Installing Logic 8 plus 9 upgrade  plus content on OS10.7.4

I have previously successfully installed - on two Macs running 10.5.8 - my boxed Logic 8 with all the content disks plus the 9 upgrades to 9.1.7.
However, my new studio Mac runs OS 10.7.4 (has to run 10.7.4 because it also runs Pro Tools 10)
The question is:
- How do I install Logic onto a 10.7.4 machine - including all the content (loops etc.) - with a boxed Logic 8 and downloaded 9 (and download upgrades to 9.1.7 and now to 9.1.8)...?
Thanks in advance

I can't give you a perfect answer on this one, but I'm dealing with a similar issue in upgrading from LP7 to LP9. EXS and Garageband instruments are organized differently in 9 from how they were in 7. This did lead to duplicate files in some cases, where an instrument had been added to the new location and remained in the old location as well. So whether or not you have duplicates probably depends on whether or not there were any folder/organization changes from LP8 to 9. I've read that this isn't as much an issue, but I don't know the specifics.

  • Need to make space in my Hard drive to install Logic Studio Upgrade

    ok. Here's my problem:
    I have a 1st generation Mac Book Pro. That means 100Gb of storage.
    I've been using it for professional audio recording since then with Logic Pro (6 or 7 I think) and I made necessary upgrades when they were available in both Mac book and Logic. So, now my Mac has 2.16 GHz processor, 2GB memory RAM and is running Mac OS X 10.6.3
    When it comes to Logic, I am in Logic 8, trying to make the last upgrade of Logic Studio but looks like there's no more space available on my laptop. At this point, I moved any other data that I don't need. My Hard drive is almost full of a data that most of it supposedly needs to be replaced or skipped. I'm talking about additional content of audio coming on Jam Pack, etc... The installation program allow me to put some of the data in other hard drives (about 22.68 GB) but still is not enough.
    Is there any way to solve this? May be uninstalling programs and data that later will be installed again with my upgrade? I don't want to make a mess before asking.
    Probably is time to get a new computer. If this is the only option please somebody tell me! but if is not, I refuse to spend the money. My laptop is working fine...
    Thank you
    Fran

    Well, first i would decide what you need the computer for. If you use iPhoto and iTunes, maybe moving the libraries to external HD may free up a significant amount of HD space.
    Also, look for apps you don't need anymore, look for ancient data that can be zipped&archived away. That's a lot of work, but is worth the time, because you get to know what really is on your HD. I have so many small apps&tools lying around on my HD clogging space, but in fact i only used them once or twice in a lifetime, so better delete them.
    BTW: Make sure you have enough space on your HD not only to install Logic studio but have some extra GB's for the OS to shuffle data around. No OS likes a full HD.
    My strong suggestion would to give your Macbook to a trustworthy Mac store where they install a bigger HD and copy everything over to the new one.

  • Need 2 install Logic Studio 9 Audio content & Jam Packs?

    Have Logic Studio 9: didn't have enough space to download extras originally (i.e., Audio Content & Jam Packs).  Have now upgraded to 500 Gb HD for 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and have tried to install Logic Studio again (The logic Pro; Logic Node; MainStage; and WaveBurner seem to have installed OK - at least they show up in Applications folder)  When it comes to installing Studio Content the Studio Content disk install process gets hung up at the end of the downloading. A message window pops up saying: The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.  The Logic Studio software is registered to me and has a Support ID: I6941D2H41H.  It is frustratingly difficult to find anywhere that I can contact tech support related to this Logic Studio issue.  I would simply like to be able to get the included Audio Content and the Jam Packs from the Logic Studio Suite installed on my MacBook Pro.  I would appreciate some response and help to be able to get the application data so that I can fully install the whole Apple Logic Studio program ASAP.  A further suggestion is that a means of contacting support for such related issues be instituted.  Anyone know how to get the corrupted Audio Content & Jam Packs for downloading?

    Firstly you are Not addressing Apple here... This is a User to User Forum...
    That said... Give Apple Care a Call... Tell them you are a Logic Pro User and you should be transferred to a Logic Expert...
    Explain your situation to them...
    Make sure you have your Serial Number and Date of Purchase handy...

  • Question about installing logic 9 upgrade on new computer

    Hello!
    I just purchased a new mac pro (woo hoo... finally) and the logic 9 upgrade pack. I own Logic 8 but I'm not sure if I should install it before installing the logic 9 upgrade.
    Will I miss out on any parts of the logic 8 sound library, loops, effects, etc by only installing logic 9? I have my S# and am aware installing Logic 8 is not needed, just curious if there are any advantages or disadvantages of installing.
    Thanks

    My information, serial number, is not available.

  • Installing Logic 9 UPGRADE Help

    Hi,
    I've been using logic pro 8 since it came out, (got it part of logic studio) and i just bought the logic studio upgrade today so i can run logic 9, aswell as mainstage etc.
    Ever since i put snow leopard on my mac i've had quite a few crashes with logic, when it crashes it gives me the report that it's due to my 'camelPhat plugin' but sometimes it doesn't say it is that.
    The guy in the apple shop said i would be best to totally uninstall logic studio 8, then reinstall it, then install my logic studio upgrade, then reinstall my plugins e.g soft synths etc
    He said that logic was probably crashing due to some things not being built for snow leopard, like my plugins.
    I was just wondering what anyone thought of this? Is it worth while, am i likely to encounter any problems or would i be best just leaving it as it is and installing my logic studio upgrade over the top as it already is?
    Thanks for any help or guidance, really appreciated.
    Tom

    installed logic 9 upgrade next to LP 8 last week. Running on an imac intel 20 inch from 2008.
    It's all working like a breeze. Worked on some pretty heavy projects. No crashes or any other problems.
    I really really like Logic 9. Flex time and Bounce in place all already worth the update alone, although i think 200 euro's is a bit too expensive, compared to the price of the normal package (i think 400 or 500 euros)
    Anyhow, i love this stuff. Soo much more intuitive and quick than Cubase, which I've used for years actually (and which is also a very very good program, but logic just beats it for me)

  • Install logic 9 upgrade from logic 7  on macbook pro retina

    i bought a new MBP retina, (no disc drive) and want to install logic. my logic studio 9 is an upgrade from logic pro 7, and the 7 won't run on the new com.
    So how do I do this install?

    Could be you khave a corrupted Win 7 install file/files.
    Try downloading the Win 7 ISO for the version you have from here.
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit- direct-download-links/
    Then burn that ISO to a USB or DVD, USB would be better.

  • Install Logic 9 Upgrade on a new computer?

    I'm about to buy a new computer and wonder if I first need to install logic 8 on it before I install the Logic 9 Upgrade?

    funnily enough, i didn't need my logic 8 serial at any point of the upgrading process.
    I have tried to use it when asked for serial and it said that the serial is wrong. so I used the one that came with logic 9 and that one was ok.
    so basically it is doing a clear new install and it leaves logic 8 intact, it is still on my hard drive.
    only when you want to upgrade jampacks, it recognizes which ones you already have and it just upgrades them.
    it looks like the upgrade doesn't even need the old version of logic installed,
    I think it is the same as if you buy normal retail version of new logic studio, just the sticker on the box say it is the upgrade.

  • How to install Logic Pro X additional content to an external Hard Drive?

    Hi all,
    I have tried and failed to install additional Logic Pro X data to my second hard drive. The SSD that OS X runs through is almost full and I don't have enough space for the files to stay there.
    I have tried to use the 'Symbolic Link' solution, but to no avail as it continues to install the software on my SSD! I can tell, because after installing the files I lose a big chunk of storage on the SSD.
    Please help! Is there an alternate solution, am I doing it wrong?

    Ah! Well, that would explain things
    Glad to hear you got it all working...
    Cheers..

  • 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...

  • Logic Pro X Additional Content .....still installing

    Hi,
    I recently purchased and downloaded the new Logic Pro X then downloaded the additional content.  This took about 36 hours as my Internet Connection is only 1-2 Mb.  The dialog box then changed to.  Installing Additional Content....and has remained like that for the last 24 hours.  The blue status indicator took about 1 hour to show complete but there has been no change in the status since then.  I can't quit Logic as the Quit is greyed out  
    Anyone else had this issue and any ideas what I should do please?

    similar problem that I'm hoping revives this thread. Took over 24hrs to dload additional content (after another full day for the actual problem) due to a bad dload rate. so quitted, and relocated closer to my wifi router. Restart, open logic x, Menu bar:  Logic Pro/ Download Additional content ...Tells me i have no internet connection.... Ahh... I do, I'm using it right now! Tried restarting and relaunching. same thing every time.
    Any clues?
    This whole apple upgrade has been so disappointing! All i wanted to do was reinstall logic 9! $2500 later and I'm still struggling. ***!

  • Warning: iTunes Plus upgrades overcharging!

    The specified album upgrade price is 25% of the current album price.
    Anyway I have several albums where only a couple of tracks upgraded to iTunes Plus versions, hence when this kink is ironed out I will have paid more than 25% to upgrade these whole albums to iTunes Plus versions.
    What I think is happening is when you do a 'complete my album' the original purchases may be from a different version of the album, which 'complete by album' understands but iTunes Plus upgrade doesn't, so it treats them as individual tracks unless you initially purchased as an album.
    I have emailed iTunes support today, will see what happens.

    There are 1284 songs in my "Purchased" list, but when I hit the upgrade to Plus (on 5/30) only 71 came up.
    Here's what support initially wrote me about this:
    "Currently, only EMI content is offered as iTunes Plus content, which may explain why only 71 out of your 1500 items show up as eligible for the upgrade. We hope to make many more titles available as DRM free in the future."
    I pointed out that much of my stuff - Pink Floyd, etc. - IS EMI. They then replied:
    " I understand that you've also not been able to upgrade many of the items in your library that should be eligible for iTunes Plus upgrade.
    "Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
    So I'm waiting. I didn't expect this launch to be perfect, so...

  • ITunes Plus Upgrade--No help from iTunes Support

    I appologize for this lengthy post. Believe me I have more to the story, but want to keep it as short as possible. Bottom line is I'm looking for help with iTunes plus upgrade please.
    My specific problem is getting customer support to upgrade my old iTunes songs iTunes to iTunes plus so I can use them on our new Sonos player. It’s now been almost a week since this issue arose and there has been no help in getting my problems solved. My main problem is that there is no telephone customer support for iTunes. All of the support for iTunes is now done online through emails. That is a huge issue in my mind, but not the purpose for this post.
    Here is my problem..
    I have two iTunes accounts. Account # 1 was my primary account until 2008/09 time frame when I switched from a PC to Macbook Pro. I have 314 songs from 2006-08 that were purchased on Account #1 that I'm trying to upgrade to iTunes Plus. Account #2 is now my primary iTunes account. The Account #2 songs are all iTunes plus and do not need upgrading. I now have all the purchases from both accounts on my Mac Mini serving as a HTC, but the old iTunes DRM songs cannot be played on Sonos until they get upgraded.
    My issue solely relates to my old songs on Account #1. I have been trying to upgrade my account 1 songs since last Thursday. My iTunes store account is currently logged into Account 1 when attempting the updgrade. When I first made the purchase, I got the on screen message that I’d get an email with instructions to complete the purchase. Well three days passed and I never got the email. I also noticed that my purchase of $104 showed up as three “pending” credit card charges on my bank account records. This seemed odd so I called Apple for help. Big mistake!!!!!
    When I attempted to call Apple Support I was continually given to “technical support” for either my Macbook or Mac Mini. They never listened to what I was saying. In fact one rep told me I would need to pay the $39 fee for technical support on my issue!!!! Finally, after speaking to three different individuals one of the “tech support” reps was able to contact an iTunes support rep. Note, that I could not speak to them, rather it was strictly apple employee to apple employee. I was placed on hold for thirty minutes while they worked on my issue. After thirty minutes I was told to go to the iTunes store and start over. I went to iTunes store and completed the purchase again. Shortly thereafter, I received an email response from iTunes saying:
    Dear Tom,
    Your iTunes Plus music upgrade could not be successfully completed because there was a problem with one of the items that was to be upgraded. Please return to your Upgrade My Library page and click Buy and your upgrade should be processed successfully. We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your business.
    Sincerely,
    iTunes Store Team
    Based on this email. I went to iTunes store again and tried the purchase….again. I then got the same email response a short time later. I have attempted two other times to buy the upgrades but got no email responses at all. Late Sunday, I called Apple again and also used their online iTunes support page. I got one response late Sunday evening asking a question about error messages, I answered their question by providing them the above iTunes notice. That email late Sunday night was the last communication I've recieved from iTunes support. It’s now three days later and I’m still waiting to hear back from someone at iTunes support. All I want to do is spend 104 dollars to upgrade my 300+ songs, but no one at Apple seems to care.
    I am really disappointed in Apple’s customer service. I’ve been a fan of Apple for quite some time, between my wife and I, we have 6 Apple products in our home. The lack of customer support is really disgraceful.
    Anyone have any ideas.

    This is a follow up. Finally, after almost 72 hours, I recieved another email from the original iTunes support representative. According to her, the problem is that one or more of my songs on the account are either not eligible for the upgrade or the file is corrupted and can not be upgraded. In short I cannot use the "Buy All" feature because I will always hit this roadblock. The only way to resolve this, is to upgrade each song individually or select a few songs at a time to upgrade.
    I will have to do this until I get the song or songs that is causing the problem. Once I have identified the song(s), I can chose to repurchase them and get a refund. All songs today are at the DRM free format so repurchased songs will automatically be the upgraded file.
    So I'll now begin the upgrade of the 314 songs. I guess it could be worse.
    Okay, I got an answer and an offer of a refund, but this answer certainly could have been provided three days ago. Am I being unreasonable?

  • 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.
