Q: Using Logic Express 9.1.8 - Upgraded to Mavericks and now can't open Logic Express. Why please?

As soon as I try and open the LE application the icon starts bouncing up and down in the bottom tray and that's it. There is no more. I have to right click and force quit.

 

Became fed up and dragged it to the trash with the intention of reinstalling form original Logic Expres 9.0.0 disc. Couldn't install though as the installer crashes.

 

Don't know if this because of the "upgrade" to Mavericks but it a real coincidence.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    Well, the first thing I would have done is launch Disk Utility and run Repair Disk Permissions. It sounds like your problem may have been a permissions error and this may have resolved it. If that didn't help I would have next gone to my user>Libary>Preferences folder and deleted "com.apple.logic.express.plist."

     

    Next step would have been to reboot the computer in Safe Mode or create a new user account to see if LE9 would launch.

     

    Even though you trashed LE9 I would still suggest repairing permissions at this point. Also, do a Spotlight search for Logic Express to find any remaining LE files that you might want to delete . . . primarily preference files like the .plist mentioned above. Now restart your computer and try running the installer again.

     

    Just an FYI, LE9 will indeed work in Mavericks. I used it briefly until I decided to get rid of Mavericks and go back to 10.8.5.
