If you have both Logic 5.x and Logic 6 installed on OS X, there is a problem when using the on-line help with Logic 6: the system will always direct you to the Logic 5 help! And because the opening pages of the Logic 5 and Logic 6 online help files look the same, you probably won’t notice it until you get deep into the content. <\/p>\n
Another problem arises when you search for a topic (like “autodrop”, for example) and you get two entries: one for Logic 5 and one for Logic 6. The problem is they are both identified as “Logic Platinum Help”. You don’t know which result is for what program. <\/p>\n
Well, this was driving me nuts, so I decided to go and fix it. Here are the steps you have to follow: <\/p>\n
DISCLAIMER: this involves modifying files in the Logic application bundle. This is pretty safe if you know what you are doing, but I imagine Emagic\/Apple would STRONGLY urge you against doing this. You backup of your Logic files before doing this. But then, you should backup your Logic files anyway :) <\/p>\n

Change it to: and save. <\/p>\n 6. Back in the Finder, double-click Resources and then whatever language you view your help in. I opened “English.lproj”. Now when you click on help, you’ll always be directed to Logic 6’s help page. In addition, if you open up the help library or search for a keyword, the files that belong to Logic 6’s help will be clearly identified as “Logic 6 Platinum Help”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34224,34223],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
2. Ctrl-click on the Logic 6 app icon (on my system it is called “Logic Platinum 6.0.0”) and select “Show package contents” from the menu.
3. Double-click on “Contents”
4. Open Info.plist in your favorite text editor. You will have to drag-and-drop it on the editor as you cannot navigate to this file using the standard File->Open… dialog.
5. Towards the bottom of the file, you’ll see this block of text:

7. Rename the folder “Logic Platinum Help” to “Logic 6 Platinum Help”, then double-click on it.
8. Rename “Logic Platinum Help idx” to “Logic 6 Platinum Help idx”. Rename “Logic Platinum Help.htm” to “Logic 6 Platinum Help.htm”
9. Open “Logic 6 Platinum Help.htm” in your favorite text editor. Change the line to
