I installed the newest SFP update, and I noticed it had "rewire" in it.. In the past I had to remove Melodyne's version of rewire, it locks up Logic.. Logic reads thru plug-ins (AU compenants) and then crashes.. I removed all AU's. Logic flies through boot up then gets hung up on 'updating plugin's.. Fan goes jet status.. After 4 minutes Logic locks up.. Goes red in Activity monitor..
Any other Logic users having same problem
Logic 9.1.7
OSX 10.7.5.
I'm going to google where rewire is stored.. Over the years I've installed it several times in Logic and always had a problem.
Synfire 1.6.6. also gets stuck at 'starting audio layer' and locks up there. Can I uninstall 1.6.6 and go back re=install 1.6.5 = what auxilliary files do I need to delete...
I'm in a time crunch for a project and I've spent 6 hours today, not getting things to work right..

Logic 9 and Synfire 1.6.6 work fine here, from 10.6 through 10.8. There may be something else going wrong?
Synfire does not replace ReWire, if one was found.
ReWire is found under /Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/ReWire. Since 10.7, this folder is hidden. You need to look it up from the Finder menu with Goto.
Try and delete all Cognitone plugins ("CognitoneDrone" VST and AU and "Transport" in the ReWire folder) and reinstall Synfire.

Thanks Supertonic
I did as you suggested got SFP 1.6.6 working again.. Logic is still crashing. Although this is not directly connected to SFP, I'll post it, in case any Logic users, go thru problems.
Sounds strange, but the OS was looking for data from other boot installations I had (3 all together). System wouldn't even boot, till I removed these. Which leaves me a bit frightened to feel so vulnerable.. I'll make a bootable system on an external drive I can leave off when I start up. I still have one extra OSX on a different drive, I boot up with Option key down, and then select the OS I want.. Over the last 2 years, it would occassionally start up weird. like the desktop picture was from one of the other OS's.
At least with SFP working, I feel like I'm 1/3 on my way back to Kansas. I hope I don't fall out of air balloon again..
After reading several conflicting ways to uninstall Logic: I got it uninstalled. First method using terminal had about 40 individual commands, that did not work.. The next was a list of you deleted in OSX.. I broke down and paid the $40 for "Clean My Mac2". Although I had had it as a demo, it was limited in what it would delete.. But when I purchased the activation key, "Clean My Mac" remember all the indiidual files that were attached to the things I had deleted. It's really worth the $40.
Now Logic 9.1.8 is working!. That took almost 3 days out of my life, most perplexing
