Logic Pro 7.2 Upgrade issue/question

Hi,
We have been a Logic Platinum user since version 4, upgrading through 5 and now to 7.2 Pro However, I have come to an issue and wondered if anyone can please help me resolve.
As I have just upgraded our platform to a Dual PPC 2.7mhz running OS/X 10.4.9, I am unable to install my original full version of logic 5 Platinum, so I can install the upgrade to 7.2
It seems my original installation disk for version 5 will not mount under OS/X, giving a system permissions error or stating no system folder available. All was fine on our old platforms under OS 9 (which we no longer own). I left the OS9 discs with the old G4s, thus I cannot load a classic OS9 environment to attempt this way either.
At the time when Apple bought out emagic, I downloaded a cross platform 5.5.0 version which was supposed to also include an OSX version but now going back to the disk i burned, it seems there is only an .exe file, which is a PC only version, no OSX file in sight.
So.... can you please advise our best route to get our original version of logic platinum 5 installed under OSX so we can install the 7.2 update or point us in the direction of the download for the 5.5.0.dmg file for OSX, which would be even better.
A little frustrated at present, as if we hadn't of skipped Version 6, this would now not be an issue. However, what's done is done and version 5 served us well until it really not being capable of what we require, thus the 7.2 upgrade.
PS, We didn't chose to upgrade to Logic 8 Studio on the basis we didn;t need half the apps' included (e.g. Stage for live performance) and also, we thought 7.2 would be slightly less resource hungry. We chose to upgrade to Dual PPC, due to the fact we use M-Audio Delta 1010s and these are not compatible with the PCI-e slots in the Intel Dual core Pros.
If you need any information, please reply and request whatever is necessary to resolve this.
I look forward to hearing back from anyone with some information to relieve our stress, as the studio is currently non functional. As we are only a small family business, any missed custom is traumatic.
Many thanks in advance,
Deecee3112

Hiya,thanks for the reply. I've actually resolved it. The upgrade package to 7.2 didn't need the install of version 5 to be in place at all, just the authorised XSkey.
So the 7.2 upgrade package was actually the full install less the XSkey.
I feel a bit silly now, thinking about it, why would the core audio code from version 5 be used at all in the installation of version 7! ho hum, we learn something everyday.
cheers for the reply anyway, I'm happy at the outcome and can work again.

Can logic pro 9 be upgraded if i have the Express version?

HI,
Can logic pro 9 be upgraded if i have the Express version?
because when i try to do it, ask me for my Logic Studio SNr. and i just copy my Logic Express SNr. and doesn't work !
Is that normal?

I'm not sure I understand the wording of your question.
If you mean "Can I upgrade Logic Express 9 to Logic Pro 9?" the answer is yes, you can.
When you get the upgrade, if you already had LE9 installed on your system, the installer will already know your existing serial number, and it will be asking you for your new serial number of the upgrade. If you are trying to put in your old serial number here, this won't work, it's the serial number of the upgrade it's asking for.
If you are having serial number issues and believe you are using the correct serial numbers, then you'll need to contact Apple for help.

Uninstalling Logic Express 7.2 after installing Logic Pro 7.2 Upgrade

hi guys,
my gf just bought me the logic pro 7.2 upgrade from logic express that i use and i have a quick question to ask..
i have installed and updated Logic Pro to 7.2.3 -- what do i do with Logic Express app? do i just drag and drop it to my trash to uninstall it? I want to free up some space on my HD so will Logic Pro now work if i uninstall my Logic Express? If this is the case, then if i remove Logic Express from my HD by dragging the .app file into the trash is it safe to assume i will not delete any folders that will prevent Logic Pro from working?
Thanks!
super excited about upgrade!!!!!
:-DDDDDDDDD

Hey Sparco.
I was wondering the same thing, as I've recently done this as well (bought LP after owning LE, that is). I was always wondering whether or not I needed it there, or even GB for that matter. I almost deleted LE/GB, until I realized that the programs themselves aren't taking up that much space. What takes up the most space are the sample libraries, apple loops (at least the non-midi ones), and perhaps some of the plugins. As far as I can tell, Logic Pro will install as a separate app, but it will share all of the file resources with LE and GB, and just add extra stuff on top (like the ES2, Scultpure, etc etc). I don't think you'd be saving all that much space getting rid of LE.
Besides, having LE around means that you don't ALWAYS need the xskey. Perfect for anyone running a laptop.

Plug-ins unavailable after reinstalling Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade

I have been running Logic Pro 7.2 which was purchased as an upgrade from Logic Gold with an Emagic XS key. Everything had been running fine until recently when I had to reformat my startup partition and reinstall everything.
Reinstalling Logic Gold seemed to be straight forward. It booted up as normal with all Logic and third party plug-ins appearing in their drop down folders when selecting a plug in.
I then proceeded to reinstall Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade only to find that all of Logic's AU plug-ins and third party plug-ins were no longer available to me within Logic Pro 7.2...?
I'm absolutely puzzled by this. Can any anyone help me?

Logic Pro X and Yosemite issues

It seems I have some very basic issues with Logic Pro X 10.0.7 after upgrading to Yosemite OS on my MacBook Air:
1. Zooming the main window by swiping two fingers apart or together on the mouse pad does not work anymore.
2. Adjusting the length of audio regions in the main window does not work anymore. It works as usual on midi tracks, but when I hover the end of an audio region the brackets just do not appear. I have now used automation to silence the bit that I wanted to shorten, but that is more of a hassle.
I have tried restarting Logic Pro X, restarting the MacBook and looked for any settings that may have been changed, but to no avail.
Do these issues sound familiar to anyone? Any thought on how to fix?

1) Zooming
the zooming with the swipe gesture was always problematic, but it is now only happening in the Audio FIles Editor and to some extend in the Score Editor. All the other windows work fine on my machine.
2) Resize Tool
Works fine without a problem in the Main Window and the Editor windows. Of course, you can resize in the Audio FIles Editor.
Hope that helps

Where I can find Logic pro 7.1 upgrade

I acquired Logic pro 7 software, which I use on PPC G4 computer with Pro Tools Mix++ system. I would like to find 7.1 upgrade. This was actualy free upgrade, Apple sold it for 20$ on DVD (shipping costs).

Indeed.. It was a paid update that was only available from Apple directly and Apple have now ceased selling it...
However, I did locate a Logic 6-7 upgrade which is actually an upgrade from Logic Pro 6 to Logic Pro 7.1.... though i have no idea what it would do if you tried to use it to upgrade from 7.0...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-PRO-LOGIC-7-UPGRADE-SOFTWARE-NEW-M9667Z-A-7-1-/370 832497211?pt=US_Image_Video_Audio_Software&hash=item565756da3b
Other than that, after a brief search around.. I didn't find a real 7.0 to 7.1 upgrade package anywhere and I know one of my clients took almost 8 months of looking about 18 months ago... before he located one himself... and he had to pay almost $100 for his..so be prepared for a wait and pay above the original pricing...
Might be better to upgrade to Logic Pro 8..... if your hardware supports it?

HT201541 10.1 logic pro x free upgrade but not for me ?

hi
have logic pro x
and it seems there is now a new upgrade , 10.1 .
i have no link for this upgrade , which does seem like a blessing at the moment as there seems to be many bugs that need fixing .
but still concerned i do not have the link all the same .
anyone else having this problem .
thank you in advance

Then in that case, do this..
Go to the Purchase tab in the Mac App Store
Check that you see Logic pro X listed there.
if you don't then you are not probably signed into the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic Pro X in which case go to the menu bar, Store > Sign out and then sign in again using the correct Apple ID
Once you see it there....
Go to your Applications folder and Delete the Logic Pro X app...
Restart your Mac
Now go to the Mac Apple Store app > Purchase tab and click on the download/install button to the far right of the Logic Pro X entry there... and it will download and install the latest version v10.1of Logic Pro X to your applications folder for free.

Logic pro will not upgrade

I have not used Logic Pro since upgrading to Lion and now it won't work. I have downloaded 9.1.6 and it states that I have not got applicable software installed. I have, its legal etc. I searched the web for 9.1.4 but cannot get a download copy. Has anyone got any idea or do I have to go to the Apple store?

Hi
make sure that you have your Logic Pro application in the Application folder (and NOT in any other folder within Applications) and make sure that the app is named "Logic Pro" with No spaces/numbers after the name.

Logic Pro 8 Academic Upgrade to 9?

I have Logic Pro 8 running on an iMac. It is the academic version. Can I upgrade from this to Logic Pro 9?
Thank you!

Straight answer No, you have to buy an academic version of 9.
Why they don't offer this, I have no idea.

Logic Pro 7 Academic upgradable?

Hello,
I am interested in purchasing the Logic Pro 7 software for my recently bought MacBook Pro (15.4"). I will be using my student status in order to make this purchase, and thus I'll have the Logic Pro 7 Academic version. Because of my computer being Intel-based, I'll also need the 7.2 Crossgrade, but from the notice on the Logic Pro 7 Academic web-page I understand that this version could not be upgraded.
I'd be very glad if you could explain to me why/if such upgrade is impossible, and then what is the recommended way to have a Logic Pro 7 on my Intel-based MacBook Pro using my student status.
Many thanks,
Nimrod Katzir

Yea...it's upgradeable but only in decimal increments. So you can get 7.1 and 7.2, but if Logic Pro 8 ever comes out, you will have to buy it.

Logic pro x native instrument issue: the vintage B3 organ doesn't work at all!

I installed logic pro x, and the vintage B3 organ doesn't work at all! Oddest thing? Help?
Yes, the little blue power "button" is pressed in the window for the organ.
Yes, my other instruments seem to be working just fine...

OK, I solved my problem - I don't know why I didn't see the other responses on this earlier. Turns out the midi output has to be set to channel 1....

Logic Pro 9 Cavern kit issue

Hi. I recently downloaded LP9 from the app store. When I try to load the "cavern kit" I get an error message which says: Audio file "DNA W Ht Open m Fr.aif" not found! Any ideas? Thanks!

Have you checked to make sure the file actually exists on your system?
You should find it inside of;
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/Cavern Kit
(Replace Macintosh HD with the name of your System drive if you didn't use the default....)
Note: This file is not located in your User Library but in the System Library found in the Root of your System HD
If it is not there then...
Did you download all additional content via the Logic Pro menu bar... Logic Pro/Download Additional Content and made sure it all downloaded/installed correctly?
Did you try and remove GarageBand at any time? (That particular file is actually one that is instaled with Garageband.. )

Logic Pro X guitar recording issues

I am using a Line 6 Toneport GX to record my guitar tracks using Logic Pro X on a 2014 Retina macbook 13"
I don't know why but my volume needs to be maxed out for me to even hear any guitar signal (by pressing volume up on the keyboard) Then there's this horrendous buzzing constantly heard when i am not playing any notes.
What is the deal??? The guitar tone itself sounds terrible no matter which amp preset I am using.

1) Zooming
the zooming with the swipe gesture was always problematic, but it is now only happening in the Audio FIles Editor and to some extend in the Score Editor. All the other windows work fine on my machine.
2) Resize Tool
Works fine without a problem in the Main Window and the Editor windows. Of course, you can resize in the Audio FIles Editor.

MacBook Pro hard disk upgrade shows question mark folder

I recently bought a 1TB hard disk for my teenaged daughter's MacBook Pro.
I formatted it, used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the existing drive. I even made sure to create the recovery partition.
I restarted while holding the option key and chose the new drive. It booted fine so I checked in System Preferences to make sure it was selected as the boot device.
I opened the case and swapped the drives. Put it back together and restarted only to see the question mark folder!
I tried booting while holding the option key and now I get the choose a network prompt.
I am desperate and hate the thought of disappointing my daughter. It used to be that I was her hero who could fix anything now I'm the guy who asks too many questions and doesn't put enough money on her debit card. Granted she busts her butt getting awesome grades and I was upgrading her drive so she could continue her video yearbook for her school. So I shouldn't complain but it would be great to be her hero again.
BTW, I am not a newbie to the tech world but I don't do nearly as much in the Apple arena as I do in the PC world. Then again I've been a senior tech in the industry sine before IBM had a PC. In fact, my first real work was on a 6502 processor that used the same machine code as the Rage of the day, the Apple ][. All that to say I usually can find my way around a problem but this one has me stumped.
I appreciate any assistance offered.
Thanks,
Thom

I tried to reboot with the option, command P. And R keys pressed. I heard the ding several times it still showed the question mark! I also tried the shift option and it only displayed the network selection. Also I tried to press C so I could boot from USB and it didn't work either.
If I cannot get this to work I fear my only other choice is to use a FireWire enclosure. This isn't a good option as my daughter does mostly movie work and iMovie has this terrible "feature" that forces all movies to be stored in one place. It sure would be handy if it allowed movie projects to set the storage location individually. I suppose I could simply move all the movies to the drive and try to find a way to point all iMovie projects to the external drive.
Unfortunately, my daughter is one of those Mac users who isn't savvy enough to use anything but the default settings. Heck I've tried to explain to her that she ought to get rid of the big files once she has done her work. That's why her drive is always full.
