Logic 9 not working in Snow Leopard

One of the fixes for this and similar problems is to download the latest Snow Leopard Combo updater and install it over the current 10.6.8 installation.

If you've updated incrementally via Apple's "Sortware Update" this could be the problem.

Just to add to Pancenter's suggestions, are you booting into 32 or 64 bit mode?

You can find out by going to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info > And clicking on the main Software tab > 64-bit Kernel and Extensions: yes/no

If it say's yes to 64-bit, try rebooting holding down the numbers 3 & 2. This will boot into 32 bit mode.

If it 32 bit, try rebooting while holding the numbers 6 & 4. This will boot into 64 bit mode. As long as you have the 64-bit Logic updates, I guess this should work better???

Shooting in the dark here, but Pancenter might be able to clarify if this would help or not.

AussieDJ,

Good points and well worth a try.

Pancenter & AssieDJ thank you very much for your comments...

I installed the combo and tried 64bit mode and unfortunately I'm facing the same issue which is killing me? Opens the project no problem then try and save etc it crashes now Logic is unusable.

Hopefully Lion will iron out the creases?

When you run Apple's software update...

Are there any Logic related (proappkit) installs that show up?

Obviously yhis is not affecting everyone or the forum would be chaos.

Well, more chaotic than usual.

posting from Ubuntu Studio

Disk Utility...Repair Permissions.

Then boot from the Apple install DVD and verify the drive integrity.

Also take a look at Utilities Audio/MDI Setup , make sure all the setting are correct.

Also,

Try creating and New Account and run Logic from there.

Hi Pancenter,

Thanks for your comments, but unfortunately all of the above has not solved the problem? Still the same issue even with a new account? I'm not sure where to turn next? Wait for Lion to arrive, if the same problem is happening do a system backup and revert back to Tiger?

Sorry to hear that John, that's all I got. Some developers I know say don't count on Lion to be the "magic fix" for current software problems. They couldn't (or wouldn't) elaborate. They've been running Dev versions of Lion for a while now.

I assume you've tried the basics like trashing the Logic permissions? Does running without any third party plugins work any better?

If nothing else works you may need to try removing your Logic installation and reinstalling (at least start with removing the app).

I might have a few things left to try yet.

Can you please copy & paste (don't attempt to type) this into Terminal & post results:

kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 } '

Also, how much disk space have you got free?

Hi AussieDJ,

I just installed Snow Leopard and am having a similar problem. Quit does nothing and when trying to save a project, the screen flashes white, and crashes.

I ran your command from terminal and here's the result:

com.Apogee.driver.EnsembleFWOverideDriver

com.motu.driver.USBMidiKext

com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard

Thoughts?

Thank you!
