[SOLVED] Logic 10.5 on mac 10.14.6 Mojave - Loading a new project makes the whole screen black

Just a simple request to open a new project and the whole computer screen goes black. I know it's normal behind that, as I can use the keyboard to command Q and then the touch bar to save or not to save. Once Logic is quit, I see my screen again.

 

Any ideas please?

I watched your video. I don't really understand what you are talking about, both projects looked like they opened and played fine. There was no screen going black at all?

Are you talking about the desktop BEHIND Logic? Are you saying you lose the stuff on your desktop that is hidden by the Logic window?

Ah yes that didn't work, sorry. The video recording software didn't record the black screen. Kind of makes sense. But after I opened another project it makes my computer screen go black.

Are you opening multiple projects at the same time?

No. And I just tried to open iMovie and it's happening on that. So maybe it's not just Logic Pro. You open the application and the whole screen goes black, like it's turned off. But you can work out what is going on behind it from the touchbar buttons but you are completely blind. Can use keyboard shortcuts to quit the app and bring you back to your screen what you were doing before you opened the app. Any help, would be much appreciated.

Computer spec’s? OS version?

Sounds like you may have some problem with your graphics card, maybe.

Ok solved

Shut down your Mac, then turn it on and immediately press and hold these four keys together: Option, Command, P, and R. You can release the keys after about 20 seconds, during which your Mac might appear to restart.

 

Thanks for your help and replying to the thread.

Yes, resetting NVRAM can solve some weird issues with the computer.

Good thing it was just that, thanks for reporting back!
