Hassle getting old logic tunes to play on logic pro 8

hi all.. i am a 1st time user of logic pro 8.. but this is not the problem. the problem is that i have some songs a band i was in in 2000 recorded on an external hard drive. the tracks were recorded on a G3 mac on emagic logic 4.somthing .. i do not and never did have that logic system. the studio closed a few months after we recorded there but i got the guy to zap all my bands stuff onto another hard drive and bought it from him for later use..ah ha now heres the problem.. i connect up the external drive and logic 8 tells me that its not compatible. all i can play is segments of individual instruments, none together and no full songs. it just says i need logic 7.2.1 to read it.. is there any way around this or do i have to buy and load another version of logic just so i can get logic to recognise it.??? i do not have access to any serial numbers or XSKey dongles from the older logic version the songs were recorded on so i cant just update software or somthing like that as i dont have the software to update just songs that were recorded on it. its kinda like i need to downgrade so i can upgrade.. wierd...but in any case if there is any1 out there that can advise me on what i will need to do, buy or download to fix this problem so i can complete these recordings( even if it is only for 3 people...lol) it would be greatly appreciated... alot time ,effort, soul , hardwork and arguements went into recording them so it would a waste and a shame to noy be able to finish them... thanks for any help you can offer...HENDRIX666

I had the same issue - check out this thread for the solution.

1- put your songs on a hard drive
2 - take them to someone's place ( house or nearby studio etc ) who has Logic 7.
3 - Open them all in logic 7 and save them as new L7 files on your portable hard drive
4 - Take them home and they will open in L8

  • I can not get my i-tunes to play correctly, problem with library I think.

    I have had this problem for a really long time and I don't know how to fix it. I can open my i-tunes but when I click to play a song it freezes up and says "i-tunes1 not responding." the only way I can get i-tunes to work is to go into programs and repair it.
    I think it is a problem with my library, because I have a folder named i-tunes with my songs in it and a folder named i-tunes1 with my i-tunes library and i-tunes media folder in it. There is nothing in my i-tunes media folder. I have tried consolidating my library and stuff but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

  • Can't get old mac game to play

    I have an old game, Pirates! Gold! for Macintosh. I am running OSX 10.3, and I installed Mac OS9 with the additional disc that came with my mini mac and yet I still cannot get this game to open and run. Other classic apps. such as Sherlock are working fine so it seems to be something about this game. Anyone have any suggestions?
    mac mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Actually Charles, you were right on about the display
    settings. We changed to 256 colors, and screen size
    of 640 X 480 and all of a sudden it works! Seems to
    be running well so far. I'm still using Jaguar and I
    think I may stick with it for a while. You're not
    the only person I've heard from who is having
    problems with Tiger and old games compatibility.
    A lot of older software, games especially, was written by people who didn't pay attention to Apple's guidlines, and who hard-coded in certain items. In your case, they expected a max screen size of 640x480, and max colours of 256. Apple explicitly said to not expect anything of the sort, but some people knew better. It's a classic error, one which even Apple coders made. <cough> MacPaint 1 </cough>...
    Thanks for your reply.
    no problem.

  • How do I get rid of distortion when playing old CDs in iTunes?

    Yesterday I imported a fairly old CD into iTunes and was disappointed to find playback of the CD was so distorted it was impossible to listen to.
    Here are some facts:
    All my other music in iTunes still plays perfectly
    The CD plays perfectly in QuickTime Player on the same machine from the same drive, so it's not a hardware or CD problem
    A newer CD imported today into iTunes imported perfectly
    A bit of research on the web suggests it's to do with the fact that the CD was manufactured a long time ago - the date on the disk itself is 1987.
    I've upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, removed all iTunes plug-ins from my iMac (as instructed by one of the Apple iTunes troubleshooting pages) and I've also switched off Equalizer, Crossfade, Sound Enhancer and Sound Check, but none of these make any difference.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is it something to do with the import settings? If so, can you tell me what they should be set to?
    Many thanks

    Thanks for your reply. Sorry I wasn't specific about this. I get distortion in iTunes when I play straight from this particular CD and when I import it. With QuickTime, I get no distortion when I play straight from the CD, but (I hadn't tried this before but I just gave it a go) I do get distortion when I play the .m4a file created by iTunes. So presumably it's something iTunes is doing when it processes the .aiff file from the CD.
    At the moment the import settings are:
    Import using: AAC Encoder
    Setting: High Quality (128 kbps)
    with the 'Use error correction...' box checked.
    I've never had to touch them before. Is there a better setting to use for importing early CDs?
    Thanks.

  • When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad.

  • HT203167 Had to replace my hard drive. Now I can't get into i-tunes to enjoy my list (about 98 songs). Is my music stored in my old hsrd drive? Sorry guys I'm not real good with this comp. stuff. Just want my music back

    Had to replace my hard drive. Now I can't get into i-tunes to enjoy or purchase new music.Are my i-tunes stored in my old hard drive ? Do I have to take my old hard drive to a computer store and have them placed on something called a flash drive ? I'm having the same trouble retrieving my Ancestry.com infor.

    Yes, all you iTunes data are on the old drive. Get an external enclosure in which you may install the old drive in order to connect it to your computer and copy your iTunes data to your new drive.
    Everything is on your old drive unless you copied it to the new drive.

    Hi,
    Not sure if any of you above have managed to solve your problem or not but after coming across this same problem myself today as I am currently 'sofa bound' I decided to make it my mission to find a way around it.
    Initially I did think, having ready what seemed like a million questions and people with the same problem, that the only way was to buy OS X 10.5 ... HOWEVER, no. In among all these threads I found a jewel - Download I Tunes 9.2.1 which gets rid of the download itunes 10 advert and allows you to then buy from itunes again :-)  I am now one very happy lady.
    I apologise to all those that dont have older versions of OS X that maybe wont support even this upgrade but certainly for those like me with just 4yr old lap tops at least it means it not longer means buying a new one.
    Hope this helps son very frustrated people like myself - so much for apple support!

  • I have a brand new Nano Ipod 7th Generation.  I can't get any sound out of earphones.  Yes, have pushed the cord all the way in.  Screen shows tunes are playing, but I can't hear anything.  Volume bar shows volume all the way up.  Now what?

    No sound out of earphones.  Yes, cord is all the way in the jack.  Screen shows tune is "playing", but I can't get any sound out.  Help

    If this is the case, I recommend to visit Apple store to request for replacement. Cheers!
