Installation Fail on Logic Studio

Hey all
I recently purchased Logic Studio 9 (new user--not an upgrade) and for some reason, the installation fails a bit more than halfway through the first disk, every time. I have tried only installing one component at a time and it still fails. I tried installing it to an external hard drive, no go. My OS and the rest of my software updates are completely up to date. I also have plenty of free space on my hard drive. I'm at a loss here, and not particularly computer literate. Any ideas?
I did call tech support in the US as I originally bought my computer there, and it's free for me to call the US from my computer (and 25p/minute for a domestic call here in the UK), but as I bought the product in the UK they wanted me to call the Cork location, which is fine, but they are apparently just going to send me a new disk anyway. Is an error with the initial disk most the most likely problem? I'd be very irritated if I waited through this stupid Royal Mail strike for another disk of my £399 product just to see the same error again.
Thanks in advance!

Ahh that would be terrible! I called them this morning and they said that they are sending me a new disc, but it could take up to a week, which is already silly, but three weeks for such an expensive program, when it's a manufacturing error, is absolutely ludicrous. Right now I'm looking for someone else that has it but the odds of me finding someone that lives near to me, at university, with Logic Studio 9 are slim to say the least. Anyway, thanks for answering, and hopefully this works.

Installation failing in Logic Studio. Big Problem!

Hello, I broke my Macbook recently and got a new one through insurance. Basically my copy of Logic was installed on the broken one and now I am installing it on the new one, I was told that you get two downloads on different systems. I tried to install Logic twice with the same disc as before and it gets quite a way through the installation and then says this installation has failed, contact support. Has anyone else had this problem, really need to make some beats.
Thanks, Reuben.

This is almost exactly my situation, except my MacBook Pro was stolen inside my car which was also stolen. I got the car back but no MacBook Pro. I try to install Logic Studio on my new MacBook Pro and it hangs on "Writing Files" for a while, then it gives me the "Installation Failed" prompt. Anything you find out please let me know.

Installing Logic Express from Logic Studio Package

Does any user, or Apple, know if it's possible to performa a Logic Express installation from my Logic Studio package, i.e. not the whole Studio installation, but the limited version?
TIA,
-gg

In the installer simply untick everything you can untick and you should be able to do a "skeleton" install of about 7.5 GB. It'll still be Logic Pro though, not express. But installing the app only is not possible, some content +cannot be deselected+ in the installer.

Logic Studio 9 - Installation Failed - HELP!!!

Macbook Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM - 4 GB
10.6 Snow Leopard
I just purchased a brand new copy of Logic 9 and installation has failed every single time I've tried, for hours now.
Have tried installing w/ and w/out jampacks and audio content, nothing seems to work...am I doing something wrong?
Thank you so much for any help.

Hi,
You don't give much info in terms of how and when your installation failed. From what you say, though, you might have defective disks (or maybe a hardware problem), and no matter what you do, they won't work. In Denver you have an apple store? Take them and your computer in and let them try to install, and go from there.
Good luck,
Ray

im trying to install logic studio and it keeps failing

The reason I asked is because I don't understand how you managed to install 9.1.1 on your iMac...
So... out of curiosity, as you didn't actually answer the question... how did you install 9.1.1 on your Mac given the DVD version is 9.0.0?
As to your questions...
You may install Logic Pro 9 from the Logic Studio package legally on one desktop and one laptop you own... as per the Logic Studio license terms and conditions..
However, had you purchased Logic Pro 9 via the App store, rather than via the boxed edition of Logic Studio 2.0..   that licence, is different and allows you to install LP9 on any number of computers you own for your own private use.. using your Apple ID and the purchased tab of the Mac App Store application.
If you feel Apple should have done a better job in notifying you about the requirements of Logic Pro 9 in reference to the 9.1.6 update being needed under Mountain Lion, why don't you contact them and tell them... via the feedback form,
https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html
because Apple isn't here in any real sense..... and therefore won't read your comments or respond
This is a User supported community... and we are all users here, trying to assist other users as and when needed... which I guess you were not aware of?

I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio 7 and I cannot find the serial number. It's suppose to be in one of the installation booklets. I'm not sure which one. Could you help me?

I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio that i bought back in 2008, and I cannot find the serial number. I think I barely remember running into this problem before with this application. When i use the installation disc it tells me that the serial number is located in one of the installation booklets, and it doesn't explain to me which one. Can you help me?
Thank You!
Steven harris!

Logic Studios install fail - external harddrive

Hey! i have bought my self a Logic Studio 9 at my local Apple store, and is currently trying to install the program on my Mac Book Pro (10.5.8). Since i create, store and use a lot of movies my harddisk is full and i have bought an external hard drive (iomega prestige desktop hard drive 1Tb). Since i don't have the required space available on my harddisk, i tried to install logic studios on my external harddrive.
The problem occurred after i had completed the formation the external hard-drive demanded. When i try to install the applications on my external harddrive it, however, says: "You can not install Logic Studio on this volume. This software must be installed on the running system". My questions are therefore:
Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Do i have to delete over 20 gb of stuff from my harddrive to be able to install the applications?
Help will be highly appreciated, since i have spent 450 $ on these programs.

Excellent, i now have the applications installed! thanks a lot, one question remains though.. i still can't install the additional content, when i try to use the logic studios installer to only install the content it still says ""You can not install Logic Studio on this volume. This software must be installed on the running system" so it forces me to install it on my harddrive. Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

Thanks Greg

Brand new computer? Brand new program? I'd call Apple and let them figure it out for you.

Logic Studio Installation on other computer problems?

I have logic studio on my macbook pro, and I bought a friend a macbook pro for christmas. I then registered it in his name.
I am at his house fairly often and as I haven't used my other installation for Logic, would like to install it on his macbook, to use logic when there.
I see you have to own the 2 computers the 2 installations are on and one has to be a laptop and one a desktop. I would like to install logic on the other laptop as I did pay for it, but am concerned about downloading it onto his hard disk and it doesn't work, either because it would be on 2 laptops or because I've registered the laptop in his name.
Does anyone know if it would work?
Should I register Logic on the 2nd laptop in my name or his(as the laptop is registered)?
Thanks in advance.

yea odd indeed.
anyway, having my hands full with getting started. This is my first time ever on Mac and Logic. but things have been so straight forward and easy up till now. (except the little installation thingy ;))
I have already recorded a little piece by my condensate Mic. and things sound pretty cool.
Now i have to get used to things and know the working my way around.
this is just damnationlike cool.
One thing that am thinking of is that when i run GR3 and start LS8 then the sound of guitar through GR3 gets rusty.
I wonder whether i should just record a file by GR3 software with all effects and sounds and then import the file into logic for close up on things.
cheers
You can open Guitar Rig IN Logic, if you have installed the AU (Audio Unit) plugin. From what I understand you use it standalone (as a separate application), but you can use it as a plugin as well. And your proposed workflow is possible, but it leaves more control if you record your guitar cleanly, and and add the effect as a plugin on the guitar track.

Why wont my Logic Studio installer fully install?

i had manually uninstalled logic studio months ago.. now that i have an external hd im installing it again but it wont install many of the other components.. they are grayed out and uncheckable (soundtrack pro, compressor, apple loops, and many more)... i need help so that i can have logic studio on my mac and the additional content on my external hd...
thanks in advance!

Although not offically supported, there is a workaround people have been using to get Logic 8 to work on Lion. All you need to do is highlight the Logic 8 app in finder, right-click, select "Show Package Contents", double click on the "Contents" folder and inside of this folder is a folder that's labled "MacOs." If you double-click on the "Logic Pro" file inside, Logic 8 will open. You might be able to make an alias of this file to cut out the other steps, but I haven't tried it.
This works for people who already had Logic 8 installed and upgraded to Lion.

Final Cut Studio 3 & Logic Studio 2 order of installation

Greetings Apple Discussions:
About to install the latest versions of Final Cut Studio 3 and Logic Studio 2 on a Mac Pro (2009) 1TB HD. Which one should be installed first?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Thanks for your information Edgar:
I recalled Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio 1 having this problem. Thats why I asked if it persisted in Final Cut Studio 3 and logic Studio 2.
Here is the link to the problem in the previous versions.

Hey Bill, which Suite did you install first?
Maybe I should install Logic Studio First?

How can A new Logic Studio (9.1.1) not be compatible with Lion?!

***! first Lion makes my 11 Rack's software inopperable, and now I finally got Logic Studio and it says I can't use Logic Pro because it's version 9.1.1. I was already having trouble, and after an our with apple phone support and a few more installing the software it says the install was a success, but then underneath it reads an error occurred and it failed. I never realized how confusing (and confused) Apple can be. Why have an app on a DAW called Compressor, yet having nothing to do with actual audio compressors, What the **** is it ?!! Is it a Logic Studio or a Logic Pro?!! The box only says Studio, what version depends on how knowledgible the salesperson is.There's no way to tell otherwise except by the price. So why then does the app say Logic Pro, which by the way, is the only app (apparently) outdated. All the other apps of the Logic Studio suite bundle have no problems being openend. But as if this isn't confusing enough, check this out:
       I barely had my brand spankin' new MacBook Pro (15') three months, and it never let me down, even when some supposed tech suggests I take it in for a look because of their personal lack of resourcefulness. In other words, if they can't figure it out then it must be my computer. This has happened to me atleast five times already on seperate occasions, and how many of those times was it actually necessary - count 'em - ZERO! It took me a few seconds to figure it out myself after hanging up, and this is my first computer. But I'm getting off course, let me reiterate:
      It says on page 11 of the installation manual "Important:Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5...will be deselected if Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system" (due to incompatibility issues - what else is new). So my first mistake was calling Apple support, and incidentally, even though I payed extra for a three year support contract at the time of my purchasing my Mac, Logic Studio is only covered for 90 days (I wonder why). I called because of all the items checked for installation, Compressor was grayed out. Turns out that the apps in question don't get along with the iLife '11 Suite, WHAT!!! Avid (Pro Tools, Eleven Rack, etc.) and Apple is one thing. They're competitors, so I wouldn't be surprised the sudden incompatibiliy issues with Lion and 11 Rack was no accident (just like M-Audio's Axiom Pro, also owned by Avid, working best with Pro tools is niether a coincidence) but now I feel I'm giving their resourcefulness too much credit, because now I stand dumbfounded at how a flag-ship Apple product has discrepencies with another flag ship Apple product...wait, what? Did they forget when comprising the new Lion OS, that they were also a leader in Audio Software?
      Anyway, I was sent an email with these directions: 1. From the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
                                                                                2. Open the Terminal application from the Utilities folder.
                                                                                 3. Enter the following case-sensative command exactly as it appears:
                                                                                    sudo pkgutil --forget con.apple.pkg.AppleintermediateCodec
                                                                                4. Enter an administrative password when prompted.
                                                                                5. Install compressor from the Logic Studio installer.
                                                                                 6. From the Apple menu choose Software Update.
                                                                                 7. Install any available updates.
    Anyway we never made it past #4. The prompt by the way (omitted in the diections) is a solid standing rectangle at the end, as opposed to an empty one, but we're just supposed to magically know this is the prompt. I start typing (after being told to press return - also omitted above) and no letters transpire. The tech then suggests we try it again, even though I followed his suggestion of copy & pasting. We did, same thing, so he then suggests he needs to view my computer, as if I was the one malfunctioning. But that was another issue altogether (which I care not to repeat), and eventually he just gave up and suggested I speak to a "higher-up" specialist, but not before he admitted there was something he overlooked and that he's sorry, this after wasting over an hour of my time, and also after - now get this - he suggested I take my machine in since it would be easier, yea, easier for him, how about the time & effort already wasted.
    This new tech says, that the password is not supposed to show when I type it in, What?! Now this is the real kicker, this time it did appear. So really all they were doing was creating even more unexplainable anomolies. We presumed it did the trick, even though "Compressor" was still grayed out in the list. He told me why, which I didn't care to understand, and as long as it says install next to it that I'll be ok. I then told him, this is exactly how it looked before I even made the call in the first place (hence why I said that was my first mistake), but he was right since Compressor well and present, however *** is up with Logic Pro! Please, anybody, save me from having to call Apple Support again (not that it helps) these are geeks not musicians.

Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
     By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

Not able to install Logic on mac with OSX. 10.8.2. Error message: Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported. I have logic studio 8 software purchased in 2007 and upgraded with logic studio 9 (purchased in 2009)

After an earlier attempt to move Logic from my other mac (OSX 10.6.8) with the migration assistant to my new mac with OSX 10.8.2. I've re-started the whole start up process by erasing the hard drive from the new machine and build it up from scratch. After a new "out of the box" start, I decided to install LOGIC from my disks : starting with my 2007 package Logic Studio 8 and upgrading with my Logic 9 package from 2009. When trying to start to install 2008 I got the error message : Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported.
What does this mean? HOw do I get this working under 10.8.2 as it works flawlessly under OSX 10.6.8. For sure I didn't buy a new machine to have OSX 10.8.2 but I suspect this is the roadblock to installing my logic package.
Help!

Mark,
Sorry...
I completely lost the thread (I actually got confused between you and another poster on a another forum that was asking the same basic question) and somehow ended up thinking you were trying to install on a PPC Mac
My apologies and please ingnore those parts of my last post relating to the PPC Macs...
You have an Intel Mac and therefore Logic Studio 2 Boxed Upgrade set should install/run on your Mac without issue. As I said earlier.. you do not need to try and install from the original Logic Studio 1 /Logic 8 Boxed set...(It won't work anyhow because you have an Intel Mac and that version had a PPC installer) but just install from the Logic Studio 2 / Logic Pro 9 Upgrade Boxed setof DVDs instead...
Have you tried the "Make Disk Image" solution I gave earlier? That normnally works under such circumstances as what you are describing can happen when your DVD drive cannot read the DVDs correctly... I have had this situation myself where one drive read them okay and another failed to do so for whatever reason. Making and then installing from Disk images of those exact same disks resolved the issue for me...
You can try to reinstall directly from the DVDs of course though under some circumstances it may not allow you to reinstall Logic Pro itself if that part of the original installation attempt was successful... in which case you can also try this... (It's probably the easiest method if Logic 9 was already installed and present in your Apps Folder)
If the Logic Pro App is in your applications folder..
Run Software Updates to update Logic Pro to a version that will run under 10.8.2 (The initially installed version of Logic will not)
Run Logic
Go to the menu bar in Logic and select Logic Pro/Install Additional Content and select all content in there..
This content is basically exactly the same as what is stored on the remaining DVDs of the boxed set so you might not need to use the rest of the DVDs to install from but download it all instead from Apple Servers...

Unable to Install Logic Studio

I am trying to install Logic Studio and am failing every time.
I have a Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz with 1.25 mb Ram running OSX 10.4.10
I am able to start the installation, choose the location of the install, and select which components I'd like to install. I have decided to limit the install to only Logic Pro and leave out all the other programs as my harddrive doesn't have the space.
So according to that, only two items are checked. Logic Pro, and Apple Loops Utility under Tools. It's telling me that it requires 5.7 GB harddrive space, which I have. I click upgrade and type in my password. It installs Logic Pro, installs Logic Node, and when it tries to move on to Logic Utility (or something like that, the screen changes too quickly) it goes to 3% and gives me an error.
Then it tells me to "please try installing again"
I've tried installing logic node separately but it still doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong? Normally I'm ok with computers, but i guess only on PC's. Macs are a new world to me.
I just realized I only have Garageband 2. Is it because I don't have Garageband 8?

Maybe this is inapropriate but I once got very lucky by just cleaning the DVD which was full of finger prints, After I cleaned it...It worked.
Like must of us I have a lot of experience being frustrated, even the most knowlegable among us get frustrated at time.
What I would do is proceed in a mechanical way step by step (computers hate this)
1. Clean DVD,
2. Seat down and read the install procedure.
3. Disk Utility, Startup disk>Verify and Repair disk permission
2. Trash Logic Pro 8, Sound Track Pro, Main Stage and Garage Band (Save GarageBand Files
somewhere else if you need too)
3. Go toFinder > Empty Trash
4. re-install The absolute minimum (No Node dont need this yet) (Maybe you're forced to it I dont
remember) but if you have the choice the answer is always NO
5. Proceed slowly reading carefully all instructions.
6. Repeat 1-5. If this dont work Maybe you have deficient DVD's it Happen (It happen to me)
Honestly Your system seams to be bare bone minimum to run Logic Pro 8. Maybe Logic has out grow it.
Best of luck
