pbthias Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi! I have this really weird bug/problem... in Logic Express 7.2. The prog itself seems to work fine, I can hear music playing without stuttering, etc. All other stuff on the system is working fine, too. But here is the problem which renders Logic unusable right now: In every editor window (or arrange window) Logic doesn't detect a held mouse button. !. When I click and HOLD the left button it still reacts as if i had only clicked (released the button immediately). This means I can't drag/size/mark multiple objects at all. Or draw notes. Strange thing is, that if I create a virtual instrumen (ES1 or sth.) and open its interface the "hold mouse button" works without problems on faders, etc. It DOES NOT in the track mixer! When i open a project and select a region with the name-tool and the rename-box opens I can mark parts of the text in that tiny box: holding button works. It also does in the preferences dialogs. Reeeeeaaallly weird. Also I have no problems at all with the mouse in any other program yet. Any ideas? Help? System specs: AMD x2 3800+ A8N-SLI-Premium 512MB x1600-XT (QE/CL working) PS2 mouse and keyboard OSX running on an external USB drive (native) Greets, Thias.

mono45rpm Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 hey there, wich version of tiger are you using ? i remember someone with that kind of problem before in 10.4.5, i think. and it was related to IOPCIFamily.kext , try replacing with an older or newer version of that kext, in your extensions folder. good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21826-straaaange-problem-in-logic-express-72/#findComment-144182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I am using 10.4.6 so they should be pretty new. I searched the forums A LOT but couldn't find anything related. Do you remember anything about that problem? BTW... just tried: This happens with an USB mouse also....

mono45rpm Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 i remember reading that sometimes it happens to powerpc users, and it was not a mouse or usb problem , but an ATI graphic cards issue. The solution was to replace the IOPCIFamily.kext from 10.4.4 , but these days it probably has been fixed. try getting that kext from 10.4.4 or update to 10.4.7... it has always been like that ?

swag01 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I saw this problem too. I have 10.4.6 with an ATI X1600. Did anyone solve this? I did go up to 10.4.7 at one point, but it kept locking up on me at random times. Thanks....

swag01 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ok, I got it to work now. I first replaced the 10.4.7 IOPCIFamily.kext, but it didn't make a difference. Then, replaced 10.4.4 IOPCIFamily.kext and that worked. Hope I don't see other sideffects now. Thanks for the info....

swag01 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Still no perfect solution... I'm seeing other problems with the 10.4.4 IOPCIFamily.kext, so I'm going to try a full 10.4.7 install and see if both issues go away.

pbthias Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 ...what other problems do you have with the 10.4.4 kext?# Anything really bad? Maybe I could try that, too. Also would be could if you could report back how your 10.4.7 installation went... Strange problem, isn't it?

swag01 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The problems I saw were around in a window, it was leaving pieces of the text after I moved the icon. Also, I don't know if this was an issue with 10.4.4, but in Logic, while playing an instrument, the volumn would get moved down to -23. I'm in 10.4.7 now, and everything seems to work, but I've been busy to play with it too much. I know the selection problem did go away though.
