Which one, the first one or the second one? There are two projects in that topic.
it also doesn't work following youtube tutorials.
I'm not sure I understand what this means. Are you saying that Magic isn't working at all for you? What kind of computer do you have?

The first one.
It does play audio files.
It does not show image or take audio input from my soundcard or internal audio device.
i'm working on a mac with lion and my sound card is an m-audio.

When i open the downloaded project a message saying "crt module could not be loaded" appears. idk if this helps to solve the problem

Assuming that Magic is generally working properly, and only this project has a problem, then I'd say it's probably too complex for your computer. If you are running Lion, which is very old now, then I can only guess you have an old computer. Sometimes old computers just can't handle the memory/processing requirements of complex projects.

You would only get that message on the second one, not the first one....?

It and old mac, yes, but memory it's upgraded to it's limit which is 4 gb.
i can not even get static image by Add>media>image. I also get no response while trying to get audio input because i wanted to hook up my synths.
is there a way i can get an older version of magic so i can see if it's working with my computer?

The memory doesn't matter too much. The problem is mostly coming from the graphics card.

Older versions of Magic wouldn't run any better, in fact they would probably be worse ;).
