How to upgrade Logic Pro 8 to Logic Pro 9 by downloading from the App Store

I have Logic Studio 8 currently taking up space on my Mac and not working at all after a foolish upgrade to Lion (from a Logic point of view).  I want to reconnect with it and want to upgrade to Logic 9.  The question I have is that if I simply go to the store to purchase will the new package recognise I still have Logic and upgrade for me (thereby keeping my original projects)?
If possible I would want to avoid losing all my previous work but I realise it might be lost to me.
Anyone done something similar?

Thanks Organism, I was about to go ahead and download 9 when I decided for one last time to see if Logic 8 would run for me.  Much to my surprise it did (and was stable)  I didn't have any additional audio interfaces in my iMac that might have screwed around with the system so it might be a false dawn but at least I am able to open all my old project folders.  The next challenge is to reconnect my Guitarport interface - I use this to record Guitar and Bass POD sounds into Logic.  If that works and my Midi keyboard works (no reason it shouldn't really) I'll be back in business.  Thanks for your post in any case.
I have absolutely no idea why Logic 8 works now where it didn't before though in case anyone asks

  • Can I re install logic after I purchased it  from the app store?

    can I re install logic after I purchased it from the app store? They say you can, but it won't allow me. Finally got logic pro 9 loaded. I recorded a test session,saved it,closed logic and when I went to re open logic the next day. My Logic icon was different ( it was the application icon not the silver record icon ) and I am unable to open my session or go to the app store to re install it. I can't find logic pro anywhere in my folders other than the application icon and that won't open.

    This is a User's Forum, yelling at us won't help. You have 90 days of customer support via telephone. Use them as they can interact with their system and hopefully get you back on track. Otherwise take it to them at the Genius Bar and have them make it good.

  • Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

    When I have a software update notification and I go to the 'Updates" tab of the App Store and click 'update',  the flash screen 'Sign in to download from the App Store comes up the the Apple ID is wrong and grayed out so I can't change it.  Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?
    I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on an IMAC 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Pages downloaded from the App-store refuses to save: Permission denied. How can I download a new one?

    Pages downloaded from the App-store refuses to save: Permission denied. How can I download a new one? Please Advice .

    Is the computer yours, and are you the Administrator or a user with administrator rights? Are you allowed to install software on the computer?
    Check your "purchased" list. Pages should show there, and if it's not installed it should read "install" next to it.
    Have you tried another mac? You can install the purchased software on another Mac by using your AppleID that you purchased the software with on the first mac.

  • I have my new HD in a USB enclosure connected to my MacBook Pro and I want to put a fresh copy of Mountain Lion on it. But I do not have an install DVD as I got ML as a download from the App Store. What do I do?

    I have my new HD in a USB enclosure connected to my MacBook Pro and I want to put a fresh copy of Mountain Lion on it. I'm told that I need to boot from the Installation Disk to start. But I do not have an install DVD as I got ML as a download from the App Store. Can I download ML from the App Store again, but this time directly to my new HD?

    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    You can also use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your present setup to it and boot from it.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    However, SOME external enclosures are not bootable, you will soon find out.

  • How can I avoid the message "Can't install java script because it was not downloaded from the App Store?

    I am trying to install an update for Java. The system won't allow it, saying I have specified "in Security" not to install any download not from the App Store. The only preferences pane I know of is the one on Safari, and it doesn't have anything about this. Am I looking in the wrong place? How can I get around it? I had the same trouble trying to install an Adobe Flash upgrade.

    When I use your hot link "these instructions" I get a  blank page.
    Here is the message I get on trying to install a Java Script update:
    This is frustrating in that
    the update is not available on the App store.
    it refers to security preferences I did not set and can't identify or locate--no such settings appear in Safari> security.
    Can you be more specific? Thanks.

  • When I attempt to download from the app store, the wrong apple id pre-populates.  How do I get the correct apple id to auto-fill so I can put in the right password and download apps?

    When my wife bought this ipad 18 months ago, she (or the store) set up an Apple ID that had the extension @me.com.  She never wrote down the password that was created.  Neither of us knew how to change the password and retrieve or create the new one.  When we started actually trying to download apps, this became a problem.  She called customer support before the first year of ownership ended, and they created a new Apple ID.  This ID works; we can go to the support site and log in with it, yada yada.  However, when I go to the app store and want to get a new app or update an existing app, the Apple ID login field prepopulates with her original ID, which is no good to us.  I can't find any way of putting in the new, valid Apple ID in this login field.  Why doesn't the app store give me the option to change the Apple ID this device wants to use?  How do I change this setting?  I'm in a time crunch, and we need to be able to download and use a few apps for some business purposes.

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

  • How do I transfer an app I downloaded from the App Store to iTunes / my iPhone?

  • An app will not completely download from the App Store to my iPhone 5S. Neither can I terminate the download by trying to delete it. The app is useless to me and so I would like to remove the icon from my home screen. How can I do this?

    I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away.  I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma.  Thank you kindly.

    What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
    You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents).
