Installing Logic 8 on OS X Lion to use Logic 9 upgrade disk
Hi all,
I'm currently about to upgrade my version of Logic to Logic Studio 9 from Logic Studio 8 as my girlfriend decided to upgrade to Lion without telling me!
Obviously, I want to buy the upgrade version for £166 instead of the full version for £417. However, I'm going to be getting a MacBook Pro in amonth or so which will inevitably come with Lion on it.
My question is, will I be able to install Logic Studio 8 on to my new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion in order for me to use the Logic Studio 9 upgrade disk? If not is there anyway around this? I feel like I should be eligible to migrate to a new system and still only pay the upgrade price for Logic Studio 9, otherwise it's taking £250 of the amount I can spend on a MacBook Pro, which seems a bit harsh!
Do I even need to install Logic Studio 8 on there first, I'm only guessing I do as otherwise why wouldn't everyone by the upgrade disk instead?
Thanks for your time,
Rich
Do I even need to install Logic Studio 8 on there first, I'm only guessing I do as otherwise why wouldn't everyone by the upgrade disk instead?
Blueberry's right. But to answer this question specifically: the disks that come with the Logic upgrade are identical to the disks that come with the Logic full version. The difference is the serial number. When you buy the upgrade and install it, and put in the serial number you got with the upgrade, the installer knows it's an upgrade serial number and asks for your Logic 8 serial to verify that you own Logic 8. Only after you put that in can you proceed with the install. You don't need Logic 8 installed - you don't even need the disks or anything - you just need your Logic 8 serial number to prove you own Logic 8. Only people who own a previous version of Logic 8 will have a qualifying serial number - that's why not everyone can do it.

Can i install windows 8.1 on my mac using an oem disk ?
I just bought a windows 8.1 SL OEM disk, i want to install it on my MAC, someone please help me with it
To use bootcamp 5.1 assistant you need an ios file of windows and not a disk.
You can technically get around this by clean installing OSX (you will need to also create two separate partitions;a windows and OSX partition,with the disk utility before installing OSX).
After that you can put the windows disk into the disk drive then reboot making sure to hold the alt key during boot. Then select the "EFI"option on the boot section screen that appears; after holding alt.
Now follow the windows set up instructions.
After installing windows reboot back into OSX and reopen the bootcamp assistant and "download the latest support software" as you will need that to install the drivers in windows. -
I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I'm trying to create a Windows partition. I have Windows Vista Ultimate, but apparently my computer can only support Windows 7 (I've tried everything to get drivers to work on Vista.) My question is, can I buy the $29.99 Windows 7 (shown here http://www.microsoft.com/student/en/us/windows/buynow/default.aspx) and upgrade my Vista, even though none of the drivers work? I can't afford to buy a full version of Windows 7, so I'm trying to work around it as best I can. Thanks so much for your help!

I am keep getting this error "The disk is used for Time Machine Backup" when installing the new OSX Mountain Lion" when doing the upgrade to newly OS.
The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing. -

Can I run Logic 9 with 32 bit support alongside Logic X on the same Mavericks computer?
Hello friends,
I am upgrading from Snow Leopard and Logic 8 to Mavericks and Logic X. It's my understanding that Logic 8 doesn't play nice with Mavericks, but I heard that the latest version of Logic 9 does. I never used Logic 9 before, but it is my understanding that you could run Logic 9 in 32-bit mode and it should be compatible with all Logic 8 projects. Is this true on Mavericks? I am on the verge of setting up multiple partitions, one for Logic 8 on 10.6 and the other for Logic X on 10.9, but if I could launch logic 9 with 32 bit support on mavericks when I needed access to my 32 bit reliant projects, that would certainly be better!
Would both versions of Logic work on the same system together in the way that as I hope? Obviously, I wouldn't need them both open at the same time, but I didn't know if one would work correctly after installing the other, etc.
Thanks very much! Upgrading can be a hassle with consideration to legacy projects! This would just be one step for me; it's a whole other question as to whether or not I could get the fxpansion vst wrapper working in Logic 9 on mavericks (surprisingly, it seemed to work with Logic 8 on mavericks, but the black curtain of Logic 8 almost makes it unusable).
Thanks very much!Thanks everyone! I was afraid that I was going to have as much trouble as I did migrating from Logic 4 to Logic 7 (yeesh, what a mess that was).
Blueberry, are you warning about literally running both Logic 8 and Logic X simultaneously? Because I don't imagine I would do that. Could their be adverse consequences of merely having both installed?
It is my hope that I can gracefully migrate away from Logic 8/9 altogether, but the OCD in me needs to have adequate access to legacy projects in a pinch.
Thanks again! -
Installing new HDD after Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrade on my T400
A few weeks ago I did a clean install to upgrade my T400 laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7 Professional, using the upgrade version of Windows 7 (vs. the complete new installation version - saved about $100.00).
Now I want to upgrade my HDD from 250GB to 500GB. I purchased the HDD from Lenovo, expecting the drive to come with some guidance for the upgrade other than how to physically replace the drive. Unfortunately, no such help found.
I have researched this and I think I have a few options. I could 1) clone my current hard drive or 2) do a clean reinstall on the new drive.
While looking over Microsoft's knowledge base I came a cross an article that said that I couldn't use the Windows 7 upgrade disk on a new hard drive. The article said I would first have to recover the original Windows XP OS onto my laptop, and then use the upgrade disk. Is that right? Do I really have to start over (upgrading to Windows 7 was a bear)?
If I clone my hard drive (I have the necessary hardware & software) will the upgraded Windows 7 be operable on the new hard drive?
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.You should be fine with cloning the drive. Microsoft normally limits the "upgrade" to only installing over an already existing Windows or a drive with Windows on it. So yes, it is not going to install on a bare drive for you.
As long as the clone aligns the partition properly, if necessary, then the cloned drive should operate fine. I cloned my initial HDD when upgrading to an SSD. Windows might require you to re-verify the machine because of the hardware change. However, changing only one component is not supposed to trigger the verification process. Once you know that it is working properly, you Windows license probably requires you to delete it from the old drive.

Hello,i have a retina with Mountain Lion.I have logic PRO 7 and logic Pro 8 ,with G5.I can't use the CD with the retina!!It's not a powerpC!!How do i install Logic Studio 8 with Mountain Lion successfully ?too évolution Logic PRO 9?
The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion. Use the program Pacifist to install it.

Is there anyone out there who is having the same problem.

Thanks ... for posting a method that works.
UPDATE:
The photo posted above is Logic Pro 8 running in Snow Leopard virtualized in Parallels 7 in Lion.
I just attempted to install it into the Lion Macintosh HD from running the Logic Installer in Snow Leopard virtualized. The Installer application does NOT see the Lion Macintosh HD in its Select a Destination window. More work needs to be done for this approach to work...
Any ideas?
In the meantime, someone will have to work out an installation method using Pacifist (as CCTM suggests above), similar to this approach to installing GarageBand Jam Packs into Lion (which installer also requires Rosetta):

1,1 running Lion with XP Boot (re-install and what should i use for recovery disk or usb stick)?
i am trying to give my 1,1 mac pro a little love and would like to keep this machine running lion. i also have a boot camp installation of XP on it.
1. can anyone give me instructions on how/whether i can basically do a fresh install of Lion on this machine and minimize the system so it is not cluttered up with all my previous software etc, etc while still maintaining the original XP boot camp partition which i really need to have?
2. can anyone clarify for me what i should have on hand /if/ i need to boot into recovery mode or some other safe boot mode? i recently ran into an issue where i may have had to use the old Disk Utility format function and there was a reference to booting using the DVD install disks. however i am really confused as to what i should have on hand. ALSO the last time i had to do something on this machine i was told to boot into the Recovery Partition and it appears for some reason (perhaps because i had a "non-standard" windows 7 boot camp installation on the drive at the time??) that there was no recovery partition created when i upgraded to Lion.
- /anyway/ i am finding that i have the two ORIGINAL install disks for the mac pro on hand, a Max OS X Leopard and a mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD on hand but i am thinking that i should be creating some kind of USB stick similar to the one i created with yosemite? actually, i am not even sure what this USB stick for yosemite is for but i guess i can use it to boot into safe mode or something?
THANKS for any help as i'd like to get this business under control a little better in case i have an issue.
i'd also like to install Lion so that there is a Recovery Partition if possible and i think this may be possible if i don't have the windows 7 partition in the machine when i do a fresh install. any help would be great. thanks.You have to go out of your way to build the Installer Disk yourself. But this tool makes it easy, and this site contains instructions:
http://diskmakerx.com
the bootable installer is basically to re-install the OS if i have to
Yes.
the recovery partition is somehow for fixing a problem
Recovery can go and get you the software and re-download it and start the Install, and allows the use of Disk Utility and can reset passwords.
or is there some overlap?
Yes. Both give you access to the Utilities that used to be on the Installer DVD. Disk Utility to Repair or initialize and a few other tools that can allow you to set up to install on an otherwise-bare disk or change your password.
is "Safe Mode" something completely different
Safe Mode is a way to start the fully-Installed Operating System in a special way. It first does one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk) against the Boot Drive. [Normally this would require booting from a different drive to make repairs.] Then it loads a minimal set of Apple-only kernel extensions, and uses a one-size-fits-all screen resolution. Then it demands your Username and password to proceed.
From there you can fix settings, use the Finder to add or delete things, and check operation with minimal extensions versus all your daily-use extensions. Very helpful for debugging extension conflicts and graphics settings problems, and fixing damaged settings. The next Restart builds a new extensions cache. -
i am trying to use logic pro 9 on my lion system and it continues to say I have a bad midi...when i go to check my midi drivers folders in my library its empty...does anyone know whats going on?
I
got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

After downloading ,completing the lic agreement phase, the next step is where to install and automatically' MAC HD with 904 gb available this disk is used for time machine backups' is shown and installation is blocked .
Any body got any idea what to do next ?Time machine needs its own partition to operate. So you are not going install a OSx Lion on that volume.
If there is enough room you may be able to partition the drive on the fly with DiskUtility
Are you saying you clean installed Lion and you are trying to move your user Data over with TM via the migration Assistant? Please explain. -

Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?yes;
I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers. -
Hi, Im experiencing multiple crashes on my macbook pro. I have recently (past 2 weeks) installed yosemite. Could this have something to do with it?
I use logic pro 9 all day every day but am finding it very difficult to record with a constantly unstable mac! It just cuts out and restarts itself.
Any ideas?

Mike, I would say Yosemite has -everything- to do with it. Logic 9 has several known problems with Yosemite.
You should not upgrade the OS without first checking boards like this one, the only solution for Logic 9 users is to roll back the operating system to whatever you were using that was stable. (Logic-X isn't so great in Yosemite either).
Because stability is important to me I'm using Snow Leopard and Logic 9,1,5, and my upgrade to Logic 9.1,5 was only a few month ago.
