Can't open Logic. Please help.

My Macbook crashed about a week ago. I took it to an Apple repair centre to have it fixed. Before I did that, I backed up my HD using Target Disk Mode with my other mac as the host. Now my MacBook is fixed, and I restored the system (using Target Disk Mode again, erase what was on the hard drive on the MacBook, then I copied everything on my backup drive onto the MacBook hard drive. But it couldn't start up, so I reinstalled Leopard using the option which keeps the previous files).
Now my problem is, although it looks like the system is my old system, when I open Logic Pro 8, it asks me to input the serial number again. Also, my QuickTime Pro now becomes the rubbish QuickTime Player. The thing is I can't find the serial number for Logic Studio 8, nor the installation disks. They are in my other home, which I won't go back for another 3 months. So my question is: is there any way I can get a new serial number from Apple, or any other way that lets me use Logic again?

I would call Apple, explain the situation and see if they can help you. Maybe also bring it back to the service center and walk them through your steps to restore your disk, etc.
Good luck!

  • Can't open itunes, PLEASE HELP!

    When I try to open my iTunes this is the message that I get. I have been having horrible times with this program. I haven't been able to get it to work at all and have tried everything. I also haven't been getting responses for help. Please help me.
    It will not let me repair it, uninstall it or change it. I am totally locked out of iTunes.

  • I downloaded CS6 on Windows 7 - Windows can't open it - Please help.

    I dowloaeded CS6 on Windows 7, and indeed, it took a long time.  (I have a feeling that Windows shut down or hibernated automatically overnight and interferred.)  The file downloaded under this file name:  "MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.crdownload" and when I tried to open it Windows gave me this page:
    Windows has the following information about this file type. This page will help you find software needed to open your file.
    File Type: Unknown
    Description: Windows does not recognize this file type.
    You may search the following Web site for related software and information:
    Search the web
    How do I fix this?  It seems, after clicking on the "search the web" link that it was a partially downloaded file.  Please help.
    Additionally, I am downloading this because I accidentally wiped my hard drive clean (I thought I was fixing it) and am having to download all my progam hoping my key is still valid.  THANK YOU.

    Hi annarepublic78,
    As per the above mentioned error, your Win CS6 download was not complete, either it was in process or was interrupted. This is the only reason you see the MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.crdownload. Here .crdownload means the download is in process.
    Please try to download it again on the Desktop and please make sure that the download completes successfully(without the .crdownload extension).
    Regards,

  • Can not open itunes please help!!!

    Is any one getting this error message, " Quicktime failed to initialize ( Error-2096) Quicktime is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install itunes agian)
    Now mind you Quick time starts up fine, I have no issues with that, but when I click on the itunes tab that error comes up. I have done everything I know but still can not get itunes to work, I have uninstalled quicktime and itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing, I am running windows XP Media Center Edition, service pack 3. Please some one help me, thank you.

    Even though the following article is about the -2096 when launching the QuickTime Player, I'd start with it for your iTunes as well:
    [Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875]
    (If you do end up having to check the iTunes.exe compatibility mode tab too, be sure that no boxes in that tab are checked, not just the compatibility mode tab itself.)

  • Can't open folders, please help :(

    Well it appeared couple of weeks ago, I thought it's my USB problem, but after I tried to open folder on Mac I had the same problem.
    So basically this is what happens:
    When I open any folder, lets say "folder one" and it contains some files and folders, lets say "folder two" I can open any files or folders inside of the "folder one". "folder two" sometimes is invisible and becomes visible only when I starting to move everything in folder (everything what I can't actually see), after they appears, but the names of folders and files sometimes just in black square, sometimes in black lines, sometimes has very very black shadow(not like the usual one). After I wait for an hour and open and close "folder one" eventually I can open and see files, but it feels like it gets worse and worse... Is there any chance to do something without reinstalling?
    Thank you!!

    Incidentally, another thing I did was expand one of the offending folders in List view in my Documents folder, so I actually can't even open my Documents folder in Finder. In other words, say I had a folder in my Documents folder called "Pix". In the List view of the Documents folder, I clicked the arrow next to "Pix" and since that expanded "Pix," which I can't seem to open, it shut down the Finder window. So now whenever I try to open my Documents folder, it shuts down the window, since it's also trying to open the (expanded) "Pix" folder. A stopgap measure for un-expanding that folder would also be appreciated, if anybody has any smart ideas.
    Thanks.

    Just did a Search on my laptop (does not have PSE, but does have Photoshop CS2), and here are the gdiplus.dll's, that I have:
    Note: while I have gdiplus.dll in several Adobe programs, such as AfterEffects, Bridge, Illustrator and PremierePro, I did not find one in Photoshop. There are also some in Windows (XP-Pro SP3 in my case).
    There is one file, that I did a strikeout on, as it contained the search string, but was not the .dll file, that we are talking about here.
    Good luck, and hope that helps you track down that .dll on your system.

    Jerricayoung,
    you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

    There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you.  If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.
