Can I use Logic 9 on a G5 with Leopard

Is anyone using Logic 9 on a G5 Quad-core with Leopard? I have been told by tech support that it won't work, but I have heard from other people that it will. Before I buy it, I would just like to make sure it will run. Any feedback would be helpful.
Thanks

There are several people on this forum who are currently running Snow Leopard on their G5. If Apple says you can't do it, that just means they haven't put the time and resources into testing it. I just talked to Logic technical support and he told me that Logic 9.0 will not run on my G5. Yet, you say it will. So forgive me for questioning the validity of your statement. I was just wondering if anyone out there is actually using it.

  • Can I use Classic on a G4 with Leopard?

    I have a bunch of old mid-90s games that I desperately would like to play on my newer G4 with 10.5.  It's my understanding from my searching that Macs ceased compatibility upon hitting Leopard, but I think people are using "Leopard" as a catch-all to describe not just 10.5, but G5 Intels too.
    Apparently Tiger (G4 PowerPC) was compatible with Classic Environment, and that's what I have, I just use Leopard on it.
    Semantics aside, I have an old G3 with 10.3 on it that lets me use Classic Environment to run OS 9 so I can play those old games and use Starcraft's StarEdit.  Thing is, it's a piece of crap next to my G4.
    I do not have ANY of the Mac Installation discs for Classic (or any OS for that matter, so I can't use any of the emulators like SheepShaver and what-not), but is there some way to transfer OS 9 and Classic Environment from my G3 to G4 so I can play this stuff?
    Is it even possible that they'd play with these things?

    Hi, MasterDogma -
    Just adding some info in correction -
    I know Leopard doesn't come with Classic, and I know the difference between operating systems and computers, that's my whole point.
    Not sure that's correct. When you said -
    Apparently Tiger (G4 PowerPC) was compatible with Classic Environment, and that's what I have, I just use Leopard on it.
    and
    ...but I think people are using "Leopard" as a catch-all to describe not just 10.5, but G5 Intels too.
    it indcates you may not.
    The terms "Tiger" and "Leopard" do not describe nor refer to any hardware or computer model. They are explicitly the names for different releases of the family of operating systems known as OS X: Jaguar = OS X 10.2; Panther = OS X 10.3; Tiger = OS X 10.4; Leopard = OS X 10.5; and Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.
    Just as important, there is no such thing as a G5 Intel machine. All Power Mac models, of which the G5 is one, use the PowerPC processor. When the Intel processor machines were released, the "G" designation ceased applying. For example, the Intel successor to the G5 desktop is called a Mac Pro; the Intel succssor to the PowerBook is the MacBook Pro.
    It does get a little fuzzy with the iMacs, since the iMac designation was retained for the Intel machines - hence the common usage of references like i3 and i5 to differentiate the Intel machines from the earlier G5, G4, and G3 models all of which use the PowerPC series of processors.

  • Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

    I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

    Hi, is  the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
    If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • Can you use logic express on a mac mini for recording

    Can i use logic exprees on a mac mini for recording? Ive seen alot of 8,12, and 16 track recorders with a cd burner and it seems like a logical and more productive gues for me to buy a macmini for the same thing of recording and then I can uses logic express, a far better program for recording. can the mac mini handle the load of processing tracks and how much ram should I uses? thanks tim

    sorry, I'd like to butt in here:

    Mac Mini
    1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
    2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB

    Glyph External HD 250 Gig
    Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
    Logic Pro 7.2

    Here is something I am most curious about...
    Firewire Hard drive
    Firewire Interface/mixer
    Firewire camera for FCP
    to much firewire?
    Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...

  • Can we use logical Operator in C:When  tag of JSTL

    Hi,
    I am developing an application in JSTL.
    I am using c:when tag. I have question whether can we use Logical OR operator in JSTL.
    I have tried using the following Syntax: The two bean fields have the value DISABLED
    <c:set var="testval" value = "${bean.val}" />
    <c:set var="testvalue" value ="${bean.value}" />
    Ex: <c:when test="${testval eq 'DISABLED'} or ${testvalue eq 'DISABLED'}">
    Ex: <c:when test="${(testval eq 'DISABLED') or (testvalue eq 'DISABLED')}">
    Ex: <c:when test="${testval eq 'DISABLED' or testvalue eq 'DISABLED'}">
    retrieving both these values from bean.
    The following syntaxes did not work.
    Please give me some pointers to resolve the issue.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    The entire expression including the 'or' has to be inside the ${}.
    What this has to do with error handling beats me.

  • Can I use a sata3 hard drive with a late 2009 imac

    Looks liker the hard drive in my five year old iMac is about to go belly up. Was getting hardware errors, very slow startup and Carbon Copy Cloner reported bad blocks during the backup. I want to buy a new HD at a local store and have the Apple store install it. Will they do that and can I use a SATA 3 drive with my older iMac?

    YEs you can use a SATA III drive but the Apple Store will not install it for you. Find an AASP and see if they'll install a drive for you.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.
