I'm struggling to install Logic Pro 9 upgrade on Mountain Lion

Way back we bought one of the last pre-Intel G5 in order to do music processing. We also bought Logic Studio v6 or 7. Then we upgraded to Logic Studio 8 and later decided to use a macbook pro instead of the G5. So far so good. We then upgraded to Logic Pro 9 and can run this on Lion on the Macbook Pro.
My partner is now working away and takes his Macbook with him, so we want to set-up Logic 9 on my macbook pro which is running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Once this is done we will take it off his machine, so not pirating in any way.
I have managed (at great length) to install Logic Studio 8 on my machine using Pacifist, and I can open it and create projects etc... I now want to install Logic Pro 9 on this machine but I get a message saying that a qualifying copy of Logic or MainStage was not found on the disk. To complicate matters, we can't find either the logic pro 9 disk or an image copy, so I downloaded from the following link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
which I found in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4948612
I have already spent many many hours fiddling with this, does anyone know how I can get around this problem?

Im using LPX and have found it to work well.... and no less stable than LP9 in terms of general stability. There are some bugs but given we are still in the early stages of development, that is not surprising and is no different to how it was with LP8 and 9 in their early days. I should add I haven't come across any "showstopper" bugs that affect my own personalo workflow and method of using Logic... just a few niggles and minor annoyances... that for the most part can be worked around if they haven't already been fixed in the 3 updates that have come out since initial release.
I have had no real issues with importing LP9 projects into LPX other than of course, the lack of 32bit Plugin support in LPX which means LP9 projects that contain 32bit plugins.. will not fully import into LPX. The midi/audio data imports ok.. the 32bit plugins will be missing however... if you don't have equivilant 64bit versions installed. For me, this issue has been very minimal simply because almsot all the plugins i use, have already been updated to 64bit versions over the last few years.
There has also been an issue with certain parameters in the track/region Inspector after import into LPX, containing weird values.. I have only had this issue once out of maybe 40+ LP9 Projects and in this one case i simply reset the values and all was well. Other users have reported different levels of how often this occurs.
Note: Once a project has been opened and then resaved in LPX the LPX version cannot be opened in LP9 as project compatibility is only backwards and not forwards.
If you cannot find your disk and serial..(which you will also need) Contact Apple as they may be able to provide you with replacements disks if they have any left. Bear in mind if, as it appears, your LP9 is an upgrade from LP8 you will also need your previous LP8 serial as well as your upgrade LP9 serial to properly install Logic on a new Mac. Once installed you can and in fact must... then update LP9 to 9.1.8 via software updates in LIon or Mountain LIon... for Logic to under those OS versions.

How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion??

Hi!
How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion?
For example, if tomorrow will be new updates for Logic Pro for exapmle 9.1.8. (now I have 9.1.7) Will I not able to get it?? Now should I buy the second Logic pro??
Recently I have got answer from App Store support:
"Max, since you have not purchased the app in the App Store, you can't get updates directly in App Store. In this case, you will need to purchase the updated version in the App Store so you can get further updates."
It's... I bought Logic Pro 9 + MainStage + + +++ .... in the Apple Retail Store and what now?? Updates works perfect in Snow Leopard.
I can't understand...
Can you help me please? =)

Max,
Rest assurred, you will get updates via the App store. What will happen is when you install the box version, the Mac App Store will ping when there is an update to download(for free), much like any other Apple app(Garageband, iWork, etc) regardless of where you bought it from. If it's installed, it will check for updates.
If the Mac App store doesn't show an update that you know is out, simply down it directly from support.apple.com and apply it.
Hope this helps. If so, LIKE the post.

Logic Pro 8 and Mountain Lion

So I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and have run into a problem when running Logic Pro 8.
First off, I'm still using Logic Pro 8 because until now I've had no problems with it and have seen no reason to purchase version 9 (If it's not broke, don't fix it).
Well, since installing Mountain Lion, Logic crashes every time I try to do and (Option-Drag) Time stretch. Since this is a feature I use almost constantly this has become a HUGE problem!! I love Mountain Lion otherwise so don't particularly wan't to go back to Snow Leopard but it's looking like it could be the only way forward. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know a way to get around it? I've seen a few suggestions to open Logic in 32 bit mode but can't figure out how to do it with Logic 8, all of the suggestion are for Logic 9 and dont have the same path. If anyone can help or has any suggesetion that would be much apprictiated!
Cheers

I am not, but if Logic 8 does not work it is not because of 32/64 bit limitations, as OS X could not haver made significant changes without also breaking Logic 9 nad a bunch of other 32bit Applications. 32bit Apps work fine in ML and always have, and 64bit bootloaders existed on nearly all Mac Pros and even the old Xserve and they ran Logic 8 fine. The restrictions are most likely in the .plist files inside the .app file, the same way they were when trying to run older versions of Java which were also 'incompatible' due to .plist only listing up to 10.7 being compatible (this was important wen testing and running old Java programs). I would tell you how to edit it so that Logic could Launch normally but I don't have a copy of Logic 8 anymore to grab the original and make edits.
As mentioned in the link you can run Logic 8 by doing the following:
1. launch Terminal
2. type (exactly, including quotes and ampersand)
If logic is not in Applications, substitute the formoer portion of the directory by dragging the Logic.app file into Terminal, then add /Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro" & to the end, make sure there a respeech marks at either end.
"/Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro" &
3. press ENTER (and then minimize the Terminal window)
4. look (and hear) at Logic Pro Studio 8 roaring out at your favourite Lion
5. enjoy!
6. When you're finished recording/playing in Logic just quit it as usual (don't forget to save your job)
7. you can now quit Terminal too.
This will bypass the .plist files in the .app by running the binary directly

Will the Zoom R16 work as an interface in Logic Pro X under Mountain Lion?

I've searched and found some indications that the Zoom R16 will work and has problems with earlier versions of Mac OS; so my question is actually will the R16 work under Mountain Lion (GB, Logic Pro, etc) as a control AND a recording interface?
I'll be using it on either a late 2011 MBP core i7 16GB Ram solid state HD (live playing, live recording) or on a late 2012 iMac core i7 32GB Ram solid state HD with Thunderbolt and USB3.0 outboard drives (recording).
Any input would be appreciated... I've been unable to definitely tell if it's an "install the driver, install Logic Pro, and then rock n roll" or it's a "doesn't work correctly, makes noise, crashed my system AND killed my pet rabbit" kind of thing.
Thanks,
Les

Thanks Art of Sound. I did see that post but it didn't give me a warm feeling about the Zoom.
My bad, I should have posted back after I messed around with this. It turned out that my problem was due to some kind of intermittent connection within the Zoom itself.
I got another one, and it's working fine now as a Mackie Control. It's a little arcane getting it hooked up in Logic (mostly due to inexperience on my part), but so far it seems to be working fine...
If I can spare anyone the frustration/confusion:
Basically:
Download the latest and greatest Zoom R16 driver from their web site and install (I'm using OSX ML and it works fine with Logic Pro X).
Plug in Zoom R16 via USB 2.0 cable, (then on the Zoom itself, select USB, then AUDIO INTERFACE? (Enter), then SETTING? (Enter).
You may need to open Audio/Midi Preferences and set that to the ZOOM R16.
Open Logic and hopefully it sees the Zoom.
Under main Logic Pro X header, select Control Surfaces>Setup
Find and add "Mackie Control" (there are other ones, this one works, can't speak to the rest).
Then (and this is the part that I kept missing) make sure to select the Mackie Control (so it gets a blue box around it) and then make sure the Output Port and Input Port are set to Zoom R16_R24 using the little up/down arrow thingies at the right of each box. I didn't see these/figure out how to select at first... I'm a DA NOOB.
That's it. Open a new multitrack project, assign your inputs to channels, and off you go!
Recording:
All inputs work, level control and faders (which aren't motorized, so it can be a little confusing at first)
Transport and control buttons work, the jog/shuttle is useful.
There are 5 function buttons that by default change the Logic screen setups (can be programmed differently)
Track button seems to mute/unmute only.
The on-board condenser mikes work, if you want them (channels 7 & 8 on the Zoom). Ugh.
Electric guitar direct in seems ok, and a Shure SM57 worked fine. I'll be working with some better mikes hopefully this weekend.
I have it working happily with a late 2011 MBPro, and a late 2012 iMac.
For the money, considering it's a stand-alone 8 track digital recorder (seems to work ok for that purpose so far) as well, it's actually sort of cool. Setup your mixdown in Logic as a wave project, and pull the files off the SD card (Zoom can be configured as a USB card reader easily). Will record at high sample rates allegedly.
I won't be so lazy in future, and I'll report my on-going experience with it.

TS2565 logic pro 9 and mountain lion

I got a prompt saying that Logic does not work with my current operating system. I have to believe that it not corect.
I am running Mountain Lion with Logic Pro 9.
I got the upgrade to 9.1.8 but the installer can't find the App. How to I make it see the app, which is in my applications folder?

Mac Pro early 2008 is apparently supported, according to Apple - everything will work except for Airdrop.
From Apple's website:-
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

Vst to Audio Unit Adapter Logic Pro OS X Mountain Lion

Hi,
So after looking on Google, Fxpansion seemed to be the most famous software used for converting VSTs to Audio Units onto Logic Pro. After buying and downloading it, I figured their company would not provide support anymore, and their software was not compatible with OS X Mountain Lion.
So now that Fxpansion doesn't provide the service I was looking for, I am wondering what you guys are using in order to use VSTs such as Massive or Sylenth in Logic Pro?
Thank you in advance!

Its worth noting.. because a lot of people get the wrong idea about such 'wrappers' .....
...that only Mac versions of VSTs work with such 'wrappers' and not Windows versions and as almost every Mac VST is available as an AU plugin anyhow.. such 'wrappers' have become obsolete these days.
Massive and Sylenth are both available as AU plugins.. However, Sylenth is only available as a 32bit plugin and therefore will not work with LPX.
You can use VEP5 however, to run 32bit plugins in LPX but if thats all you use VEP5 for, it is a pricey solution.
Its also worth noting that if you have a PC with Windows installed, lying around.. you can run VEP5 on the PC and that will allow you to access Windows VST plugins that are insatlled on the PC.. with Logic Pro (9 and X) on your Mac

Does logic pro 8 work mountain lion?

I've updated my Mac Xeon with Mountain Lion and now my Logic Pro 8 is giving me a midi conflict error. How can I fix this or does Logic Pro 8 even work Mountain LIon? Can anyone help me?

I know.. I have both read and taken part in that thread but again....
The majority of peopole who run Logic 9.1.8 and Lion or now Mountain Lion do not have those issues... and because they do not, they don't post in such threads.. so you get a distorted view of the true numbers of people with problems.
Those that do have issues, will naturally post up in such threads... but that doesn't mean they are the majority of users... They are just the 'loudest' and quite rightly so.
I will also say that for me personally, 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.5/9.1.6 was and still is the most stable platform for Logic of all of the various combinations available... but apart from an annoying issue with the "airplay' dialog box that keeps popping up in 9.1.8 with ML... and the GUI lag affecting a few plugins.. I don't have any major issues with Logic and ML... so I can happily live and work with that setup...
Finally, it's also worth noting that with my own client base.. initially with Lion and then Mountain Lion the number of clients who had problems was much higher.. Probably closer to 20-25% had issues.. but most of those issues were resolved by updates to incompatible drivers/3rd party plugins and so on...
Once those kind of issues were resolved... as I said earlier, the number of my clients who still have major issues running uner Lion or ML with Logic Pro 9 has dropped to less than 5%... and to me, that respresents a minority of all users... like it or not.

How to install Java after upgraded to Mountain Lion?

I cannot open the website on my iMac that requires Java after I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion (from OS X 10.6.8). I tried with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, but the result is the same. I went Apple - Software Update, but it came back saying "No updates available". What is the solution? Thanks!

It's inside of the "Utilities" folder that is inside of your "Applications" folder.

Logic Pro 9 and Mountain Lion, compatible or not?

I'm confused: RoaringApps says LP is not compatible with ML.
Apple suggests it is.
I have 9.1.7.
Anyone know for usre, please?
Thanks!

I don't have VSL running here so can't say for certain. But it should work fine - all of my instruments and plugins are working without issue (including NI Komplete, Wallander, Virus TI, Omnisphere, and even EW Play, which has been known to stop working just by looking at it funny).
As always, make sure you have a way back before upgrading - maybe via Time Machine or a recent clone of your system drive.

Someone please help!! Can't install logic pro 9 on my new macbook pro 2012

Hi guys,

I bought the new macbook pro 15" running mac osx 10.7.4.

I installed logic pro 9 as in upgrade to Logic pro 8.
Ive tried installing logic pro 8 on the new laptop but it wont let me, says the new macbookpro doesnt support this program anymore.
Now ive tried installing logic 9 on the new macbook pro and it wont allow me. It wont accept my product liscence, I've tried it a hundred times, but it just wont let me.
Im not planning on using the older laptop anymore, should i uninstall logic from it? If so... how come i can't find the location of the liscence?
really hope hearing from u guys soon....
AJ

Sounds like the same issue as this to me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18640824#18640824
The license says you can only install on one laptop and one desktop machine. Try uninstalling it from the old laptop and see if that fixes it.

How do I install Logic Pro 8.0.2 on the latest macbook pro?

I just bought a new macbook pro retina and realised that it does not have a disc slot
to put the installation disc in!
How do I install Logic Pro 8.0.2 on the latest macbook pro?
Also is there a way for me to upgrade it to Logic Pro X?
Please help!

Forget Logic Pro 8 on your new macbook, it will not work. The "upgrade" to LPX will cost you around 200 bucks and can be acquired via the App Store.
Have a nice day!

Installing Logic Pro 7.2 on my MacBook Pro

I need to install Logic Pro 7.2 on my laptop. I originally purchased Logic Pro 6 and then bought the upgrade to Logic Pro 7. So my question is do I need to install 6 then do the upgrade to 7? I have an intel Mac Book Pro 17'. Will I have any issues installing 6 first? Or is there another way around this? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jose
MacBook Pro & PPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I don't have the full version on 7.2.....I bought the upgrade only from 6. however since 6 was made not for the new Universal binary Intel chip I am not sure if I could go that route.
