uodated to 10.5.1 now logic won’t start

Same issue for me. Even when I get to the end of the scanning, the next time I boot, it’s the same again. Verify the plugins each time!!! Crazy Apple. On to another DAW. I can’t handle the stress from it. They need a fix.

I finally got Logic 10.5.1 to start up without any BS.

First try this.

Delete your AU cache (user- Library--Caches-AudioUnitCache

and the logicx preferences. ( user-preferences)

rescan all plug ins.

the problem is a incompatible AU Plug

I had to do this a few times and also drag/copy any questionable plug-ins(such as older versions of your VI Audio Units to a folder on the desktop and then send them to the trash. Logic now apparently has a **** of a time figuring out how to straighten things out on its own but it may give you a few hints. It looks like it might have been the Audio Units for VE Pro 5. I’m not sure though. It’s probably not an actual bug that was introduced in Logic 10.5.1 but a new weakness.

hello, Apple?!

anybody home?!?!

hello hello hello, Apple... anyone...

I feel lucky in that my Logic is still working fine, and the workaround I have to perform EVERY TIME I NEED TO USE LOGIC is thankfully short and easy.

because it sounds as if there are users out here spending HOURS of their own valuable time doing Apple's work for them (for free obvi).

seriously, Apple, we desperately need you to be looking at this and letting us know how long this is going to take for a fix. talk to us!

thank you,

I fear that those of us on older systems, (pre 2019) are being aged out spending on what OSX you are running.

It seems that mostly Mojave users on "older" Macs were running into this issue- but I have seen Catalina users (on older computers) were having this issue as well... Who here thinks Apple won't fix this for us?

Nope... unfortunately... I have the newest Apple MacBook Pro (Pumped Up) on Catalina - everything upgraded - and still had an issue - luckily - i had a time machine backup went back to Logic 10.5 and everything works like it did before!

Apple needs to address this ASAP.

Right. I read all this. I mean all the responses, and all the hoops some of you poor people are having to jump through. I really don't care a flying fornication what Apple/Logic "supporters" think. I was a die-hard Apple lover, until Mr. Jobs' demise and, thereafter, the company grew enormously rich and became hugely successful, yet rapidly diminished in quality. I've used Apple and Logic since the '90's , but what we have here is a laughing stock. I mean, practically the Emperor's new pyjamas.

I reluctantly upgraded to Mojave, only because 10.5.x will not run on High Sierra. What happened next was exactly the experiences described within this thread. Frankly, speaking as a long-term professional, it's disgusting. Amateur. I have other words, but they would be censored, so I refrain from the vernacular, when I say, Apple and Logic is a veritable pile of canine excrement, right now. "Oh" , they will whine, " it's because everything is so much more complex now, with third party stuff". Yeah? Total testicles is my response. AU/ VST,etc., are standards. Tried and trusted(?!) templates to ensure consistency of results. Please, stop it.

Why am I sitting, like a dummy, waiting for the AU to complete in this Logic incarnation, only to be INSULTED, after several hours of unprecedented incrapitude, resulting in....? Logic 10.5.1 not even opening, that's what.

Very glad I came upon this forum to restore my diminishing sanity. I solved my problem. I had a recent Super Duper back up and simply dragged over Logic 10.4.8, to replace the ghastly 10.5.1. It opened immediately, thus making a total mockery of this joke of an "upgrade" and AU fiasco. So, I'll simply keep working with that, until Apple haul their lazy posteriors up to speed and fix this insanely dumb issue...

By the way, someone on this thread actually thanked Apple for fixing many bugs. Was this sarcasm?? Yeah, fixed dem nasty bugs, but can't actually open the stupid app to work. Jayhoos H Ridiculous.

Over and out, and thanks for sharing.

I have issues with logic loading up and also a few plugins wouldn't work , had an issue with Nicky remero kick (not kick2) got kick 2 working but I have projects which iv used this on and can't load it with kick2 as it doesn't have the patches

Had this happen to me this morning...the beach ball when opening logic x. So I found this discussion page this morning. Today is July 11th, 1 month after these postings...and no new postings or info or fix? Are you kidding me? This is nonsense. I’ve been debating for quite awhile about moving to Studio One or Pro Tools and if this isn’t rectified rather soon I’m done with Logic...which is a shame because it has some great features (and I’m used to it). But if it takes over a month to get a fix just to make it usable then something is really wrong here. Even the month old suggested workarounds can’t be tried because you can’t open logic to begin with! A month? Really?

I just posted a response, and it got deleted within one minute. Here's the email explanation:

We removed your post “uodated to 10.5.1 now logic won’t start” because it contained inappropriate language or comments. We understand wanting to share experiences, but these forums are meant for technical questions that can be answered by the community.

Pathetic. And offensive. Goodbye Apple. You cannot proved an answer, so censor those who are merely trying to point you in the right direction.

This may true for some but for others the beach ball will be spinning even if left over night. My issue actually began while in Logic as I was getting an error message about certain AU plug-ins. Then it progressed to the never ending beach ball.

That’s exactly what happened to me and it was overnight and was still spinning When I got up the next morning so I did a clean install, which was a big hassle but everything is OK now and I have re-organized many of the items I had originally

Apple is not here. Only users.

You can provide feedback to Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html.

I would not expect a real "fix". A kind of workaround maybe...

Same thing happened here and just hanging on the Incompatible Audio Units page.

I’m trying it now. Curious to know your OS and computer model. Are you running Mojave as well?
