Q: Tons of trouble with Logic Studio since day one

Logic 9.1.5

Os 10.6.8

 

Issue 1:

I haven't touched logic in months because I've hated the fact that I had issues with it to begin that no one could ever solve. My first issue was that certain instruments that were installed couldn't be opened. I was greeted with a message saying something along the lines that that instrument couldn't be found. I had installed everything fresh on an external drive. All options that could be installed on a second drive were installed there. I dont remember the exact name of the issue/error because its been months since I've even opened logic cause its been nothing but a problem for me. I did hours of googling searching and only found one thread of people having the same problem but ended in the guy saying his tech support dude was gonna talk to him and it never go resolved.

 

Similar to issue one:

There's supposed to be 6 jam packs, but only 2 of them show at the bottom of the Library list. I believe they are: Jam Pack Voices and Jam Pack World Music. I looked up the location of where these jam packs are supposed to install and all 6 of them are there in folders.

 

Issue 2:

I would LOVE to get this fixed, but I don't even know exactly the issue anymore, so I've kind of gotten over this. I recently opened logic after not touching it for months, after a huge update. I now have this annoying midi issue. It seems as if the midi is CONSTANTLY being triggered on whatever track is being highlighted. But the sound is all distorted. I might be about to shoot a video for you guys to see if that helps. Ive only got 3 peripherals. An axiom 49 midi controller, a presonus faderport, and a m audio fast track ultra 8r...all of which I turned off and unplugged and still had the problem. It happens on old sessions and new sessions. As soon as an instrument is selected, it starts triggering it and cutting into whatever being played.

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME if you have any clue on how to resolve either of these issues. I've done SO much research and have found nothing. I only gave up on logic because I haven't ever gotten it to work correctly. When I did mess with it, I enjoyed it. I'm a pro tools guy who wants to expand his options, but this is really causing me to never touch it again.

 

Ill report the specific error name to the first issue when I see it again. It happens when I'm searching through sounds, Ill go to click on one and itll just pop up saying something about it not being found, or exs24 sampler can't be found or something like that. Though I installed them all on the hard drive...everything. Also, I have tried re-indexed my logic library like everyone suggest and nothing has changed.

 

If you can help, please do so. If this is in the wrong section, I apologize now. 

 

Update to Issue one:

 

This is the error message I get one clicking on certain instruments:

 

"EXS24 instrument "Fingerstyle Electric Bass.exs" not found."

 

This error happened on my old macbook white and my brand new imac which logic was freshly installed on. Thats two separate systems both exhibiting the same issue. Even on a NEW iMAC! I wonder why no one else is having these issues.

 

P.S. I copied and past this from another forum on the net (gearslutz) because I wasn't getting any help or suggestions.  I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.  I can post video clips of any of the issues if anything is unclear.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Update on Issue 2:

     

    I'm actually starting to believe its related to my Faderport.  I initially tested to see if it was the problem by unplugging it while logic was on and the problem still occured, but I closed down logic and unplugged it, then started it back up and it seems to be working fine as of now.
