How can I install Logic Pro 8 on my OSX Lion?

Having had to do a clean install of OSX Lion I find I can't install Logic 8 on my system. I can't understand why an expensive in-house product that is only 4 years old can't be installed on the latest OS. Can't find any advice from Apple, and am still waiting for a call back fron the support line.
How can I get around this - I have already spent a day re-installing all my other software on Lion, so reverting to Snow Leopard is not an option.

What do you mean, it's not installing?

    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.

    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.

  • How can I install logic 9 on new mac 10.8

    how can I install logic 9 on new macBook pro 10.8?
    My Cd rom shows Logic 7 and on the old mashine (MacBook white 10.6) I have Logic pro 9.
    My MacBook pro 10.8 does't accept the Cd Rom...

    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.....

  • Can you install logic pro on more than one system?

    How many systems can you install logic pro onto?

    I believe via the AppStore you get 5 licences. For the whole family.

  • How do I install Logic Pro 8.0.2 on the latest macbook pro?

    I just bought a new macbook pro retina and realised that it does not have a disc slot
    to put the installation disc in!
    How do I install Logic Pro 8.0.2 on the latest macbook pro?
    Also is there a way for me to upgrade it to Logic Pro X?
    Please help!

    Forget Logic Pro 8 on your new macbook, it will not work. The "upgrade" to LPX will cost you around 200 bucks and can be acquired  via the App Store.
    Have a nice day!

  • 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.

  • Can i install logic pro without the cd because my dvd driver of my mac doesn't work . i have the key for logic pro

    can i install logic pro without cd ? , i have the key for the logic pro but my dvd driver of my mac doesnt work ?

    Buy an external USB2 DVD/CD drive..... (Amazon's Basic model works great)
    Or..
    Borrow someone else's Mac that has a DVD drive fitted and use that via Remote Disk
    Note:
    There is no legal means of downloading available for Logic Pro 9.. unless you originally purchased it via the App Store..
    Therefore, in your case, you must install from the DVDs you have...

  • How can I reset Logic Pro 9 in my iMac 'cos i eraser some presets effects in  mastering list? I need to use again.

    How can I reset Logic Pro 9 in my iMac 'cos i eraser some presets effects in  mastering list? I need to use again.

    You can't, I think. But you can open an old project where it was used, or if you know somebody else with logic, you can ask a copy of the presets and then manually drop them where they belong. What is missing exactly and how did you erase the presets?
    Have a nice day!

  • Someone please help!! Can't install logic pro 9 on my new macbook pro 2012

    Hi guys,
    ive been scrolling the internet for days and actually can't find the solution to my next problem:
    I bought the new macbook pro 15" running mac osx 10.7.4.
    now i want to install logic 9 on this computer. Before this i've already been using logic on two computers, my Mac Pro and my older macbook pro (2008).
    I installed logic pro 9 as in upgrade to Logic pro 8.
    Ive tried installing logic pro 8 on the new laptop but it wont let me, says the new macbookpro doesnt support this program anymore.
    Now ive tried installing logic 9 on the new macbook pro and it wont allow me. It wont accept my product liscence, I've tried it a hundred times, but it just wont let me.
    Im not planning on using the older laptop anymore, should i uninstall logic from it? If so... how come i can't find the location of the liscence?
    really hope hearing from u guys soon....
    AJ

    Sounds like the same issue as this to me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18640824#18640824
    The license says you can only install on one laptop and one desktop machine. Try uninstalling it from the old laptop and see if that fixes it.

  • How can I update Logic Pro X offline

    How can I update my Logic Pro X on my 27" iMac at my project studio withouth internet access? I obviously moved the huge iMac to the studio after installing Logic Pro X, but I don’t intend to move it from the studio to my home whenever I need to update software.
    Also there is virtually no 3G coverage in the area, so tethering is not an option either.
    Will there be offline updates available (couldn’t find any at support.apple.com/downloads)? Or do I have to always copy the Logic Pro X.app from one of my Macbook Pros onto a USB stick to overwrite the Logic version on my studio iMac?
    Thanks, Josh

    My best guess...and it's only a guess but it is based on other Pro Apps and how Apple have handled them along with what seems to be Apple's roadmap for OS X in the next few years.. is as follows.....
    Logic Pro 9 was sold as both a physical item (Logic Studio 2.0) and a download from the Mac App Store. Because some users could buy it as a physical item at one point in  time, Apple continued to provide updates that could be downloaded as individual files (outside of the online Update system) and then could be physically transported to the Mac that has L9 installed.
    Now LPX is only available as a download item from the Mac App Store, and the only way one can (officially) download/install LPX on a mac.. is to use the internet...the only way updates can be done is online too, via the Mac App Store online update system. Add to this the fact that Mavericks does all updates automatically without the need for User intervention and I can see why Apple have taken this path.
    So, my guess is there will be no offline update files...(Unless Apple have a major change of direction with Mavericks.....) and it seems your "USB stick" method may be the one of the few practicals way of updating LPX on a Mac..when you have no internet at that location.
    My method to get around the problem that one of my studios are in a location where the internet is poor... is to install OS X and Logic onto a fast external HD and boot from that. I then take that HD to another location which has a good internet connection, connect it to a Mac and boot it up and update it there. On two occasions I have even taken it to my nearest Apple store and they have happily allowed me to use their bandwidth and a Mac to achieve this. The advantage of this method is that both the OS X and Logic can be updated at the same times along with any other related content or 3rd party plugins/content.. which may or may not be updated in the future.
