Logic Express Error Timeout Or Timer Inactive Options

[kactus]

Hello,

I am a bit desperate,

After working with Logic express 7 for almost a month, it crashed one time, when I was updating the system (from 10.3.7 to 10.3.. Now every time I open logic, comes a dialog box saying: "error Timeout or timer inactive, check other application using timer or MIDI (Code 0)", exit as option, and after 2 or 3 times clicking "exit", a final box appears: "Mac OX MIDI services not available". Logic doesn´t obey to the play command, and I check the Audio Midi Setup, and the Midi configuration doesn´t show and when I try to activate it, crashes.

Does anyone has a clue?

Thanks,

[JulienGB]

Get Onyx here and launch Maintenance/System Optimization and reboot. It seems to be linked to the last Security Update from Apple.

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work, I guess is something related with MIDI, because my audio midi setup just crashes every time I try to lauch it.
After been working with OX 10.3 for almost a year and half (and a year with 10.2), I begin to hate it, it is the first situation like this, I remember in the old days of Macos 9.x, I could deal very easy with it, now looks like "Mr. Gates" back,
I dont't know where to turn or what to try.

Best,
Carlos

Try to trash your midi drivers in Library/Audio/Midi Drivers/, unplug all midi devices, re-Onyx & reboot, re-install midi devices drivers, re-plug & reboot.
Some others people were confronted to this already:
here&there
(sorry this is in french)

It's seems you have to keep on trying until it works...
Good luck.

edit: i forgot this one to trash: (User)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist

Hi there,

Everything just runs nice. What I did is just reinstalled the M-Audio 410 drivers, unplug, reboot and MIDI setup just came back like nothing happened, Logic runs smoothly again.

Thank you for your efforts Julien, is always very nice to know that there is someone trying to help. I has a bit of crazy with
all this, thank you again.

All the best,
Carlos

Good.

Those blxxdy M-Audio 410 drivers again... I had them installed too when it happenned to me.
Be careful with them, they're tricky...

Happy time with your Logic !
