [ID 892819.1]" in the Oracle KB for a download link.

They do. It's called Time Machine.
You need to reinstall all of your Apps. That should replace all of the support files you nuked.

Can't use .mid file with Logic Pro 9

I've been given a .mid file from someone I know but I'm not having any success trying to access the file in Logic.
The file should just contain a piano piece he had written.
When I first downloaded the file it automatically opened with QuickTime Player. I closed this then tried various ways of getting it into Logic. Firstly I went to File > Open, and chose the .mid file. This was the result:
"Damaged project or not a Logic Pro project!
"Search for fragments?
"Damaged projects might create problems and crashes!"
'Search' or 'Cancel'
When I click 'Search' I'm told:
"Read error!
"This is not a Logic Pro project!
"No tracks found"
'Continue'
So, is the file empty (no tracks found)?
Or, because it was not created in Logic, it can't be opened in Logic. (I think he is using a PC, not confirmed yet - I also don't know what DAW he's using, yet)
That's ridiculous though, I thought MIDI was a universal language?
I also tried dragging the file straight into a Logic project, which tells me:
"No tracks found"
Can someone please give me a little hand!? Thank you

Okay? Sorry, I have no experience with .mid files as I've never exported or imported them or moved them before... or even highlighted one before!
Two ideas, have your friend check and make sure the mid file plays on his/her system.
and/or
If the mid file checks out good on his/her system have them compress (ZIP) the file and resend as it could have become corrupted during transfer. It can happen.
Your description of the file (zero length) sounds like it missed the last few bytes.

Logic pro are crashing with plugin

Last week I bought Keylab 49 from Arturia. After installing the software, so now my DAW, Logic Pro 9, started to crash very often. One problem I have not had before on my computers. I use a Macbook with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (4GB memory) and a Macbook Pro, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor (4GB memory). Sometimes it crashes in the middle of a project, but it can not open a project where Arturia Keylab 49 is used as a plugin. Very frustrating when I want to use KeyLabs Synthesizers as part of my project. Both of my computers running OS X Mountain Lion. What's wrong and why it does not work as it should?

It's partly due to the ^&^$# Arturia software.
Try this, see if it helps.
Delete the Logic 10 preferences file AND the shared control surfaces file.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Be sure and remove both files. (with Logic not running of course) next time Logic boots these files will be recreated.

Logic Pro X compatibility with mbox 2 mini and 2009 core duo macbook

I currently have Pro Tools LE 8.0.3 and an Mbox2 Mini, both of which amazingly still work on Mountain Lion 10.8.4. I'm interested in learning Logic and am trying to confirm compatitility with the Mbox2 Mini on a first generation core duo Aluminum Macbook (2.4 Ghz) running 4gb of RAM. The system requirements just say 10.8.4 or later with a 64 bit processor. The Macbook runs fine, and I primarily just record stereo piano tracks, so it's not like I'm going to have 16 tracks running on it. Anyone using an Mbox2 Mini, and any issues with the hardware?

It's not an external device's compatibility with LPX that matters...
It's your external hardware's compatibility with whatever OS X version you are using to run LPX in.... that is important.
Im guessing you upgraded OS X about the same time you switched to LPX?
So....
Make sure you have installed the drivers and software from this page....
http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/quartet#tab-id-1
Failing that, contact Apogee support for further assistance
http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/contact-support
Note: Why is it showing Duet and not Quartet briefly? Are you sure you installed the correct drivers or did you, at one time have a Duet?
Additional: You might want to try this.. though I doubt it will fix things... but this can cure all kinds of weird issues...
Delete both the main plist and the CS file...
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Logic Pro
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Restart the computer.
Note: if you cannot find either of these files you didn't follow the instructions exactly as described

Since I'm not in the middle of anything critical and have multiple backups, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade. I've only been running for an hour or so, but here's where I am:
2008 MacPro, 8x2.8Ghz, 16Gb RAM. SSL MADI PCIe card for I/O. Logic 9.1.7
Tested with a couple of recent, decent size projects (40+ tracks, VIs and plugins). Not seeing any perormance differences.
Working:
- Euphonix MC Mix
- UAD2 Duo
- Spectrasonics Omnisphere
- NI Komplete 8
- Waves 9
- Soundtoys 4
- Wallander Instruments
- EW Play
- Melodyne
NOT Working:
- Access Virus TI. Plugin opens but cannot connect to Virus. I am running the latest stable v4 release - I will try installing the v5 public Beta and report back. This is a deal breaker so if I cannot get it working I will roll back to Lion
- SSL Duende Native. Authorization is failing. Possibly a CodeMeter issue or just authorizations lost during upgrade - will look at this next.
Make sure you are running the latest iLok driver - there was one released a few days ago.
More as it develops.

I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple offered a refund for users who purchased Logic Pro 9 30 days or less before the Logic Pro X launch, but they don't do it anymore, so if you want to upgrade to Logic Pro X, you have to purchase it in the Mac App Store
Part of this is incorrect...
Some App Store employee's "accidentally" (but in good faith) issued refunds to a few users who had purchased Logic 9 within 30 days prior to the mid-July release of Logic-X. Word quickly came down from Apple HQ that this was against App Store policy and the practice was immediately stopped.
To the original poster.. you never stood a chance, even if they were issuing refunds you didn't fall within the 30 day period. There were many who purchased Logic 9 a few days before the LX release who did not get a refund.
