Logic Pro X 10.7.9 visual glitches and launch issues on Macbook Pro

Hi!

I just started experiencing this issue today.

Out of the blue, my Logic Pro X started to glitch visually while the sound keeps going. The screen only refreshes when I click the scren and only during that instant.


additional to that, my app is not launching correctly anymore. Once I click on it to open it, it bounces a couple of times, and then I see the small grey dot under the icon, but nothing happens. It only succesfully launches a project when I either a. Open a new project from the top bar menu, or b. Open an existing project from my Logic folder in Finder. Nothing else.


I’ve been searching all around and so far I’ve only found a thread from 2013 on Logic Pro Help that was solved by updating their Logic version.

Unfortunately I cannot update since I am working on a 2015 Macbook Pro.


Does anybody have any idea of how to work through this? Thank you so much in advance for any response!

Hi,

Can you go to the Logic Pro Settings (used to be called Preferences) and change the "Startup Action". Make sure it says "Ask". It looks like this (see below). Now, every time you open up Logic, a window will pop up asking you what you want to do.

Lastly, try unplugging/reconnecting your HDMI cable to make sure things are connected correctly.


Hope that helps,

Hi! Thanks for your response. Sadly, there's no change. When I open Logic (re-installed the app for the fifth time this morning) I don't get the usual small pop-up that used to appear with Logic's logo and the trademark and all. And also, the visual glitch I was talking about is still there. Is there any possibility to downgrade Logic pro X version? Maybe it could be related to this version. (I'm using version 10.7.9).


Just installed GarageBand and it is working properly, contrary to Logi Pro X.
