I've recently updated to the new Lion, and all off sudden, I can't open my Logic Express anymore. It gets stuck in the loading screen at "checking midi drivers". Does anyone know how to solve this?
Logic Studio, Mac OS X (10.7)
I am having the same issue with this and GarageBand. You should go to the website of the midi device maker to download the most recent driver, my issue is there aren't any for Lion yet. Whether or not they're plugged in I can't use my programs, I have GarageBand '09 and will update if that will resolve the issues but if not then I definitely won't. I'm thinking about going back to Snow Leopard because I can't open Pro Tools or Digital Performer either so I have no working audio production programs which is a shame because I like Lion. Anyone know about uninstalling the device drivers? I can't even load the midi setup so I'm up a creek without a paddle.
I've tried downloading the newest drivers up to 5 times or so. I've even reinstaled Pro Tools, to see if was a digidesign m-box flaw. (I have a digidesign m-box mini btw.)
But thanks for the response. It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. Well, with Lion, anyway.
I've done the same to no avail... It's interesting because (along with an Oxygen 8 and a MPD18 controller) I also have the Mbox2 mini, but it's not a problem with that because it works as an audio output (most of the time, reinstall and restart if it's not). I'm uneasy because I recently purchased the upgrade to pro but am not installing it until this is resolved. I'm thinking of going to Library > Audio > Midi Drivers and deleting everything there but don't want to cause any further complications.
Thanks so much! GarageBand and Logic work now, for me the DigiDio midi driver was giving the issues but after removing it my apps open and I didn't have to download or install any drivers.

You're Welcome... Glad you got it Sorted...
So what you're saying is, that I have to delete the Digi Dio driver, and do nothing else?

Deleting the Digi Dio driver fixed Jono6Ill problem... But yours could be different...
Have you been to the Discussion Link posted above...?
Yup, after following the discussion link's instructions everything's good, I didn't even have to restart!
Hi Jono6Ill,
Even though all appears to be OK... A Restart after Uninstalling is recommended...
Cheers,
Yes, I did read it. It's just, I've had some bad expiriences with deleting drivers before, so I would be very sad, if something went wrong...
Oh yeah, I've definitely restarted and backed up everything and would also recommend it. I was just pointing out how simple it was, once I cleared the folder the applications started right up.
I was hesitant to delete the drivers but truthfully, none of them were even necessary to my midi controllers and you don't have to automaticlly delete them, just removing them from the folder was all that it needed.
... 😎
When I move my drivers to the desktop, it's not really moving them, it's just copying them.. What to do?
Since they're copied you can delete them from the folder and you still have them available. Just wondering, is your MBox working as an audio output?
