Just upgraded to Logic studio from Logic Pro 7 Some Tips

Hi All
Just sharing some of my tips.
Tip1: If you have an "academic" version, it could be the "retail" version. I purchased the academic version 4 years ago. To my surprise, I discovered it's the full version, the apple store just put an academic sticker on the shrink wrap. The "obvious" signs: XSKey has retail on it. When loading there's no academic version on the title. The box has a barcode sticker that says retail.
Tip 2: When upgrading to Logic Studio. The install discs are full installs. What did this mean to me. Well I have a G5 iMac and intel MacBook. Logic Pro 7.2 was the first "universal version". One would assume you would have to upgrade to 7.2 (which has been discontinued) for the MacBook, then upgrade to Studio. Not the case. All you need is the XSKey plugged into the MacBook and install the Logic Studio (upgrade). Type in the serial code and your away. All my MacBook had installed was Leopard 10.5.
Hopefully these tips help people some people out.

Peace. . . .

  • How do I upgrade to Logic Pro from Logic Express?

    When I decided to dump ProTools and go with Logic, it was easy because Express was pretty cheap and there was always an upgrade path to Logic Studio. Now it's version 9 and I don't see an option to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 from Logic Express 9. Can you guys help me out here?

    Based on the replies in the Logic Express forums, it looks like I'll just have to suck it up until Logic 10 comes out. 
    I think I would feel totally hosed if it weren't for the fact that I recently got Komplete 8 Ultimate, so I don't really care for the Logic synths. 

  • I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC  and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) .  Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

    The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

  • Will upgrading to osx mountain lion upgrade my Logic Pro 9.1.6 to 9.1.7?

    I wanna know if upgrading m computer to osx mountain lion will upgrade my Logic Pro to it's current update to 9.1.7.
    I wanna upgrade to the new osx im worried if it will update all my software as well

    First, you can (and should) always back up your copy of Logic before updating, that way you can always go back to the earlier version if you need it.  If you do that you might as well update to the latest version of Logic.
    Going to 10.8 won't update Logic, but you'd probably want to update Logic (and most other apps) to the newest versions if you do a major OS update like that.

  • I've just migrated my Logic Pro 9.1.8 to a new Mac because my old computer crashed. They are asking for a serial number, but I don't have the install disks anymore. Is there someplace in the software itself that I can find the serial number?

  • HT1338 I am a student, and I purchased Logic Pro 9 nine or ten months ago, can I download a free upgrade to Logic Pro X?

    Hi,
    I am a student, and I purchased Logic Pro 9 nine or ten months ago, can I download a free upgrade to Logic Pro X? It seems I should be able to.
    If not, how much would it cost me? Does anybody know?
    Thank you,
    Michael McCarty

    Thank you QTKirk... do you happen to know if Apple has a student discount for Logic Pro X? It seems to me I received one on Logic Pro 9... Getting old, could be wrong about that.

  • If y have logic pro 9, why i don't can upgrade to logic pro x ?

    You can, for $199 - which is cheaper than all the previous updates.

    Hola, entra en BIOS y mirate como tienes las opciones de boot, es posible que tengas en primer lugar la opcion de arranque desde tarjeta de red, algo similar a "Boot to Network".
    Repasa igualmente por si acaso la opcion "Wake on Lan" en el caso la traiga la BIOS, si la tienes debe estar desactivada (disable), aunque no es relevante en este caso, no esta de mas que lo compruebes.
    Comentanos.

  • HT1444 How do I upgrade my Logic Pro to Logic Pro X ?

    How do I upgrade my Logic Pro to Logic Pro X ?

    If you bought it on the Mac App Store there are terms and information on how to contact Apple.  Though I know few companies where a purchase 5-6+ months prior to a new release qualifies for a "free upgrade," but you're always welcome to try.

  • I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt. When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.

    I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt.  When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.0 get an error message.   I installed the camera raw update 4.2 but that didn't work.  Any suggestions. 

    Hi,
    Elements version 5 was made obsolete by Elements 6 back in 2007.  The T3i was only released 2-3 years ago.  Adobe was up to Elements version 9 or 10 by then.  Every camera has its own particular camera raw software, and Adobe has to write an update for the software to work with each new camera's RAW files.  And Adobe stops updating the old versions to work with new cameras when the next version of Elements/Lightroom come out. 
    I had to buy Lightroom 4 only 6 months after I had bought Lightroom 3 when I bought a new camera.  The older version would not, and never will, work with the RAW files from my 6D. 
    You could, I believe, use DPP to convert the RAW files before exporting them into Elements 5, but personally I would just take this as a cue that it is time to get Elements 11.  Or Lightroom 5.  I personally prefer Lightroom.

  • I just upgraded an old Imac from Leopard to Snow Leopard, now it won't work

    I just upgraded my 2003 imac from leopard to snow leopard and after restart all I get is a blue screen.  Nothing happens.  How can I get back to the old leopard.  I use this computer for research just because of the 23'' screen.  Help

    I'm sure that a 2003 machine is incapable of accepting Snow Leopard.   Have you checked the specs to see if it is ...
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
    In particular, check the amount of RAM you have.
    You could contact Apple through your National Apple store with the serial number of your machine to see if they can provide a replacement DVD ... but I doubt they can.

  • Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change.

    Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change. (Mac OS X 10.7.5)

    Did you migrate the app from Time Machine? Reinstall it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    The reference to NovaMedia is that there is the remanant of an older app in there somewhere that won't run on 10.7

    If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    *Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    *Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

  • I just upgraded my older G5 from tiger to leopard and it is now at 10.5.8, I was unaware that the new system did not support the classic envoirnment and cannot access my 6.0 version of Photoshop, which I use often...how do I get P.S. going again?

    Niel...
    I installed Leopard 10.5.6 and then it upgraded to 10.5.8, when I installed it I had the old info saved to a "previous systems" folder, where most of my artwork, etc. were saved, I have a one terabyte Lacie backup that unfortunately did not work as it was intended...it saved the new info and not the old. I did look into the system preferences folder and found the classic file, of course it wouldn't launch...but I have the old G 5 startup discs and will try to do it as you stated. I will try also to move it out of the previous folders file to my hard drive and see how that works.
    thank you for your time and help,
