Anybody running Logic X on a late '09 macbook?  I'm wondering if my computer can handle the upgrade.

I know I have to update my operating system and RAM, has anyone done so with success?

This is good to know, thank you.  Mine is a normal Macbook, I do mee the minimum requirement with a RAM upgrade but I fear it might be slow even so.  Thank you for the input.

    If it's a Core Duo Mac, no.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X DVD, and if the computer can't run 10.8, a download code for 10.7.

  • Can a late 2011 Macbook Pro utilize 1.35v RAM? Can OS X 10.8 display the RAM voltage?

    Can a late 2011 Macbook Pro (Sandy Bridge, not Ivy Bridge) utilize 1.35 volts Ram or will the Pro run it at 1.5 volts? Is there anyway in OS X 10.8 to determine what voltage the RAM is running at?

    Thanks again wjosten.
    Do you know of any third-party software titles that can provide the RAM's voltage? I ask because others have made unsubstantiated claims of using 1.35V ram with a late 2011 MacBook Pro and because Crucial's website suggests the use of 1.35V with a late 2011 MacBook Pro. Unless it is a mistake, I do not know why Crucial would suggest this:

  • Why would my late 2012 MacBook Air suddenly tell me "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" every time I try to play a film, or TV file?

    8GB late 2012 MacBook Air 512GB SSD with iTunes for Mac 12.1.0.50. Yosomite 10.10.2
    This happens on movies and TV titles that have happily run before.

    It is everything.
    Downloading again doesn't seem to work. I deleted all my films and then just re-downloaded Pixar's 5 minute short film Boundin', but the error message popped up as soon as I pressed play.
    The only thing I can think of is that last couple of times I ran Disk Utility a new error appeared that I haven't seen before. I have added a link to a screenshot of the Disk Utility report and it refers to "displaypolicyd should be should be 0, group is 244". It says it has been fixed, but the error still persists each time. This may be a red herring, but I can't help thinking that it is something to do with the problem.

  • I have an IMAC that runs OS 10.6.7.  I use Netgear for wireless. My computer keeps losing the network, so I can't use wireless.

    I have an IMAC that runs OX 10.6.7. I use NEtgear for wireless. I have a laptop and Ipod that I use on the wireless. Recently, my desktop computer shows that it is searching for the wireless system (on the router). I contacted Netgear. They talked me into buying another router and their technical contract. Nothing is working. I can plug my  5200 modem directly up to my desktop , and the  network is fine, but the wireless, of course, is not plugged in. When I go to connect the wireless, it doesn't work. This is not a computer program per se, nor is it a router program because sometimes it will work. It seems to me that the computer and router are not working together to hold the settings.
    I have attempted to download the latest software for my computer, i.e., Imac graphics fireware. Each time I try, it says that the extensions are not valid for my computer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Vicki

    Imac graphics fireware.
    Did you mean to say firmware? You should only install firmware updates when offered to you via Software Update; other than that, whatever is offered is not appropriate for your model.
    As for your Netgear router - I have a Netgear and set it up manually on their web interface setup site (the address should be in your manual). Did you call your ISP so they will recognize that there is a router involved? Sometimes my iMac also does not want to communicate with the router; however, my Macbook and printer have no problem. I solved the problem by connecting things this way:
    cable from wall to modem > cable from modem to router > cable from router to iMac. The other things are wireless.

    Given Mavericks OS X 10.9.5 is said to no longer be available, you may wish to try your luck first
    with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 just in case your older computer does not like Yosemite 10.10.1. From
    what I understand, you'd likely pay a fee to get & use Mt Lion. That may be worth it, if the unit
    does not prefer Yosemite; and it may be difficult to revert to an older one after installing 10.10.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Is anybody running Logic Pro on a Mac Book Pro?

    I am considering buying a Mac Book Pro and wanted to know if Logic runs fine on it. I probably will add a couple of libraries such as the EW Gold Symph Library which can be quit large. If I could get some info on that, I'd appreciate it. I know the Mac book Pro memory is extendable to 4 GB Ram, but, is it enough for the Logic Studio?
    Thanks

    Latest project on my MBP had 17 tracks (9 SW instrument tracks and 8 audio tracks) each with at least two plugs. No problems....
    Remember that if you get the dreaded resource warning messages you can always "Freeze" your SW instrument tracks to print the effects to audio files that are automatically stored in your project folder (so yes, it does suck up more HD space but really offloads the CPU).
    Another tip is to turn Airport off when you are using LP8 as some people (raises hand) find they can get more tracks with Airport off.
    And as already mentioned....you can get even more tracks if you have your projects and/or samples on a 7200 external drive.
    Go for it....it works great!!!

  • Can not shut down late 2011 MacBook Pro and turn it back on again without the hard drive disappearing?

    Ok, I have searched for months for an answer to this question to no avail, probably because no one has experienced it before. I am hoping however that you guys can help me figure this one out cause it is driving me nuts! Also, I am not entirely sure what section of the support I should put this under so if I stick it in the wrong place, I apologize.
    Right now my problem is very simple. When I turn off my laptop, and then try to turn it back on, my internal hard drive disappears... and I get the blinking folder with a question mark on it. I have figured out something interesting however. I have an install disk with Ubuntu Linux on it. If I boot into that first, then RESTART the laptop, not shut down and turn back on, it reads the internal hard drive just fine and I can boot as if there is nothing wrong.
    Second part to the problem... If I allow the laptop in either OSX or Windows to go to sleep (aka shut off the hard drive but the computer remains on), when I attempt to wake it up, I am greeted with the usual log in screen of whichever OS I am in, but is frozen and after a few seconds goes black and restarts the computer to find that... Surprise! The hard drive is gone
    I have tried every trick in the book that I can think of, but can not seem to come up with a solution to the problem... I know when the problem happened and if anyone thinks that that will help them figure this out I will type everything I did up till, including the crash that caused this, and my attempted fixes, but I have class right now so only if you guys want it I will type all that out.
    What I am currently running is:
    2011 MacBook Pro 13in screen
    4Gb of Ram
    1TB internal Hard Drive
    OSX 10.11.whatever the newest update is... just updated the other day again.
    Windows 8.1 on BootCamp 5 (yea I know its not supposed to work but it does) again, fully updated
    Ubuntu 13.10 (I think? Doesn't really matter, its just an install disk I use to boot the computer)
    If there is anything else that you guys need me to provide, I can, just simply ask. I can provide as much info as is necessary.

    Sorry it took me so long to write back, But unfortunately this didn't help my issue.
    My uncle and I did a lot of tests on this computer and have narrowed down the location of the problem a little bit.
    We tried to first reset the SMC and the NVRAM as suggested, but the only thing that did was make the fans run on full tilt for the first session after restarting it for some reason. After that we tried re installing OSX over the OSX that was already on the system (not removing any of the files). This also didn't do anything but make refit stop working. Then we moved onto the next task at hand by removing the hard drive entirely and booting it as an external drive from one of the USB ports... as long as you booted it with the options key held down, it worked perfectly fine. Then we put an alternative hard drive into the computer and installed OSX on that. This time there was no trouble booting anything up. Everything seemed to work flawlessly. So we made a backup of my original drive (OSX, Windows, and all) onto an external hard drive and tested booting to it via USB. That again worked perfectly fine and booted right up with no problems. So after that we formatted the original hard drive and reinstated OSX. We then proceeded to transfer all the old files from the backup onto this new installation and LOW AND BEHOLD..... we were back to square one with it refusing to recognize the hard drive again.
    So this basically told us that there appears to be something either wrong with the hard drive, or something got really screwed up in the software along the lines and by me copying all my old files back over, I just ended up bringing the screwed up file back over with it! (despite not copying over any settings of any kind) So I am still extremely confused as to what is going wrong... did some boot sector possibly get screwed up may be?

  • HT4718 I upgraded my OSX to Version 10.8.4 and all operations are running very slow, especially my online browsing.  Anyone else have this problem, and can undo the update?

    I saw an update was available and trusted without exploring what was involved.  Now all applications are running
    slow including anything having to do with the internet.  Can I uninstall the update?

    Start up in Safe Mode. Connect to your router with an ethernet cable, as your wifi may not work, and apply the 10.8.4 Combo update.

  • My computer keeps saying firefox is still running after I have closed it and then I have to restart my computer to use the internet again. What's the problem? Also, I cannot print my emails.

    Why do I need to restart my computer every time I've closed the internet and try to reopen firefox?

    Yep tried that and it would not stop. I tried running portable Firefox and couldn't, no surprise as it is already running. I had to reboot my PC. You may think that acceptable. When it takes 15 minutes and you don't normally turn off your machine as it needed on then it's a bigger deal.
    I ran the portable version again as V5 is crap, basically and there is nowhere to find version 4!!! Thanks for that Mozilla.
    It tells me that Firefox is running. I did manage to kill that version at least but why or how is FireFox running after a reboot and using 62 Mb when doing nothing to boot.
    Firefox 5 is really slow at remembering URL's when typed in the whole app slows right down and it take 10-15 sec to come up with the same as V4 did straight away. I have to admit my PC in the office does not behave this way with version 5 but this is the real world.

  • Late 2008 Macbook Unibody (Aluminum) 2.0 GHZ Ram and Hard Drive Upgrade Help

    Hello,
    I have a few questions:
         -Is the max 8gb of ram and what would you recommend brand-wise?
         -What is a great and cheap 1tb hard drive that will fit in this computer?
         -What is the boot rom needed to ensure 8gb of ram will fit correctly?
    -Justin

    1. Yes, 8 GBs is the maximum. I would suggest purchasing from:
    OWC
    DataMem
    Crucial.com
    2. Toshiba and Hitachi make a 1 TB notebook drive that will fit.
    3. The Boot ROM really has nothing to do with it. Buy the right product, and it should work.
    Maximum Memory
    8.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots

  • How can i get a superdrive to work with a late 2008 macbook that already had one inside but taken out for upgrading.

    I bought a superdrive thinking it would work with my macbook. i took the built in one in for a second hhd. Please help!!!!

    Did you know ahead of time, that certain models of Mac cannot use the new Apple USB SuperDrive?
    Usually those are ones that had an internal superdrive, as there is a firmware block or other device
    that generally does not allow the external USB Superdrive from Apple to work with older Macs...
    This includes iMacs or others with the built-in optical drive, MacBook/Pro of certain vintage, etc.
    Since the use of the optical drive space inside the case has been used for second hard drive or
    solid state drive, the need for a superdrive does not diminish once its no longer in there...
    The topic of trying to make the Apple USB Superdrive to work has been mentioned online, incl here:
    https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Optical_Drive
    There is mention of a way to attempt to use command line, to make the 'Apple USB superdrive' work
    with older Macs that otherwise won't allow it. Be aware this may affect the warranty, it also may affect
    the returns policy if it does not work out, once you mess with the firmware or command-line entries.
    So that is one of the ifixit items in the link above. You should be able to find a fair deal on a different
    brand of USB optical drive that does much the same thing as the Apple, and without extra drivers.
    If you get some other brand, test & check it to be able to perform as needed (like a Superdrive) and
    note the returns policy on this kind of product before you buy it, just in case it does not function.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I run more than one VST on a PC slave running Logic 5.5?

    I have moved from PC to Intel Mac (good!) and wish to run several non Intel VST apps from a slave PC running Logic 5.5 (ie Trilogy, Atmosphere).
    My question is (and forgive my stupidity if the answer is obvious) how can I address each virtual instrument from the Mac? Currently I operate MidioverLAN CP which enables my PC computer to receive midi but I seem only to be able to access one instrument at a time, not permitting me to run several apps at once.
    many thanks in advance for any kind help

    Logic 5.5 is not an ideal VST host, as by default, only one virtual instrument is in Live mode, and you can't rig up environment solutions without a large latency (which makes it unusable).
    There is a workaround involving putting a bypassed IO plugin on your instrument tracks, and then you can use environment cabling without the large latency (it tricks Logic into putting all instruments in Live mode). Then you'd cable your physical input through a channel splitter and onto the audio instruments to assign each a MIDI channel as has been discussed to death on this forum.
    If there isn't a reason you must use Logic 5.5 PC to do this, then there are much better PC VST hosting apps and I recommend looking into them...
