Can't re-install Logic 8 on OS 10.8

I recently lost a macbook which was running 10.8 and Logic Pro 8. I replaced it with a MacBook Pro (running 10.8) and restored from Time Machine. Logic opens fine, but a lot of the plugins and other audio content are missing. I can't reinstall the Audio Content or Jam Packs without running the Logic install disk first, and PowerPC is no longer supported.
Any advice on how to install all the audio/jam packs content without having to buy a new copy of Logic?

Hi
If you have Disk Images of all of the Installer disks, mount all of them, then run the *individual* installer packages via Pacifist NOT the mpkg.

  • Can I re install logic after I purchased it  from the app store?

    can I re install logic after I purchased it from the app store? They say you can, but it won't allow me. Finally got logic pro 9 loaded. I recorded a test session,saved it,closed logic and when I went to re open logic the next day. My Logic icon was different ( it was the application icon not the silver record icon ) and I am unable to open my session or go to the app store to re install it. I can't find logic pro anywhere in my folders other than the application icon and that won't open.

    anybody answer me fast

  • I can't re-install Logic Pro 9 in the same laptop because serial number is invalid?

    I can't re-install Logic Pro 9 in my laptop again because the serial number is invalid? help?

    1) Check you are imnputing the serial number correctly (zeros instead of ones etc..)
    2) If your version of LP9 is the upgrade version then you must first enter the original Logic Po 8 full version serial and then the Logic Pro 9 upgrade serial...
    Failing that.... contact Apple for a replacement serial....

    I call it that because I thought that was what SD termed it.  When I open any of the backup files, they mount like a disk image so, to me, that's what it is.  Sorry if my terminology confused things.

    Can you boot your Mac from the drive?  If so, it's just a normal clone, not a disk image.
    I believe so.  (However, it's a ML system and all the other computers in the house, except the dead one, still run Snow Leopard.)  In any case, the file is a sparse bundle.

    If so, your solution is easy -- use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up.  Select From Another Disk when asked if you want to Transfer your data.  See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for the gory details. It can transfer everything but OSX -- apps, user accounts and data, settings, etc.  It's similar to Migration Assistant, but avoids some possible problems.
    That sounds ideal.  However, my Master Plan ran into a snag late yesterday.  I tried to create a backup (using SD) to get the latest stuff into an image, but SD gave an error message when it encountered one of the files (the Parallels app, which happens to be the very app that we're most keen to migrate over intact.  The error message (using AAA and BBB in place of the full paths) read:
    Error copying /Volumes/AAA to /Volumes/BBB of type 8 due to error 7: Argument list too long
    The file in question is one of the files internal to the Parallels app itself
    (Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher)
    so I don't know if I have options to work around this and have SD go to completion.  SD aborted when it hit that error.
    I have a couple of days to play around with this, to try to get a more recent backup.  Otherwise, I'll have to ponder the alternatives.
    Thanks for the good discussion and tips!

  • How can I re-install logic pro 9.1.1 if i don't like using 9.1.4? i get a "your computer doesn't need this update" message

    I wonder how to re-install logic pro 9.1.1 if i don't like using 9.1.4 (when i duplicate a track the sound of the whole project disappear, I also have issues with the reverse fonction, there s no sound coming out of the track? when I try to re install the 9.1.1 i get a "your computer doesn't need this update" message

    You would probably have to use a time machine backup if you have one.
    This probably isn't a bright idea :
    Can you uninstall Logic.
    Reinstall it.
    And when you search for updates, only install 9.1.1 ?

  • Can't I install Logic or FCP on external FW 800?

    Both programs are huge and I get a RED ! and the external HD was recently formatted for OSX journalized.....Or at least put all the samples and garage band and EX libraries and Drum module samples there.
    Is there a way to install LOGIC onto external HD? In the future it will be two LACIES with FIRMTECH esata RAID config.
    Thanks

    Then installers shouldn't keep insisting that they can only install on to the main drive
    Some do, some don't (as you've discovered, LOL!). I agree, for what it's worth.
    RE: storing documents and the like on an external drive....
    I do!
    How large is your system hard drive? What were you able to remove to make room for Logic if you keep all your documents and the like on external drives?
    I do know --- but again, very difficult to do if the installer insists on putting everything on your main drive....you then have to figure out what it put where, etc....it's not too bad for a program that wants a Gig or two, but Logic wants 46Gb....surely whoever wrote the installer should have understood this up front and allowed you to pick where you wanted to save samples from the beginning!
    It's only difficult for those not interested in (or too lazy to) maintaining a well running system. If that is important to you, then the simple act of finding and moving large groups of files wouldn't be an issue. It IS what all the pros do. Only takes a couple of hours.
    Adobe CS3 is a pretty large package (not like Logic) but Adobe lets you install the entire thing wherever you want, on ANY drive ---- so why not Logic?
    I'm only speculating, but I know from experience that Logic won't update if not in the place the installer puts it (the Applications folder). Even if it is in another folder in the application folder, it won't work with the updates. I agree that the installer should let you install the content anywhere, but since it doesn't, we have to deal with it. As someone that is obviously interested in music (enough to purchase Logic anyway), you should always be on top of where all your files are. And there will be tens of thousands.
    (not the sample instrument though),
    Why not? Poor programming of the software? I can understand that kernel extensions MIGHT have to be on the startup drive if all kernel extensions are loaded before other file systems, but Unix-based platforms have the ability to present a unified logical file system, combining all drives together. So what has Apple done that makes the "startup" drive so special?
    I have no idea "why not." They just don't. I do know what Apple does to make the "startup" drive so special, but if I told you....you know.
    In fact, I need to mention you NEED to have at least 15%
    Red herring - in fact swap files can be moved.
    No it isn't. I've replaced plenty of drives that were full, but the owner did nothing about it. They lost all their files. I've also trouble-shooted (trouble-shot? LOL!) plenty of issues that are directly related to how full the drive is.
    Swap files can only be moved if there is a place to move them to. If there isn't, there's a good chance the OS will over-write some existing files. And that's what they call, "bad."
    Hope that clears things up!

  • When installing Logic Pro 8, "skip" is enabled/greyed out on Logic Pro Box

    Hey all
    I'm trying to install Logic Pro 8 for the first time on on iMac, however when i get to the custom install options, the "skip" box next to Logic Pro is enabled, and greyed out, and i can't change it, therefore i can't actually install Logic. I can install main stage, compressor etc, but not logic.
    Any ideas? I have no trace of previous installations on my system as its never been installed with this set up of snow leopard, but i have double checked everywhere in my prefs, application support etc.
    I'm confused and its very frustrating!

    Use Pacifist to install it manually.

  • 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

  • How many Macs can you install Logic Express on?

    I upgraded to LE 7.1 from the Logic Audio 5/6 Big Box. I needed the XSKey to authorize the LE 7.1 upgrade -- I'm wondering, how many installations of LE 7.1 does it allow? Just for utility's sake it would be useful to install it on a desktop and a laptop, for instance.
    As the XSKey still has authorizations for those previous Big Box versions, I presume I could still install Logic 5 and 6 on as many machines as I wanted, I'd just have to always have the XSKey plugged into the particular one I wanted to use at that time...right?

    The agreement can be found here
    http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf
    Section 2 first para
    Simply you can install it on one laptop and one desktop (See the para for specifics) at the same time, but you can only use on one of these at a time.
    You cannot therefore have the same license on two laptops, you need two copies.
    How does it check? No idea. I don't have two apple computers.

  • How can I install logic 9 on new mac 10.8

    how can I install logic 9 on new macBook pro 10.8?
    My Cd rom shows Logic 7 and on the old mashine (MacBook white 10.6) I have Logic pro 9.
    My MacBook pro 10.8 does't accept the Cd Rom...
    Regards
    Paul

    Kerrse,
    ...and it's content?
    While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
    However, worth giving a try.....

    How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

    It's in your Logic Studio license agreement:

    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.
