Logic Pro 9/OS X Lion - Upgrade

Recently upgraded through the Mac App Store for both Logic Pro 9 & OS X Lion.
Since upgrading, experiencing issues whilst performing a number of tasks in Logic.
Firstly, upon launch of an existing project, I get a, "would u like to save new project option'' before windows for existing project open.
This option has attached itself to all existing folders/project as if to say, u have launched a new project and then tried to open and existing folder without saving/closing.
Combined w/ this. Have just tried to record Audio into Logic and for some unknown reason cannot get signal on Channel Strip/Master/Out-put.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this an instillation error?
Global task bar both for Logic turns Gray upon launching of application. From what I recall, this has only began since updating to OS X lion.
Is this cause for concern? Is this a CPU Issue? Operating off a Late 2008 Mac Pro, 2G Ram/ Upgraded to Logic Pro 9 from Logic Pro 8.
Any help would be great,
Cheers!

Hi there lastditchstand!
I have some information for you that I believe will help you get this content installed. The information can be found in the Logic Pro manual, which can be found right here:
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Logic_Studio_09_Installing_Your_Software.pdf
Specifically, the information you are looking for starts on page 16:
The Logic Studio installer includes a Custom Install pane where you can specify the applications and content to install. You can also configure the Custom Install pane to install only selected content items later if you choose not to install them with the applications.
If you use the Logic Studio installer to install selected content items later, the process is the same as is described in “Installing Logic Studio,” except that you are not required to enter your serial number again.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion??

Hi!
How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion?
For example, if tomorrow will be new updates for Logic Pro for exapmle 9.1.8. (now I have 9.1.7) Will I not able to get it?? Now should I buy the second Logic pro??
Recently I have got answer from App Store support:
"Max, since you have not purchased the app in the App Store, you can't get updates directly in App Store. In this case, you will need to purchase the updated version in the App Store so you can get further updates."
It's... I bought Logic Pro 9 + MainStage + + +++ .... in the Apple Retail Store and what now?? Updates works perfect in Snow Leopard.
I can't understand...
Can you help me please? =)

Max,
Rest assurred, you will get updates via the App store. What will happen is when you install the box version, the Mac App Store will ping when there is an update to download(for free), much like any other Apple app(Garageband, iWork, etc) regardless of where you bought it from. If it's installed, it will check for updates.
If the Mac App store doesn't show an update that you know is out, simply down it directly from support.apple.com and apply it.
Hope this helps. If so, LIKE the post.

TS2565 logic pro 9 and mountain lion

I got a prompt saying that Logic does not work with my current operating system. I have to believe that it not corect.
I am running Mountain Lion with Logic Pro 9.
I got the upgrade to 9.1.8 but the installer can't find the App. How to I make it see the app, which is in my applications folder?

Mac Pro early 2008 is apparently supported, according to Apple - everything will work except for Airdrop.
From Apple's website:-
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

Logic Pro 9 lags on Lion, even in 64-bit

I recently upgraded to Lion because of my side-activities as an aspiring iOS developer (no iOS5.1 SDK on Snow Leopard).
Since then, I noticed that Logic Pro MIDI reactiveness has hit the bottom: hitting a key on my keyboard doesn't take effect as soon as expected, making it impossible to play live.
I went to Logic and Reason and made them run in 64-bit mode, this kinda improved the situation but it still is non playable.
Has anyone some idea of how I could make Logic Pro fly like... one week ago, in 32-bit mode on Snow Leopard?
For info, my sound card is an M-Audio Fast-Track Ultra, and I use a CME UF8 USB as a master keyboard, as well as an Akai MPD-26 controller.

I have Logic Pro 7 and want to upgrade to X but I can't because I have a 2007 MacBook Pro - I can only run Logic Pro 9 - where can I find it to buy?

Any recommendation as to where I can buy Logic Pro 9? I can't run X on my MacBook because I can't upgrade to Mavericks.

Yes.. that is described as what you need.
Fingers crossed but you should be fine if it from a reputable person..
One tip.. Once you have installed it.. remember to update LP to 9.1.8 as that is the most stable version under Lion....
I would recommend doing this before you run LP for the first time...
Use this link to download the correct update for your version....

Logic Pro 8 and Mountain Lion

So I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and have run into a problem when running Logic Pro 8.
First off, I'm still using Logic Pro 8 because until now I've had no problems with it and have seen no reason to purchase version 9 (If it's not broke, don't fix it).
Well, since installing Mountain Lion, Logic crashes every time I try to do and (Option-Drag) Time stretch. Since this is a feature I use almost constantly this has become a HUGE problem!! I love Mountain Lion otherwise so don't particularly wan't to go back to Snow Leopard but it's looking like it could be the only way forward. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know a way to get around it? I've seen a few suggestions to open Logic in 32 bit mode but can't figure out how to do it with Logic 8, all of the suggestion are for Logic 9 and dont have the same path. If anyone can help or has any suggesetion that would be much apprictiated!
Cheers

I am not, but if Logic 8 does not work it is not because of 32/64 bit limitations, as OS X could not haver made significant changes without also breaking Logic 9 nad a bunch of other 32bit Applications. 32bit Apps work fine in ML and always have, and 64bit bootloaders existed on nearly all Mac Pros and even the old Xserve and they ran Logic 8 fine. The restrictions are most likely in the .plist files inside the .app file, the same way they were when trying to run older versions of Java which were also 'incompatible' due to .plist only listing up to 10.7 being compatible (this was important wen testing and running old Java programs). I would tell you how to edit it so that Logic could Launch normally but I don't have a copy of Logic 8 anymore to grab the original and make edits.
As mentioned in the link you can run Logic 8 by doing the following:
1. launch Terminal
2. type (exactly, including quotes and ampersand)
If logic is not in Applications, substitute the formoer portion of the directory by dragging the Logic.app file into Terminal, then add /Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro" & to the end, make sure there a respeech marks at either end.
"/Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro" &
3. press ENTER (and then minimize the Terminal window)
4. look (and hear) at Logic Pro Studio 8 roaring out at your favourite Lion
5. enjoy!
6. When you're finished recording/playing in Logic just quit it as usual (don't forget to save your job)
7. you can now quit Terminal too.
This will bypass the .plist files in the .app by running the binary directly

I have been using Logic Pro 8 on my Macbook OSX 10.5.8 Recently I purchased a new Macbook OSX 10.7.3 but cannot install Logic Pro 8 on it. Do I need to purchase a new Logic Pro 9 or can I upgrade my Logic 8 to logic 9 and then install?

Is there anyone out there who is having the same problem.

Thanks ... for posting a method that works.
UPDATE:
The photo posted above is Logic Pro 8 running in Snow Leopard virtualized in Parallels 7 in Lion.
I just attempted to install it into the Lion Macintosh HD from running the Logic Installer in Snow Leopard virtualized. The Installer application does NOT see the Lion Macintosh HD in its Select a Destination window. More work needs to be done for this approach to work...
Any ideas?
In the meantime, someone will have to work out an installation method using Pacifist (as CCTM suggests above), similar to this approach to installing GarageBand Jam Packs into Lion (which installer also requires Rosetta):

Logic pro 6 to 7.2 upgrade - package contents?

Hi,
I was just wondering if the logic pro 7.2 upgrade box contains the manuals, or if it's just the dvds. if not, does anyone know where i can purchase the manual and for how much?
cheers.

Mine did ( 6 to 7.0 ), pdf and print. You can DL the manuals from Apple for free. Otherwise, I know of no option to buy only the manual, though there are supplemental Apple instruction guides.

Does logic pro 8 work mountain lion?

I've updated my Mac Xeon with Mountain Lion and now my Logic Pro 8 is giving me a midi conflict error. How can I fix this or does Logic Pro 8 even work Mountain LIon? Can anyone help me?

I know.. I have both read and taken part in that thread but again....
The majority of peopole who run Logic 9.1.8 and Lion or now Mountain Lion do not have those issues... and because they do not, they don't post in such threads.. so you get a distorted view of the true numbers of people with problems.
Those that do have issues, will naturally post up in such threads... but that doesn't mean they are the majority of users... They are just the 'loudest' and quite rightly so.
I will also say that for me personally, 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.5/9.1.6 was and still is the most stable platform for Logic of all of the various combinations available... but apart from an annoying issue with the "airplay' dialog box that keeps popping up in 9.1.8 with ML... and the GUI lag affecting a few plugins.. I don't have any major issues with Logic and ML... so I can happily live and work with that setup...
Finally, it's also worth noting that with my own client base.. initially with Lion and then Mountain Lion the number of clients who had problems was much higher.. Probably closer to 20-25% had issues.. but most of those issues were resolved by updates to incompatible drivers/3rd party plugins and so on...
Once those kind of issues were resolved... as I said earlier, the number of my clients who still have major issues running uner Lion or ML with Logic Pro 9 has dropped to less than 5%... and to me, that respresents a minority of all users... like it or not.

Will the Zoom R16 work as an interface in Logic Pro X under Mountain Lion?

I've searched and found some indications that the Zoom R16 will work and has problems with earlier versions of Mac OS; so my question is actually will the R16 work under Mountain Lion (GB, Logic Pro, etc) as a control AND a recording interface?
I'll be using it on either a late 2011 MBP core i7 16GB Ram solid state HD (live playing, live recording) or on a late 2012 iMac core i7 32GB Ram solid state HD with Thunderbolt and USB3.0 outboard drives (recording).
Any input would be appreciated... I've been unable to definitely tell if it's an "install the driver, install Logic Pro, and then rock n roll" or it's a "doesn't work correctly, makes noise, crashed my system AND killed my pet rabbit" kind of thing.
Thanks,
Les

Thanks Art of Sound. I did see that post but it didn't give me a warm feeling about the Zoom.
My bad, I should have posted back after I messed around with this. It turned out that my problem was due to some kind of intermittent connection within the Zoom itself.
I got another one, and it's working fine now as a Mackie Control. It's a little arcane getting it hooked up in Logic (mostly due to inexperience on my part), but so far it seems to be working fine...
If I can spare anyone the frustration/confusion:
Basically:
Download the latest and greatest Zoom R16 driver from their web site and install (I'm using OSX ML and it works fine with Logic Pro X).
Plug in Zoom R16 via USB 2.0 cable, (then on the Zoom itself, select USB, then AUDIO INTERFACE? (Enter), then SETTING? (Enter).
You may need to open Audio/Midi Preferences and set that to the ZOOM R16.
Open Logic and hopefully it sees the Zoom.
Under main Logic Pro X header, select Control Surfaces>Setup
Find and add "Mackie Control" (there are other ones, this one works, can't speak to the rest).
Then (and this is the part that I kept missing) make sure to select the Mackie Control (so it gets a blue box around it) and then make sure the Output Port and Input Port are set to Zoom R16_R24 using the little up/down arrow thingies at the right of each box. I didn't see these/figure out how to select at first... I'm a DA NOOB.
That's it. Open a new multitrack project, assign your inputs to channels, and off you go!
Recording:
All inputs work, level control and faders (which aren't motorized, so it can be a little confusing at first)
Transport and control buttons work, the jog/shuttle is useful.
There are 5 function buttons that by default change the Logic screen setups (can be programmed differently)
Track button seems to mute/unmute only.
The on-board condenser mikes work, if you want them (channels 7 & 8 on the Zoom). Ugh.
Electric guitar direct in seems ok, and a Shure SM57 worked fine. I'll be working with some better mikes hopefully this weekend.
I have it working happily with a late 2011 MBPro, and a late 2012 iMac.
For the money, considering it's a stand-alone 8 track digital recorder (seems to work ok for that purpose so far) as well, it's actually sort of cool. Setup your mixdown in Logic as a wave project, and pull the files off the SD card (Zoom can be configured as a USB card reader easily). Will record at high sample rates allegedly.
I won't be so lazy in future, and I'll report my on-going experience with it.

They will work side by side.

Vst to Audio Unit Adapter Logic Pro OS X Mountain Lion

Hi,
So after looking on Google, Fxpansion seemed to be the most famous software used for converting VSTs to Audio Units onto Logic Pro. After buying and downloading it, I figured their company would not provide support anymore, and their software was not compatible with OS X Mountain Lion.
So now that Fxpansion doesn't provide the service I was looking for, I am wondering what you guys are using in order to use VSTs such as Massive or Sylenth in Logic Pro?
Thank you in advance!

Its worth noting.. because a lot of people get the wrong idea about such 'wrappers' .....
...that only Mac versions of VSTs work with such 'wrappers' and not Windows versions and as almost every Mac VST is available as an AU plugin anyhow.. such 'wrappers' have become obsolete these days.
Massive and Sylenth are both available as AU plugins.. However, Sylenth is only available as a 32bit plugin and therefore will not work with LPX.
You can use VEP5 however, to run 32bit plugins in LPX but if thats all you use VEP5 for, it is a pricey solution.
Its also worth noting that if you have a PC with Windows installed, lying around.. you can run VEP5 on the PC and that will allow you to access Windows VST plugins that are insatlled on the PC.. with Logic Pro (9 and X) on your Mac
