Installing Logic Studio 9 upgrade issue

I am installing the Logic Studio 9 upgrade from a copy of Logic Pro 7 which itself is an upgrade from Logic Express 7. I can run it usung the XSKey but when I try to run it without, it asks for a valid serial number (from Logic Pro 7) to verify the upgrade. The problem is I have a serial number for Logic Express but Logic Pro only has an XSKey serial number which isn't a valid number. Whilst I can use it with the XSKey, I would ideally like to use it without as it takes up a much needed usb slot and I hate having to carry it around when I'm out and about with my Macbook Pro as it's small enough to go missing and sticks out of the laptop rather precariously. Can anyone help with a solution?

Just to update, I have to use XSKey every time I run Logic Studio otherwise I am prompted for my Studio serial number and a Logic serial number.

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

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.

Final Cut Studio & Logic Studio upgrade issue

I am mainly audio based but have been working on projects more recently with Final Cut Studio 2 to deal with the video. As I use both Logic Studio 8 and Soundtrack Pro 2 a lot, and Final Cut Pro less, I plumped for the upgrade to Logic Studio which also contains STP 3 and Compressor 3.5 which seemed the right thing to do.
However the install info and dvd doesn't want you to install STP 3 or Compressor 3.5 if you have Final Cut Studio 2 as they "contain updated components that are incompatible with Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier. If the Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system, it automatically deselects the checkboxes for Soundtrack Pro and Compressor in the Custom Install pane."
Personally I didn't want to run to the expense of upgrading Final Cut as I don't use Motion, Colour or Cinema Tools and although I am working heavily in DVD Studio Pro they haven't done anything to upgrade that application (boo!)
So what's the deal? Am I unable to upgrade ST Pro to version 3 and also unable to benefit from the upgraded Compressor even though I've actually paid for an upgrade that promised me these options, and no mention until I'd opened the package that there would be any incompatibility issues with Final Cut Studio 2!
Anyone know what these 'incompatible components' are?
Sounds like sharp practice and bad product integration to me...

I just spoke with someone in Apple Reseller Channel Sales and he told me that what is shipping now is strictly the Universal version. So, if you order a Final Cut Studio Upgrade from FCP HD ($699 retail, IIRC), you will receive the FCS Universal version in the big box with all the docs.

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 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...

Installing Logic Studio on an iBook g3?

I recently purchased an apple i book g3 on ebay, which i plan to use specifically for creating beats and music.. and i also recently came across Apple Logic Studio 8, did some research on it, and it seems like it's just what i need.
My question is, is it a bad idea to attempt to install Logic Studio on the g3? the minimum requirements for Logic appear to be just a bit more than what my laptop has for me to work with... The iBook i purchased has 900 mhz, 40gb, mac os x 10.4 tiger, those are mainly the only specs i am worried about..
Just by looking at the numbers i would assume it may not work, but then again i read a few posts from people on other message boards, using basically the same laptop, and installing logic express without any issues.
Either way ive already paid for the laptop so i am stuck using that for a while, but i REALLY want to get my hands on Logic Studio and work with that as well.. suggestions?

+logic 7 System Requirements:+
(pro- and express have the same sys reqs - ES)
+* Macintosh computer with *PowerPC G4* or faster processor (G5 or dual G4 processors recommended)+
+* Mac OS X v10.3 or later+
+* 512 MB of RAM+
+* 4 GB of available hard-drive space+
+* PowerPC G5 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for Logic Node applications+
+* DVD drive for software installation+
+* Available USB port for XSKey (copy protection)+
+* Low-latency multi-I/O audio hardware and MIDI interface recommended+
I think you should try to get an earlier Garageband (2.0.2, part of iLife '05):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306338
Or Logic 6:
Minimum:
+Mac OS X 10.2/Mac OS 9.1 or higher+
+604/250 MHz processor+
+128 MB RAM+
+CD-ROM or DVD drive+
+free USB port for XSKey+
Recommended:
+CPU with Velocity Engine support (G4/MP)+
+256 MB RAM or more+
+Low-latency audio hardware for software instruments+
+Multiple I/O audio hardware for Surround+
+Separate fast hard drive for audio data+
+MIDI interface, MIDI keyboard+

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

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)

Can't install Logic Studio 9 on clean install of Mavericks due to "powerpc applications not supported" error message

Hello -
I've recently performed a clean install of Mavericks on my MBP. I then attempted to install Logic Studio but was met with the error message "You can't open the application "LogicStudio.mpkg" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Mavericks was installed as an upgrade prior to the clean install, and at that time Logic Studio functioned normally. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Logic 9 or 8?
There is a bug in the installer program of Logic that makes Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks think that it is PowerPC.
Best solution would have been to install Logic BEFORE you upgraded to Mavericks, but before you backup, wipe and start all over, try to use Pacifist to install it and please report back.

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
or...
You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

Can't install logic studio on my Intel iMac

I have logic pro 7.2 installed on my intel iMac, which now runs maverics. However I now want to install my logic studio upgrade but I get an error saying that power pc applications are no longer supported. How do I get logic studio on my machine which clearly should work as it is built for intel macs when Logic pro 7.2 runs fine!

The following thread contains the method that uses Pacifist to achieve an installation of older Logic Pros on a Mac with more modern OS X versions when the installer no longer works...
I am assuming the LS upgrade is to LP8?

Logic Studio (upgraded from express 7.2) on a laptop and tower??

Hi. I had Logic Express 7.2 and bought and installed the upgrade to Logic Studio on my MacPro Tower.
I am buying a MacBook Pro and would like to install Logic Studio on that, as well. I understand that the license for Logic Studio allows one tower and one laptop. Does that still apply in my case for the upgrade to Logic Studio? i.e., will I have to first install logic express 7.2 on the laptop then "upgrade" to Studio, or can i just install Studio on the macbook pro and run it on both machines? Hope that all made sense!!
Thanks,
Rob

You don't have to install Logic Express on your MacbookPro. Simply install Logic Studio. After you type your Logic Studio upgrade serial number, Logic will ask you for your original Logic Express serial number

How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

Ok so i recently bought my first ever iMac.
And i installed logic studio on it, but I am considering a Mac Pro because honestly; i love my iMac but i kind of just want this imac for 'personal' things (movies, music, family photos, videos ect.)
and I want a Mac Pro just for logic and any other PRO apps I buy later on. So i was wondering if anyone can help me with the question i have;
How many macs can I install Logic studio on?

It's in your Logic Studio license agreement:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you. This License does not allow the Apple Software to run on more than one computer at a time.

Yes
The licence details depend on how you originally purchased Logic. The original (DVD) licence allows for you to have Logic installed on 2 computers, provided that you do not use both at the same time.
The Appstore Licence allows you to install on any computer that you own. See this article for a simple guide

Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.
