Have Logic Pro 9.0.2, can't open OR update in Mavericks.

Like the topic says, I bought the Academic version of Logic Pro 9 about 2 years ago when I was in college. I never saw any update options for it in the Software Update program, so I have been running 9.0.2 for a long time. I installed OSX Mavericks today (was previously on Snow Leopard), and I can no longer open Logic Pro. I downloaded both the 9.1.7 and 9.1.8 updates, and neither of them will run because "An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder." Is there any hope for me, or do I have to take the plunge and buy Logic X?

I only have the one copy of Logic on my drive. The name of my Logic app after the Mavericks upgrade was "Logic Pro 9.0.2".
I tried installing the Logic Pro 9.1.7 update originally with this name but with no success, then I tried by renaming the app "Logic Pro 9" as adviced by The Art of Sound above and again it didn't work. I then tried again by renaming the app just "Logic Pro" as Majors89 suggested but still no luck.
The message I keep getting is "An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher."
Everytime I rename the app the picture changes to just a folder icon which can be opened and all the package contents seen, but when it's just named Logic Pro 9.0.2 as it was after the upgrade it has the regular logo but with a cross out.

  • 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.

  • Have logic Pro 9...can i get it from the app store for free?

    Hello,
    Some years back I purchased a new boxed version of Logic Pro 9.
    Should I continue to use that version, or would it be preferable in any way to switch to the app store version?
    If the latter, then is it possible to download it from the app store without having to pay, since I am already an owner of the boxed version?

    1. Yes. Well, actually, you should probably update (free) via Software Update. 9.1.7 is the current version.
    1b. No. Same app.
    2. is therefore moot, but, to be complete: no, that's not possible.

  • I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

    Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
    I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
    I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
    Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
    This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

    The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion.  Use the program Pacifist to install it.

  • I bought Logic Pro 9 in May and haven't had time to use it... And now they have Logic Pro X. Can I get a refund and buy X? I feel a bit ripped off as it stands now.

    Can someone help? I feel bummed and a bit ripped off.  I'd like to have Logic Pro X now, with all it's nice new features. I bought Logic 9 in May and haven't had time to even look at it. You think apple will offer people like me a refund? I hope so. I just don't feel it's right to charge so much for the upgrade.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Apple offered a refund for users who purchased Logic Pro 9 30 days or less before the Logic Pro X launch, but they don't do it anymore, so if you want to upgrade to Logic Pro X, you have to purchase it in the Mac App Store
    Part of this is incorrect...
    Some App Store employee's "accidentally" (but in good faith) issued refunds to a few users who had purchased Logic 9 within 30 days prior to the mid-July release of Logic-X. Word quickly came down from Apple HQ that this was against App Store policy and the practice was immediately stopped.
    To the original poster.. you never stood a chance, even if they were issuing refunds you didn't fall within the 30 day period.  There were many who purchased Logic 9 a few days before the LX release who did not get a refund.

    It's not a bug. Although Logic 8 will run under 10.7.x and 10.8.x the installer contains PPC code which simply does not run in 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9. The app is fine, the installer is the issue.
    Some research on this issue has led me to the conclusion that the commonly held conception that the installer has PPC code is flatly incorrect.
    That misconception is due to the fact that the PowerPC dialog box is triggered by any attempt to launch the installer app.
    The "bug" I reference triggers this dialog box; not PPC code within the Logic Pro 8 app. 
    At the end of the day, the result is the same: the installer app will NOT work in Mt. Lion without modification.  I have been given a tip on how to make a modification that will allow an analogous program's installer app work in Mt. Lion, but since I do not have access to a copy of Logic Pro 8, I cannot test this theory.
    So, yes, the best approach is to be sure it is fully installed before the upgrade!

  • I have Logic Pro 7 and want to upgrade to X but I can't because I have a 2007 MacBook Pro - I can only run Logic Pro 9 - where can I find it to buy?

    Any recommendation as to where I can buy Logic Pro 9?  I can't run X on my MacBook because I can't upgrade to Mavericks.

    Yes.. that is described as what you need.
    Fingers crossed but you should be fine if it from a reputable person..
    One tip.. Once you have installed it.. remember to update LP to  9.1.8 as that is the most stable version under  Lion....
    I would recommend doing this before you run LP for the first time...
    Use this link to download the correct update for your version....

  • HT1338 I have Logic Pro 9 on my desktop, I'd like to install it on my laptop. Where would I find the installer?

    I have Logic Pro 9 on my desk top and I'd like to install it on my laptop. Where can I find the installer.

    Before uninstalling the software it's always recommended to 'Deactivate' the license by going to the 'Help' menu else it will give the error you are getting.
    This is because as per End User License Agreement you cannot install the software on more than 2 computers.
    In case the older computer is no longer there to 'Deactivate' then please contact Customer Care at 8008336687(US) / Support or Chat Support to increase the activation count on your license and they would be able to help as an exception.

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

    how many computers can i load my downloaded logic pro on? and can i sell my logic 8... or do i need it?

    This is the mainadvantage of purchaseing apps from the app store:
    Go to the "App Store" app under the Apple menu.
    Login with your Apple ID account (the one you purchase Logic)
    Go to the Purchases tab where you find all the apps that you purchased with that Apple ID
    Any app that is not installed on the current computer is ready for download
    Download and install the app
    Done.
    Hoe that helps

  • If I buy Logic pro, how many computers can I install it on?

    if I buy Logic pro, how many computers can I install it on? will the spp-store let me download again if get new computer?

    The license agreement for the DVD version of Logic is different... and  only allows for you to install it on two computers (Specifically one desktop and one laptop) In additiont you are supposed to only actually run Logic on one of them at a time and not both at the same time...
    So in your instance, you should, according to your license agreement, remove Logic from your older Macbook in order to install it on your new MacBook Pro....
    However, if I were you, I would contact Apple to confirm this as there is some discussion as to if this license agreement is still in force or if Logic, once it is updated via the App Store Update routines in Mountain Lion, then is covered by the App Store agreement which allows unlimited installs of Logic Pro on any computer you own...
    It's a very grey area... and there is nothing stopping you from installing Logic on all three Macs except for that license agreement as the physical check that used to be present in Logic Pro, to prevent you using it on more than one Mac at a time, was removed a while back... so read into that, what you will.
    Again, to be absolutely sure, legally speaking, contact Apple and ask them for guidance... (and if possible get it in writing from them, if they give you the go ahead to install and use Logic Pro on a third computer)

  • 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.
