Help! Can't download Logic Studio 8 from disc on newer Mac mini.

This is my first post, and I'm a long time Mac lover, but am not super great at knowing my system as well as I should, and am only fair at "tech speak". I just upgraded to a Mac mini with a 2.5 GHz Intel i5, and am running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b). I have Logic 8 from my previous system that I want to download from disc to my new system (my old Power PC iMac is gone in a hand-me-down, so it is not available). I popped in the install disc, and it came up with a message that says Power PC software is no longer supported. I have been looking at other posts trying to ascertain what to do, and have been seeing information about Rosetta, using older versions of OSX, running parallel systems, and all sorts of other possible fixes from varying years of postings. I am wondering if there is anything I can do, that doesn't take a boat load of cash, to make this work on my current set up. As well, I want to again apologize to all you Mac Masters out there if I seem like a noob to some of this, it's because I am. I would appreciate any help you can give, and thank you all in adavnce.

Hi
You can install using Pacifist.. last time I tried it, it worked OK.

Can I use my old apple monitor with a new mac mini?

Can I use my old apple monitor with a new mac mini?

Probably. Any information about the monitor?

Can I use an old Apple Cinema Display with new Mac Mini?

Currently I have an early PowerMac G5 that I bought used recently. It came with an Apple Cinema Display (20", I think - resolution is 1680x1050). The Cinema Display does not have a separate power cord so it must be powered from the PowerMac. My question is this - would I be able to use this monitor with a new Mac Mini - would it be able to power it the same as the PowerMac is currently.
Thanks in advance for your help. This is the first Mac I have owned since a "Fat Mac" many years ago (one of those with the 9" black and white screen).

Are you sure you have a 20" CINEMA display? I have 2x 20" CINEMA displays and both have their own power cord (and power brick). Maybe yours is a STUDIO display??? IDK if STUDIO displays worked that way or not, I've never owned one. Anyways, I have a 20" CINEMA display connected to my new Mac mini (early 2009) via the MiniDVI>DVI adapter and it works fine but is powered through the power cord though. I too have a PowerMac G5 (quad) but my PowerMac cannot power the displays without them being plugged in via their power cords. I am thinking you must have a STUDIO display or maybe there was an earlier version of the CINEMA display that could work that way.... idk. Mine were purchased at the end of 2005 along with the PowerMac G5 (quad).

How to Transfer Files from old to new Mac Mini?

Burn from iMovie on new Mac Mini

I just purchased a new Mac Mini and I created a project from iMovie '11, but iDVD is no longer on them, so what is the best way to burn an iMovie project to DVD?

If you have access to a different mac with optical drive, transfer the file to it and burn it there. Or use target disk mode between the two systems via FireWire ( as opposed to wifi or ethernet networking to that machine ... which is too slow and unreliable to transfer that much data and will give you coasters)
If you only have one mac, the new mac mini, your best and easiest bet is an external USB dvd burner. Apple sells one.
There are many reports in this forum and others of people who have bought a USB dvd burner drive from another manufacturer for as little as $30 and used that successfully.

Where can i download Logic pro 9 from?

Hi
I purchased Logic pro 9 from the app store several years ago, from the time it was downloaded i was only successful in opening the application once before the program started crashing continually on start up, rendering the program unusable! As i require a stable and reliable platform to work from, i never bothered as i have protools to work with, i admit i was frustrated to fork out $200 for a program i never was able to use! I was continually faced with the same crashing time and time again at start up and was never able to get the program to stay open long enough to even change settings as the spinning ball of death would raise its head.
Well tonight was the last straw, after following directions on how to uninstall/ reinstall Logic pro 9 from your support section, i was greeted with a dodgy message when i opened up my app store account expecting to be able to download and reinstall logic pro 9!! The message said that the program is no longer available to download? I am confused, as a customer i have paid for a product that no longer exists?
Can someone please direct me to a location where this can be re downloaded? I had all intentions of giving logic a shot as i am getting sick of Avids expensive upgrade paths. I am currently on snow leopard 10.6.8.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated regarding this matter as i would like to finally be able to check out logic Pro as a suitable replacement option to protools. I don't wish to upgrade to Logic 10 and pay another $200 for a program i am yet to use!
Kind Regards
Sean

Logic Pro 9, if you bought the the original App Store version... will be found under the Purchased Tab in the Mac App Store App if you have signed in using the exact same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the first place. You will see a download/ install button to the far right of the Logic Pro 9 entry there, ready for you to click on.. if you click/check anywhere else (like on the Logic Pro Icon instead of the download/install button or anywhere else in the Mac App Store ) you will not find it as it is, indeed, no longer sold via the App Store (or anywhere else for that matter)
If it is not listed under the purchased tab and you are sure you are using the exact same Apple ID you used to purchase it, contact Apple directly and ask them for assistance. They may need to reset something their end.

Can I use my iMac's display for my new Mac mini?

I have an Intel-Based iMac. I just purchased a mini with no monitor. Can I use the display on my iMac as the monitor?

Thanks Dave. But I'm still left with a problem: I don't have a stand-alone monitor! Now here's another posting I found:
+*Setting Up a Headless Mac Mini without a Monitor*+
+I only have laptops and no external monitors, so I needed a way to setup the Mini without a monitor. It was really easy, following these steps:+
+-connect a keyboard to the Mini+
+-start the Mini in FireWire Disk Mode+
+-connect the MacBook Pro to the Mini with FireWire cable+
+-restart the MBP using the Mini as the boot disk+
+-setup the Mini with network access and remote management (Sharing)+
+-reboot the MBP with its own disk+
+-disconnect the Mini and reboot+
+Voila! Now you should be able to use Screen Sharing over your network to remotely control your Mini-no keyboard or mouse required.+
Well, I do have a MacBook Pro. So can I set up my new mini like this?

I can't download music or videos from itunes onto my iPad mini

Both. Music and videos purchased on iTunes try to download and the stop with message saying download error tap to retry.
I have retried 100 times for both music and videos and it doesn't work.
Can anybody help?

I had an issues similar to this with purchased music not all that long ago, and rebooting (I think) is what got it working for me again.
See if this helps - sign out, restart, sign in again and try again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
I would suggest rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds, and you can try that - but I'm not sure if that will help. It won't hurt anyway.

HT2375 I am trying to install logic studio pro 8 to my new mac, but i am getting a message that the pc power is longer supported

You can't open the application Logic Studio8 because PowerPC applications are no longe " r supporte

Hi
This error is because the Logic 8 installer will not work on OSX Lion or above. Once you've goy it installed Logic 8.0.2 works OK
You can get the installation done using Pacifist: see my post near the bottom of this discussion for detailed instructions:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18338482#18338482#18338482#18338482#183384 82
Once installed, you wil need to download the latest updates.

Otherwise what connector is on the monitor?
The 20 inch model A1038 has the ADC while the A1081 has DVI

Can we download ISE Pofile Policy from Cisco?

The ISE comes with certain profile policies. Can we download the profile policy from Cisco as new devices come into the market?

Yes, you can. jan.nielson is correct that the Profile Feed Service will allow for this. Be advised that the Feed Service does require a Plus license for activation. Here is a snippet from the ISE 1.3 Admin Guide:
To activate the Feed Service, go to Administration > Feed Service > Profiler. Enable the checkbox for Enable Profiler Feed Service, fill out the rest of the options (optional) and click Save.

New Mac Mini or iMac (late 2012) for Logic Pro?

Between these two specifically, which would be better for Logic Pro, and why?
The new Mac Mini (mid-tier) has a 2.3gHz i7, and the low-end iMac which has a 2.7GHz i5. Both are quad-core. The i5 is faster in clock-speed, but the Mini sports the i7, which has hyperthreading.
Can anybody offer any insight on which of these two computers would be better for Logic?

While this is not quite the answer you be looking for...
The 2011 Mac Mini Server, is in many ways the better bet for use with Logic because...
It has a 2.0Ghz i7... so slightly slower than the 2012 models..but it is the i7 version with 8 Cores.. so it still flies..
It comes with 2 x 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drives built in (Compared to 5400rpm Drives in the 2012 model)
Memory easily upgraded to 16GB for about $90 via Amazon..
..and yoi get a free copy of OS X Server, if should wish to use it at some point in the future... (The MMS comes with the Standard OS X installed and you have to run the add on server program to install OS X server so if you don't need the server stuff, don't run the Server installation software and you'll be running standard OS X as normal)
USB2 instead of USB3 is about the only other important difference that matters for AudioExt Drive use but using the FW800 and Thunderbolt ports, via Tbolt to FW adaptors on the 2011 MMS removes the need for USB3 I find..
Othert than that the 2011 and 2012 models are pretty much the same...
But.. the real kicker is that Apple are currently selling refurbished ones (with full warranty) at $759..... down from $999 originally...so they are quite the bargain..
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC936LL/A/refurbished-mac-mini-with-lion-serve r-20ghz-quad-core-intel-core-i7
I bought two of these originally and have never regretted it.. So much so that i just picked up another as a spare...
Got to be worth consideration... and at that price.. You could buy two... and use Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to sync them together..
A Basic Guide to VEP5 and Logic info that i wrote, can be found here...
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956http://www.logicprohe lp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78956
...add a screen and still save money conpared to buying a mid level iMac.... and you would be getting one **** of a punchy system for your buck.
Other than that suggestion..
In regards to the original question... Always go for the i7 models as hyperthreading adds 4 more (virtual) cores and that can really make a difference in performance compared to the 4 cores of an i5...

Can New mac mini supports SATA III harddisk?

The new mac mini is used "Hitachi HTS545050B9A302" as harddrive. I don't know it is a SATA II or SATA III harddisk.
Can anyone tell me.
Thanks.

Apple are likely to use different batches and makes even in the same model Mac. However I believe the above Hitachi drive to be a SATA II which is 3.0Gbps.
You should not pay too much attention to that however. Not only is this only a 5400 rpm drive (slow) but any single physical hard disk cannot come even close to fully loading a SATA interface. You only need to worry about this if you get a SSD drive and even then you might need to have a RAID0 stripped array to merit a SATA III 6.0Gbps interface.
