Native instruments does not show up in AU

My FM8 plugin from Native instruments does not show up in my AU, but works fine as a standalone. Other AU plugins as VSL (vienna symphony library) works fine.
Any tips how i can fix it???

Thanx

Have you checked your Audio Units Manager in Logic?
*Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio Units Manager*

Check the folder *Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components* if there is an FM8.component in there. If not, just install the AU from disk.

I can´t find it in Audio Units manager.

i can find it in library/Audio/plug ins/components. Where kontaktPlayer 2,vienna and everything else is. But it still does not show up i AU in Logic.
i even updatet to the newest Logic update, with no luck.
I might ad that nothing from Native Instruments show up. Not only Fm8 but also Kontakt Player 2

Are you by any chance running Logic in 64 bit mode? If that's so, quit Logic, set it to 32-bit, restart Logic. Now all plugs should be scanned. When that's done, you can quit Logic again and start it up in 64 bit mode (if you want), and all plugins should be available (via the 32 bit Bridge application)

I managed to fix the problem, I forgot to open up Logic Pro in 32 bit mode from the finder menu (Command _ i)

i thought that simply rebooting my mac in 32 bit would do the trick...

Only now I cant seem to run my mac in 64 bit although i hold down the 6 and 4 key..

But that´s another issue..

Tanx for your help

6 and 4 key are for starting *Snow Leopard* in 64 bit mode - don't do that, Logic in 64 bits mode runs perfectly fine in SL 32 bits mode.
With SL in 64 bits mode, all your drivers and apps need to be 64 bit as well for them to work, and they (many) probably aren't (yet).
Summarize: boot SL in 32 bit mode, do the cmd-I on Logic and uncheck "open in 32 bit mode". Now you can run Logic in 64 bit mode.
Remember, SL 64 bit mode is UNRELATED to Logic 64 bit mode. In fact, don't use SL in 64 bit mode at all, unless you know what you're doing and why.
