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)

  • 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...

  • 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!
    d.

    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!

    Any help would be greatly apprecia

  • TS2565 Help me install Logic Studio Pro on OS Lion 10.7.3

    I am having an issue installing Logic Studio.  I have Lion 10.7.3 and when I click on the Logic Pro icon it says that you can not run on this OS.  It says Logic Pro is 9.1.1  I tried updating to 9.1.7 but then it says I need Logic 9.0 or higher.  Help!!!

    I also have this same problem. Can't install either Logic or FCP7 onto my Lion systems. I tried running under 32bit mode and the same luck. The problem with this is that it works when the software has been installed before the Lion os X upgrade, however if you make do a clean install of Lion then both Logic and FCP7 hang after putting in the serial number.... WHAT A PAIN as now I can't use either products!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    Hi guys,
    ive been scrolling the internet for days and actually can't find the solution to my next problem:
    I bought the new macbook pro 15" running mac osx 10.7.4.
    now i want to install logic 9 on this computer. Before this i've already been using logic on two computers, my Mac Pro and my older macbook pro (2008).
    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.

  • 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.

  • Very Strange Logic Studio Installing Problem, please help !

    Hello .
    I wanted to install Logic Studio 9 on a brand new imac and somehow installation was failed .
    Than i erased what ever i could which was left from the failed installation .
    And now i am trying to reinstall, but this time Installation is not asking me Audio Content 1, 2 and 3
    And also after Jam Pack 1, instead of continuing to 2 and 3, is asking to put install disk , and after that point installation getting failed again .

    But what ever i tried, gives no solution . At the end a fail .
    How can i wipe out all the Logic existence from my computer to make new install ?
    Or, what is this problem i am having? As installation is not asking some discs which is necessary for the setup anymore .
    Did anyone experienced that ?
    I will be very happy if someone can assist on me this . Since 5 hours i am trying to setup this thing .
    Thanks a lot

    it is very frustrating to see such an installation problem happening from a "professional" called DAW .
    I am actually a Protools user , and i have never had this type of complications .
    I mean come on, i am just trying to install the thing .
    On a new system, on a new computer and from an original purchase .
    I believe i have enough computer knowledge to instal a simple software .
    But i am spending almost 10 hours since yesterday to install Logic .
    Instead of making designer boxes or giving fancy advertisements, i am inviting Apple Engineers to create proper working software .
    Especially to see a professional audio software like Logic in this epic fall, is very very bad .
    I mean you can say i am problematic and don't know how to instal a simple software, but than please write to google, Logic installation problems , and you will see thousands of issues .
    Whatever i am writing here not against to the people who are replying and want to help , i just want Apple to read this .
    Ah , i am sure Apple won't put attention on it , but doesn't matter .
    You just lost 1 customer for Logic
    I am erasing this thing now from my computer and continue with Protools as the way i was doing .
    Sorry if i am bitter, but this is not acceptable .

  • 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.

  • I have tried to install the upgrade to iTunes on my Windows XP system. It tells me that I have an older version of Bonjour on my system and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not uninstall! Help?

    I have an older version of iTunes on my system. I have tried to install the upgrade and it talls me that I have an older version of Bonjour and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not do it. Help?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • Pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help

    pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help. Am trying to work on document from office computer at home on laptop.
    This is what the pop up says:
    You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.
    You can download the latest version of Numbers from the Mac App Store.
    Thanks,

    WS,
    At first, it can be difficult to determine which version of Numbers you are using. The user interfaces are different, but if you are new to the apps you may think you are using the new version when if fact you have launched the older version. Make sure you are using Version 3.x. Then you won't get the message that you need a newer version.
    Use Spotlight to launch Numbers. After typing Numbers into the search field, pick the result that says "Numbers -- Applications".

    As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
    It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
    LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.

  • Help with Adobe Photoshop 5.0 install and upgrade to 7.0

    hello
    I have a photoshop 5.0 (purchased to work with win xp) which i have not installed and used for a long time
    I also have a Photoshop 7.0 win upgrade
    My question is this:
    I want to install my adobe photoshop 5.0 on a windows 7 machine,
    i want to than upgrade to photo shop 7.0
    for photoshop 5.0,
    the cd runs and i get the SETUP MENU, WHERE I AM OFFERED OPTIONS TO INSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 5.0 AND ADOBE ACROBAT READER V3.01 ETC....
    when i click on the install adobe photoshop 5.0 icon, it doesn't seem to do anything/
    i have also tried to see if anything is happening in task manager - task says running - but nothing seems to be happening
    any ideas why?
    Thank you for your help.

    Are you trying to install 5.0 just so you can install the upgrade to 7.0?
    If that's the case, you need not install 5.0.  Just install 7.0 and when it asks you about what you're upgrading from, insert the disc for 5.0 per its instructions.
    And, you're kind of living in the past...   Even Photoshop 7.0 has very limited capabilities compared to what's shipping today (which is 5 full version releases newer).
    It might be about time to buy a modern version of Photoshop.
