Can't install logic studio on my Intel iMac

I have logic pro 7.2 installed on my intel iMac, which now runs maverics. However I now want to install my logic studio upgrade but I get an error saying that power pc applications are no longer supported. How do I get logic studio on my machine which clearly should work as it is built for intel macs when Logic pro 7.2 runs fine!

The following thread contains the method that uses Pacifist to achieve an installation of older Logic Pros on a Mac with more modern OS X versions when the installer no longer works...
I am assuming the LS upgrade is to LP8?

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.

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.

How do i install Logic Studio on my new iMac without CDD?!

Hi!
I'm getting my new iMac 21,5" delivered tomorrow, and i want to install Logic Pro the first thing i do. But, the thing is i bought the Logic Studio a few years ago, and i got the software on CD! Now, how do i do to install it on my iMac? Is there a way to register my product on App Store and then download it? I'm not so hyped on buying the software again on App Store or buying an external disk drive ONLY to install Logic! :/ Please help me out!
Thank You,
Tomas

You have to buy the USB SuperDrive, but if you have an older Mac, you can use Remote Disc to install it

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.

Need 2 install Logic Studio 9 Audio content & Jam Packs?

Have Logic Studio 9: didn't have enough space to download extras originally (i.e., Audio Content & Jam Packs). Have now upgraded to 500 Gb HD for 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and have tried to install Logic Studio again (The logic Pro; Logic Node; MainStage; and WaveBurner seem to have installed OK - at least they show up in Applications folder) When it comes to installing Studio Content the Studio Content disk install process gets hung up at the end of the downloading. A message window pops up saying: The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. The Logic Studio software is registered to me and has a Support ID: I6941D2H41H. It is frustratingly difficult to find anywhere that I can contact tech support related to this Logic Studio issue. I would simply like to be able to get the included Audio Content and the Jam Packs from the Logic Studio Suite installed on my MacBook Pro. I would appreciate some response and help to be able to get the application data so that I can fully install the whole Apple Logic Studio program ASAP. A further suggestion is that a means of contacting support for such related issues be instituted. Anyone know how to get the corrupted Audio Content & Jam Packs for downloading?

Firstly you are Not addressing Apple here... This is a User to User Forum...
That said... Give Apple Care a Call... Tell them you are a Logic Pro User and you should be transferred to a Logic Expert...
Explain your situation to them...
Make sure you have your Serial Number and Date of Purchase handy...

How can I install logic pro 7.2 (made for power pc) on a brand new Macbook pro?

How can I install logic pro 7.2 (made for power pc) on a brand new Macbook pro with OSX 10.7.4?
This message appears: You can't open the aplication LogicPro.mpkg because power pc aplications are no longer compatible.
Thanks folks

You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

Can you install logic express on more than one computer

can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

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.

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.....

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

Installing logic 7 on new Intel to install LP9 Upgrade?

I just purchased a new Mac Pro 2.93GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon (Nehalem) after my G5's logic board died.
I bought (a few months back) my LP9 upgrade discs and know that the LP9 upgrade needs to see an older version of Logic on the computer for it to install. Can I even install logic 7 on my new intel mac running snow leopard so that i can then run the LP9 upgrade discs?
Thanks!
d.

Hmm, that was not the case for me....
I tried installing the LP9 upgrade on my macbook which does not have any version of Logic on it and even though I connected my XS key I got the following error message:
+"Your Logic XSKey is not eligible for this upgrade. Please refer to the upgrade requirements for details."+
My copy of LP7 is not the "Academic" and it is not the "+Not-For-Resale (NFR)"+ versions. I was told by some reps at apple that the LP9 upgrade discs do in fact need an earlier version of Logic to run the updater.
Tomorrow my new Mac Pro 2.93GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon (Nehalem) arrives and I fear I'll have to first install Logic 7 before I can install the LP9 upgrade..... that is if I can even install Logic 7 on the new machine running snow leopard.
Thanks!
d.
Any help would be greatly apprecia
