Logic Pro 8 transfer to new iMac

I just bought a new iMac 5K and want to transfer my Logic Pro 8.
When I start up Logic it asks me for the serial number. I have looked thru the original package and can't find a serial number.
I copied down the serial number of LP8 on my old MacPro but it doesn't seem to work.
How do I go about it? Where do I go or who do I contact?

This is tough but true…...
I wouldn't bother tracking down your serial as Logic 8 does not work on Yosemite 10.10.x.
The 'oldest' version of Logic that will work on your new machine is 9.1.8 but even with the newest version of Logic X a lot of people are having a lot of issues on 10.10.x.
Either way, 8 will not work. Sorry to be the barer of bad news.

Thanks Eriksimon,
Some menu items were missing. For this reason I took the Control Bar Screenshot only.

Thank you for your time!

Using time machine backup from my Macbook pro to my new IMAC 27

Hi just tried to do a system restore of my time machine back up from my macbook pro to my new Imac 27, and the imac won't boot. Can I use a time machine back up to restore all of my data to my new Imac 27? Any help would be great thanks.

It sounds like you've overwritten the new computer's installation of OS X with one that is an earlier and incompatible version. You need to erase the new computer's hard drive then reinstall OS X using the original installation discs that came with the new computer. After you complete the installation you will have the opportunity to use Migration Assistant to migrate your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and network preferences from an external drive, another connected computer, or an attached Time Machine backup drive.
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID, then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. After the above process has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete your OS X installation.
5. When the installation is completed the computer will restart into the Setup Assistant. When you arrive at the point of setting up an initial admin account DO NOT use the same user (short) name that you have been using on your old system. Choose a temporary name to use such as Test or Temp, for example. At the end of the setup you will have an opportunity to migrate data from your TM backup. You can then migrate the Home folder, applications, network preferences, etc. Just do not do a full system restore, again.
6. When the migration has completed open Accounts preferences. Click on the lock and authenticate. Click on the Account Options button (bottom of the sidebar with account listing.) Change the Automatic Login preferences to use your migrated account. Click on the OK button and restart the computer.
7. Your computer should restart into your old Home folder with all your data. Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate, select the temporary account you created then click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the last option (immediate removal) and click on the OK button.

Transitioned from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to boot I get a "General Error 41" and files do not load. Took the WD to the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works OK. Ideas?

Transitioning from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut Express files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to load a project to the iMac I get a "General Error 41" and the files do not load. Took the WD the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works fine. The problem seems to be in my new iMac, other WD's with different files load OK. Any ideas?

Hi
Can it be so that You try to boot a G5 (Power) Mac from one external hard disk - then try to boot an INTEL Mac from same external Mac.
WILL NOT WORK - It's not just the Mac OS Extended formation that plays a part here - they have to be formatted differently to be bootable on each system.
I don't think there is any solution to this AT ALL.
When You format a hard disk.
• Select Partitions
• Under the graphic representation to the left there is an Alternative button
Here You select if it's supposed to be Bootable on a Power CPU or INTEL-CPU
No other possibilities.

I transferred about 400 gigs of data from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac using Migration Assistant, but it doesn't show on Finder. How can I locate my data?

I transferred about 400 gigs of data from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac using Migration Assistant, but can't find any of my data on Finder. I'm thinking that the data got transferred but not cataloged. Finder shows about 400 gigs of my hard drive being used, but the files it shows don't come anywhere close to 400 gigs. How can I find out what is really on the hard drive and how can I access my MacBook files I transferred?

I suggest that you start over, boot into Internet recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, erase and reformat the HD with one partition and GUID option, quit Disk Utility, restore the OS, and on first boot, use the Setup Assistant to migrate from the MacBook, following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. If that doesn't solve your problem, contact Apple's Support. If they recommend the same steps, I'd opt to return the machine and get another (you can do that the first 14 days you own it, no questions asked).

How can I reset Logic Pro 9 in my iMac 'cos i eraser some presets effects in mastering list? I need to use again.

You can't, I think. But you can open an old project where it was used, or if you know somebody else with logic, you can ask a copy of the presets and then manually drop them where they belong. What is missing exactly and how did you erase the presets?
Have a nice day!

How do I transfer files/settings from my macbook pro to my new iMac?

My macbook pro's logic board is bad, so it does not power on. Is there any way to still transfer files or settings from the hard drive? An adapter of some sort? Maybe the Apple Store can when I get the iMac?
All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.

Hi landonw
The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.

To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

How to transfer logic pro to a new computer

I have Logic Pro installed on 2 MBP's. I want to move one copy to a different MBP. How do i transfer Logic and it's license over to my new computer?
Thanks!

Just reinstall=ing Logic never seems to do much and is considered basically a waste of time in almost every case...
So.. while the following is a PITA.. it's the most reliable method to get everything up and running on a new Mac....
1) Reformat the System drive and install OS X using the Recovery partition...
Restart Mac (and when the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
Note: Dont simply reinstall OS X... Use the menu option to get to the Disk Utility... and reformat System Drive...Then install OS X..
2) Install Logic Pro 9 Update only.... It will ask for both your LP8 and then LP9 serials so enter them...
3) Update LP9 to 9.1.8 using this link...
Logic Pro 9.1.8
4) Test LP9 to ensure its all working
5) Install the latest Audio/Midi drivers if needed..
6) Test LP9 again....
7) Install Kontakt (latest version) or Komplete if that's what you have... and update via NI's Service Center
8) Test LP9 and Kontakt...
9) Now install anything else you use...
(10) Manually copy across all personal data, projects/photos/docs etc.. from old Mac via external HD or Thumb drive...
Dont use Migration..........

How To Install Logic Pro from my Mac Pro to a new iMac?

I read about this once but have forgotten.
I currently have Logic Pro on my Mac Pro.Using the latest version.
Just bought an iMac which will be here soon.
I have the original Logic discs and the box says "Upgrade from Logic Studio or Logic Pro" on the front.
As I remember, I will have to install all these DVDs on the new iMac, then somehow update the application to the current version online. Is this correct?
Where does one go to do the update? App store? So confusing.
It's like...they wanted you to register your copy of Logic when you bought it...so if you did, why don't they know you already own it and allow you to just download it to your new computer?
Thanks for any help
Tom

Apple is nowhere near as small a company and unfortunately, when a company grows, these kind of requests start to come in so often that the management finds ways to obscure, redirect, or flat out refuse to provide service and help out.
There is also the big factor that Apple may not even know the key themselves. Even if they know you bought a copy, Logic doesnt talk to the internet to verify AFAIK so there would be very little reason for them to be able to link your key to your receipt to tell you what your serial was, and I imagine they are understandably touchy about giving out new ones.
Does your old registration login still work? I was under the impression that it would all be eaten up by the App Store.

Is there any way to transfer CS5 from current Macbook Pro to brand new iMac?

I currently have CS5 on my Macbook Pro, but I just bought a new iMac yesterday which I want as my main design platform. I currently cannot find my CS5 disc or upgrade information, I can only find my original CS3 Design Premium Disc. I still have the activation codes/serial number for both CS3 and CS5, so I'm very much hoping there is a solution to get CS5 onto the iMac?!?!
Please Help!!!

Logic pro or logic 9 app for new iMac i5- or i7?

I'm a musician and teacher with a home studio that hasn't been running properly for a few years since I bought my DA88 in the late 80's, and sold my 3m's 24 track tape recorder! As I've been using PC's at school running Cubase & Nuendo, but at a very basic level, should I buy iMac i5 or i7 for my home studio production?
Then, should I download the logic 9 app on my iPad ready to copy to my iMac, if I buy it, or should I purchase logic pro software to have a spare hard copy if and when I need to back it up?
Really don't know what to do?
How many watts per internal speaker is the iMac 27" & 25"?
As there is only a mini jack output on the iMac, how do I split the tracks separately onto my 24 channel O2R desk? I presume I will only get stereo out with a stereo jack plug in one output & have to do the mixing on the iMac?
I have a MOTU midi express 8 in & 4 out never yet used, plus various outboard effects including Lexicon, SRV2000 and Drawmer compressor limiters, Rocktron hush, Neumann mike, AKG 414 & SM58 mikes,, XMPTE SYMPTE synchroniser etc but all are redundant at the moment!
What do I need to purchase and to do to get started recording my 2 outboard keyboards, Roland sampler, 2 expander keyboard modules and 4 vocal tracks, all to be double and some treble tracked at times too?
Professional advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'll answer a couple of these and let others chime in.
In my opinion... you don't want to use built-in Mac audio output/iMac speakers for anything remotely resembling professional work. You have some pro equipment you need a pro or semi-pro audio interface with multiple ins/outs. You already have a MIDI interface so you're ok there.
Apple no longer sells "hard copy" software, most of the Logic 9 boxes have been removed from the shelves.
You will have to purchase from the App store.
Read this post to see what is, and what isn't included.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17113786#17113786
Don't bother downloading anything on the iPad that would be a wasted effort.
Hope you have a fast connection, Logics additional content is many, many gigs of data.
Amazed that you have Nuendo at school, it's both expensive and impressive, it is a recent version?

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
