Are older logic versions compatible with latest leopard?

hi, ive just bought the latest macbook.
ive seen some older versions for sale on ebay. v7 etc.
will latest leopard be compatible with older logic pro/studio?
or just the latest logic studio will work?
also, do i need an external hard drive to record and store my song data??
pro tools requires an external dedicated drive to record audio onto/store samples etc.
does this apply to logic too, on macbook. or will i be ok just using the internal hard drive? (its NOT 7200rpm, 5400 or something like that) (250gb)
thanks

Logic 7.1 and below will run very very badly on any Intel Mac, if at all. Shortly after the Intel Macs arrived Apple brought out a 'crossgrade' which was Logic 7.2 which was the first Universal Binary version of Logic, i.e able to run on an Intel Mac. In the UK the crossgrade was £45.
A few months before Logic 8 appeared Apple pulled the crossgrade much to the contention of many users who wanted to buy a new Intel Mac but had no way to upgrade (their 7.1 or below Logic) so that it would actually work. It got up to 7.2.3 before it moved to 8.
So if you are going to buy version 7, make sure it is 7.2 or above or it has the crossgrade disk included, and it will run fine on your Intel Mac. This will save you a lot of pain.

  • Is logic 7 compatible with snow leopard 10.6.8?

    I have been running logic pro 7.0.0 on OSX 10.6.8 for ages with no problem.
    Now all of a sudden it has died on me. Immediatley crashes every time I try to open it.
    I have tried re-installing and still no joy.
    I have also tried to install verion 7.2.0 but this will not install, just get a error.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do I have to upgrade and if so will version 8 work?
    Many thanks

    CS 1 Works totally fine here on 10.6.8 and Rosetta is a killer feature, very fast and unobtrusive, I generally don't notice speed differences between CS1 (PPC) and CS5.5 (Intel) on the same machine for normal size files. So I have no reason to believe this won't be the case with CS2 as well.  With gigantic files 5.5 certainly has the edge as it can use way more memory.
    Don't forget to ENABLE rosetta on 10.6. It is no longer ON by default.

  • Are my apps compatible with snow leopard?

    I recently upgraded my system from Leopard to Lion without first checking to see whether it would affect my compability with other applications.  Dumb.  I now can't run MacDraft 5.5.8, Filemaker Pro 6 or Quicken 7.  If I partiall downgrade my system to Snow Leopard, will these applications work, or do I need to go all the way back to Leopard?  I have both disks and am backed up to an external HD via Time Machine.

    You cannot "partially" downgrade. You can erase Lion and install Leopard or Snow Leopard. Check the developers' websites to find out about product compatibility. Quicken 7 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    You can retain Lion and create another partition on your hard drive on which you can install Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    You can then restart the computer from the installer DVD for Leopard or Snow Leopard and install onto the new partition. To boot into the older version of OS X restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the system you want to use then click on the arrow button below the icon.

  • Versions of iMovie and iPhoto compatible with Snow Leopard

    I finally managed to reinstall iMovie and iPhoto into the Snow Leopard side of my hard drive (I have partitioned it into Snow Leopard and
    Mountain Lion). I want to use the last versions of both that are still compatible with Snow Leopard, but I don't want to download any updates that will take me into Mountain Lion territory.The iMovie version that I have downloaded is 8.0.4 (807), and the iPhoto version is 81 (415).  What versions are only compatible with Mountain Lion?

    Mende1,
    If I understand you correctly, I can get the most advanced versions of iMovie and iPhoto in iLife 11. Furthermore, there is no danger of updating to the point that they will no longer be compatible with Snow Leopard. If I had known that before,I could have saved myself a great deal of trouble, and I could have done it long ago.  Well, live and learn.

  • Leopard TM backups are NOT compatible with Snow Leopard

    I just discovered while upgrading to Snow Leopard that Time Machine backups made in Leopard are not compatible with Snow Leopard at this time. So, for those of you who are considering upgrading to Snow Leopard using your TM backups to restore your data, the TM backup will not be recognised by Snow Leopard.
    I called Apple Care to check this when I went to restore my data as I had done an Erase and Install, and they confirmed that I would have to either:
    a) use the data on my TM drive as any other data only backup, or
    b) re-inslall Leopard, restore the TM backup, then upgrade to Snow Leopard rather than erase and install.
    For info

    Incidentally, yes, the "package" file is the in.Progress file. It seems to have the incremental updates, since it's a real big file, and has very recent entries. Again the last set of timestamped folders (i.e. a full backup) was over a year ago.
    No, something's very wrong. All (completed) TM backups are the same.
    Inside the Backups.backupdb folder should be a single folder with your computer name; inside that should be a series of folders with the date & time of each remaining backup, plus the Latest folder which is an alias to the most recent of the date & time folders, except an "in.Progress" folder.
    The "in.Progress" folder is an incomplete (failed or cancelled) backup, and is ignored in all TM displays, since it's unusable.
    In any event I have not deleted or changed any of the files. Also the stuff in the "Latest" folder is over a year old. But I've had TM running the whole time.
    So does that mean (I'm hoping) that my recent stuff will be recovered from the inProgress file if I can ever get this working? Or does it mean I'm screwed anyways, because the best I can get is the files from the Latest or most recent timestamped folder (again, both a year back).
    First, run +*Repair Disk+* again (and again) until it either fixes all the errors or can't fix any more. If it can't fix any more, it's barely possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party app such as +DiskWarrior 4.2+ can (it's about $100).
    Let's see if DU can fix it on a second pass. Hopefully it will, and the problem was preventing the more recent backups from appearing.

  • Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
    Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
    Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
    If so, where can I get it?
    Thank you in advance to the Apple community.
    Philippe

    As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
    So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
    If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.

  • FCE version 3.5 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I have a new Mac Pro running OS 10.6.2. Does anyone know whether Final Cut Express (version 3.5) is compatible with Snow Leopard? I really like that this version has Live Type and Soundtrack, which is why I want to install it, instead of upgrading to version 4. Thanks.

    I believe FCE4 is technically the only version supported by Apple for use with Snow Leopard. (I'm sure Tom will correct me if I'm wrong!) That being said, many people have found that it still works.
    If you upgrade to FCE4, the projects from the old version will work fine. However, you will not be able to open any FCE4 projects in your old FCE3.5 (you probably wouldn't want to anyway).

  • Which is the latest iPhoto version compatible with Mountain Lion ?

    Please, which is the latest iPhoto version compatible with Mountain Lion?
    I just updated my OS X to 10.8.5 and still have iPhoto '11 v9.2.3. I have been unable to find if there is a newer compatible version of iPhoto; while I know that iPhoto 9.5.1 is incompatible with Mountain Lion.

    Do you know where I can get it?
    If you have a version of iPhoto '11 installed, try the updater, that Terence Devlin linked to. If you do not already own a version iphoto '11, buy an installer disk from for iLife '11 from Amazon or eBay. You cannot download a full installer for free, only updates.

  • Is this latest version compatible with Windows 7 - 64 B

    Is this version compatible with Windows 7 - 64 Bit OS?

    Hello Bob,
    I tried to install quickbooks 2009/10 accounting on my pc and an error message 1603 appear something to do with microsoft net. framework. I am awaiting reply from the quickbooks support team.
    To my horror checking forums on this issue, I am not the only one with complaints about Quickbooks 2009/10 incompatibility with Win 7 64 bit and apparently poor customer support. I sincerely hope this is not true. I am worried my first investment as a small business owner is already a waste of cash. : (

  • FC Studio 2 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    H there,
    I am in the process of buying a new computer, upgrading from a G4. I use Final Cot Studio 2 (with FCP6) and wonder, if this is compatible with snow leopard. I tired to find an answer on this, but a lot of people seemed to have problems when they install snow leopard. In my case, it would be installing Final Cut from the CD's and them upgrading to the latest version. Ideally, I would like to wait and not buy FCP7 yet. Can anyone advice me on the compatibility?
    Many thanks,
    Anita

    From what I've read, it is important to install FCP 6 and all updates from the original install discs over a clean install of SL.
    Problems seem to arise with upgrade installs.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is Microsoft Office 2004 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I am just about to buy a new MacBook Pro and would like to transfer the Microsoft Office 2004 programme & all my Word/powerPoint/Excel files from my old MacBook (OS 10.4.11). One local vendor tells me MS2004 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and I have to spend c$250 to buy the Office 2008 version. Another says they are compatible and I can easily transfer. It is important to me as I need to use the Office for my work.
    1.Which is correct?
    2. And are there an significant advantages to the new 2008 Office version which would encourage me to upgrade and spend $250?

    Hi a:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I have been running Microsoft Office 2004 for quite awhile. On my system, it runs just fine. I use both Word and Excel and it does read PowerPoint presentations.
    I have read the posts on the Apple Store part of this site and have shied away from Office 2008 because of some negative feedback. Functionally, I could not see any difference from the written material. Since Office 2004 was working just fine, I did not buy the 2008 product.

  • Is my Imac compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Hi, I have been reading through the posts trying to find a solution for the strange things my computer is doing (or rather, NOT doing) since I installed Snow Leopard.
    I read that SL is not compatible with all machines... Could anyone tell me if my machine DOES qualify? Could an "incompatability" be the source of my computer strangeness?
    When I click on "About this Mac" I am told I have "Mac OS X Version 10.6" (but it does not specify which version of 10.6). Is that normal?

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT!!!

    Could an "incompatability" be the source of my computer strangeness?
    Most definitely. Quite a few applications & other kinds of software are compatible with one version of an OS but not with the next. Without a clue about what kind of "strangeness" you are experiencing, it is hard to make specific recommendations, but you should make sure everything you have installed that did not come from Apple is the most up-to-date version offered & known to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • Is iMovie '06 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I've read too many posts indicating difficulties with an upgrade to Snow Leopard but probably just as many from people who have had success. I'm always slow to update operating systems however it seems like more and more applications require Leopard (or SL) to run. I'm still on Tiger, love it, but am forced to upgrade in order to run current apps. My biggest concern is for iMovie 6.03 which I will never give up for the lame versions of imovie that succeeded it. So my question is, is iMovie 6.03HD compatible with Snow Leopard or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?

    I see you have not yet marked your topic "Answered", so perhaps you are hoping for other input.

    It works fine on both my Snow Leopard (SL) Macs.
    ... or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?
    As concerned as you are, and as important as iMovie6 seems to be to you, unless you must use some of the new apps or OS features that require upgrading, you might be better served by continuing to use your existing and proven reliable Tiger OS.
    Your next Mac will come with the OS that maximizes its performance. Until then, you save at least $169(US), and keeping the Tiger OS that you KNOW works eliminates all of you worries.
