Weird Apple Loops Utility Problem

Hi All

I've just bought a new 2.4ghz macbook and loaded the complete Logic Studio Upgrade. Now, if I click on the download icon on the toolbar, click the open in finder icon, the apple loops utility opens...! This happens at various points throughout the system. I click something (seems random so can't trace exactly) and the ALU opens...!!??

Anyone else getting this problem?

Al

macbook aluminium 2.4ghz, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 4Gb RAM

Your LaunchServices database is hosed. Open Terminal, type in this command, and press return.

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Once it's finished, type in this command in Terminal to restart the Dock:

killall Dock

Everything should be okay now!

Hi Louis,

Could you help me out too? I also did a Logic Studio Upgrade and when I access my loops in the Logic media browser, it shows garageband jam packs twice. ie Voices, world etc all have 2 duplicate folders. Any ideas why?
