Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I created a user on my Mac (running Lion) just for music and Logic - and gave this user full admin priveldges. Then in Logic when I go to bounce a song down to one of the internal hard drives it won't allow it, nor saving to that disk. I have never had any such problem before when I had a dedicated system with a single user runing logic. I called Apple support and they claim that if I make the user an admin that it should have all the rights of top level user - but it doesn't for some reason. Anyone have any ideas?

By the way, that guy who posted the spam is now banned.

I did that separate music log in thing for awhile a few years ago, and it turned out to be a real hassle. My plan was to keep an "audio workshop" log in separate, and not let that log in be interfered with by the web. But because of the way Native Instruments and a couple of other companies want to install and monitor things (ex. NI's Service Center), I ran into repeated headaches in terms of plug ins, samples and being able to access things.

In the end I went back to having a single log in that was the main user and stayed with the web. For me, at least, that worked out better.

I had a problem with permissions when I clean installed Snow Leopard on
my Mac Pro.

 

Despite using the same user name and password on re-installed system
disk, I could not write to the disks in the other bays. 

 

What worked for me was to change the top level permissions on the drives
manually. From memory, that was via get info on the top-level folders,
adding the user, changing permissions to read/write and then (from a
menu below) applying the change to all sub-files and folders. 

 

From then, I could see and write to the drives. It was pretty stressful,
though, and I found the advice from Apple support a bit hit-and-miss. I
eventually spoke to a very knowledgeable store genius whose advice
(above) worked well.

 

Regards,

Mike

Thanks. Yeah that sounds like a good idea.

Have you updated Lion with the latest Service pack released in teh last couple of days..  There are a few bug fixed in there that might help you?

I've never had your exact situation, but isn't it true that even though you may have multiple users with admin privileges, there is only one owner to each drive/folder/location on your mac?  Have you checked the info panel for the drive and nested folders to make sure that your Logic user account has access?  I also don't have Lion, so my SnowLeopard experience may be irrelevant, but I had terrible problems with saving a variety of documents for a while after creating a new user account as a troubleshooting step, and had to use the excellent and free BatChmod app to gain permission to all the locations that were still owned by my previous user account.

Good luck.
