Things to remember before installing Logic Pro 9 upgrade on new iMac

Hello!
Just moved up from a G5 to an iMac i7.
I have my XS Key and the upgrade for Logic Pro 9.
Any thing i should know before installation ?
I only have the 1TB internal drive right now.
Thanks

You can purchase the Upgrade and install it on your New MBP...
Just have the Serial Number from LP 8 handy for when you are asked for it...
After the install you will need to run Software update to get the Latest version of Logic 9 for Lion..
Or you can Download it from Here

Hi guys,
ive been scrolling the internet for days and actually can't find the solution to my next problem:
I bought the new macbook pro 15" running mac osx 10.7.4.
now i want to install logic 9 on this computer. Before this i've already been using logic on two computers, my Mac Pro and my older macbook pro (2008).
I installed logic pro 9 as in upgrade to Logic pro 8.
Ive tried installing logic pro 8 on the new laptop but it wont let me, says the new macbookpro doesnt support this program anymore.
Now ive tried installing logic 9 on the new macbook pro and it wont allow me. It wont accept my product liscence, I've tried it a hundred times, but it just wont let me.
Im not planning on using the older laptop anymore, should i uninstall logic from it? If so... how come i can't find the location of the liscence?
really hope hearing from u guys soon....

Sounds like the same issue as this to me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18640824#18640824
The license says you can only install on one laptop and one desktop machine. Try uninstalling it from the old laptop and see if that fixes it.

Can't instal Logic Pro 9 on my new Mac Book Pro

I installed Logic Pro 9 on my new Mac Book Pro just to receive the Message, the New Mac doesn't Accept old Power Programms...
HELP. I spent so much money just for the reason to use Logic for my music Production.
THANK YOU

Run Disk Utility.
Select the Mac Partition on that drive (Macintosh HD or whatever you called it)
Click (Repair Disk)
Repeat until it comes clean or gets stuck.

I'm struggling to install Logic Pro 9 upgrade on Mountain Lion

Way back we bought one of the last pre-Intel G5 in order to do music processing. We also bought Logic Studio v6 or 7. Then we upgraded to Logic Studio 8 and later decided to use a macbook pro instead of the G5. So far so good. We then upgraded to Logic Pro 9 and can run this on Lion on the Macbook Pro.
My partner is now working away and takes his Macbook with him, so we want to set-up Logic 9 on my macbook pro which is running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Once this is done we will take it off his machine, so not pirating in any way.
I have managed (at great length) to install Logic Studio 8 on my machine using Pacifist, and I can open it and create projects etc... I now want to install Logic Pro 9 on this machine but I get a message saying that a qualifying copy of Logic or MainStage was not found on the disk. To complicate matters, we can't find either the logic pro 9 disk or an image copy, so I downloaded from the following link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
which I found in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4948612
I have already spent many many hours fiddling with this, does anyone know how I can get around this problem?

Im using LPX and have found it to work well.... and no less stable than LP9 in terms of general stability. There are some bugs but given we are still in the early stages of development, that is not surprising and is no different to how it was with LP8 and 9 in their early days. I should add I haven't come across any "showstopper" bugs that affect my own personalo workflow and method of using Logic... just a few niggles and minor annoyances... that for the most part can be worked around if they haven't already been fixed in the 3 updates that have come out since initial release.
I have had no real issues with importing LP9 projects into LPX other than of course, the lack of 32bit Plugin support in LPX which means LP9 projects that contain 32bit plugins.. will not fully import into LPX. The midi/audio data imports ok.. the 32bit plugins will be missing however... if you don't have equivilant 64bit versions installed. For me, this issue has been very minimal simply because almsot all the plugins i use, have already been updated to 64bit versions over the last few years.
There has also been an issue with certain parameters in the track/region Inspector after import into LPX, containing weird values.. I have only had this issue once out of maybe 40+ LP9 Projects and in this one case i simply reset the values and all was well. Other users have reported different levels of how often this occurs.
Note: Once a project has been opened and then resaved in LPX the LPX version cannot be opened in LP9 as project compatibility is only backwards and not forwards.
If you cannot find your disk and serial..(which you will also need) Contact Apple as they may be able to provide you with replacements disks if they have any left. Bear in mind if, as it appears, your LP9 is an upgrade from LP8 you will also need your previous LP8 serial as well as your upgrade LP9 serial to properly install Logic on a new Mac. Once installed you can and in fact must... then update LP9 to 9.1.8 via software updates in LIon or Mountain LIon... for Logic to under those OS versions.

Installing Logic Pro 9 upgrade on a different Mac than the one that Logic Studio 8 is installed on.

I have Logic Studio 8 installed on an OLD Mac Mini (10.6.8). It's not really worth the hassle to upgrade hardware (and the hardware that can be upgraded in that Mac Mini is limited). Am I entitled to the Logic Pro 9 upgrade to install on my brand new Macbook Pro using the serial number from Logic Studio 8 on the Mac Mini? Or do I need to purchase the full version of Logic Pro 9 to put on the Macbook Pro? The new Macbook Pro has never had Logic Studio 8 installed on it. (In fact it won't install because the Macbook Pro is running 10.7.2.

Logic Pro 8 problem on new iMac running 10.6.7

I just purchased a new iMac (3.2 Ghz core i3) running 10.6.7
I have ran all the system updates.
I have migrated Logic Pro 8.0.2 from my old iMac (running os 10.4.11).
I have also performed a clean install of Logic Pro and am still having same issue, which is:
When trying to open Logic, it starts to load various AUs, and other startup items, and then simply "quits." I have de-installed all my 3rd party products. This install of logic is an upgrade from Logic 7, upgraded from logic 6.
Any thoughts on why it is not running? (PS. none of the apps from the Logic Suite are running, ie... Soundtrack, comressor, etc...)

Hi
Did you do all the "ProApplications" support downloads after you installed Logic?
Also .... maybe this could be the issue with a migration???

Logic Pro 8 transfer to new iMac

I just bought a new iMac 5K and want to transfer my Logic Pro 8.
When I start up Logic it asks me for the serial number. I have looked thru the original package and can't find a serial number.
I copied down the serial number of LP8 on my old MacPro but it doesn't seem to work.
How do I go about it? Where do I go or who do I contact?

This is tough but true…...
I wouldn't bother tracking down your serial as Logic 8 does not work on Yosemite 10.10.x.
The 'oldest' version of Logic that will work on your new machine is 9.1.8 but even with the newest version of Logic X a lot of people are having a lot of issues on 10.10.x.
Either way, 8 will not work. Sorry to be the barer of bad news.

Should I install my fcp 5.0 first before installing fcp 5.1 on a new imac

I just purchased a new imac. I have my old fcp 5.0 for my pre-intel g5. I know it doesnt work on the intel imac so I got the fcp 5.1. Do I need to install the 5.0 first and then the 5.1 or can I just install the 5.1?

That's kind of unusual, because the 5.1 upgrade I thought was a disc swap.
In any case, you don't need 5.0.

My serial number says revoked? when trying to install premiere pro cs6 on my new imac

trying to reinstall premiered pro on my new mac and says my serial number has been revoked???

Normally a PC serial number is not valid for a Mac version. I don't know if the following holds for Student/Teacher editions though there should be something similar...
Change product platform or language
You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

Do I need to uninstall previous version of Logic Pro before I install Logic Pro X?

Basically what it says above!?

You don't need to delete the previous Logic Pro version before installing Logic Pro X. Logic Pro X is a new version and won't replace the old Logic Pro version, so if you like Logic Pro X and that's what you need after testing it, remove the old Logic Pro

Installing Logic Pro 9 on second computer

How do install Logic Pro 9 on my new macbook pro? I bought the LP9 as an upgrade and downloaded it onto my desktop mac.

Hi
If the "new Macbook Pro" is running Lion, the Logic 8 installers will not work (without a boatload of extra work).
Are you sure that you purchased LP9 as an upgrade? If you got it from the AppStore, it is the full version not an upgrade. If you did buy it from the Appstore, the simplest way to install it on your new Mac is to repeat the download.

After Installing Logic Pro X, my Logic Pro 9's 32-bit AUs don't work. The 32-bit bridge doesn't open and run either in my Logic pro 9. My 32-bit AU plugins are crossed out. Help?

As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.

Should I remove Logic 8 before installing Logic 9

Hi guys, I just purchases Logic Studio (Logic 9) and I am ready to upgrade from Logic 8. Now I want to be sure I don't get duplicate files. Is it safe to install Logic 9 without removing 8, or would it be better to remove Logic Studio 8 and all of the content before installing 9?
If so, what is the best way to remove Logic 8?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Happy New Year!
Installing Logic Studio 9 won't create duplicates,you can leave Logic Pro 8 on your system.
If so, what is the best way to remove Logic 8?

How To Install Logic Pro from my Mac Pro to a new iMac?

I read about this once but have forgotten.
I currently have Logic Pro on my Mac Pro.Using the latest version.
Just bought an iMac which will be here soon.
I have the original Logic discs and the box says "Upgrade from Logic Studio or Logic Pro" on the front.
As I remember, I will have to install all these DVDs on the new iMac, then somehow update the application to the current version online. Is this correct?
Where does one go to do the update? App store? So confusing.
It's like...they wanted you to register your copy of Logic when you bought it...so if you did, why don't they know you already own it and allow you to just download it to your new computer?
Thanks for any help
Tom

Apple is nowhere near as small a company and unfortunately, when a company grows, these kind of requests start to come in so often that the management finds ways to obscure, redirect, or flat out refuse to provide service and help out.
There is also the big factor that Apple may not even know the key themselves. Even if they know you bought a copy, Logic doesnt talk to the internet to verify AFAIK so there would be very little reason for them to be able to link your key to your receipt to tell you what your serial was, and I imagine they are understandably touchy about giving out new ones.
Does your old registration login still work? I was under the impression that it would all be eaten up by the App Store.
