How do I upgrade my logic from my PC to my Mac?
Idiot 101 for sure, but I'm just wondering if I can use my old product key# and/or USB insert from my PC version of Logic with my new Mac. I have a "hybrid" install disc but it asks for a much older version of Mac OS (9). I think the last version I had on the PC was Platinum 5.0 or something.
Must I buy an entirely new version? Or is there at least an upgrade available somehow, somewhere? Thanks - JT

I would buy the update to the new version.
You will need :
Your XSKey serial number. your original serial number.
Call Apple as well, for support after buying the upgrade.
I originally had the version 4.8 PC / Mac version too. But I did update regularly, and updated to the version 6 Mac only with no issues. Apple should have no problem honoring your legacy software.
Cheers

HT1444 how can I upgrade my macbook from 10.5.8 version to the latest version
how can I upgrade my macbook from OS X 10.5.8 version to the latest version?
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

how could iI upgrade my OS from Mac OS 10.5.8 to the Latest version Mountain Lion
Hello,
You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!
Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8 -
How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?
How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion? I'm guessing I have to first purchase Snow Leopard? Is there anyway to download or upgrade online?
First, determine how high you can upgrade.
SL requires an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Lion requires Core2Duo processor and 2 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Mountain Lion has higher requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Also review applications that do not work under Lion or ML to see if you will lose critical functionality: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Research first, as too many have discovered only after the upgrade that things are lost to them.
You can buy SL or Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE. SL is a disk ($19 single disk license, $29 for 5-user license). Lion will be a $19 download code to use in App Store that you get with SL. -

How can I upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8? I cannot find in in the Apple Store. Thanks.
As of now you can upgrade to Yosemite, but not to Mavericks, at the App Store.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

How do I upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8 on a MacPro?
How do I upgrade to Mavericks from OS 10.6.8? I've downloaded the software, but it tells me I need to have OS X 10.7. I can find all kinds of updates to 10.7, but I can't find 10.7 anywhere.
Not so hastily.

How do I upgrade my Logic Pro to Logic Pro X ?
If you bought it on the Mac App Store there are terms and information on how to contact Apple. Though I know few companies where a purchase 5-6+ months prior to a new release qualifies for a "free upgrade," but you're always welcome to try.

How do i upgrade to ios6 from ios6bata? (xp os)
how do i upgrade to ios6 from ios6bata? (xp os)
The dev forums available to developers has the GM IPSW download files. Once you download that file, open iTunes, do an Option(ALT) Update and select that file and it will verify the update and apply it to your device.
Log in and download from the developers portal, people have asked that question before and the answers are in the there.
