Can't open Logic Pro 8 (or earlier) files

I just installed Logic Pro 9 and if I double click on one of my Logic Pro 8 composition projects, it launches Logic Pro 9 but doesn't open the file. Has anyone else had this problem?
(I can open the projects up by launching Logic Pro 9 and selecting File > Open but always found it much quicker and more intuitive to do it the other way.)
Even if I save a piece as a Logic Pro 9 project, double-clicking on the file won't open it... Any ideas?

I found a strange thing:
Logic is closed. In Finder double click on logic project file. Logic opens. The project does not appear.
Choose File > New...
Immediately close the New window.
The original file you wanted to open now begins to open in Logic.

  • Can't open Logic Pro after having installed Mountain Lion

    After having installed Mountain Lion I can't find Logic Pro (the latest version) back in my programs. I do still find all of my sessions. Trying to open a session a "Basic Content Download" starts. Just before the end of the download the computer asks for my password. After I've typed it and pressed enter the download stops.
    This means I can't open any of my sessions.
    What should I do?
    Thanks for any advice.

    If you used the Mountain Lion installer it will have "migrated" your iWork software to the new system.
    Unfortunately that doesn't always work properly. I had to reinstall mine from the original DVD.
    If you can't find your DVD then you will have to purchase the iWork software individually from the Mac Store.
    Just make sure to completely uninstall your existing iWork from your System first:

  • Can't Open Logic Pro

    You may want to re-post in the Logic Pro forum, my guess is that is a more likely venue to get some help.
    Good luck.

  • HT5809 How can I open Logic Pro X without any bus sends assigned?

    Hi, I was used to work in Logic Pro 9 with my channel strip clean for every track and work my way through depending on my project, but using Logic Pro X every time I open it or any track, it comes with 2 bus sends and I don't want this to happen, how can I solve this? thanks!

    When I load an Audio or Software Instrument track there is 1 unused send on the Channel Strip in my Track Inspector and/or 2 in the Mixer view. They are unassigned which is good and no problem, they are ready to be used.  They only get autofilled if I select a "Patch" from the Library.  If you've opened a project from a Template, it likely has a Patch already assigned to a track/channel strip.

  • Can't open Premiere Pro 6.0 file in PP CS6

    I have a Premiere project I created ages  ago in Premiere Pro v 6, and I'm trying to open it in PP CS6. I've tried opening it through Windows Explorer (both double clicking, and right-click > Open with PP). I've also tried using the Open dialog in PP, but PP doesn't even see it. I'd really like to be able to edit it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Did you mean Premiere v6? Then you may need to first convert to Premiere Pro 1.5, then to CS3 and then to CS6

  • Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files

    As the title reads "Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files" - any ideas? Logic just says files were created by a newer Logic pro version, they were created with GrarageBand not logic so I don't know.

    If you upgraded Logic to the latest version (9.1.4) you might be able to open them, in fact I think you can. Garageband is a subset of Logic, so the message you're seeing in Logic is correct.

  • Every time i try to open logic pro 9 this box opens to download basic content that logic wants to update. i tried 3 times, and it does finish, but when i go to open logic again, box reappears. Can anyone tell me how to fix?

    Can anyone help me? Every time i try to open logic pro 9 i get a box telling me logic wants to download a 2G basic content download, but even when it completes, on trying to open Logic it re-appearres and I cant get into Logic.Doesn't appear in downloads, very confusing!!

    Try manually downloading and then installing the additional content using this link instead....
    http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
    Note: For anyone else reading this.. This link is for the additional content for Logic Pro 9 and not for Logic Pro X.
    Remember to quit Logic Pro 9 prior to installing any additional content files.
    If you find you have problems downloading the files from this link you may need to also use JDownloader 2 beta to help you...
    http://jdownloader.org/download/offline
    Despite the warning notice that it is a Beta product, it works very well... Just remember you have to install Java first, if you haven't done so already.

  • 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.

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion and can't open Logic Express,How do you fix?

    Wouldn't let me open 9.1.7 upgrade before because I didn't have Mountain Lion, and now I can't open Logic 9.0.0 to put the upgrade on.

    Check this site:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table/tags/_l/index_tags/_l
    Shows some problems with Logic Pro 9 in ML (Logic express appears fine).
    Just a wild guess: Is the installer of your version a PowerPC App? I have Final Cut Express - it is universal, but the installer is PPC and I can't use it to install. As a workaround, I have a working Snow Leopard partition and copied every file from there onto the same location on ML - it works fine. That assumes you know where all the files are located.

  • 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!

    Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
    All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

    Hi
    To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
    For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
    a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
    b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

  • Can't load Logic Pro X loops.

    I can't get my Logic loops to appear in FCP X 10.1.1
    I have repeatedly opened Logic Pro X and FCP X and also trashed the preferences to no avail.
    Dragging the "Logic" folder to the FCP X music browser does no good as not even a + sign will appear.
    I'm desperate as I have a vital deadline in 5 minutes!

    OK I've got a result but it's left my Music and Sound browser looking very untidy.
    I couldn't get Logic to load itself and eventually had to drag my Apple Loops folder into the top part of the window (which I had forgotten existed as it was hidden) where it is now residing as a Folder, which can be deleted if I wish.
    Unfortunately there are a number of items listed such as Garageband and Logic etc. which are not folders but are empty and I cannot delete these.
    Is there any way of deleting items that are not actually Folders?

  • Recovering Logic Pro 8 Project files

    I have been trying to recover my accidentally deleted Logic Pro 8 project files for over a week now I have been using Data Rescue II and File Salvage all I can find is my old Logic 7 Project files and some audio files. How do I find Logic Pro 8 project files?
    I rang Apple today and the 'Expert' had no clue of the software I was using to recover deleted files or how to go about finding them, Please could anyone help. I have barely used the computer since as I don't want it to overwrite the trashed files.
    I have realised that Logic no longer uses the .lso extension and is a bundled folder when I go show package contents there is a folder and within this folder there are two files when I search all of these file sin the data recovery software they only retrieve the files that have not been deleted which is not helpful.
    Please help!

    I was waiting for some ******* to respond to my post with a lecturing. Thanks for not disappointing me Christian.
    I back up all 4 of my internal drives several times a day with SuperDuper. I also back up off site with Carbonite.com It's saved me from hard drive failure once. This is the first time in over a decade that I cannot find a file that I suspect I deleted by accident. That's a pretty good track record. I'm doing the best that I can with what I have.
    Now here's a strategy for you to keep you "on the clever side" Christian: If you don't have a solution to a problem posted on here, don't bother posting your judgmental and arrogant ******** without knowing the entire situation of the person who's asking for help.

  • How can I reset Logic Pro 9 in my iMac 'cos i eraser some presets effects in  mastering list? I need to use again.

    How can I reset Logic Pro 9 in my iMac 'cos i eraser some presets effects in  mastering list? I need to use again.

    You can't, I think. But you can open an old project where it was used, or if you know somebody else with logic, you can ask a copy of the presets and then manually drop them where they belong. What is missing exactly and how did you erase the presets?
    Have a nice day!
