Instructions: How To Install Logic Studio on External Drive

Sorry for starting another thread, but this will turn up in a search engine inquiry better than the other thread, so please delete the other one instead. I believe the subject heading wording will be more search engine friendly
Okay after much digging , I have found out what parts of Logic Studio 9 can & cannot be installed on an external Drive and here's how I did it:

Then after everything is installed:
Library>Application Support>Logic>EXS Factory Samples
Dragged to the Ext. HD got 3 gigs out of it
Then Library>Application Support>GarageBand>Instrument Library>Sampler>Sampler Files (NOT SAMPLER INSTRUMENTS !)
That scored me another 12GB
Installing that way allows approx 38GB of Logic on an Ext. HD

If you want, you can install your OS on the external drive and boot up from that by setting the external drive as startup in the system preferences. Then you can install ALL of logic on it instead of using the internal at all. I've been set up this way for years.

How to install Logic Studio on a G5?

I had problems to install logic studio on my G5. In fact it tells me i don't have enough "coulors", i'd need 32 millions. And i need a Quartz extreme card : is it possible to install all this to install logic studio then?

I really don't know if this will help at all, but try unchecking Mainstage in the installer. Mainstage requires different graphic capabilities, and it's possible that if your G5 doesn't meet those capabilities, it is keeping you from installing the whole package. Perhaps it will allow you to install the other programs if you aren't installing Mainstage.
Good Luck!

Installing Logic on an External Drive?

Wondering...
Can you install Logic on an external hard drive or does it need to go on the same drive as the system folder?
I dont' have a free 4GB right now for the update. How much free space do you guys recommend for LP7?
Chris

> I had no idea that you needed so much free space
You don't really need it: it's Apple recommendation. The less ram you have, the more disk space you need. My PowerBook came with 600 MB of ram and a 20 GB 5400 rpm drive. I took me some time to find out that swap files silently grew in the background, recessed in an invisible system folder, namely /private/var/vm/ and were slowly eating up my disk space.
Macromat, maker of the famous TechTool, advise sparing 4 GB of free space minimum, but quickly adds that the more you spare, the smoother the operating system runs.

How to install Yoesmite on an external drive?

I followed the guide here
OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support
But the problem is after the initial installation on the drive, the system reboots and it goes back to the same setup screen. I repeated the process a few times and it just repeats. Am I missing anything?
I skipped the partition step, because I don't need bootcamp or a restore drive. I simply reformatted the drive and proceeded with the installation.

I followed the instruction which is, download the install from the mac app store. Run the install, and targeted the external disk. Then it rebooted, downloaded some more files and finished the installation. Then did a final reboot. At which point it booted into the install screen again and repeated.
I'll double check the GUID part today but I'm pretty sure I formatted it correctly.
So to answer your question, no I did not do a clone. I also did not install it from command R. But I don't think those two things are necessary according to apple's support page.

Install FCP studio to external drive

I want to install FCP studio to my macbook pro and install all supporting media to an external drive so i don't waste space. has anybody done that.
thanks
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

As Jerry notes, templates can be installed on a non-system disk.
Pay close attention during the install process when you are given Options. A number of people have clicked through those moments without paying much attention and placed all there support files on the system disk - much to their dismay.
good luck.

How to install iphotos into my external drive.

I'm coming real close to running out of memory, I need to drop my pictures, before something major happens. Western D? is the external drive (250g). What is the procedure ?
Thanks
Bootlegjack

Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar named Pictures and drag the iPhoto library inside to the external drive. This will create a backup, not a working library; if you need to do that, click here and follow the instructions.

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

The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion. Use the program Pacifist to install it.

I just installed logic studio (academic version) and it will not open, quits right away, how can i fix this? running lion

I am having trouble with my newly installed logic studio ( academic version ). it will not open, quites immediately. any suggestions?

Have a read here https://discussions.apple.com/message/15701309#15701309
Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.

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.

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

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+
