I hope we have some experienced Logic users on RGO.
I never had such a bug and it the most spooky bug I had in 12 years.
Logic worked fine the whole day long everything is alright... nice.
Out of a sudden the metronome stops working in playback mode.
I checked the click preferences for play-back everything was set up like it should be.
Later I found out the click stops working when logic is not playing back any audio.
That is crazy because normally the click works even with no tracks loaded at all.
I faced a core audio problem and did switch to the internal interface.
TADA the click is audible.
I reinstalled all my RME drivers and the firmware but nothing helped.
Any hint is welcome...

Problem solved.
In California at Apple they must have lost their brains.
Or was Steve Jobs the brain?
In El Capitan you cant repair the disk permissions because SIP protects the MacHD from wrong written permissions.
AH AH AH AH something NEW FUCKING NEW.... Silicon Valley NEW:
Ok lets see if this is true.
Disabled SIP.
Used Onyx to repair the permissions which took the 8 core about 3 minutes and...what a cool experience with 4 more new kernels...
Voila the Click works again as it should do.
But hey you do not need to repair permissions El Capitan is save against wrong permissions...
I have to stay cool with the new OSX its far from ready for real world use.
If you can stay as long as you can at any older OSX - do it.

Glad you figured it out. I'm still on Yosemite 10.10. After the last Logic upgrade, I sometimes get a midi sync error, which causes my recording to skip, like a hiccup,or a brief pause.
It ruins takes. Even if I have only one midi track running, like just a simple shaker I use to keep time for tracking, it will still do this sometimes. I need a newer computer.

In Yosemite you still can repair the permissions.... do it. Do a P Ram reset as well and see if this helps. Clean your desktop, erase files and folders on it... too much can cause problems. Upgrade your RAM to the higest level the dam thing eats and buy some SSD drives. I bet that will make your mac running a few years longer. |

Thanks mrholmes. I'm running 16G RAM on a late 2009 iMac with only the intel core 2 duo. I do crowd my desktop with files. Does that really affect Logic? I thought they were just aliases.
I just need to squeeze 6-12 months out of my iMac more before moving up to a new computer. I'll probably get a later model used iMac or a 2012 Mac Mini.

Yupp a crowd desktop affects the performance and also slows down the startup You should clean the desktop and do a P-RAM reset. You also should clean temp files from time to time with Onyx (Freeware) it also can repair the permissions. www.titanium.free.fr/Put in an SSD that will speed up your mac for half the year and can be used in later computers too. If you want to save some cash buy a used Mac Pro Workstation 2007 Quad Core. I just upgraded my 2006 Mac Pro from Dual to 2,66 GHZ Quad Core and 32 GB RAM. Its old but still pretty good in benchmark tests, not too far away from actual quad cores but way cheaper. Did test it with an old mix 80 tracks of audio tons of automation tons of FXs and automation. Only 6 Kernels had to work for about 20% of their power. And I am happy to be freed from freezing. The RAM is dirt cheap many sell used RAM out of servers I got my 32 GB for about 70 Euros. WOHA this one is dirt cheap and has 32 GB on board.... www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Mac-Pro-A1186-2007-2x-3-0GHz-Quad-Core-32GB-750GB-X1900-XT-10-7-Lion-DVDRW-/401133783582?hash=item5d656fca1e:g:vr4AAOSwbYZXWCrx |

Bg thanks mrholmes, I shall investigate.. I imagine an SSD upgrade for your iMac will be more of an undertaking than you want to commit to. Not trivial with that machine. |

Even an external one will be faster as the mechanical inside technology. True is the I mac is bad for later refurbishing or upgrades. I think Martin would have a great deal witg any used Mac Pro tower. Screens and Keyboards are dirt cheap to get at E-bay too. Thanks to the migration tool you just have to wait a few hours and you are back with your old computer in no time, just faster than ever before. Martin if you want to go sure that everything runs fine make on HD with a clean install and only Audio-Tools on it. If you do Audio you only use this one HD, that is the save bet to have no worries at all. |

I think Martin wants to get a new blackface apollo with quad onboard and so will need a thunderbolt computer. I agree that an ssd drive is a good idea ( have 2 in my mbp) but Martin could shop for a used tbolt equipped i7 quad mac mini, much easier to do ssd mod or a used i7 quad mbp. El cap still does a repair disk function in utility but I also use onyx  mac towers are great but not if you wantto run tbolt. |

Yep, thanks for all the great suggestions guys. I do want a thunderbolt computer, and will certainly get a Blackface Apollo at some point. It'll have to wait until the fall, but either a thunderbolt quad iMac or a mac mini will do.

In this case thats true there is no pcie thunderbold expansion card for the mac pro.
I ask myself why intel is not licensing such a card.... may the transferraze of pci is too low?

the Motherboard needs to be designed with a special chip that can handle Thunderbolt connections. If the mobo doesn't have it, your comp can't have TBolt devices.
ThunderBolt IS PCIe. same spec, different connector.
