How do I transfer logic 9 to my new Mac Mini?

I purchased a new 2011 Mac Mini and I need to Install Logic studio from a Mac Book Pro that has the logic app on it, or from the Logic Install Disc's. The Mini does not have a CD/DVD Drive, so what would be the best way to go about getting logic on my new Mini ?

Purchase an Apple DVD SuperDrive.  Time and time again you will find that you need it.    Many recommend that you create a DVD master install disk. 
This is an area where I would not try to save money.

  • I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

    I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
    Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

    I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
    Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
    Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
    And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

  • How to install windows xp on bootcamp on new Mac mini?

    How can i install windows xp on bootcamp on new Mac mini?
    I know that i should get an external usb optical drive, but buying such hardware for one use is a waste of money. Is there any other method?
    I currently own a MacBook white, and really like the configuration. I it possible to copy the image of bootcamp to new mac mini? If so, what will happen to hardware and drivers?

    Let me get this right:
    1- copy the exact image of the winxp installation dc to USB
    2- start bootcamp assistant, go through everything, till rebooting
    3- boot from USB (hold ALT and select the USB volume)
    4- go through winxp setup and done!
    Am I missing anything?
    I think that USB would be readable only on Mac os or winxp, but will the winxp installer read from USB?
    Correct me if wrong.
    Having read further websites, I am now a bit more dubious you can do this, at least with an XP installer.
    However if you have a USB memory stick and an existing Windows computer (even a Boot Camp one) or can borrow one you could try using the free WinToFlash utility to make a supposedly bootable USB memory stick of the installer. See http://wintoflash.com/overview/en/
    The problem is XP predates EFI firmare and XP only really knows BIOS firmware. As such (supposedly) XP would have problems booting from a USB device fully - it might lose connection part way through. Windows Vista and 7 do support EFI firmware.
    The other approach I mentioned of temporarily moving the hard disk from the Mini to the MacBook so you can use the MacBook internal CD/DVD drive would work - be careful of the cables. Fortunately a new Mac mini and an old MacBook are two of the easier models to get at the hard disk. See http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook-Core-2-Duo-Hard-Drive-Replacement/514/1 (they also list other MacBook models) and http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-Mac-Mini-Mid-2011-Hard-Drive-Replacement/ 6422/1
    Regardless of which method you try, the first step would be on the Mac mini to run Boot Camp Assistant and to create the partition for Windows. Then via either method try booting from a Windows XP installer.
    As I have taken Macs apart many times, I personally might go the swapping the hard disk over route.

  • How can I put Acrobat 8 on a new Mac mini without an optical drive?

    I want to install Acrobat 8 on a new Mac mini that does not have an optical drive but only have the original disc.
    How can I get it on the new machine?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with a new Mac mini because of the change in OS. However, you can find the installer download instructions here:

  • How do I transfer logic pro from my existing mac to my new macbook pro with no cd drive?

    I have logic already installed on my mac desktop. I have just bought a macbook pro and I am trying to install my legitimate copy of logic onto my new mac, unfortunately Apple in their wisdom have removed the cd drive so the simplest option i.e. use the install disc is no longer an option..
    I have tried using 'remote disc' but my desktop is not transferring the information this way, apparently it is because I have not upgraded to yosamite. I don't want to upgrade to yosamite as it has compatibility issues with another music software I use (maschine). Basically if I upgrade to yosamite I won't be able to use maschine.
    If anyone out there can offer me a solution to my problem I will be very grateful. thanks

    Assuming you are talking about the boxed set of Logic Studio (Logic Pro 9) on DVDs the only solutions are to either borrow or purchase an external CD/DVD drive and use that with your new MBP.
    Amazon sells a very reasonably priced 'Amazon Basics' external CD/DVD drive suitable for the process...
    http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Portable-External-Optical-Drive/dp/B003M0NT1M /ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416924310&sr=8-1&keywords=CD+DVD+external+drive+amazon+ basics
    Do NOT try and copy Logic across from your Mac to your MBP using something like Time Machine or Migration Assistant... 99% of the time, doing so results in all kind of weird issues later on.
    Just install Logic pro 9 plus all it's content from scratch using the DVDs provided with Logic Studio Boxed set.....

  • How do I transfer my info from my old Mac Mini to my new one?

    I have two Mac Mini's.  The old one is a Power Mac 10.5.8 (no Intel) and the new one is a dual system running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.  I only have one monitor and a wireless connection.  How do I transfer my older files and applications from my old Mac to the new one?  I bought a 40/80 Firewire cable and connected it to the proper ports, and changed the monitor setting to shared...held down the T and restarted the old Mac...still nothing.  (These were tips I got from forums.)  Anyone have other ideas? 
    Baring that, I also tried to save my files to a dvd and put them in a burn folder, clicked burn, but it wouldn't burn.  I never used it before...am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Anna

    Apple provides setup and migration services at your local Apple Store. The do all the work and help with any questions on use, configuration etc.

  • How do I transfer files from my old Power Mac Mini to my new one?

    Oops...thought I had to write the question in the above spot. 
    Question:  How do I transfer my files from my old Power Mac Mini to my new Intel based Mac Mini?  From what I read, I needed a 40/80 cable, which I bought.  However, I only have one monitor. 
    (I tried to copy files onto a blank dvd, but it wouldn't format and kept spitting the disk out) (?)

    Anna,
    Here is a discussion on the same topic that will save some typing:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15374867#15374867
    Jolly makes a good point about screen sharing.
    I prefer the firewire approach just because I have had more problems with ethernet connections than with firewire connections.  Both options work, firewire has just been easier for me when the operating system on the machines are different.  Read the options and post back if you would like additional coaching.

  • How do you transfer Safari bookmarks to a new MAC?

    I have a G4 Tower (Jaguar) but just got an iMac G5 (that will be Tiger). How do I transfer my Safari bookmarks to my new MAC? THX, Barb

    Your new iMac has a feature as part of the setup to migrate all your existing user settings (and applications if you wish) from your G4 (you connect the two systems using a Firewire cable), so that's probably the easiest way.
    If you just want the Safari bookmarks, though, and nothing else, they're in your users' Library -> Safari folder, the file names Bookmarks.plist. Just copy that file to the same folder on your new iMac.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I transfer my stuff to a new mac?

    I'm going to get a new mac for me and give my mum my old one! How do I set up my new one to have all my itunes and files etc and then re set my old one for my mum to use from scratch?

    Intel Macs shipped with 10.4.4 or later. Quark 6.5 is incompatible with them
    as Versiontracker says it works with 10.3 and 10.2 only. Quark 6.5.2 on the other hand is at least PowerPC compatible with 10.4, so it may work with Intel Macs under Rosetta:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31408
    Adobe InCopy 3.0.1 was part of CS 1, Adobe InCopy 4.0.1 was CS2.
    Looking up InCopy 3.0.1, it also says that it only works with 10.2 or 10.3.
    Also Adobe's CS 2 doesn't work with Version Cue on Intel Macs. You need to remove this before running Adobe CS 2 on Intel Macs. Looks like CS 1 is not compatible with Intel Macs.
    Please put forward future inquiries regarding 10.4 software compatibility to new topics posted in the Using Tiger forum:

    You'll get a wider audience, and won't confuse the original poster with questions that don't apply to them.

  • How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

  • HT1695 How do I link my iPad to my new Mac mini?

    I cannot seem to link my iPad to my new Mac mini. My iPhone worked automatically but not my iPad.

    Did you create a new iTunes account or update the old one ? If you updated the old account then you can tap on it in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with the updated version and it should get 'refreshed' on the iPad.
    If you created a new account then you can still log out of the old account and log in with the new one, but any content bought/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that account (so only that account will be able to download its content or app updates).
