Getting a new MacBook Pro, Upgrade to Logic Studio 9?

Hey all. I'm getting a new Macbook Pro soon, and I was thinking of upgrading to Logic Studio 9. I own a legit retail edition copy of the previous Logic Studio (Pro 8), and I was thinking of just installing 9 on my new computer.
What things will I need to do this upgrade? I still have the original box, with the manuals. Including the one booklet that has the serial number stickers on it.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answers guys. It was running in my mind, especially this is the first time I'm doing a program upgrade like this. Thanks alot!

    When I connect my iPod touch to the new MacBook pro, I know that it has to re-format to the Mac format, but will the 2.0 upgrade wiped from the iPod during the format?

  • HT201250 Time Machine migrate to a new Macbook Pro and keeping Logic plugins

    So, I'm getting a new macbook pro (the latest 15" with the highest spec) and I'm looking to transfer everything using Time Machine, so that it's as if I'm still using the same machine. I use Logic 9 and I have hundreds of expensive plugins and I want to be sure that they will transfer across and I won't need to buy any of them again. I appreciate that some may have compatabiity issues, but that aside, will everything transfer as if I'm using the same machine and it will all be exactly the same?

    Hello there, micchaelfrombarnes.
    As per the article you were referred to us from, Time Machine should be able to restore your new MacBook  to be just like your current one:
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    Time Machine automatically backs up your entire Mac, including system files, applications, accounts, preferences, email messages, music, photos, movies, and documents.
    Additionally:
    Migrating a Time Machine backup to a new Mac
    When you get a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made. When you start up your new Mac for the first time, the Setup Assistant asks you if you would like to restore from backup. If you've already set up your new Mac, you can use theMigration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities) to do the same thing.
    After Migration Assistant completes the transfer and you select your existing Time Machine backup drive, you will be prompted with "Inherit Backup History". Once selected you will be able to continue to use your existing Time Machine backup on your new Mac.
    For a more detailed instruction on how to migrate the data from your Time Machine backup, refer to this article:

  • Can I get a new macbook pro under the warranty?

    Its been two months since I got my macbook pro. I got the newer 2011 version. Less than a month into getting it my keys started falling off and less than 2 months later my hard drive went out for no reason and I had to get it replaced. And now my other keys are all falling off too. I don't understand. I feel like I was sold a refurbished mac because everything keeps breaking. Do you think its better to just get a new macbook pro? Is that even possible? I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?

    If you have had this Mac for less then a year then the computer is still under warranty.
    I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?
    It depends. If you have applications set to launch when you startup the Mac, that can slow down the amount of time it takes to boot your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.

  • Getting a new Macbook Pro

    I am getting a new Macbook Pro and I don't know which one to get. I will either get the high-end 13" or the low-end 15". I am a high school student that will be running Photoshop Elements, Microsoft Office, and heavy Internet browsing, such as building a website using online building software. I will be doing a lot of graphic design as well. My main concern is will I suffer from portibility with the 15" or suffering from not getting the quad core processor with the 13". Which should I get?

    If you will be doing graphic design I would say get the 15 inch. Like you said it has a quad core processor and it has dedicated video processor/ram

  • Getting a new Macbook Pro, accidentally deleted songs off computer...

    I need an answer please!!

  • Getting a new MacBook Pro: HDD or SSD question

    Hey everyone!
    I'm about to get a new MacBook Pro, and there'sone problem I need a little help solving.
    I could either get a 500gb 7200rpm HDD at noextra charge, OR I could get a 128gb SSD for an additional $90. I'm slightlyleaning towards the SSD for the general reasons you've all probably heard aboutby now.
    Now let me just explain my reasoning here a bit. Ishould say beforehand that I already plan on getting a 1TB external USB drive,regardless of which internal drive I get. So space isn't really the issue.
    From what I understand, if I were to buy the MBPwith the 500gb HDD and just buy an SSD separately, that would total me around$220 (the price of a 128gb SSD nowadays). However, if I were to buy the laptopwith the SSD and then buy a 500 gb HDD at 7200 rpm, it would cost me $90 + $70= $160. So I'd be saving money by buying the SSD with the MBP it seems, noteven counting the fact that I could sell the SSD for a higher price than what Iactually bought it for!
    I know it sounds like I might already have myanswers, but I basically have three questions:
    1) Does that argument make sense to you? As in,is there anything I'm missing or not considering?
    2) Does anyone know what brand of SSD Apple shipsin MBP nowadays?
    3) I was planning on using my SSD for theOS/applications, and using the 1TB HDD for files/music/movies etc. Is that anideal setup or is there something I'm missing about that as well?
    I'd appreciate any helpful answers. Thanks!

    1 - Everyone has their own way of looking at it...
    2 - Toshiba but it can always change...
    3 - seems ok, iTunes might not really like to have all the files in an external drive but it seems ok...
    P.s.- 1TB will not be enough... LOL... try something bigger like a 3TB drive (think future friendly)

  • I cannot get my new macbook pro running off my home wifi? HELP

    I have my Mac desktop running off a dlink (Time Warner Cable) AirPort - BUT I cannot get my new macbook pro to even find this AirPort. It also wont connect as a wifi network. Everytime I try and enter the password it comes back with a connection timeout. What can I do to get macbook to recongnize my AirPort Base Station.

    If I open up the AirPort App - it only says that it cannot find my AirPort wireless device (probably because I dont have one) and then if I go to networks to connect to my wifi I select my home network and it ask me to input a password (as it should) but when I try to put in my password for my network it says "connection timeout" and the screen behind it (where the options for wifi or ethernet ext are) it says no ip address under wifi (also the status indicator is showing yellow - since my wifi is on just not connected to a network. I cannot seem to find any place to input my information for my specific router. Although I can connect to neighboring wifi routers just fine.

  • I have leopard and want to upgrade to lion. I have a macbook about 3 years old and wonder if I should just get a new macbook pro ($$$) instead. Is it worth the headache to upgrade to snow leopard and then lion? How does lion perform on an intel core duo 2

    I have a macbook about 3 years old running leopard. I amwondering ifitwouldbeworth the trouble to install snowleopardand then lion ($60.00) or just buy a new macbook pro ($$$$$$). How does lion perform on an intel core 2 duo processor?

    I have Lion installed on a Mini with a C2D processor. The same Mini has Snow Leopard on another partition and there is no noticeable difference in operational speed between the two OS's. But compared to my new MBPro 17" with a 2.83GHz i7, the Mini running Lion is noticeably slower. So if you can afford anew MBPro, then I would get it because you will probably be unhappy with the performance of Lion on the older MBPro. The other benefit of getting a new MBPro with Lion is that if you have any Power PC applications currently on the old MBPro, which will not operate in Lion, then you still have the ability to use them. Many users got stung by upgrading to Lion, only to find they could no longer use the older PPC applications.

  • New macbook pro upgrades for iwork 08

    I just got a new macbook pro and transfered all my files from my old mac. Was able to upgrade iworks but still seem to have the old version of iworks 08... Should i reset my computer? Thanks a million!

    That is up to you; personally, I am continuing to use the older versions as the new ones have several functionality losses (and am ignoring the new versions for now until some of the functionalities are added back in). Having choices is a good thing. You don't have to reinstall - you can simply delete the old versions if you like.

  • How do I get my New Macbook pro to sync with .mac account????

    I just purchased a new Macbook Pro to replace my Ibook G4 which had been successfully syncing on my .mac account with my Imac G5 desktop computer.
    The new Macbook Pro has Leopard while my G5 has Tiger. The salesperson told me that this would NOT be a problem at all. I configured the Ical to sync automatically in the preferences along with contacts and mail accounts. They both worked fine but the ICal does not sync.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Skip

    Thanks for your reply. Yes I did, several times. What finally happened is after about 18 hours, the syncing started to work. I think what happened was that the mac server must take some time for backing up or whatever and all of a sudden when it did, it synced....
    go figure.

  • HT3805 Installation of Aperture 3 on new Macbook Pro, upgraded trial version.

    Can I intstall Aperture 3 on my new macbook pro if I initially installed it on my current macbook pro using the trial version and product key?  The trial version of Aperture 3 is no longer offered on Apple's site.
    Thanks.

    Can you tell me if there is a way to look up my product key?
    You are welcome.
    You see the serial number in the "About" panel on your curent MacBook. In Aperture's main menu bar select: Aperture > About Aperture.
    You should have received the licence key by email, if you unlocked the Trial. Search your mail box, if you still have a copy of the email. I would archive it, in case you ever need a proof of purchase.
    Regards

  • Should I upgrade or get a new MacBook Pro?

    Here are the specs for my macbook pro I have now:
    Model Name:    MacBook Pro 17"
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro2,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:    2.33 GHz
      Number Of Processors:    1
      Total Number Of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache (per processor):    4 MB
      Memory:    2 GB
      Bus Speed:    667 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:    MBP21.00A5.B08
      SMC Version:    1.14f5
    MacBook OS X  Version 10.4.11
    We got it in February of 2007 and I'm just not sure what we should do.  Does anyone have a ballpark idea of what it may cost me to upgrade if I bring it into an Apple store?  is it worth it?  It still runs well, it's just getting annoying that the newer apps (and iTunes) won't work with this version. Luckily also have a Windows vista desktop that I can plug my iPad and iPhone into.  Is my MacBook Pro capable of an upgrade? Frankly I only half understand some of the info above.
    Thanks in advance for the help/suggestions.

    Yes, you have a dam fine machine still.
    In your case, I would have a local Mac/PC computer support type backup your files and install Snow Leopard 10.6   $29
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    I do not advise 10.7 for your machine, it's just a tad outdated for it. As I've have so learned myself on a similar machine.
    1: You can choose to add more RAM to 4GB, $20+ plus installation.
    2: You can choose to add a 7,200 RPM hard drive, that will increase the machines performance bit more, $100+ plus installation.
    However either isn't necessary for 10.6 Snow Leopard and Apple won't do it, or if they do it's going to be a huge charge.
    So you would have to do it yourself or hire a Mac geek locally. I advise the local Mac geek if your not familiar with computers.
    With 10.6 your going to see a remarkable speed improvement over 10.4 and for $29 is the cheapest performance upgrade you can do.
    Unfortunatly your going to have to get new versions of software, but you don't have to buy Office.
    https://www.libreoffice.org/
    So a ballpark figure, anywhere from $29 if you self-install Snow Leopard, to $180 or so plus whatever the computer guy charges.
    If you find a Mac person who's good with computers you can likely get something he needs, like more memory or another hard drive.
    FYI: I was quoted $600 by a Apple Authorized Reseller to replace my hard drive and $435 by Apple to upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB
    I got a drive myself for $300 (at the time) and more RAM for $80 and installed both myself.
    So I'd say your likely looking at about $300-$350 with present drive and RAM prices including labor with a local Mac computer type.

  • Should I get a new Macbook pro?

    Hey there,
    I have had my white Macbook for over three years now. First of all, it runs really sluggish most times now. I mean, I'm still able to use it, however, it is significantly slower than when I first got it. The disc drive no longer works, and hasn't worked for about a year now. Instead of spending 200ish dollars to get it fixed, I just bought an external one. The Macbook pro now is really new and having been recently approved for the barclaycard, I would be able to finance it over the next twelve months. I have heard people say that right now is the perfect time to buy a Macbook pro and that it should last me at least the next six years. Should I just tough it out and wait until my current Macbook really is driven into the ground, or should I take advantage of my current student discount and the prime time to buy a Macbook pro?
    I am really leaning towards getting it, but still debating.
    Thanks!

    That is a really good question. The difference in performance will be huge for you, but on the other hand the new Pro's are buggy right now (heat, 10.6.7 update glitches, freezes,). Of course common sense tells us that new iteration bugs happen to the minority - most people will be happy with their new machines. Read the posts here about new machine issues and see if you are up to the challenge. I'm seeing a lot of people solving their problems, but as a rule: if you wait a while after a major upgrade you can avoid issues completely.
    Finally - consider the Apple Refurbished page. Good deals right now.
