Logic Pro 10.8 not opening existing sessions, not giving the option to create new sessions or create sessions from templates

Running Logic Pro 10.8 on Venture 13.6.1, on a late 2019 16" MacBook Pro 2.3Ghz i9 8Core, 32 Gb RAM.


Installed a few days ago and opened a session fine, all plugins load fine.

Shut down the machine and came back to open up Logic, no load in screen, just opens right up, doesn't scan anything.


I have deleted logic plist preferences, deleted AU cache and logs, rescanned plugins, removed the AU components from the components folder and relaunched Logic, always same result.


I have deleted and reinstalled Logic twice. Same result.


Screen shots attached show the option to open a file, create a file either new or from template, are all greyed out.



In Settings/General regards of whether I tell Logic to open a template, new file or last opened file, it does nothing.



Settings/Advanced will not hold the Enable Complete Features tickbox checked. It resets each time I open Logic.




I am assuming there is something clashing somewhere between this new version of Logic and my Intel Mac. But that is just a guess.


Any assistance in this would be very much appreciated.


Thank you

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.6

Sorry, that didn't work neither, I tried all 3 SIP settings, no difference.


But, I finally managed to solve the problem by uninstalling ALL of Logic Pro and reinstalling from scratch. By ALL I mean: I also deleted my Sound Library, which was on an external disk. And I deleted the folders ~/Caches/com.apple.musicapps and ~/Caches/com.apple/logic10 as well. My guess is that some broken info was stored somewhere in ~/Caches/com.apple.musicapps and/or in the external Sound Library, which was blocking the normal launching procedure of Logic Pro, making it stop launching somewhere in an unstable status.


But, a big relief, it is working as expected now.


Many thanks for all who helped sort this out, I'm a happy Logic user again!

Hi All,


Sorry for my delay in responding.


So, I spent about 1 hour 40 mins on a call with Apple Support about a week after posting this. I’ve have had a few personal things which have delayed my getting back on here to post.


The end result was to delete particular files including Logic preference files.


I was also asked to remove all AUs from the components folder and place them elsewhere (to be put back in after this process) before deleting anything.


Before doing this it is advised that you back up or copy all the existing files in these folders that you will move or delete. That way you can always put them back in case you are not having the exact same issue that I was.


These are the folders that the Apple Support person said needed my attention:


~/Library/Application Support/Logic/

~/Library/LaunchAgents/

~/Library/LaunchDaemons/

~/Library/Saved Application State/


As it’s been so long, I cannot remember fully the files that need to be removed from these folders. But I think it was all of them or those related to Logic. A couple of the folders only had 1 file in them.


If someone else can confirm that would be a great help.


Again sorry for the delay and vagueness.
