Just installed Logic Pro 8 on my BRAND NEW iMac 24"

So I had a 15 MBP (2.4 Ghz) and I just bought a 24" iMac (2.9 Ghz version) I spent all day installing all my software (Adobe Master Collection, Logic Pro, iTunes music) The first time I turned on the machine it started up, but then I tried to navigate somewhere and the computer froze right up..... I held the power button and restarted....
I mainly got this machine to use the Adobe software and Logic Pro..... Now when I went to open up a demo project in Logic, it's giving me an error code "Disk is too slow or System Overload.(-10010)"............... ?????? And the CD drive seems to be making a pretty noticeable loud noise and "clunky" sound.
I thought I was going to get better performance out of this machine than my MBP, but it seems to be worse!!! Can anyone fill me on as to WHY my BRAND NEW machine is acting like this?

Sounds to me like you got a clunker. Take it back to the Apple store, and get it replaced ASAP.
This has nothing to do with Logic... your drive might be all messed up...

  • Can I install Logic Pro 9 Studio on my new iMac?

    I need help with installing Logic Pro 9 Studio on my new iMac?

    Yes.
    Assuming you have a DVD drive... to install from the DVDs themselves...
    Just run Software Updates after you have installed it... so it updates LP9 (and Mainstage etc) to the latest versions which are compatible with Mountain Lion.

  • I have 10.6.8 and am just installing logic pro 9. I am downloading the extra 20gig of material. I am installing Logic on my laptop as well and dont want to download the extra 20 gig again. How do i go about transferring it from the computer to the laptop?

    Hi
    I am using OS 10.6.8 and just installing logic pro 9. I am downloading the extra 20gig of material - the additional content packages. I am installing Logic on my laptop as well and dont want to download the extra 20 gig again. How do i go about transferring it from the computer to the laptop?
    Thanks

    And now a second newbie question. I have downloaded the additional content and booted up logic for the first time, but the apple loops have not installed and logic is asking me to reinstall the apple loops. But how do I do that? I can see they are in the libray so have downloaded.
    Thanks

  • TS2565 I have just installed logic pro  Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!!

    I have just installed logic pro  Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!! What can I do. I tried upgrding the logic pro software but this didn't help. It still won't open.
    Many thanks

    How did you install Logic onto your new Mac Book?
    From the App store or from the DVD boxed set?
    If it was downloaded from the App store then it should already be v9.1.8... and if it isn't you need to call Apple to help you sort this out.
    If it was originally from the DVD boxed set then you must update using software updates....
    If software updates cannot find Logic to update it then you either have...
    Renamed the Logic Pro app in which case rename it back to Logic Pro
    or
    The Logic Pro App is not in the applications folder which is where it needs to be to be updated... so move it back there.

    MacBookPro1,2   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Haven't heard of this problem before, but here's a suggestion that might work.
    In your ~/Library/Preferences/Logic folder you should find a folder named 'PM Data.'
    Perhaps if you dragged that folder to your desktop, your problem will disappear. Here's hoping…

  • Instability (freezing) and crashing from Macbook Pro transferred over to brand New iMac 2013 i7.

    I had a Macbook pro I installed some Plugin Demos (red giant and Filmconvert) a few days later one of my projects with multiple clips and lots of files in it crashes repeatedly after about 10 minutes of editing. on my older macbook pro it would freeze playback rendering me incapable of moving the head in the timeline. I would still be able to apply filters to a clip drag in a new clip etc however i would be doing it blind and I would not have the ability to move to a different part of the timeline (like the beginning or end). I contacted one of the techs and they blamed the plugins. we removed them and it seemed to work. however it didn't. on the same project it would continue to freeze after about 10 minutes of editing not at any specific place in the timeline but it would always freeze eventually. I already knew that my macbook was getting old so I invested in a new IMac 27 inches I7 Processor 8GB of ram and 4GB of GPU ram. i launch the same project in adobe premiere on this new computer and i run into the same issue. I attempted to reinstall and that made it worse. now after i ran into the same issue i was not even able to force quit the program. I restarted the computer and tried to run the program again but i still have the same issue. what do i do? is there something that i can do beyond uninstalling to reset whatever damage the 3rd party plugins did? is there something wrong with the particular project that I am working on that is causing the crash?

    I echo the opinions above.  The PC usually needs a fresh ground up install but the Mac doesn't.  Just delete off anything you don't want any longer and enjoy your new iMac.

  • Error #2038 - unable to install CS6 on 10.8.3 brand new iMac

    I have attempted to install CS6 creative suite from both the Adobe site and also from an .iso file - both times, it fails to install. Instead, I get the following (and cryptic) error message:
    Sorry, an error has occurred.
    The application could not be installed. Try installing it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author.
    Error# 2038
    I did have previous versions of Adobe products on this mac, but erased those files. I downloaded several application cleaners and none of them found a trace of Adobe products.
    I verified font book and deleted all problematic fonts.
    Any other ideas?
    I'm desperate.

    Thank you Megangeckler.  The difficulty you are currently facing with the Adobe Download Assistant can be solved by removing the currently installed Adobe Download Assistant from your applications folder.  You can find more details under the Known issues section of Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Known_i ssues.
    Prior to installing CS6 I would recommend running any available uninstallers located in the Applicatons/Utilities/Adobe Installers for CS6.  If you are very lucky this should clear up any additional installation issues you may face.
    If you do face any additional difficulties with installing CS6, not the Adobe Download Assistant as referenced in your screenshot, then please remove any remaining Adobe Creative software and follow this by running the CS Cleaner tool.  You can find details on how to download and use the CS Cleaner Tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Installing Logic Pro on another computer.

    This may seem like a bit of a silly question, but to be honest I have no idea. I purchased Logic Pro 9 from the app store for my regular ol' MacBook and I haven't had enough memory to install the extra content on it. Now I want to install Logic Pro 9 once again on me iMac, but I have no idea about how to go about it. If I go to the app store it doesn't say install and it seems like it wants me to pay for it again. (Maybe i'm not signed in?) I would appriciate the help because I really want to get back to making music

    Log into it with the Apple ID you previously used.

    You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
    Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

  • I just bought a IMac and i am trying to install Logic Pro 9 but it keep failing

    I just bought a IMac and i am trying to install Logic Pro 9 but it keep failing, how do I get it to work?

    In that case it sounds like your DVDs have a physical problem or your DVD drive has an issue reading the DVD,
    I would suggest you try making DMG inages of your DVDs, save them to your Mac and try installing from the disk images instead...  (Disk Utility reads the DVDs in a slightly different way that can help get around certain physical issues)

  • 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....

    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.
