Logic Pro Installation Issue

I recently had to wipe my MacBook and reinstall.  When attempting to install Logic Pro, I am getting an error stating that the installation failed because there is no software found.  The DVD is fine.  What do i do now?

Retry, it worked for me!

    Installed Logic pro from app store, downloading some 2gb additional software. After the password was submitted and installation completed nothing happens.... Try to launch and new downloader window opens to download the same 2gb ???? help plz

    Hi
    The briefest of tech requirements are here:
    http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/
    Reagarding disk/SSD space, it is relatively easy to move the AppleLoop content to another drive, though the download installers will not allow for installation directly to anything but the System drive (you have to install, then move and re-index).
    Other content could be moved, but it could be more hassle than it is worth.
    Generally, running projects from the system drive is not recommended, though this is not likely to be a problem with an SSD. You will probably need some external storage for finished projects, backups and the like.
    For me, the biggest issue with the Air, is the small screen.

  • Logic Pro 8 Issues, Error Messages

    Hi all.
    I've been having a variety of problems with my home recording studio, which i have neglected to post about until now- from what i've read it seems no-one knows how to fix them. I'm turning to the MacTalk community to resolve my woes... First things first, here's the gear:
     MacBook Pro (mid-2008), 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, OS X 10.5.6.
     I use Logic Pro 8 primarily, and this is where all the errors are popping up. I record to WAV, 24-bit, 48KHz (for the sake of diagnosing errors, I have tried 16-bit, 44.1KHz and noticed no difference).
     All audio-related work is handled on a WD MyStudio External FW800 HDD.
     My audio interfaces are an Apogee Duet, and an M-Audio ProFire 2626 (both running latest drivers).
    Now, there are 3 (possibly related) problems i'm having with my setup.
    ✖ Problem #1
    I receive an error message indicating a 'System Overload' at random times during playback and occasionally recording.
    It halts the audio, and I need to click play or record again. Sometimes it happens again and again, other times it’s just a one-off. This problem can occur with either the Duet or ProFire interface. Apparently the number of tracks I’m recording or playing is irrelevant, as it happens under many different circumstances.
    ✖ Problem # 2
    I receive an error message telling me that the “Drive is too slow, error -10004”, and this happens only in recording (I think; oh and it looks like the previous dialogue box). As mentioned above, I use a FW800 external HDD, so it shouldn’t be a hardware requirements issue – it SHOULD be fine as far as I know. It was particularly bad when I was recording 5 channels of audio into the ProFire 2626. Like the previous issue, it halts the recording, and sometimes recurs. It may not happen with the Duet.
    I may be imagining things, but I think it records fine indefinitely when I’m recording near-silence, i.e. not playing my drums. It almost seems as though the problem is triggered when I get particularly loud. Perhaps it’s clipping, I’ll have to check. Still, it shouldn’t cause an error that halts recording should it?
    ✖ Problem #3
    This one only occurs with the ProFire. I get minor crackles and little bits of distortion and ugly tearing sounds in some channels occasionally. They each only last a fraction of a second, and usually aren’t particularly loud, but they spoil takes. Can occur during silent passages OR loud parts.
    For the record, I typically record to WAV, 24-bit, 48KHz, with a 128 or 256 sample buffer, Medium Process Buffer Range, and Software Monitoring enabled. However, I have tried up to 1024 sample buffer, Large Process Buffer Range, 16-bit, 44.1KHz WAV, and turned off Software Monitoring – none of this made a difference.
    So, if anyone thinks they can help me out here, please do so! I’ll greatly appreciate any input ☺
    Cheers,
    Chris

    This problem points to a buffer that is set too low. Make it one step bigger, but leave the I/O safety buffer OFF.
    also: you can disable the warning message.
    2.
    CAN also be buffer-related, but it may be the disk. Is it a 5400 or 7200 RPM disk?
    It may also be that memory is too full. I would recommend installing Menumeters (freeware) http://www.pure-mac.com/diag.html#menumeters
    You can monitor CPU-use, disk activity, memory use, paging activity and network activity with it.
    Another thing to consider is to Freeze all Software Instrument tracks before recording. Also freeze heavily 'insert-pluginned' audio tracks. This may free up a lot of CPU power.
    3. This problem might benefit from the above tips as well, but I think you can win the most by NOT using software monitoring when recording (for all three issues); it brings extra latency and puts much more strain on the CPU. Through which plugs do you monitor? And why?
    I'ld recommend using the direct monitoring capabilities of both your interfaces, and avoid Software Monitoring when recording. Also being aware of what is going on (by using both Menumeters AND Logics' own CPU-meters) can be crucial - especially Paging (when active RAM is written to or read from disk) can disturb Logic, as well as background OS X applications that kick in during a session.
    I also recommend turning off Journaling before a recording session. To do that, open *Disk Utility*, select the recording disk from its' list, hold down the ⌥ key and choose the menu *File>Disable Journaling*.
    To turn it back on after recording, same actions, only now the menu item will say *Enable Journaling*.
    regards, Erik.

  • Logic Pro Metering Issues

    currently working on a song, snare drum channel meter infrequently will not register a snare hit eventhough audio is playing at that moment - this does not happen at the same point in the song each time....kinda weird, hope you may have some insight.
    I've copied the audio region in question to another track, and I still get this same behavior
    The source of the track was a compilation from a drum comp which was then flattened and  merged to become one new track
    Running MacBook pro i5 snow leopard
    Thanks for any input!

    Alrighty,
    Erik, your method work, and I could record perfectly fine when I disabled software monitoring. I started a fresh project, and everything worked fine, and latency was workable with. However, I closed and open the project 30 mins later and back to sqaure one. I disabled software monitoring, and it works fine again.
    Do you think my "returning to work" issue is more of Logic Pro been all derpy *****, or its my interface?

  • Logic Pro 9 issues

    I recently had to re-install my LP 9, after having to install a new hard drive. It worked without having to use the serial number. (Because I lost the box). Anyway, today it asked for the serial number. Doesn't Apple usually keep info like that on file?

    What happens when you try to open the folder containing the samples directly in the Finder? Does it open okay and display the samples?
    It sounds like the directory structure of your external has become corrupted. That should also be evident if you navigate to any of the error producing folders in the Finder.
    Have you tried the *Verify Disk* followed by the *Repair Disk* function in Disk Utility?

    If that doesn't help, you may need DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to repair that.

  • Logic Pro 9: Playhead/Playback/Audio Levels/Logic Pro X Issue, PLEASE HELP!

    When I press play within the project, the playhead doesn't move from left to right with the audio like it should. As well as within the mix window, the audio levels are not displayed. However, when I click and hold within the arrange window, everything is fine and working properly, but I'm not going to be holding down the mouse the whole time I'm working on a project.
    Does anybody have any sort of advice for me at all?
    Also, if I were to buy Logic Pro X, would all of my projects currently running in Logic Pro 9 be able to open up in Logic Pro X? I also have the Waves Mercury Bundle, Vangard and Antares Auto-Tune, would all of those work with Logic Pro X?

  • Logic pro installations (pre-App Store)

    I would like to install Logic Pro on my old (2006) Powerbook Pro however, the disk drives on those machines was notoriously unreliable, so I can't install from the disks (I purchased it as an upgrade from v8, prior to App Store downloads being available).
    Can you offer any guidance as to whether the serial number can be recognised by the App Store, and then a copy downloaded. I assume that it's paired with my Apple I.D., but in the App Store, my only option appears to be to repurchase it. This isn't an option for me.
    Thanks.

    No, your serial isn't linked with the copy of Logic that can be obtained from the App Store.. and your Apple ID and Password..
    When you install Logic from the boxed set some files are created on your System HD that contain your serial (once you have entered it during the install proceedure)
    When you go to update via the newly combined App Store and Software Updater mechanism the update routines check for those files containing the serial and allow you to download any updates if those files exists. No serial codes on your HD? No ability to download or update from the app store app without purchasing the App store version of Logic..
    So, you cannot download a fresh copy of Logic from the App store without purchasing it... as doing so uses a different mechanism altogether...
    So, how do you install your Logic Studio 2 Upgrade (Logic Pro 9) if your internal DVD has failed...?
    Two methods...
    Buy an external USB DVD from somewhere like Amazon for $30 and use that to install the Logic Studio 2 Upgrade package.. (It doesn't need the original Logic Studio 1/Logic Pro 8 DVDs.. just the Original LS1 Serial number followed by the LS2 upgrade serial number)
    Use a friend's (or any other Mac ) computer to make disk images of your Logic Studio 2 DVDs to an external HD and then install from those images...
    Once installed... then you can update using the App Store/Software Update method to the latest version for your PowerPC bearing in mind that Logic Pro 9 is now Intel Only so you can only update to a much older version these days...
    It's also worth noting that the version of Logic Pro 9 for sale on the App Store is for Intel Only Macs... so that wouldn't be of any use to you anyhow...
    Hope this helps..

  • Logic Pro Serial Issues

    Recently purchased a new macbook pro. Transferred files over using migration asssistant. Now when i start up logic pro. It asks me for the "original serial number" the one i put in is not working. How do I fix this??
    (Old Macbook was running on 10.5.8)
    (Updated from logic 8 to 9.... 2 years ago.)

    Check that you entered the number correctly, e.g. a zero and an Oh are different. Also make sure you enter the right serial number for this product, not an old one. And a last one, if everything else doesn't solve it: you might want to "google" you serial number, if it was stolen, Apple probably blocked it.

  • Bootcamp windows 8.0 pro installation issue with early 2015 Macbook Pro

    I am having this issue with installing Windows 8.0 pro (and 8.1 pro) on my early 2015 MacBook pro vs. Bootcamp. I have tried different method for  multiple times and all failed. Any help is appreciated.
    Hardware: (1) early 2015 MacBook Pro with 128GB (13 inches) , (2) Sony USB DVD burner. (3) Two 16 gb flash drive 2.0 version from two different manufactures
    Software: (1) 8.0 Pro ISO on flash drive from Microsoft (I have two copies) (2) 8.1 Pro downloaded from Microsoft website.
    Note -  I was able to download the bootcamp supporting files successfully and copy to a USB flash drive.
    Method 1 - Create the installation disk from ISO on flash drive and also tried copying ISO on hard drive (desktop)- failed.
    I have a 16 GB flash drive (2.0V) connected
    ISO is a valid 8.0 pro copy from Microsoft came on a flash drive.
    I have the windows 8.0 pro ISO on a flash drive and plugged in.
    Issue -  It gets to around 50% of "Copying Windows files..." and then doesn't go any further.  8 hours later, still stuck at around 50%.  I also tried to do the copy ISO from desktop. failed as well.
    Method 2 - I repeat the above steps with Windows 8.1 ISO downloaded Microsoft website - failed. Stuck at 50% copying windows file for 9 hours.
    Method 3 - I burned the Windows 8.0 pro ISO to a DVD and try to do the installation through a DVD instead.  DVD was successfully created.
    I was able to perform the partition.  When the computer reboots, it starts the window installation. However, it got stuck at 7% forever. I tried this multiple times and failed.
    Method 4 - I download a 8.1 Pro ISO from Microsoft website, I burned it to a DVD. Repeat method 3,  Again, windows installation stuck at 7%.
    Method 5 - I called Apple. - What they told me is pretty much repeat the above steps. Still failed.

    The ISO file(s) being downloaded seem to be corrupted. Can you use Microsoft FCIV tool - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/841290?wa=wsignin1.0 ?
    The DVDs should be burnt at the recommended rate for the physical media. DU should be used for burning the DVDs.

  • Acrobat 7 pro installation issues in windows 7

    I am trying to install acrobat 7 pro on a windows 7 machine. I followed the directions from chat to download updated program and new serial number because of activation issues. All went well until setup said I didn't have access to files in programfiles (86) such as AcroPDF.FRA. No such file. Setup shuts down and I'm back at square one. HELP!!!

    I was able to install it on Win 7, even the 64-bit version. But neither AcroTray or the Adobe PDF print driver for AA 7 works on Win 7. That means you have to use workarounds to get things done if you succeed in installing. it is time for you to probably buy a new copy.

  • Roland TD4SX, Addictive Drums 1.5 and Logic Pro 9 issues

    I have been using AD and Logic with my Roland Drum kit for a little while now and while the automatic mapping from kit to plugin is working for the most part, Logic seems to kill the midi coming from one of the pads (the middle tom 45(A2)) and I'm not sure why. It requires me to remap this pad to another midi key to get it to work. I could only assume that Logic has taken this midi key for its own use but I have no idea how to find out what it is mapped to and how to remove that mapping. Anyone know how to debug this issue?
    I believe this is an issue with Logic specifically. The reason I know this is because that pad and the kit in its default mapping work perfectly in Ableton Live but not in Logic.

    You might find that you have inadvertently 'learned' A2 as a controller assignment. Open the *Controller Assignments* window ⌘-K, and delete the learned message that is 90 39 Lo7 (A2).

  • Logic Pro 8 Issues

    Im still using logic 8 right now, and I have had it for about two years now,but I am now getting this weird "System Overload Message" and also when I load it up, I have also gotten this weird message about my "DAE Folder" is missing. Does any one know how to fix these issues.
    Thanks for your help....

    Most of the NI Instruments don't run on Leopard because NI hasn't updated the drivers for them (check the NI website fort info, they say the update is due in Decembre...). The same counts for other 3rd party plugs so either you revert to 10.4.11 or wait for the new drivers.
