Logic Pro 7 system overload - can anyone help

yall think thats a problem. i was working on a project for 2 days straight tell me why when i saved logic crashed and then deleted all my saved work from 24 hours ago. like i dont understand how i spend all this money on a computer and a program and then you call these so called genius and they dont have the answer i just cant get it. i should of gotten pro tools.

...and look at these shoes! I've only had 'em three weeks and the heels are worn right thru...

Well that sounds awfully voodoo. Besides that they are located in Hamburg (as once were Emagic), I couldn't find any reason why it would be applicable. I ran it though, it doesn't recognize the USB dongle anyway.

I have found that a full reboot seems to clear it up for a spell. It may be related to the USB device in some weird way, but...

thanks though.

Well it seems alot of people are getting this same message.
Is there a solution to this problem, because I get this same error..
I am running tiger on a dual 1.8, 4 gigs of ram.. I ran a hardware test that took me 40 minutes. No problems detected.. Im looking into configuring raid 5 thinking this might solve the problem, because the disk error says it's too slow.. The only advice I got from apple was to freeze the tracks, that guy was a idiot. Pay for apple care to get no clue answers.. Ive ran windows with the old e-magic software with no problems and the same audio!! I'm wondering why apple isn't solving this issue. Maybe someone can figure out what is this malfunction

I dont think apple is trying to solve this problem.....

WHY?

Because we the users are too busy trying to solve it for them instead of taking it to the *** of apple. i've said it b4 and will say it again... The apple base users are too laid back. We need to all get together and demonstrate that we're not willing to stand for this crap any longer.

It has to do with swap space. If you switch between applications too much or have too many applications open then the OS starts making a large "swap file" which slows down its response. Logic isn't using that much, but the OS itself is getting swamped.

Simply restart the computer to reset the swap file. Its something I think they should find a way to automatically do, but I find that as soon as I get those messages or its gets sluggish, I restart and everything is fine then.

Also, switch off the annoying message dialog. In prefs, just tell it to stop and don't whine to you about it.

Isn't this for Cubase?

I aggree!

Why on earth are we left to work this problem out on our own, and.....on their site for gods sake! they must read this, dont they!, why are they not offering any solution! i too have this problem, and its a major F...UP, if there was a problem this widespread with Itunes, i bet there would be major backlash, but were all to passive, I think its time to prize some answers out of their tightly packed, "nano" sized pockets!

Things to check:

1) that you've got enough memory free. Verify the amount of free memory you have at the time of the overload using one of the aforementioned tools.

2) Verify your Firewire or USB setup if you're using a Firewire/USB audio device. Be especially wary if you've got a Firewire bus and doing I/O to samples contained on a Firewire drive; likewise for USB - you may be using all of the available Firewire bandwidth, and drives don't always play nice with other devices. Use separate buses when possible. To the person with their samples on an 'external' drive - this looks pretty likely. Bet you've got a firewire drive and a firewire audio subsystem. Bet it only happens when you stream samples from that hard drive.

3) Verify that your CPU is at 100% when that goes off. Run a CPU meter and watch the system load; find out which application tasks are responsible for that load. If CPU time is being taken by anything other than Logic, you need to look into why.

If the CPU's pegged at 100%, you're not throttling disk I/O due to streaming, and you've got free memory, then blame the software.

If all of the above aren't true, then there's more you can do.
