Make sure that the Logic Express application is inside the Applications folder (and not in any sub-folder). Make sure the application is named "Logic Express" with no numbers or spaces after the name. Then download and run the 9.1.8 updater

Error when launching Logic Express

I just got a new (mid 2011) iMac and can't run Logic Express. It ran fine on my MBP, but when I try to launch I get the message: An error occurred while trying to open "Logic Express" /Applications/Logic Express.app.
Trashing and reinstalling didn't help. Any advice?

Never mind. Turns out my original software update hadn't brought Logic up to the latest version. Works great now.

Problems launching Logic Express 7.2.2

I recently purchased and installed the Logic 7.2 Crossgrade. I used Software Update to upgrade to 7.2.2. Now when I launch Logic it crashes. This is from my userid which is setup as an admin.
If I launch Logic 7.2.2 from the 'root' account, it launches. Any ideas on what is wrong? I ran Repair Permissions and that did not help. I'm sure it has to do with file permission but where would I look to determine what files aren't readable by my own account.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can launch it, just the first launch has to be
done from an Admin account.
Actually I can't from an admin account. Here's what I get (brief exerpt from crash dump):
Version: 7.2.3 (961.9)
Build Version: 14
Project Name: Logic
Source Version: 9610900
PID: 258
Thread: 0
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000
I wrote a script to list the permissions of all files listed at the bottom of the crash output and they are set to one of the following:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin
... which I can read. What I don't know is if the any of the files listed in the crash is the actual one causing the (permissions) problem. The account I'm running from shows the following output from groups:
$ groups
<userid> shared appserveradm appserverusr admin
I'm open to other suggestions.

I installed logic express 9 on my mac but it says it cant be used on my mac OS X 10.9.1 anyone know why this is?

Is there anyone knowing why this is?

Because it is probably so old, that it doesn't run on 10.9. You have to update Logic Express to 9.1.8 and it will work. Just run "Software Update".

Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

Why can't I drag and drop my own songs and clips from itunes into logic express?

I have been on the road for 8 months and now I can't use my own stuff in logic express?
<Edited by Host>

Hello Rocksinger99,
Before we go into the why you are not able to copy your iTunes content to an external hard drive, what is the purpose of copying the content there? The reason I ask is because there are different scenarios that may be done differently. So if you just want to move the media off your internal hard drive, then look at the first article to walk you through how to just move the media folder by using iTunes to start the transfer. If you are copying the media to move it to another computer, then check the format of the external hard drive and make sure that it is formatted for Mac. Take a look at the last two for information on finding out the format as well as steps to get it formatted for Mac. Let me know what you find out.

Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

Its likely to be caused by Ozone5.. many people have reported that plugin is currently quite unstable and are awaiting updates from izotope to fix the problem... No ETA has been given by izotope for the fix however...
Also several of your plugins are out of date (Zebra2, Clariphonic, Ozone itself.. to name but a few,)
Finally, you are running an older version of Logic Pro X (10.0.3)...and I would normally suggest you update to the latest version but... if you have a USB2 audio interface do not update to 10.0.5 at this time.... unless you know it will work correctly with the new version of LPX.

Why doesnt AU Manager doesn't launch in Express after upgrade to 10.4.10?

I recently upgraded to 10.4.10 and Express 7.1.1 crashed when first opened it. Since then it opens fine but my MOTU plugin is missing and I'm unable to launch my AU Manager to see what the problem is. Is this a bug in 10.4.10 that I dont know about? Anyone had similar problems that managed to fix it?

I'm answering my own question incase others have difficulty. In short, Logic Express 7.1.1 AU Manager doesn't appear to work with OSX 10.4.10. So I wouldnt update yet if i were you!
I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall and older version OSX (10.4.7) and it's working fine again.
I'm surprised that this update has been put out there without a warning. I will be waiting a while before I click on the software update button again!

Why Is Logic Express 9 Afraid Of 2 GB Files?

I use GarageBand to record my podcasts. Sometimes - when the duration of the mono recording is approximately 1 hr - GB (32-bit) will crash when I try to export to MP3, because it's running out of available memory. I'll leave aside what I know about programming in 32-bit, and how UNIX-based OSes shouldn't have too much difficulty turning a 1 gigabyte GB proprietary data file into a 30 megabyte MP3.
I purchased Logic Express 9 because it could operate in 64-bit mode, and be able to get to the remaining 4 Gb of RAM on my iMac that GB couldn't see. For podcasts around 1 hr, this worked. However, now I've got a 2-hr podcast from GB, and LE9 is complaining that "the maximum file size of 2 GB has been exceeded." There's a post at:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6149049
but back in 2008 the posters expected Apple to fix this. The last post was three years ago.
Back in the days when Macs came equipped with drives that had 10's of gigabytes of disk space, I could see where putting 2 Gb out into the file system might be dicey. But my new iMac has over 1,000 Gb of space. Apple, are you kidding me? This is an arbitrary limitation for a machine that is both 64-bit and has 8 Gb of RAM not to mention 500 Gb of free disk space. ***?
The previous article had some suggestions that I'm about to try. But this is just stupid.
So, just to ask: is Logic Studio better? Did Apple hamstring Express? What about Logic Pro?
Cheers,
karl

Fox:
My apologies for taking so long to get back to you. I need to pay more attention!
So, GB really does crash when trying to export to MP3 of anything longer than about 1 hour 15 minutes or so. I did find a fix for this - there's an option in Preferences that if turned off GB will stop trying to do some kind of whole-track normalization while it does the MP3-compression. I haven't tried this on the 2-hour recording, but it works for the 1:15 recording. While in its failure behavior (i.e., before I turned off the option), I watched the memory usage of the entire machine while GB attempted to compress the MP3 and it crashed ("The application GarageBand has unexpectedly quit") as soon as it ran out of memory (i.e., its memory demands were 4+ Gb, which is the max for all 32-bit apps).
LE spins the beachball and then displays the aforementioned message about a max file size of 2 Gb. LE is running in 64-bit mode, but I have no idea why a file size of 2 Gb is a problem for it. Especially when the resulting MP3 file is smaller than 100 Mb.
My guess: Apple didn't stress-test either of these products with Really Large Files.
Good luck with your endeavor!
Cheers,
karl

Using Logic Express 9.1.8 - Upgraded to Mavericks and now can't open Logic Express. Why please?

As soon as I try and open the LE application the icon starts bouncing up and down in the bottom tray and that's it. There is no more. I have to right click and force quit.
Became fed up and dragged it to the trash with the intention of reinstalling form original Logic Expres 9.0.0 disc. Couldn't install though as the installer crashes.
Don't know if this because of the "upgrade" to Mavericks but it a real coincidence.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Well, the first thing I would have done is launch Disk Utility and run Repair Disk Permissions. It sounds like your problem may have been a permissions error and this may have resolved it. If that didn't help I would have next gone to my user>Libary>Preferences folder and deleted "com.apple.logic.express.plist."
Next step would have been to reboot the computer in Safe Mode or create a new user account to see if LE9 would launch.
Even though you trashed LE9 I would still suggest repairing permissions at this point. Also, do a Spotlight search for Logic Express to find any remaining LE files that you might want to delete . . . primarily preference files like the .plist mentioned above. Now restart your computer and try running the installer again.
Just an FYI, LE9 will indeed work in Mavericks. I used it briefly until I decided to get rid of Mavericks and go back to 10.8.5.

You're no tard - had exactly the same issue myself. You'd think logic would have some built in message that suggests you run a software update before opening...

Why Logic Express 9.1.6 (64bit) crash in 10.6.8?

I never had any crashes in Logic Express before. I lost some great irreplaceable recordings I made
