undo suddenly unavailable Logic Pro X 10.5

I am suddenly unable to undo in Logic Pro X version 10.5!! I've just accidentally dragged a guitar track onto the drum track and not only is everything out of sync, the f'ing drum track it was dragged over is now gone. This is completely unacceptable for a 'Pro' software and has completely screwed this project and I'm on a timeline. (Please refrain from "should've done"s and other useless, unhelpful comments.) I am not a new user, have used macs since 1997, and have never seen undo not available in even the most basic of programs.

If someone has a pro solution, please advise. Apple, I expect a response.

This is a user forum. Apple is not here.

I've never heard of a case that Undo is unavailable, unless the Undo Steps requested are higher than those saved.

• You could go to File > Revert To ... and look for auto-backup versions.

For the future

• Increase the number of Undo steps: Logic Pro > Preferences > General > Editing > Number Of Undo Steps...

• Increase the number of Auto Backups: Logic Pro > Preferences > General > Project Handling > Auto Backup ...

Thank you for your response. (There seemed be a significant delay in me seeing it) Your input and advice is good, however, this was some sort of bug. I was only requesting one level of undo and there were no options. I adjusted settings as above, tried everything, but nothing. I ended up having to piece things back together by hand and re-record bits. A rather sucky situation to be in and there's nothing I could do about it. I just need to back up frequently and pray the "bug" doesn't return.

As far as Apple being here - I only mentioned that because I had just finished reading a response from someone on the forum that claimed they were from Apple and wanted to help resolve that issue, so I just assumed they watched these things. Must have been a one-off.

Thanks again for responding; it's helpful even if it doesn't fix the issue. It's good to know that people read and respond to these.

Also check your undo history. Sometimes the problem is caused by poorly written plug-ins where every automation step or controller movement, including pitch bend or modulation wheel, is recorded in the undo history, causing other important steps to be deleted.
