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.

  • How can I update Logic Pro 9.1.6 to 9.1.8?

    I have tried to download software from online that Apple directed me to get 9.1.8, but that said I could only update by using the app store. But there is no Logic pro 9 in the app store anymore. Is there a way?  It's not even in the purchased tab.
    (ps I am trying to update because I read that the update makes it behave with Mavericks)
    Thanks!

    Dnlsan,
    Do not miss out any of these steps and do them in this order...
    First, sign out of your account within the Mac App Store app...
    Quit the Mac App Store app...
    Launch the Mac App Store app..
    Sign in using your Apple ID..
    Watch for any updated Terms and Conditions dialog boxes that might appear and agree to them...
    Check your Payment information is also correct and up to date even though there is no charge for the LP9.1.8 update...
    Now go to Updates in the Mac App Store app..and check there for the Logic Pro 9.1.8 update
    This should fix the issue...
    However...
    Again as was said earlier.. also make sure your Logic Pro 9 app is correctly located in your Applications folder and ensure the app is indeed named Logic Pro and nothing else... (Some people found their current copy of the Logic Pro app would be labelled Logic Pro 9.1.6 for example.. and they had to edit the name to put it back to the original Logic Pro for updates to work)
    You should then be able to update correctly.
    if not.. contact Apple directly as they may need to reset your account on their Mac App Store servers.. to resolve any remaining issues...

  • 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.

    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.

  • Can i update logic pro 9 to x or do i have to rebuy it?

    can i update logic pro 9 to x or do i have to rebuy it?

    The full price of Logic Pro was reduced during the life of Logic Pro 9 to be only a fraction of the original price.  Thus, the full price today is still cheaper than the old model for upgrade prices.  Net result - just buying the new version when one comes out (e.g. Logic Pro X) costs about the same, if not less than upgrades did in the past, but with the added bonus that if you're a new customer, you pay a far cheaper price first time round.
    Everyone's a winner!

    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!

  • Can´t update logic Pro 9.0.0 to 9.1.3

    Hi
    I have a problem updating logic pro. I was wondering, my version is still 9.0.0 and the automatic update never find any updates for logic. So I downloaded the update manually, but I receive a massage...that there is no logic 9.0 on the system and I can´t update...very funny, because there definitely is a logic 7, 8, and 9 on the system working.
    Anyone with an idea out there?
    Thanks

    As well as being in the Applications folder, you MUST NOT rename the app. It has to be "Logic Pro.app" or the updater will not find the file.

    ...or just *Logic Pro* (if you have the .app suffix disabled systemwide, which I believe to be the default in OS X)

  • How can I buy logic pro 9?

    Hello!
    I have been running Logic Express on a dual G5 pro for a long time, and have had a used "late 2007" intel Mac Pro on standby for a few years. Time hasn't permitted the rebuild of my studio until now.
    Now I want to buy a later version of Logic Pro for the intel mac pro than the Logic Express I had. Logic Pro X requires Mac OS X 10.8, which in turn requires an "early 2008" intel Mac Pro or later, so I can't buy Logic Pro X. But Logic Pro 9 was sold through the App Store - which only offers Logic Pro X. I can't buy a used Logic Pro 9, nor can I buy a new one.
    How on earth do I go about buying any version of Logic Pro, when my mac is older than five years?

    It's not available on the App store anymore, but you can buy it on ebay for next to nothing since the launch of LPX.

  • Can't update Logic pro X

    I am using Logic Pro X 10.0.5 and would like to upgrade to 10.0.7 to fix bugs in the software. I can not find a way to upgrade from the app store or the software. How can I upgrade?

    I don't own it, so I can't say, but as an example, I own Aperture (also considered a pro app) and incremental updates (from 3.3 to 3.4 for instance) have been free updates; a new version 4 however would need to be purchased. As the OP's version is 10.0.5 and the current version is 10.0.7, it is reasonable to assume that this would be a free update - or is Apple charging $199.99 for an .02 update?
    Again, normally there is no charge for an incremental update... as incremental updates are free unless maybe, a major new feature is added....
    Logic Pro 9 to Logic Pro X... You buy the new App at the same price as anyone else... whether they previously owned Logic Pro 9 or not. In the USA the cost is $199.
    Logic Pro X 10.0.5 to 10.0.7 - No charge at all.
    See my previous post as to the likely reasons the OP cannot update from 10.0.5 to 10.0.7
    Tip: (in the hope you take this in the spirit it is intended..)
    Its best not to offer advice unless you know what you are talking about.... Logic Pro is a very specialized app and so offering advice without actually using the program and knowing how it works.. is likely to cause more confusion and misunderstandings rather than help.

  • How can I uninstall Logic Pro 9 from my old computer and reinstall on my new computer?

    Pardon the newbie question. I plan to upgrade to a new computer. I have Logic Pro 9 and Mainstage on my current computer and a bunch of other paid software. How can I migrate these paid apps/software to my new computer?
    thanks for any help.

    If you installed them from a DVD, you need to install that DVD onto the new computer. If you got them from the Mac App Store, redownload them from there for free.
    Having previously purchased an application on DVD or from the iTunes App Store does not allow a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

  • HT5809 How can I open Logic Pro X without any bus sends assigned?

    Hi, I was used to work in Logic Pro 9 with my channel strip clean for every track and work my way through depending on my project, but using Logic Pro X every time I open it or any track, it comes with 2 bus sends and I don't want this to happen, how can I solve this? thanks!

    When I load an Audio or Software Instrument track there is 1 unused send on the Channel Strip in my Track Inspector and/or 2 in the Mixer view. They are unassigned which is good and no problem, they are ready to be used.  They only get autofilled if I select a "Patch" from the Library.  If you've opened a project from a Template, it likely has a Patch already assigned to a track/channel strip.

  • 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?
