Just a bit confused in regards to upgrading from Logic 5 - to Logic 7

Hey all...
So I was an avid Logic 5 user on an iBook G3... (or I had the "big box' of plat/gold - see how confused I am/was/is...?? HELP!!)
SOmething happened and I had to wipe my hard drive on the iBook, and the new system I put on was OSX 10.3.9, and then when I re-installed Logic(x?) it just plain wouldn't run.... crashed all the time and sometimes never launch the app. When I bought it, I got it at Guitar Center and this was when emagic owned it. I have an XSKey and all the registration for it. So right when I thought I was getting somewhere, emagic sells it to Apple... blessing, but bittersweet, because I can't get anyone at Apple to help me out, other than saying I have to get the new one - and they will not run on my current computer.
SO HERE IT IS; I have finally decided to ditch the iBook G3 and trump up to the basic G5 Tower, load it with at least 2GB's of RAM - and then I figured I could just buy the; Logic Pro 7 Upgrade from Logic Pro 6 or Logic Plat/Gold 5, 6 for $299.00 (and from what I have been reading on here also get the Logic Pro 7.2 Crossgrade for $49.00...)
IS THIS WHAT I NEED...? Like I said before I have all the stuff from the Logic (emagic) and know its one of the above mentioned needed for the upgrade!...? And will this then bump me to Logic 7 Pro - Not Logic Express.....?? And is this a good thing or......
I apologize for being so confused - but I'm so willing to get back into Logic that I'm actually buying new hardware, just to get back into producing!!
The guys at the Apple store are helpful - but all look cross-eyed when I begin asking Logic (or any Pro application) questions.......
Thanks in advance all!!

The Big Box was Logic Silver (not Gold or Plat). That's a steeper upgrade.
If what you bought was the 'Production Kit' that included an a/62m interface, then you have Gold.
If what you truly have is Gold 5, you will get Logic PRO 7 for the $299. I don't know if that now includes 7.2 or if that's still an extra $49 (being that they're going to charge Shake users who paid 3k on it $49 while they drop the price to $500, I'd expect 7.2 to still cost ya).

    Hi I am just now downloading Creative Clouds :-) as an upgrade from an old Creative Suite 5.5. Before that I hade a Creative suite 3 etc. Is it necessary that I keep all these old programs etc on my computer to make Creative Clouds work or is it better that I uninstall them? Kind regards, AnnaReet

    It is not necessary to retain the older installations.  YOu might want to consider if you will have any need for them in terms of working with older files, but other than that you can probably uninstall them without missing them.

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

    This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
    Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
    At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
    On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

    Hi claire.winteringham,
    If you have a 64 bit machine then there shouldn't be any problem while installing any 32-bit software.
    Try to download it with the below mentioned link :

  • Where can i find the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2?

    Hello there.
    Is the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2 still available out there somewhere? I know I'm a bit behind the rest of the world but financially I'm taking the 'do the best with what you can' route!
    Never used logic before, moving up from garageband and cubase sx cos everyone says it's a better program.
    Many thanks,
    GDx

    Hi
    If I remember correctly, the 7.2 update was a "Paid for" update, with a new dvd.... so you are most likely out of luck.
    The good news is that Logic Pro is pretty cheap on the Appstore

  • How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

    How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

    There is no update, you have to purchase Logic 9 from the App Store, it's $199, which is close to the price of an update.
    Warning, if you do purchase Logic 9 from the App store it will download 2GB of additional patches/sounds/loops...etc. This is for first time buyers so their App Store Logic will have some basics to work with before trying to download the additional 20+GB of loop/instrument data. If you have a full installtion of Logic 8 it's possible the 2GB of data Logic initially downloads will mess with the instruments and sounds you've been using, past projects may not load properly. Just something to be aware of.

  • 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.

  • I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I requ

    I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

  • Upgrading from Logic Express 7.0 to 7.1 doesn't work

    When I try to upgrade from Logic Express 7.0.1 to LE 7.1 I get an error message saying the installed version is a later version than the upgrade I'm trying to apply.
    I have upgraded from OS X.3.6 to X.4.0 since installing LE 7.0.1.
    Any clues about what's going on with this time-warp problem?

    This is exactly the same problem I have had, despite down loading several times (just in case), and even using a different machine (again, just in case). Needless to say, the query I posted on the Apple Logic help site has not been responded to!
    Fortunately, Logic Express still works but it would be nice to be running the latest (functioning) version

  • Logic Pro Upgrade from Logic Express 8 + Lion. Please help

    I have bought a new mac with lion operating system after my previous mac was damaged beyond repair, however i am running a logic pro 9 upgrade from logic express 8. I have been told that logic 8 doesnt work on lion, but i need to install it before i can install my upgrade to logic 9. Can someone help??

    I believe you just need the serial and not necassirly the installation of 8 on your system.

  • Problems upgrading from Logic 6.4 to Logic Studio

    I recently had my hard drive die, so i am now in the process of reloading all my software.  I started with Logic 6.4 years ago and have been purchasing the upgrades ever since. I first installed Logic 6.4 with the dongle inserted than i installed Logic studio. I than updated the software.  However, now Logic will not open. I get the prompt;
    "Upgrading from Logic 6.4 to Logic Studio running 10.6.7 2.66 i7 17 inch running  problem. After install Logic will not open. Updated all the software. On a Macbook Pro"
    Is there something i'm doing wrong.
    thanks for any help.
    David

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7. Doing this costs money; you may find it easier and cheaper to upgrade to Yosemite, which is free.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Upgrading from Logic 4 (emagic)

    Hello!
    Is it possible to upgrade from Logic 4 (emagic) to Logic Studio 9 (apple) with the upgrade version of Logic Studio 9 ? Thanks! Tim

    No, you have to buy a new copy. I think upgrade from version before Logic 5, were canceled about 5 years ago. Logic 5 and later can still be upgraded to Logic 9.
