Can't install Logic Studio 9 on clean install of Mavericks due to "powerpc applications not supported" error message

Hello -
I've recently performed a clean install of Mavericks on my MBP. I then attempted to install Logic Studio but was met with the error message "You can't open the application "LogicStudio.mpkg" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Mavericks was installed as an upgrade prior to the clean install, and at that time Logic Studio functioned normally. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Logic 9 or 8?
There is a bug in the installer program of Logic that makes Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks think that it is PowerPC.
Best solution would have been to install Logic BEFORE you upgraded to Mavericks, but before you backup, wipe and start all over, try to use Pacifist to install it and please report back.

After installing Firefox 4.0 when trying to print get "Prop Res Dll not loaded" error message. I have a Dell A960 printer.

Installed Firefox 4.o now when I try to print and click on "properties" I get error message "Prop Res DLL not loaded". I have a Dell Printer A960. Never had this problem before so how do I fix this? I don't know that much about computers so please make it simple as I'm not that literate when it comes to complex computer fixes. thanks

See this [http://www.google.com/search?q=Prop+Res+Dll+not+loaded&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Google search] for a "fix".
Here's a Firefox bug that was filed a few months ago. <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649128 <br />
Looks like a problem caused by Lexmark print drivers doing a strange installation (Lexmark makes some of the Dell branded printers). Mozilla isn't going to revert the way Firefox looks for print drivers due to security concerns.
See if you can follow the fix posted here: <br />

CS4 install problem "you cannot run...architecture not supported" error

Just received my copy of CS4 (Mac) from amazon.com. Installed it. But could not get it to run. Got a "You cannot run....architecture not supported" error message. Can't understand why? This is my first version of Photoshop CS. Didn't install CS3...etc. Nor did I previously install the "master" edition. And I am running a MBP 2.5GHz laptop. So it has to be software related. A corrupt file perhaps?
I also cannot install Adobe AIR. Suddenly 3 windows pop up. Telling me I can't install AIR.
Not happy. Expensive software not running. Not good. :P What gives???
Please help me soon!

Where were you yesterday Buko?? :) Where would one find the "CS4 Cleanscript" any how? Would have been nice if you provided a link. Heh...
Any how. Last night. I did d/l the trial version of CS4 Extended. Installed it. Then read the READ.ME file. Stresses that you MUST use their uninstall program. That you can't simply drag the folder to the TRASH (or use AppDelete or AppZapper...as you would be doing the same thing pretty much). So, I used Adobe's CS4 uninstaller. Did a very thorough job of removing the right files.
I managed to sucessfully install my copy of CS4. I even got the proper SETUP dialogue box this time (6 tabs). Previously only 3 tabs were visible. This one asks you to input your serial # and even register before you finish.
Now I see the blue PS folder icon. Have copied a few PS program icons to my dock. Working now as it should.
Moral of the story? Read the READ.ME file!! And use proprietary uninstall programs for huge complicated programs like PS CS4. :) Later guys.

How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

Ok so i recently bought my first ever iMac.
And i installed logic studio on it, but I am considering a Mac Pro because honestly; i love my iMac but i kind of just want this imac for 'personal' things (movies, music, family photos, videos ect.)
and I want a Mac Pro just for logic and any other PRO apps I buy later on. So i was wondering if anyone can help me with the question i have;
How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

It's in your Logic Studio license agreement:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. This License does not allow the Apple Software to run on more than one computer at a time.

Yes
The licence details depend on how you originally purchased Logic. The original (DVD) licence allows for you to have Logic installed on 2 computers, provided that you do not use both at the same time.
The Appstore Licence allows you to install on any computer that you own. See this article for a simple guide

The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion. Use the program Pacifist to install it.

Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.

Logic Studio won`t install on my new iMac

When I try to install Logic Studio on my new iMac, it just stops and say "Unknown failure detected" and the whole process is interrupted.
Does anyone know why?
I have installed Logic Studio with the same serialnumber on my MacBook Pro....

As the error states correctly: your computer is new, has an Intel CPU and Lion. You were using a version of Logic released in Feburary 2006 - 5 years old. That one can't run on a different CPU, new OS version, new hardware.
Time to get an upgrade:

Apples upgrades don't require to install older versions, clean install, just the old serial number/XSKey is needed for the installation.

TS2565 Help me install Logic Studio Pro on OS Lion 10.7.3

I am having an issue installing Logic Studio. I have Lion 10.7.3 and when I click on the Logic Pro icon it says that you can not run on this OS. It says Logic Pro is 9.1.1 I tried updating to 9.1.7 but then it says I need Logic 9.0 or higher. Help!!!

I also have this same problem. Can't install either Logic or FCP7 onto my Lion systems. I tried running under 32bit mode and the same luck. The problem with this is that it works when the software has been installed before the Lion os X upgrade, however if you make do a clean install of Lion then both Logic and FCP7 hang after putting in the serial number.... WHAT A PAIN as now I can't use either products!!!!

Need to make space in my Hard drive to install Logic Studio Upgrade

ok. Here's my problem:
I have a 1st generation Mac Book Pro. That means 100Gb of storage.
I've been using it for professional audio recording since then with Logic Pro (6 or 7 I think) and I made necessary upgrades when they were available in both Mac book and Logic. So, now my Mac has 2.16 GHz processor, 2GB memory RAM and is running Mac OS X 10.6.3
When it comes to Logic, I am in Logic 8, trying to make the last upgrade of Logic Studio but looks like there's no more space available on my laptop. At this point, I moved any other data that I don't need. My Hard drive is almost full of a data that most of it supposedly needs to be replaced or skipped. I'm talking about additional content of audio coming on Jam Pack, etc... The installation program allow me to put some of the data in other hard drives (about 22.68 GB) but still is not enough.
Is there any way to solve this? May be uninstalling programs and data that later will be installed again with my upgrade? I don't want to make a mess before asking.
Probably is time to get a new computer. If this is the only option please somebody tell me! but if is not, I refuse to spend the money. My laptop is working fine...
Thank you
Fran

Well, first i would decide what you need the computer for. If you use iPhoto and iTunes, maybe moving the libraries to external HD may free up a significant amount of HD space.
Also, look for apps you don't need anymore, look for ancient data that can be zipped&archived away. That's a lot of work, but is worth the time, because you get to know what really is on your HD. I have so many small apps&tools lying around on my HD clogging space, but in fact i only used them once or twice in a lifetime, so better delete them.
BTW: Make sure you have enough space on your HD not only to install Logic studio but have some extra GB's for the OS to shuffle data around. No OS likes a full HD.
My strong suggestion would to give your Macbook to a trustworthy Mac store where they install a bigger HD and copy everything over to the new one.

Unable to Install Logic Studio

I am trying to install Logic Studio and am failing every time.
I have a Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz with 1.25 mb Ram running OSX 10.4.10
I am able to start the installation, choose the location of the install, and select which components I'd like to install. I have decided to limit the install to only Logic Pro and leave out all the other programs as my harddrive doesn't have the space.
So according to that, only two items are checked. Logic Pro, and Apple Loops Utility under Tools. It's telling me that it requires 5.7 GB harddrive space, which I have. I click upgrade and type in my password. It installs Logic Pro, installs Logic Node, and when it tries to move on to Logic Utility (or something like that, the screen changes too quickly) it goes to 3% and gives me an error.
Then it tells me to "please try installing again"
I've tried installing logic node separately but it still doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong? Normally I'm ok with computers, but i guess only on PC's. Macs are a new world to me.
I just realized I only have Garageband 2. Is it because I don't have Garageband 8?

Maybe this is inapropriate but I once got very lucky by just cleaning the DVD which was full of finger prints, After I cleaned it...It worked.
Like must of us I have a lot of experience being frustrated, even the most knowlegable among us get frustrated at time.
What I would do is proceed in a mechanical way step by step (computers hate this)
1. Clean DVD,
2. Seat down and read the install procedure.
3. Disk Utility, Startup disk>Verify and Repair disk permission
2. Trash Logic Pro 8, Sound Track Pro, Main Stage and Garage Band (Save GarageBand Files
somewhere else if you need too)
3. Go toFinder > Empty Trash
4. re-install The absolute minimum (No Node dont need this yet) (Maybe you're forced to it I dont
remember) but if you have the choice the answer is always NO
5. Proceed slowly reading carefully all instructions.
6. Repeat 1-5. If this dont work Maybe you have deficient DVD's it Happen (It happen to me)
Honestly Your system seams to be bare bone minimum to run Logic Pro 8. Maybe Logic has out grow it.
Best of luck

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
or...
You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

Major Logic Studio 9 Upgrade install issues

I tried to install Logic Studio 9 upgrade today and there are a lot of problems. For one, Compressor 3.5 did not install, leaving me with 3.0.5. Quartermaster also did not update, leaving me with 3.0.5 of that as well. Soundtrack is at version 3.0.1.
The Logic Studio 9 Installer just keeps Soundtrack and Compressor grayed out, so I can't do anything about that. I followed the instructions on the Knowledge Base article about the iLife 11 conflict, but that didn't make any difference.
I also cannot log into the updates page on Apple's web site here (http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/download/). I have tried my Logic Studio 8 serial number and the serial number from my Logic Studio 9 Upgrade, and it just keeps telling me that they are invalid numbers. I have tried them with and without the dashes. The LS9 Upgrade installer accepted my serial numbers no problem, and I sent the registration to Apple. I'm totally baffled as to why the web page is denying me access.
I have spent HOURS on just trying to get this software installed properly, and I have never seen such a mess. I wish I could just uninstall everything and start over but they don't even include an uninstaller. So at this point I have no clue how to get access to the support page since it's denying my serial numbers and it's not letting me update Compressor or Quartermaster (but everything else seems to have updated). It also keeps EX24 synth grayed out.
I know this is a mess of a post but I've been trying to get this going for hours and hours and am exhausted and frustrated. Thanks for any advice.

Ok, for some reason the Apple Support site is accepting my serial number okay, but it seems what's available as far as downloads is out of date compared to the software update tab.
It seems my biggest problem remaining is just that I have Qmaster 3.0.5 and Compressor 3.0.5 which did not get updated to 3.5 (and then upped to 3.5.3 each with the ProApp Update 2010-02).
I have never had Final Cut, any version, installed so it can't be that, and the iLife 11 "forget pkg" solution from the Knowledge Base didn't work. So what gives? How can I get Compressor and Quartermaster installed?

Newly installed logic studio won't launch on my macbook pro

I just installed Logic Studio on my macbook pro (core 2) and it crashes before it can launch all the way. could this be a conflict with my protools LE software, or Reason? any ideas? thanks.

Have you downloaded the .01 update for LP8? That should improve things a fair bit. Don't know about the MBox2; might want to their website on that one.
Cheers
