What Bill said plus:

A couple of years ago I had the luxury of a PC and a Mac, I could
sometimes fix a spooked song by importing from PC to mac then back
again or vice versa. It's worth trying if you have access to a friend
with the other platform, or if you are on Logic 6, try exporting down
to 4.8 then back again. Otherwise it's the old copy and paste the
tracks to a fresh song I think
