Logic Pro X crash on startup since 10.2.0 update

You need to look at the crash log to determine the cause of the crash.... or if you need help reading it... up it to Dropbox and post up a link to it here..

It's likely to be a driver incompatibility issue or plugin or application thats now conflicting.. (Typical culprits are things like Avid/Mackie/M-Audio drivers... or apps like Automap, 32Lives, Jack, SoundFlower and so on..) but again, that can only be confirmed with a look through the crash log....

Hey there Freeptom, i seem to be having the same problem your having right now, please let me know when you find a solution to this

Its very unlikely you are having the exact same issue.... unless you are using identical hardware and your crash log is identical in every way.

Please create a new thread and post up your crash log there as suggested in my previous post

Thanks...

Thanks for the really quick reply, here's the link to the crash report, it would be great if I could have help with it: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/onros2xpjqe9qe7/AADI93HYizgKe5Ea3Z5Ix9DBa?dl=0

I do use M-Audio products so it may be them?

Thanks!

Ok...

I took a look at your crash log and it seems the problem is related to the new Alchemy plugin and your Midi/Audio interface in some odd way... Maybe some kind of conflict going on....

Hard to say exactly what is likely to fix it but you may want to check you are using the latest drivers for your Midi/Audio interfaces... and/or if they are 'driverless' devices.. that they are fully compatible with OS X 10.10.5

I cannot reproduce the problem here on any of my Mac setups... In fact running 10.2 and 10.10.5 have proven, so far, to be very stable....

Sorry, wish I could be more helpful but this could be one of those... "who knows' problems.... that might require a lot of troubleshooting.. such as removing all 3rd party drivers and hardware for example... to help eliminate and/or identify the true cause of this issue

Yes... possibly.....

Ah... Well, that would explain things..

Tip: Never move things around that have been installed by an Apple app unless you know exactly what you are doing and the possibile consequences 🙂

Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for letting us know the outcome..

Cheers..

Thanks for this. I was using an alias in here to store content on an external drive in Logic 9. There was no issue that this alias existed in the user library instead of system library until 10.2. It was actually hard to find because I was looking for a folder. For anyone now wanting store the Logic library on an external drive, use a symbolic link. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AS TAOS SAID. Apologies for the caps but I had to delay completion of an important project 8 hours and I thought I knew what I was doing. I had completely forgot there was an alias sitting in the user library.

Cheers,

Aaron,

Absolutely.......

Aliases Vs Symbolic Links...... (SymLinks)

See my comment in this thread....

Logic X 10.2.0 crashes after Update

..and for those wishing to use a SymLink...

Again, only proceed when you are sure you know exactly what you are doing and the possible consequences of such.. and make a good solid Clone backup of your System Drive using CCC or SuperDuper! before doing so...

Had the same issue, what worked for me was deleting and creating ~/Music/Audio\ Music\ Apps/ manually.
