Installing logic 7 on new Intel to install LP9 Upgrade?

I just purchased a new Mac Pro 2.93GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon (Nehalem) after my G5's logic board died.
I bought (a few months back) my LP9 upgrade discs and know that the LP9 upgrade needs to see an older version of Logic on the computer for it to install. Can I even install logic 7 on my new intel mac running snow leopard so that i can then run the LP9 upgrade discs?
Thanks!

Hmm, that was not the case for me....
I tried installing the LP9 upgrade on my macbook which does not have any version of Logic on it and even though I connected my XS key I got the following error message:
+"Your Logic XSKey is not eligible for this upgrade. Please refer to the upgrade requirements for details."+
My copy of LP7 is not the "Academic" and it is not the "+Not-For-Resale (NFR)"+ versions. I was told by some reps at apple that the LP9 upgrade discs do in fact need an earlier version of Logic to run the updater.
Tomorrow my new Mac Pro 2.93GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon (Nehalem) arrives and I fear I'll have to first install Logic 7 before I can install the LP9 upgrade..... that is if I can even install Logic 7 on the new machine running snow leopard.
Thanks!
d.
Any help would be greatly apprecia

    The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

  • Can't run neither Protools or Logic on my new intel mac!

    Hi. I am really starting to get frustrated about this!!! I recently bought a Macbook Pro to run Logic Pro 7.2.2 on using a digi002 rack interface. Everything seem to be working out right according to all settings both in audio/midi setup in mac-utlities, Logic and Protools. The problem is that I can't even run more than 8-9 audio tracks before cpu starts complaining! I really don't get it! I have updated to all the newest driver versions and my computer seems to find the digi002 with troubles at all..When I run Logic the same error always occurs: conlfict between Logic and external device! Midi and audio can't syncronize! I have also tried with another firewire cable to check on cableconnection between computer and interface, but it is still the same! I'm about to throw this piece of s... out my window! I didn't have any of these problems the G5 I had before! Other people I have talked with havn't had any problems with their macbook pro and running Logic so far...

    Something isn't right in the DIgi kitchen. This comment has come up several times this week, mainly from Mbox owners, but also 002 users. I can't remember what version of Logic other people are using who are having problems, but I wonder if it's something with version 7.2.2 - the latest release. Have you got an older version you can go back to and see if that clears it? If you can get back to 7.2.1 have a go and let us know how you get on, it could answer a lot of problems for people out there in your situation.

  • LP9 Upgrade won't install-- rejects XSKey

    I'm trying to ugrade from LP7 to LP9, but am getting the following error message during the install:
    "+Your Logic XSKey is not eligible for this upgrade. Please refer to the upgrade requirements for details.+"
    My copy of LP7 is not the Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions. I am trying to install LP9 on my macbook which does not currently have any version of Logic on it. I have been told, however, that this is not an issue and that LP9 will install on the machine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hmmm, interesting....
    I was also told by apple's pro application support this morning that one can't install LP9 upgrade discs on a mac that has a previously upgraded copy of Logic on it and that people had to enter the original serial number for the very first version of Logic they bought. Obviously this can't be right so I have no idea what to make of any of this.

  • Installing studio UPGRADE on new imac with no Logic installed.

    Been running Logic Pro (7) on an old mac and have now bought a lovely new imac and also purchased upgrade to Logic Studio.
    Do I need to install old Logic Pro before using the Studio upgrade discs? Or can I go straight to the Studio installation and simply plug in the dongle/key into the usb at the appropriate time?
    I'm assuming because the old Pro version is pre-intel etc it is a somewhat redundant exercise to load it. But I don't want the Studio installation to stall because it 'can't find' a valid version of Logic to upgrade from.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's even the same disk just labeled differently.
    I'm almost positive it is. In other words, it's not the install disk that makes the package an upgrade or full version, it's the license which is tied to the serial number.
    If, theoretically, you owned an upgrade disk with serial, and a full version disk with serial, and you installed from one disk, but typed in the serial number that came with the other disk, you'd end up with a perfectly good install that was tied to whatever serial you put in. I don't think it'd matter what disk you used.

  • How can I install logic 9 on new mac 10.8

    how can I install logic 9 on new macBook pro 10.8?
    My Cd rom shows Logic 7 and on the old mashine (MacBook white 10.6) I have Logic pro 9.
    My MacBook pro 10.8 does't accept the Cd Rom...

    Kerrse,
    ...and it's content?
    While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
    However, worth giving a try.....

  • How do you install logic on the new imac if there is no disk drive?

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

  • Installing an existing copy of CS3 to new Intel iMac

    I want to install CS3 on my new Intel iMac (moving from my almost defunct PPC G5 tower) which will run Snow Leopard.
    I understand using the migrate feature may not be a good idea.
    Problem is, I have the CS3 upgrade disc. I do have my original CS full version.
    Will the CS version install on an Intel Mac? I was planning on installing CS
    and then upgrading with my CS3 disk. Will this work? If not please suggest another method.
    I have PS7 and CS full install disks and CS2 and CS3 update disks.
    Thanks

    You should only need the serial number from the version you upgraded from. If you went from CS to CS3 then have the CS serial and disk handy.
    I don't remember if the installer wants you to pop the CS disk in for verification or not.

  • New Intel video driver won't install

    The new intel video driver won't install on my T410.  Anyone else having the same problem?  All I get is a Turbo Boost installation box.  The intel video driver version doesn't update.  I've tried manually installing via "update driver", but windows says that I already have the newest driver (even when i only have 8.15.10.2202).

    that shows what you have to be the latest.
    After looking at it again it is a typo. It shows .2202 until you bring it up, then it shows .2253. I will let the admins know, ty for pointing it out.

  • I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and so I can install the new Mac software?

    I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and, if so, can I then install the new Mac software (Lion)?

    As has been clearly stated, no, no, and no.
    If such an upgrade were possible, it probably would be more money than it would be worth.
    If you're running a G4 (dual-processor even) you can pick up a used Mac mini (intel that is, and something from 2010 or newer would be the best bet) that will be screaming fast compared to a G4.
    Once upon a time, processor upgrades were not only possible, but a good deal, and a relatively inexpensive way to get more life out of your Mac. I upgraded a G3 tower to a G4 for  few hundred dollars, and I was glad I went that route at the time. Finally,  CPU upgrades, at least as far as I know, aren't available anymore.

  • Trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro

    I'm trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro, but they crash the app every time. files saved 2006 and later load OK. Anybody shed any light on this or know of a fix (other than the laborious work-around of re-saving all early lso's in logic 8 on the PPC and physically moving them via a portable drive to the new machine)?
    (BTW, those files also crash the Logic 7 installed on the intel Mac.)

    Upon further work with my migration, I find I was incorrect in the time frame assertion of these failed files: apparently, the creation/modification dates have nothing to do with it and the reality is that some files fail at random, while others load just fine. right now it looks to be about 50/50 Beats me why this is.
    Anyway, for those interested, I've discovered a very helpful key to the quick processing of file data for a plethora of files (i. e. re-saving the "bad" lso files as Logic 8 projects on the older CPU and moving them over to my new machine), and that is the 'control key/launch' of the app. I hadn't realized that Apple had added this feature to Logic to enable easier work on multiple song files when one does not require the audio.
    For those who don't know about it, the 'control key/launch' provides an option to disable the core audio at app start-up, thus allowing files to load instantly without loading the plug-in library files associated with tracks - great for copying MIDI data between song files, or in this case, re-saving a batch.
    Still puzzled, though, as to why so many older lso files crash Logic when they attempt to load on my new CPU.

  • Reaktor running in Logic on new intel I-mac 20", 2GB memory,

    Hi folks, just bought a new i-mac dual intel chippy thing and have been running Logic and Reaktor as an audio unit. Several problems
    1. Reaktor seems to take up loads of processing power on some ensembles, is there anything I can do to optimise it e.g. should I install it on my sepereate firewire hard drive? Should I leave the processor hungry ensembles alone?
    2. Should it really slow Logic down, is there something I'm missing? I do have the latest update for Reaktor but have not installed it until I get online to authorise.
    3. Can i run Logic off my seperate hard drive? Is this the best way?
    4. My previous i-mac single processor seemed to handle this all better with less memory CPU power available.
    5. My M-audio Firewire audiophile drive ris not loading. Are there issues with the new intel macs? Do I need to update my driver for this?
    Many thanks
    Imac Intel Dual 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   sep. hard drive,

    2. Should it really slow Logic down, is there
    something I'm missing? I do have the latest update
    for Reaktor but have not installed it until I get
    online to authorise.
    Here's your main issue right now. Reaktor only came out in UB format, last week. (version 5.1.2 - the update you would've downloaded)
    So, you will need to run that update and activate it for it to work properly with your Intel procs.
    Be careful with the NI's service center, as I had all sorts of issues with it last week, whilst trying to update Komplete4 to UniBinary.

    Hi,  I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5.  It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera.  I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download.  8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page.  I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10.  Please can you tell me my options?  Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application.  What should I do?  How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750.  Many thanks, Adam.

    Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

  • HT4461 Hello I have just installed my license for OS v 10.6.3 and installed the upgrades on a new hard drive. I would like to upgrade to my license for Lion. How do I do this (through the Apple Store I guess). Cheers

    Hello, I have just installed my license for Mac OS v 10.6.3 and installed updates including security updates.
    I have a licence for Lion that is sitting on Apples computer somewhere.
    How do I access my account and install Lion on my machine?
    Beyond that I want to upgrade to Maverick but given I work out the first step upgrading to Maverick should be easy.
    Thanks, Julian R A

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X Lion could be purchased from the Mac App Store (and now, at the Apple Online Store). Once you purchase it, you can download it as many times as you want for free.
    Open  > Software Update, and install the most recent Mac OS X version. It should be Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer. Then, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases, log in with your Apple ID and download OS X Lion. Make a backup before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    You can upgrade to OS X Mavericks from Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer without any problem, so upgrading to OS X Lion first is a waste of time. Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks
