Problem Upgrading Logic Studio to 9.1.1 From 9.0.2

I was on Snow Leopard with Logic Pro with version 9.0.2. I upgraded to Lion (big regrets but that's whole different story) bottom line is that version 9.0.2 no longer runs. I get a pop-up window that says "You Can't Use this Version...".  Not a big one, so I go ahead and download the latest Logic Pro 9.1.1 and try to install. But It won't install. It says "Your Computer Does Not Need This Upgrade".  I don't know what to do next. Is there a resource file that I need to trash  or what would you suggest? 
Thanks!

Got it.  Found similar postings with the solution. I'll re-stated it just to save anyone running into this post a bit of search time.
1. Go to the Application folder. Find the Logic Pro application and edit the application name. Get rid of the numbers and spaces if any.  Just leave it as Logic Pro.
2. Re-attempt to install 9.1.1 this time it worked for me -well, sort of. It turns out that 9.1.1 is also no compatible with Lion.
3. Launch the Software Update application and updgrade to the latest version. For me it was 9.1.5.
All seems well.
Thanks.

  • Problem updating Logic Studio

    Hey there all,
    I have been having a problem updating Logic Studio 9. My purchased version is 9.0 (full, not upgrade) and I tried to update to 9.1 a while ago. When I did it, I got this very strange error message that said there was a system error of some sort. This of course sent me in to a panic, however my system itself seems to be stable, so I can only assume this is a problem with the updated software.
    Eventually, I deleted the updated software (which left 9.0 on my system), and since then (this was a WHILE ago), I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to do to be able to update the software. I can't tell you how many times I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and re-uninstalled the original disks. I just can't get the software updater to recognize that I uninstalled 9.1 so that I can re-download the software update. And for god know what reason, I am not able to connect to the downloads server to get the upgrade.
    Can anyone tell me where/how/if I can fix this?? Logic 9.0 keeps crapping out on me. I'd like to have access to my songs, etc.

    hi, Colpanique.
    A couple of ideas. Is your OS up to date? Are you running SL? It's better for LP9 than Leopard. Is LP9 registered?
    Software updates sometimes have a proapp u/date. This is for Logic/final cut etc. If they aren't on your system, the later LP u/date might not install.
    Another reason why LP 9 caps out is ram. I have LP8, and I know 9 requires more ram. 1G is at the low end, and might be insufficient for the OS and LP9. Run out of ram and the app will crash. This true if you load samples or drums etc,
    If LP 9 isn't registered, the apple server won't let you get 9.1. I tried, as I wanted to go from 8 to 9 and bypass the bugs in LP 9.0. 9.1 is more stable.
    Anyway, hope thsi is of some help. Good Luck. Scorpii Pirates.

  • Guitar Rig/ Rig Kontrol problems in Logic Studio

    I have recently upgraded from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. I never had any problems until the upgrade but now my Rig Kontrol 2 refuses to work claiming...
    "The device 'RigKontrol2' could not be set up by the driver. This can be caused by bad USB connections or insufficient power on the bus."
    I am using a USB direct from the back of the mac (and tried new leads) and have updated the drivers to the very latest version but nothing is working. I can still see Guitar Rig as an option amongst my inserts but as soon as I plug in the RigKontrol then ALL of my inserts blank out and no sound is output at all.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Many thanks Nick.

    My only idea (and this comes from being an owner of Guitar Rig 2 w/ the Rig Kontrol for ALMOST two years now) is that the Rig Kontrol is a faulty piece of equipment. . . period. I regret purchasing it more than any purchase I've probably ever made. It was so faulty w/ Logic 7 and Pro Tools that I was like, screw this, and put it away in a closet and have never touched it since. The GT2 software is FANTASTIC. . . don't get my wrong, I love my Guitar Rig software, but the Rig Kontrol is a piece. NI's support for it is pretty poor too. It's probably just some kind of issue between Logic 8 and Rig Kontrol, however, try going into Audio/MIDI setup and getting it to recognize through there.
    My advice would be to just ditch the Rig Kontrol.

  • Delete Logic Studio 8 after upgrade to 9?

    I just upgraded Logic Studio 8 to 9. When I now look in my Applications folder, I see:
    Logic Node 8.app
    Logic Node.app
    Logic Pro 8.app
    Logic Pro.app
    Also:
    MainStage1.app
    MainStage.app
    Should I have uninstalled 8 prior to installing 9? I want things as cleaned up as possible.
    Thanks.

    As we say here 'The only one thing for sure is Copernicus's death'. You can of course delete the L8 related apps to make room on your disk with no harm to your installs, but... If you encounter problems with older projects behaving oddly with l9, don't blame us. Leaving the apps will do no harm or problem, as Mike said. I found that autofilter sounds different in one project opened in L9 and L8 for comparison. For now, that's the only issue I encountered. If I were you I would have deleted something else instead. For example look in your mail folder and clean it up (don't forget to rebuild mailboxes afterwards). Mine oscilates by 1GB but when I find some time I bet it can be reduced by half.

  • How can A new Logic Studio (9.1.1) not be compatible with Lion?!

    ***! first Lion makes my 11 Rack's software inopperable, and now I finally got Logic Studio and it says I can't use Logic Pro because it's version 9.1.1. I was already having trouble, and after an our with apple phone support and a few more installing the software it says the install was a success, but then underneath it reads an error occurred and it failed. I never realized how confusing (and confused) Apple can be. Why have an app on a DAW called Compressor, yet having nothing to do with actual audio compressors, What the **** is it ?!! Is it a Logic Studio or a Logic Pro?!! The box only says Studio, what version depends on how knowledgible the salesperson is.There's no way to tell otherwise except by the price. So why then does the app say Logic Pro, which by the way, is the only app (apparently) outdated. All the other apps of the Logic Studio suite bundle have no problems being openend. But as if this isn't confusing enough, check this out:
           I barely had my brand spankin' new MacBook Pro (15') three months, and it never let me down, even when some supposed tech suggests I take it in for a look because of their personal lack of resourcefulness. In other words, if they can't figure it out then it must be my computer. This has happened to me atleast five times already on seperate occasions, and how many of those times was it actually necessary - count 'em - ZERO! It took me a few seconds to figure it out myself after hanging up, and this is my first computer. But I'm getting off course, let me reiterate:
          It says on page 11 of the installation manual "Important:Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5...will be deselected if Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system" (due to incompatibility issues - what else is new). So my first mistake was calling Apple support, and incidentally, even though I payed extra for a three year support contract at the time of my purchasing my Mac, Logic Studio is only covered for 90 days (I wonder why). I called because of all the items checked for installation, Compressor was grayed out. Turns out that the apps in question don't get along with the iLife '11 Suite, WHAT!!! Avid (Pro Tools, Eleven Rack, etc.) and Apple is one thing. They're competitors, so I wouldn't be surprised the sudden incompatibiliy issues with Lion and 11 Rack was no accident (just like M-Audio's Axiom Pro, also owned by Avid, working best with Pro tools is niether a coincidence) but now I feel I'm giving their resourcefulness too much credit, because now I stand dumbfounded at how a flag-ship Apple product has discrepencies with another flag ship Apple product...wait, what? Did they forget when comprising the new Lion OS, that they were also a leader in Audio Software?
          Anyway, I was sent an email with these directions: 1. From the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
                                                                                    2. Open the Terminal application from the Utilities folder.
                                                                                     3. Enter the following case-sensative command exactly as it appears:
                                                                                        sudo pkgutil --forget con.apple.pkg.AppleintermediateCodec
                                                                                    4. Enter an administrative password when prompted.
                                                                                    5. Install compressor from the Logic Studio installer.
                                                                                     6. From the Apple menu choose Software Update.
                                                                                     7. Install any available updates.
        Anyway we never made it past #4. The prompt by the way (omitted in the diections) is a solid standing rectangle at the end, as opposed to an empty one, but we're just supposed to magically know this is the prompt. I start typing (after being told to press return - also omitted above) and no letters transpire. The tech then suggests we try it again, even though I followed his suggestion of copy & pasting. We did, same thing, so he then suggests he needs to view my computer, as if I was the one malfunctioning. But that was another issue altogether (which I care not to repeat), and eventually he just gave up and suggested I speak to a "higher-up" specialist, but not before he admitted there was something he overlooked and that he's sorry, this after wasting over an hour of my time, and also after - now get this - he suggested I take my machine in since it would be easier, yea, easier for him, how about the time & effort already wasted.
        This new tech says, that the password is not supposed to show when I type it in, What?! Now this is the real kicker, this time it did appear. So really all they were doing was creating even more unexplainable anomolies. We presumed it did the trick, even though "Compressor" was still grayed out in the list. He told me why, which I didn't care to understand, and as long as it says install next to it that I'll be ok. I then told him, this is exactly how it looked before I even made the call in the first place (hence why I said that was my first mistake), but he was right since Compressor well and present, however *** is up with Logic Pro! Please, anybody, save me from having to call Apple Support again (not that it helps) these are geeks not musicians.

    Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
         By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

  • Different versions of logic studio?

    Hi people! It's my first time posting here.
    I have a question to ask. You see, I bought the logic express just before the logic pro standalone version was released and I feel like I had been sucker punched hard in the guts. I'm looking to upgrade my logic express from the prev apple offerings of upgrading to logic studio. I've looked at eBay and amazon for the upgradable logic studio but I'm seeing logic studio v2.0 and logic studio
    http://www.amazon.com/Logic-Studio-Upgrade-Express-Version/dp/B002IT1QFE/ref=sr_ 1_4?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1343278880&sr=1-4&keywords=Logic+studio
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Apple-Logic-Studio-v2-0-Upgrade-Logic-Express- Big-Box-/320948301161?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item4aba026d69#ht_6616wt_922
    My question is which is the latest version offered before the standalone logic pro was announced? Or is there even such thing as an apple logic studio 2? I've compared the specs and both seemed to be offering the same specs and etc.
    Anyone has got any other idea for upgrading logic express to the latest studio?
    Thanks !

    Anyone?

  • Problems upgrading from Logic 6.4 to Logic Studio

    I recently had my hard drive die, so i am now in the process of reloading all my software.  I started with Logic 6.4 years ago and have been purchasing the upgrades ever since. I first installed Logic 6.4 with the dongle inserted than i installed Logic studio. I than updated the software.  However, now Logic will not open. I get the prompt;
    "Upgrading from Logic 6.4 to Logic Studio running 10.6.7 2.66 i7 17 inch running  problem. After install Logic will not open. Updated all the software. On a Macbook Pro"
    Is there something i'm doing wrong.
    thanks for any help.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7. Doing this costs money; you may find it easier and cheaper to upgrade to Yosemite, which is free.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Need to make space in my Hard drive to install Logic Studio Upgrade

    ok. Here's my problem:
    I have a 1st generation Mac Book Pro. That means 100Gb of storage.
    I've been using it for professional audio recording since then with Logic Pro (6 or 7 I think) and I made necessary upgrades when they were available in both Mac book and Logic. So, now my Mac has 2.16 GHz processor, 2GB memory RAM and is running Mac OS X 10.6.3
    When it comes to Logic, I am in Logic 8, trying to make the last upgrade of Logic Studio but looks like there's no more space available on my laptop. At this point, I moved any other data that I don't need. My Hard drive is almost full of a data that most of it supposedly needs to be replaced or skipped. I'm talking about additional content of audio coming on Jam Pack, etc... The installation program allow me to put some of the data in other hard drives (about 22.68 GB) but still is not enough.
    Is there any way to solve this? May be uninstalling programs and data that later will be installed again with my upgrade? I don't want to make a mess before asking.
    Probably is time to get a new computer. If this is the only option please somebody tell me! but if is not, I refuse to spend the money. My laptop is working fine...
    Thank you
    Fran

    Well, first i would decide what you need the computer for. If you use iPhoto and iTunes, maybe moving the libraries to external HD may free up a significant amount of HD space.
    Also, look for apps you don't need anymore, look for ancient data that can be zipped&archived away. That's a lot of work, but is worth the time, because you get to know what really is on your HD. I have so many small apps&tools lying around on my HD clogging space, but in fact i only used them once or twice in a lifetime, so better delete them.
    BTW: Make sure you have enough space on your HD not only to install Logic studio but have some extra GB's for the OS to shuffle data around. No OS likes a full HD.
    My strong suggestion would to give your Macbook to a trustworthy Mac store where they install a bigger HD and copy everything over to the new one.

  • Installing Soundtrack 3 / Logic Studio Problems.

    I just upgraded Logic, from 9 to Studio. When I installed the package, Compressor was 'greyed' out. Soundtrack Pro 3 won't work without it, so I bought Compressor from the App store. Now I have Compressor installed but Soundtrack 3 still doesn't work. Re-installed but no success. Any suggestions and solutions would be most appreciated as I REALLY need Soundtrack Pro 3 for the project I am working on. Thanks!

    You need to contact Apple support and explain the situation accurately and carefully. That's what I did and they reimbursed me for the Compressor I purchased and walked me through the solution. It was a while back now; I think there was a version of Compressor I downloaded for fress based on their suggestions... Anyway,everything works fine and although Apple DOE NOT like to give refunds if you are clear about the issue they will know exactly what the problem is and will help out.

  • Installing Logic Studio 9 upgrade issue

    I am installing the Logic Studio 9 upgrade from a copy of Logic Pro 7 which itself is an upgrade from Logic Express 7. I can run it usung the XSKey but when I try to run it without, it asks for a valid serial number (from Logic Pro 7) to verify the upgrade. The problem is I have a serial number for Logic Express but Logic Pro only has an XSKey serial number which isn't a valid number. Whilst I can use it with the XSKey, I would ideally like to use it without as it takes up a much needed usb slot and I hate having to carry it around when I'm out and about with my Macbook Pro as it's small enough to go missing and sticks out of the laptop rather precariously. Can anyone help with a solution?

    Just to update, I have to use XSKey every time I run Logic Studio otherwise I am prompted for my Studio serial number and a Logic serial number.

  • Major Logic Studio 9 Upgrade install issues

    I tried to install Logic Studio 9 upgrade today and there are a lot of problems. For one, Compressor 3.5 did not install, leaving me with 3.0.5. Quartermaster also did not update, leaving me with 3.0.5 of that as well. Soundtrack is at version 3.0.1.
    The Logic Studio 9 Installer just keeps Soundtrack and Compressor grayed out, so I can't do anything about that. I followed the instructions on the Knowledge Base article about the iLife 11 conflict, but that didn't make any difference.
    I also cannot log into the updates page on Apple's web site here (http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/download/). I have tried my Logic Studio 8 serial number and the serial number from my Logic Studio 9 Upgrade, and it just keeps telling me that they are invalid numbers. I have tried them with and without the dashes. The LS9 Upgrade installer accepted my serial numbers no problem, and I sent the registration to Apple. I'm totally baffled as to why the web page is denying me access.
    I have spent HOURS on just trying to get this software installed properly, and I have never seen such a mess. I wish I could just uninstall everything and start over but they don't even include an uninstaller. So at this point I have no clue how to get access to the support page since it's denying my serial numbers and it's not letting me update Compressor or Quartermaster (but everything else seems to have updated). It also keeps EX24 synth grayed out.
    I know this is a mess of a post but I've been trying to get this going for hours and hours and am exhausted and frustrated. Thanks for any advice.

    Ok, for some reason the Apple Support site is accepting my serial number okay, but it seems what's available as far as downloads is out of date compared to the software update tab.
    It seems my biggest problem remaining is just that I have Qmaster 3.0.5 and Compressor 3.0.5 which did not get updated to 3.5 (and then upped to 3.5.3 each with the ProApp Update 2010-02).
    I have never had Final Cut, any version, installed so it can't be that, and the iLife 11 "forget pkg" solution from the Knowledge Base didn't work. So what gives? How can I get Compressor and Quartermaster installed?

  • Logic Studio 9 upgrade won't work with my Studio 8 retail key

    I recently bought a new Mac mini with Logic Studio 9 upgrade as I already own a retail box of Logic Studio 8. I just tried installing Studio 9 after a clean install of OS X 10.6.1 and it tells me my key is invalid, so I install Logic Studio 8 before trying again (which accepts the key and works fine) but the Studio 9 install still won't accept it. Has anyone else had this problem and who do I contact about getting this fixed?

    it might ask you for the serial number of LP8(Logic Studio ) before installing LP9 (Logic Studio 2).
    Could it be that it asks for that and you put the serial of LP9 there>?
    Else call 0844 209 0611 it's £0.05p per minute when you call from a landline, the response is fast.
