How can A new Logic Studio (9.1.1) not be compatible with Lion?!

***! first Lion makes my 11 Rack's software inopperable, and now I finally got Logic Studio and it says I can't use Logic Pro because it's version 9.1.1. I was already having trouble, and after an our with apple phone support and a few more installing the software it says the install was a success, but then underneath it reads an error occurred and it failed. I never realized how confusing (and confused) Apple can be. Why have an app on a DAW called Compressor, yet having nothing to do with actual audio compressors, What the **** is it ?!! Is it a Logic Studio or a Logic Pro?!! The box only says Studio, what version depends on how knowledgible the salesperson is.There's no way to tell otherwise except by the price. So why then does the app say Logic Pro, which by the way, is the only app (apparently) outdated. All the other apps of the Logic Studio suite bundle have no problems being openend. But as if this isn't confusing enough, check this out:
       I barely had my brand spankin' new MacBook Pro (15') three months, and it never let me down, even when some supposed tech suggests I take it in for a look because of their personal lack of resourcefulness. In other words, if they can't figure it out then it must be my computer. This has happened to me atleast five times already on seperate occasions, and how many of those times was it actually necessary - count 'em - ZERO! It took me a few seconds to figure it out myself after hanging up, and this is my first computer. But I'm getting off course, let me reiterate:
      It says on page 11 of the installation manual "Important:Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5...will be deselected if Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system" (due to incompatibility issues - what else is new). So my first mistake was calling Apple support, and incidentally, even though I payed extra for a three year support contract at the time of my purchasing my Mac, Logic Studio is only covered for 90 days (I wonder why). I called because of all the items checked for installation, Compressor was grayed out. Turns out that the apps in question don't get along with the iLife '11 Suite, WHAT!!! Avid (Pro Tools, Eleven Rack, etc.) and Apple is one thing. They're competitors, so I wouldn't be surprised the sudden incompatibiliy issues with Lion and 11 Rack was no accident (just like M-Audio's Axiom Pro, also owned by Avid, working best with Pro tools is niether a coincidence) but now I feel I'm giving their resourcefulness too much credit, because now I stand dumbfounded at how a flag-ship Apple product has discrepencies with another flag ship Apple product...wait, what? Did they forget when comprising the new Lion OS, that they were also a leader in Audio Software?
      Anyway, I was sent an email with these directions: 1. From the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
                                                                                2. Open the Terminal application from the Utilities folder.
                                                                                 3. Enter the following case-sensative command exactly as it appears:
                                                                                    sudo pkgutil --forget con.apple.pkg.AppleintermediateCodec
                                                                                4. Enter an administrative password when prompted.
                                                                                5. Install compressor from the Logic Studio installer.
                                                                                 6. From the Apple menu choose Software Update.
                                                                                 7. Install any available updates.
    Anyway we never made it past #4. The prompt by the way (omitted in the diections) is a solid standing rectangle at the end, as opposed to an empty one, but we're just supposed to magically know this is the prompt. I start typing (after being told to press return - also omitted above) and no letters transpire. The tech then suggests we try it again, even though I followed his suggestion of copy & pasting. We did, same thing, so he then suggests he needs to view my computer, as if I was the one malfunctioning. But that was another issue altogether (which I care not to repeat), and eventually he just gave up and suggested I speak to a "higher-up" specialist, but not before he admitted there was something he overlooked and that he's sorry, this after wasting over an hour of my time, and also after - now get this - he suggested I take my machine in since it would be easier, yea, easier for him, how about the time & effort already wasted.
    This new tech says, that the password is not supposed to show when I type it in, What?! Now this is the real kicker, this time it did appear. So really all they were doing was creating even more unexplainable anomolies. We presumed it did the trick, even though "Compressor" was still grayed out in the list. He told me why, which I didn't care to understand, and as long as it says install next to it that I'll be ok. I then told him, this is exactly how it looked before I even made the call in the first place (hence why I said that was my first mistake), but he was right since Compressor well and present, however *** is up with Logic Pro! Please, anybody, save me from having to call Apple Support again (not that it helps) these are geeks not musicians.

Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
     By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

  • How can we let logic in the implemetation process not to squeeze together?

    Hi xilinx expert:
               There are three clk domain in my project . green, yellow and red clk domain. i don't understand why they are all place in the lower part of the device. All logic is squeeze together in the lower part, and the upper part is empty. The design did not meet timing requirements.
                How can i get the yellow and green clk domain logic layout to the upper part of the device?

    We had the same problem.  PBlocks are your friend.  You can chose which logic you want to move and where you want to place it, including having overlapping blocks.  We do things like:
    set N 11;
    set PB [create_pblock Cust_$N]
    add_cells_to_pblock $PB [get_cells -hier -filter [list NAME =~ *\[$N\].mCustPort]]
    resize_pblock $PB -add {SLICE_X158Y488:SLICE_X165Y498}
    resize_pblock $PB -add {DSP48_X13Y196:DSP48_X14Y199}
    set PB [create_pblock Cust_$N\_RX]
    add_cells_to_pblock $PB [get_cells -hier -filter [list NAME =~ *\[$N\]*mDecode*]]
    add_cells_to_pblock $PB [get_cells -hier -filter [list NAME =~ *\[$N\]*mFifoRx*]]
    resize_pblock $PB -add {SLICE_X170Y488:SLICE_X191Y498}
    resize_pblock $PB -add {DSP48_X15Y196:DSP48_X16Y199}
    resize_pblock $PB -add {RAMB36_X11Y98:RAMB36_X11Y99}
    The results look like this:
    It is hard to see why you cannot use this to solve your problems.

    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.....

    You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
    Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

  • How can I deauthorize Logic Pro 9?

    Hello!
    I'm going to sell my old MacBook Pro and buy a new one.
    How can I deauthorize Logic Pro 9 on the old computer and authorize on the new Mac?
    Thanks, Max )

    You don't..
    If you started with the DVD version of Logic Studio...You can simply delete the App on your old Mac and then reinstall via the DVDs on your new Mac  remembering to update to 9.1.8 as soon as the install is complete if you are running Mountain Lion or Mavericks on your New Mac...
    Note: Personally, I'd do a full reinstall of OS X on your old Mac using either the OS X DVDs that came with your old Mac or using the recovery partition if you have since installed Mountain Lion or Maverivcks.. on your old mac.. This effectively will revert your mac back to the state it was when you bought it... or to a completely clean OS X install...
    Or, if you bought the App Store version...  of LP9
    You delete the LP9 App from your old mac.. sign out of the App store on your old Mac....and that's it.
    Then on your new Mac, sign into the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase LP9 in the first place and then go to the purchases tab and you will find Logic Pro 9 ready and waiting for you to download and install using the install button under purchases.
    Note: Again, either way I'd do a full clean OS X install on your old Mac is possible as then none of your personal data will be left on your old mac prior to you selling it.
