It's not a bug. Although Logic 8 will run under 10.7.x and 10.8.x the installer contains PPC code which simply does not run in 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9. The app is fine, the installer is the issue.
Some research on this issue has led me to the conclusion that the commonly held conception that the installer has PPC code is flatly incorrect.
That misconception is due to the fact that the PowerPC dialog box is triggered by any attempt to launch the installer app.
The "bug" I reference triggers this dialog box; not PPC code within the Logic Pro 8 app.
At the end of the day, the result is the same: the installer app will NOT work in Mt. Lion without modification. I have been given a tip on how to make a modification that will allow an analogous program's installer app work in Mt. Lion, but since I do not have access to a copy of Logic Pro 8, I cannot test this theory.
So, yes, the best approach is to be sure it is fully installed before the upgrade!

DNS problems with Snow Leopard. Can't upgrade to Mountain Lion either.

My Macbook Pro has been working quite well since I got it just over a year ago, until last week when I shut it down to go stay at my parents house. I turned it on when I got there and it automatically connected to the network because i go there often, however when I tried to open up a browser it would not work. I opened up several of the other browsers that I have but all of them kept saying they couldn’t connect to the server. I thought perhaps my dad had changed the router settings or something since last time I'd been there since the internet was working perfectly at my house only two hours previous. He said he hadn't changed anything and he was right, the internet worked perfectly through my sisters PC and through his ipad and my iphone. I later took it round to a friend’s house where it remembered his network too but still would not open addresses in the browser and when I finally got home to my house, I found I had the same problem. With every network I connected to I could update my apps and software, use my torrent client, ping certain IP's and connect with various other things that require internet connection, but the browser still never worked. After some research I came to the conclusion that it was most likely a DNS issue, I found this odd as I had not changed any sort of settings at all recently, except for turning the firewall on, which I turned off be3fore trying to troubleshoot. I have tried virtually everything that has been suggested on the internet like Flushing DNS cache, resetting PRAM, bringing my network to the top, turning airport on and off, connecting through ethernet, renewing DHCP lease, using google IP as DNS, checking for set proxies, repairing disk permissions, resetting router, checking router settings, the list goes on and on. The last thing I tried was to copy the com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist file then delete the old one and paste the new one back in, since then my Mac cannot connect to the internet in any of the previous ways.
After pulling my hair out for days, I thought the only option left was to upgrade to Mountain Lion, which I was planning on doing anyway. After downloading it though, I came to the option to select the disk I want to install to only to see my primary and only disk open my Mac coloured faintly and telling me that "This disk cannot be used to start up the computer". After more research I found that there were a few issues, none of which I have. I’ve never used time machine so there is no issue with any set partition for it, I have no other partitions on it at all either so I cannot use the resizing trick that seems to help most people. I would normally just backup all my data at this point and do a fresh install, but haven't got the funds to purchase a another TB at this point and I have over 650GB worth of valuable data on the Mac. Could someone pleeeease help me!?!?!

You cannot go to Mountain Lion, as stedman1 states.
But you can upgrade to Lion, possibly. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2404

I have a mac book with snow leopard. Can I upgrade to the lion os

I have a mac book ( couple years old) and would like to know if I am able to install the lion OS from the app store?

We would need more details regarding your MacBook. But it has to be minimum Core2Duo processor and 2GB of RAM. If you go to the Apple Menu select About this Mac for the info.

As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.

No. The items on your hard drive are not dependent on your Apple ID (documents in particular).

Will Photoshop CS6 work with Snow Leopard or must I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the Mac Book Pro?

I will be purchasing PhotoShop CS6 & installing on my Mac Book Pro. Adobe tells me that I should upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard in order for it to work best. Any thoughts on this? Thank you, Paul

You can use it on Snow Leopard without any problem. However, Apple updates graphic drivers and more things, so it could run better on Mountain Lion, but as I said, if you don't want to upgrade, keep on Snow Leopard because it will run properly.
Probably, Adobe is referring to the fact that Photoshop could be working in 32-bit because the kernel on Snow Leopard starts into 32-bit by default, and Mountain Lion is a 64-bit operating system. In this case, you will see an improvement

I have Snow Leopard, But I cant upgrade to Mountain Lion, can I upgrade to Lion?

I have an old MacBook, from 2006 and currently have Snow Leopard installed (after purchasing it in 2010), I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion mainly because I want the Xcode 4 which looks 100% better than the current Xcode I have. However, when I try to buy the OS X Mountain Lion it tells me I do not have the correct processor. After a little research I saw an article that said some OS X Lion users could not upgrade to Mountain Lion because Mac is no longer supporting its older models like MacBooks before 2008 or something like that.
So this lead me to the idea maybe I don't have to upgrade to Mountain Lion, maybe I could upgrade to Lion and still be able to get Xcode 4. So, I tried to find a way to upgrade to OS X Lion, but I could only find the upgrade to Mountain Lion. Which is frustrating because I don't want to buy a brand new MacBook just to get Xcode 4, its nice, but not that nice. But Apple should allow me to at least upgrade to Lion, because they decided to no-longer support this older hardware I am still using.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; Lion requires a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM. You don't need to buy a brand new Mac in any case.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

If I have OS X 10.5.8 installed, how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion? Do I need Snow Leopard first?

I have a MacBook Pro from 2008, and I would like to install Mountain Lion, but I currently have 10.5.8 (which I think is Tiger?). Do I need Snow Leopard first in order to get Mountain Lion? Where can I buy Mountain Lion (since I can't get Mac App Store with my current OS...
Thanks!

You'll need to purchase Snow Leopard (10.6) from the Apple Store before you can use the App Store application.

I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

If y have logic pro 9, why i don't can upgrade to logic pro x ?

You can, for $199 - which is cheaper than all the previous updates.

I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion my printer stop working, How do I make it work again?

This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

Can I upgrade to mountain lion and skip snow leopard from my OS X 10.6.8?

Hi guys, Im not sure on this thus any one can advice me on this?
I'v missed the snow leopard upgrade and now came the mountain lion; can I just upgrade and down the m.lion directly? Or do I need the snow leopard in order to install the mountain lion?

Mac OS X 10.6.8 is Snow Leopard and can be upgraded directly to Mountain Lion 10.8 without going through Lion 10.7.
