10.6.2 screwed up logic express

Hi guys,
I bought a MacBook pro from Apple with Logic Express preinstalled. Last week I upgraded to 10.6.2 and then to 10.6.3. Now Logic Express won't run. I want to download the updated version, but this requires a serial number which I don't have (they installed it so I don't have the box or physical software).
What are my options?
Mickey

I also bought my Mac with Logic preinstalled, but I was given a physichal DVD and the serial number was on it. This dvd was in the same pack as the other software.

LOGIC EXPRESS 7 vs MOUNTAIN LION

I've upgraded to Mountain Lion. My copy of Logic Express 7 will not open saying that Power pc apps are not supported. Fine with me, I just want to update or upgrade to a version that runs under Mountain Lion. Impossible to find this information in the Apple support or update pages...unbelievable...
Can someone in the community help me?

I have express 9...there are issues. I can get work done, but the GUI is funny. Cursor changing when you move it over tracks. Playback is screwed up sometime, crackling, stalling. I have a brand new Macbook Pro. Not sure what is going on with the sound...Everything is quiet in monitors. (Not sure if this is a Logic express issue or Apogee driver issue not playing well with M.Lion.) (I tred my Apogee in Grageband and it seemed quiet there too....) But anyway there are some definate glitchs with express 9 in ML. I would go Pro, maybe or wait for X. (If there is one.) That's what I plan on doing. I think the Pro version works good in ML.

Logic Express vs OSX 10.4.9

Anybody else having problems with Logic Express since the 10.4.9 update? My M-Audio FireWire Solo interface is distorting my guitar tracks and the trouble seems to have started around the time of the update. M-Audio says there's not ETA on a 10.4.9 driver update. It works fine with GarageBand (which would indicate that the problem is with Logic) but I didn't buy Logic Express so that I would have to work in GarageBand. Until Apple or M-Audio gets on the stick and updates their software I'm screwed. I can reset the problem very briefly by selecting external clock in the driver, which doesn't have anything to do with the trouble, but resets the noise for a take, sometimes not a whole take. The only other solution I can see is back dating my OS to 10.4.8 which would require zeroing out my drive, something I'm not real anxious to do. If updates are coming soon I'll wait. Anybody else feeling my pain or even better, know when help is coming?

Now to your post:
Anybody else having problems with Logic Express since
the 10.4.9 update?
Yes...oops too late,you should read up on updates BEFORE you update.And turn off "Auto-Update" on your machine from now on.Or suffer,it's really your choice.
My M-Audio FireWire Solo interface
is distorting my guitar tracks and the trouble seems
to have started around the time of the update.
Yeah,I am sorry to hear that.Go buy another brand of audio interface.
M-Audio=migraine.
M-Audio says there's not ETA on a 10.4.9 driver
update.
Of course not.They are too busy blaming Digidesign.
It works fine with GarageBand (which would
indicate that the problem is with Logic) but I didn't
buy Logic Express so that I would have to work in
GarageBand.
Nope...it's definitely the 10.4.9 update,plus the interface=CACA.
Until Apple or M-Audio gets on the stick
and updates their software I'm screwed.
Glad it's you and not me,bro...
I can reset
the problem very briefly by selecting external clock
in the driver, which doesn't have anything to do with
the trouble, but resets the noise for a take,
sometimes not a whole take.
Let's see..I had three of these systems,adn replaced them with Digi gear.Now it works every day.Ergo,replace the interface.
The only other solution I
can see is back dating my OS to 10.4.8 which would
require zeroing out my drive, something I'm not real
anxious to do.
Save yourself the trouble of doing that.M-Audio won't pay you your down-time.
If updates are coming soon I'll wait.
Again,rely on crappy company (M-Audio) and you see the answer "M-Audio says there's not ETA on a 10.4.9 driver update. "
You said it...not me...you wanna wait???
Anybody else feeling my pain or even better, know
when help is coming?
I feel your pain,I went through this last year.Here's the only advice I can give you:
RUN TO GUITAR CENTER AND GET ANOTHER BRAND OF AUDIO INTERFACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers

Feeling Ripped Off - Logic Express 9 Upgrade Issue

Hi, I have been using Logic Express 8 for about a year. I just bought the upgrade for Logic Express 9. I started installing it, entered the serial number and then I was prompted to enter the serial number for my Logic Express 8.
I have since misplaced my LE 8 booklet with the serial number on the back (a bunch of stuff didn't make it to my new apartment in a move). I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought I would be able to find the serial number of my current version of LE 8 by clicking on the "About Logic Express" tab when I have the program running. However, when you click this all you get is who it is registered to (me) and the version number (8.02).
I called technical support and asked them where I can find the serial number and they said sure, "click on About Logic Express when you have the program open and it will be right there (he also called it the splash page)." It wasn't and isn't. The tech support person said "ah yes, only the previous versions of Logic Express show you the serial number of the version you currently are running." I asked if there was anywhere else that I could find this number and he said "no."
Solutions? He suggested I find my receipt and fax it in and get a new serial number. Impossible, I don't have the receipt. Call the store and see if they can dig it up. Let's get real. It was purchased with Xmas money in cash I got from my parents.
Basically, I'm screwed. I have an opened LE 9 upgrade that I can't return. I have a version of LE 8 that I legally purchased and for some dumb reason there isn't a file or page or something in the program that notes my serial number.
Not fair. I guess I have to tattoo all serial numbers for stuff I purchase from Apple to my arms on the chance that I lose a booklet. Why Apple doesn't include a file or store the serial number of the LE version you are running somewhere on the system is beyond me.
So, I feel ripped off. Apple doesn't care. I thought there would be some way we could work this out (like printing the screenshot of the page that says I am the registered owner) but they would rather try to get another $100 out of a loyal Apple customer and force me to buy LE 9 straight up. I've probably spent about $7,000 on Apple stuff in the past 6 years. I am the definition of a loyal customer.
Not fair.

You didn't buy Logic Express, you merely paid for the right to use it. When you install it, you are presented with the license agreement to which you must agree.
At the top of the agreement it reads "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE, YOU MAY RETURN THE APPLE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED IT FOR A REFUND...."
So, try taking it back to the store and telling them you declined the license agreement and want a refund.
You can find a copy of the Logic Express license agreement here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf

Can logic express 7.2 run in LION?

I just got a new Macbook Pro,
apparently my Logic Express 7.2 will not launch on this computer.
can logic express 7.2 run in LION?
Any workaround?

Hey Dewaine
Thanks for the help.
Now I have another issue.
Before you replied I bought and installed Logic Express 9. Which "erased" my old version of Express 7.
Most of my fies open fine in 9. However older files that have not yet been save in 7 will not open in 9, so....
Can I re-install 7 and have both versions running on my new Macbook(LION)?
Or would this screw up anything. It would be nice to have the choice of running 7 on the new machine as well as 9.
Thanks so much for your help.

I have logic express. is this the same?

I've currently got Logic Express 9 (9.1.7).
I purchased this a while ago.
Now all of a sudden i see on the Mac App Store, they have Logic Pro 9 (9.1.7). Is this the same program?
My icon for the app is Gold, but on the Mac App Store, it's silver. Mine is called Express, the mac app store is called Pro.
My big concern is that on the Mac App Store, it gives me the option to buy Logic Pro 9, it doesn't say I already own the program. This is what makes me think that it's a different program. And if they're dropping Logic Express, and going with Logic Pro, am I screwed out of a program? Am I going to have to shell out 200 bucks to have Logic Pro, instead of Logic Express, just so I can get updates?
-Very Confused

It is not, you can check the differences here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4229
Logic Studio doesn't exist in the Mac App Store, but you can buy Logic Pro (with all the content), MainStage and Compressor individually.
In short:
more instruments and effects
more sounds
more presets

IControl and Logic Express

Hi everyone, 1st post with 2 questions:
I am a new user with the latest version of LE installed (7.2.3) and find that some of the controls on my iControl dont' work.
For example, the rotary dial, master volume and play/record controls work, but the individual track volume controls and return to zero button don't work. According to the Apple pdf on control surfaces, everything should work (which it does when I'm using Garage Band).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
My next question relates to my POD XT -- when I turn it on, it seems to "fry" my iControl and I have to go under preferences and reinitialize or something to that effect.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank-you,
Vince
intel imac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I just got an iControl $65.00 new! whew! CompUSA is closing in my town, and all goodies were 50% off.
anyway, it works perfect with Logic Express, except, as you found, the return to beginning button of the transport controls.
I figured out it's because Logic does not have such a button. A double hit of the stop button acts as the return to 0.
So, a quick solution is to simply open up the Key Commands window, go to Global, then find Stop. Click once on stop, then at the very bottom right of the window is the "learn assignment" button. click once on that, and simply hit the button on the iControl once, and close the window.
Logic Express 7 now will return to zero just like it's supposed to.
I gotta tell everyone, I've seen people on these forums saying what a toy this thing is, and another M-audio piece of junk. I've had some expensive control surfaces, and this thing rocks. it has just enough to be usefull, but not so much that you spend alot of time screwing around with things.
I like it, and now that I have one, would have paid $150 for it.

Does mainstage work with logic express 9

hi , do all the features and plug-ins work with logic express 9 or are some features disabled .
or are they not compatible at all
thanks

I have just spoken to two supervisors and 4 underlings about this exact concern and they ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO BUDGE in regard to a sidegrade or smaller upgrade fee. I have been a loyal Mac user, ****, an EVANGELIST since 1990, spent well over 100 grand on the apple products I needed and I tried being super polite, explained that I had barely had a chance to learn a thing about Express since I bought it in the store after realizing that there was no way I could afford the Logic Pro 9 box sitting next to it.
THE ANSWER IS IF YOU WANT THE NEW, CHEAPER VERSION OF LOGIC PRO 9 AND MAINSTAGE, YOU NEED TO TOSS OUT YOUR ALREADY CANCELLED LOGIC EXPRESS 9 DISKS, FORGET YOU BOUGHT THEM IF YOU CAN, AND, IF YOU WERE DOWNSIZED LIKE I WAS 3 YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY BACK GAVE OUT...
GO AHEAD. SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP YOURSELF FROM THROWING UP WHEN YOU HIT THAT PURCHASE BUTTON ON THE TWO PROGRAMS THEY REDUCED IN PRICE.
REMEMBER, THOUGH...IT IS NOT LOGIC STUDIO YOU ARE GETTING. THEY SPLIT THE BOX UP SO THE REMAINDER OF THE SOFTWARE IN IT WENT INTO FINAL CUT PRO. THE ORIGINAL BOX YOU CAN STILL GET FOR $500 UNTIL THEY SELL OUT.
DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER. THIS IS ONE ANGRY EX-EVANGELIST WHO NO LONGER HAS ANY REVERENCE LEFT FOR APPLE. I GUESS WHEN THEY LOST STEVE, THEY LOST TOO MUCH. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS POLICY. SCREW THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT THE WHOLE AMOUNT, NOBODY AT APPLE REALLY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT IS LEFT IN YOUR WALLET.
SORRY FOR THE RANT, BUT I AM IN SHOCK AFTER THE LAST TWO HOURS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO SEE HOW WRONG THIS POLICY IS.
WE HAVE BEEN SHAFTED, BIG TIME. IN THIS ECONOMY, THAT IS ONE HUGE INSULT IMHO.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

Dynamic Logical Expressions in ABAP: IF (lt_cond)...

is it possible to have a dynamically constructured logical expression?
I have a condition I need to use in an IF, but I want to avoid hard-coding, so I dynamicallybuild it.

CONCATENATE ITAB-f1
 'EQ'
 varValue

IF (lt_cond).

I am trying to use the macro to check an IF (cond).
cond is a dynamically constructed condition.

I've read all the documentation I can find on this, but i still cannot figure out why my macro is not processing.
Code is lengthy, but if you can, please help.

Logical expression( = , =, , ) in read statement

Hi All,
Is it possible to use the logical expressions like (<= , >=, <, >) in the read statement?

While you can only use "=" with the READ statement, you can use the READ statement to position the cursor at the first record you want and then use the LOOP with your operators to get only those records you want (assuming standard tables that have been correctly sorted). This can be very efficient.
There have been many discussion about this in the forums. Please search and you'll see them.

Logical expressions in Link editor

Hi all,
Is it possible to define logical expressions (using AND, OR) in the Link editor of BLS or are we left with only using the Conditional Action block? Thanks...

Yes it is.
For AND : <<Condition1>> && <<Condition2>>
For OR : <<Condition1>> || <<Condition2>>
You can use the double ampersand (&&) for AND and double pipe (||) for OR

Help! Logic Express 8 does not work on my Mac Pro with OS 10.5.1

Hello, I hope somebody around here is able to help me.
I have got a new Mac Pro with one Quad core processor since yesterday and it works fine except for Logic Express 8 (version 8.0.1). Whenever I start Logic the program crashes as soon as "Core Audio initialisieren" is shown in the display. I have tried to reinstall the program, deleted it completely and installed it again. It is always the same.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do about it? I am a musician and I really need Logic Express to run.

Confused. 10.6 is DVD based. Only Lion and above are downloads.
And best install is not to upgrade. Do a clean install - on another drive.
Corrupt partition tables or bad sectors or no room to adjust the partitions or the directory is corrupt.
ERASE the drive if Repair Disk didn't work.

Loops in Logic Express

First of all I best say that I am new to Logic Express and Garageband, in fact the Mac thing so forgive the basic nature of this post. I have had some funny goings on with my mac since a failed software install so I decided to rebuild everything including the OS. Having re-installed Garageband and Logic Express I find most of the loops are missing. Some are there but all drum loops and others have gone. I tried to look up options to see if there is a tick box to install them but nothing. If I look in library, the loop directory is also missing. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
Tetleyted

Thanks for the reply. took a look but the directory structure as follows: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops (Apple doesn't exist. I have a feeling that garageband and Logic Express hasn't completed the install. I have tried to re-run it but the same thing happened - no loops. Any suggestions welcomed.

Some organs don't play in new Logic Express files after JamPacks installed

After loading only the instruments from the Symphony Orchestra and World Music GarageBand Jam Packs, I lost the ability to hear most of the organs available in Logic Express and all of the organs available in GarageBand after inserting them into Logic Express tracks. These same organ sounds still play in any Logic Express file set up prior to the installation of the JamPacks and they continue to play in GarageBand. Can an uninstall/reinstall of Logic Express 7.2.3 be a fix for this or is there an easier way to return the lost instruments to Logic Express?
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Midisport 4x4, iControl

The loss of instrument sounds in Logic Express had nothing to do with the installation of GarageBand JamPacks. The midi channel setting in the Inspector box of the Arrange window in Logic Express needed to be set to channel 1 to get midi data from other than channel 1 to play some of the inserted CoreAudio instruments. I don't understand what's going on but now I'm able to get the instruments that would not play.
