Logic studio 8 Lion Install

Hi everyone
I have just bought my first imac and bought Logic studio 8. The problem is it will not install as PowerPC is no longer supported.
I am a complete novice to the world of Mac. Is it possible to install this software??
Thank you in advance.

  • Logic Studio / Lion

    hi everybody,
    im using a macbook2,1, but after instaling Lion my Logic Studio 9.0.2 does not work anymore. wats maybe the reason for that ?
    thx for any halp

    You updated Mac OS, but not the other software on your computer. Logic 9.0.2 is more than 2 years old. Run "Software Update" and update it to 9.1.5 - you even get free 64-bit support in Logic.

  • Logic Studio Re-Install

    Will reinstalling Logic Studio on the same computer cause the computer/software to think that I have Logic on an extra computer? As I understand it, you can install Logic on only 2 computers. However, I want to re-install on one of those computers since not everything migrated corrected when I used Migration Assistant. Is it possible to complete a re-install and have the computer (or software) not think that I'm installing it on a 3rd computer?

    Logic looks on any networks, for a copy of Logic, and looks to see if there is an ID in "HD/Library/Application Support/Pro Apps" - if it doesn't see any other computers connected or find ID, you're good to go

  • Logic Studio not installing properly

    I'm on my 3rd time trying to install Logic Studio. It stops at the 3rd audio content disc and asks for "Please insert the "Logic Studio" disc to continue installation." Nothing I do at this point helps. My iMac G5 has Logic 7 Academic on it so I'm installing a full retail version Logic Studio. I also have iLife 5 installed. I've removed the pref list from 7, and dragged the Logic Studio icon back out of my applications folder before trying to reinstall each time. I am installing everything on my internal volume except the Jam Packs which I requested to be placed on an ext HD. Can anyone offer further advice?

    I had the same problem: one of the audio content DVDs was defective and would stall the installation.
    I installed the programs and the apple loops and called Apple Support. They sent a replacement DVD and I received it shortly after so I could install the audio content.

  • Logic Studio , Lion and a lot of 3d party plug-ins and apps....

    Guys,
    Apple released Lion but I find the information concerning the tandem Lion-Logic very sparse...
    To install Lion or not using LogicPro,that is the question...I use a lot of 3dparty plug-ins but somebody told me that with Lion-Logic Pro you can only use 64bit plug-ins....
    Anyone got some info?? Come-on Apple!!
    for the rest : Very happy with my Snow Leopard-Logic9 :-)

    Did they drop 32-bit bridge because it uses Rosetta? Or just because they felt like it?
    I'm pretty disappointed with Apple over their recent decisions (like Final Cut X). And before anyone says "but no one is forcing you to upgrade", well, I have no plans to upgrade my 30+ users - but if I need to buy a new machine for one or more of them, it will probably come with Lion pre-installed. Will it be able to run Snow Leopard? I don't know yet, but I bet the answer will soon be "no". That will be a major blow to my company, although it will likely boost the market for used machines.
    Maybe our situation is somewhat unique, but, as content creators, we are often asked to go back and revise or rework older tracks, sometimes years old. When I can't run the software instruments on those tracks (because they are 32-bit, or PPC, or whatever), then I have to recreate some or all of the tracks from scratch, and that is a huge time waster. Long after the PPC to Intel transition, I had to keep some G5's around just for this purpose. Now I will have to keep machines running Snow Leopard around, probably indefinitely.

  • Installing Logic Pro 9 upgrade on a different Mac than the one that Logic Studio 8 is installed on.

    I have Logic Studio 8 installed on an OLD Mac Mini (10.6.8).  It's not really worth the hassle to upgrade hardware (and the hardware that can be upgraded in that Mac Mini is limited).  Am I entitled to the Logic Pro 9 upgrade to install on my brand new Macbook Pro using the serial number from Logic Studio 8 on the Mac Mini?  Or do I need to purchase the full version of Logic Pro 9 to put on the Macbook Pro?  The new Macbook Pro has never had Logic Studio 8 installed on it.  (In fact it won't install because the Macbook Pro is running 10.7.2.

    You can purchase the Upgrade and install it on your New MBP...
    Just have the Serial Number from LP 8 handy for when you are asked for it...
    After the install you will need to run Software update to get the Latest version of Logic 9 for Lion..
    Or you can Download it from Here

  • What's the best way to (re)install Logic Studio? Need Help.

    I bought Logic Studio a few months ago and installed it on my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 2G Ram, 160G hard drive @ 7200 rpm. Being new to Logic, at install, I just put all 40+ gigs of content on the computer. After a while I considered putting the Apple Loops (roughly 12gigs) onto an external hard drive to save space on my computer, just to see if it would work, then consider moving more content over later. After doing this the Logic application couldn't find the Apple Loops, and I couldn't find a way to help it see the new path, so my Apple Loops were essentially rendered useless (since I had already deleted them from the computer). So I stopped right there, and haven't done anything else. Just worked with Logic without using Loops, which I have to say is still an incredible program.
    What also seemed strange was this: In moving the Apple Loops, the available disk space on the computer didn't seem to change much. It went down a few gigs, but not the 12 or so I was expecting. Not sure why that is. It seems like Logic and all the content is actually taking up around 50 gigs or so on my computer (and the Apple Loops are supposedly gone or not available). What is that about?
    Feeling like I had really fouled things up, I called Apple Care. They said that the content of Logic is stored in many places in the computer's libraries and system folders, but it was really confusing trying to locate all of it, because the info they sent was from Logic 7 and older versions of GarageBand. I guess Logic 8 is too new for them to have anything on it. There is no uninstall for Logic Studio. But they strongly recommended that I perform an Erase and Install, and then re-install all my software including Logic, and then assign the hard drive I wanted the content in. That would open up a lot of the computer's hard drive space, they said. It seemed like an extreme measure to take for such a small blunder, and I haven't tried it yet, but will if it's the best option.
    If I do this, is running Logic content (i.e. Loops, Impulse Responses, Jam Packs, etc.) from an external hard drive (and the one I have to use is 5400rpm--is that too slow or am I getting too picky?) the best way to go, or should I have all Logic material coming from the same machine? How do I get some of my hard drive space back?
    Ugh.
    Has anyone out there experienced this too? Is there anything documented about where the content is stored for Logic Studio? Is Erase and Install really the best thing to do in this situation?
    So many questions...
    Thanks.

    Hey Blue,
    Let me see if I can help you a bit.
    Logic Studio has 28+ gb of loops. Almost 23 for STP and 6 for the Jam Packs, etc. They should be located in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple (that's the default install loc.). Copy them to an external drive and then delete them from your main drive. Go to /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Indexes and delete those text files. Now go to /Library/Preferences/Soundtrack Pro and delete those text files, too (more Loop Indexes).
    Now open Logic Pro and it will say 'No Apple Loops found'. Click 'OK' and then open your Loop Browser. Drag all the Jam Pack folders, STP folder, etc. that you want to use onto the Loop Browser. Logic will ask you if you want to 'Copy to Loops Folder' or 'Current Location'. Choose 'Current Location'. Logic will now index the loop folders.
    NOTE: You can change the names of the folders to suit your liking. For example: I added the 2, 3, 4, 5 after the Jam Pack names to make it look smoother on the popup menu and changed iLife Sound Effects to Sound Effects - iLife and Apple Loops for STP to STP. Now the Jam Packs 1-5 come up first on the popup menu and the FX stay at the bottom. I likee!!
    Now, if you like you can take your EXS Factory Samples and Ultrabeat Samples, 3.35 & .889 gb respectively, and copy them to an external drive. I have mine in the same place as my Jam Packs, etc. You can find these files in /Library/Application Support/Logic. Toss out the originals and put ALIASES from the external drive back into the /Lib/App Sup/Logic folder.
    Also, if you open STP and click the Search tab in the right pane you will see a button that says 'Setup' next to it. Click that and you can use the checkboxes in the window to activate/deactivate any of the loop folders available.
    A clean install is the best IMO if you have a little time because a) you DO NOT have to install GB at all (that saves the .aif file size - Logic Studio uses .caf files at half the size of the originals) b) Logic Studio will install the extra GB or Logic 7 content if you need it at it's reduced size. It will basically get rid of all the old clutter that you do not need. Only install what JP's you want and move the bigger stuff to an external.
    Rock up Logic and it should all be in place. That procedure saved me 32.5 gb on my main drive.
    NOTE #2: You have another 12 gb (if you installed all Jam Packs) that reside in the /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler. These are the Jam Pack Instruments & Sampler files for World, Symphony, etc. They cannot be moved from the startup HD (as far as I can tell). So keep that in mind if you don't want a certain JP.
    Hope that helps,
    Dave

  • Need 2 install Logic Studio 9 Audio content & Jam Packs?

    Have Logic Studio 9: didn't have enough space to download extras originally (i.e., Audio Content & Jam Packs).  Have now upgraded to 500 Gb HD for 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and have tried to install Logic Studio again (The logic Pro; Logic Node; MainStage; and WaveBurner seem to have installed OK - at least they show up in Applications folder)  When it comes to installing Studio Content the Studio Content disk install process gets hung up at the end of the downloading. A message window pops up saying: The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.  The Logic Studio software is registered to me and has a Support ID: I6941D2H41H.  It is frustratingly difficult to find anywhere that I can contact tech support related to this Logic Studio issue.  I would simply like to be able to get the included Audio Content and the Jam Packs from the Logic Studio Suite installed on my MacBook Pro.  I would appreciate some response and help to be able to get the application data so that I can fully install the whole Apple Logic Studio program ASAP.  A further suggestion is that a means of contacting support for such related issues be instituted.  Anyone know how to get the corrupted Audio Content & Jam Packs for downloading?

    Firstly you are Not addressing Apple here... This is a User to User Forum...
    That said... Give Apple Care a Call... Tell them you are a Logic Pro User and you should be transferred to a Logic Expert...
    Explain your situation to them...
    Make sure you have your Serial Number and Date of Purchase handy...

  • Logic Studio 9 upgrade won't work with my Studio 8 retail key

    I recently bought a new Mac mini with Logic Studio 9 upgrade as I already own a retail box of Logic Studio 8. I just tried installing Studio 9 after a clean install of OS X 10.6.1 and it tells me my key is invalid, so I install Logic Studio 8 before trying again (which accepts the key and works fine) but the Studio 9 install still won't accept it. Has anyone else had this problem and who do I contact about getting this fixed?

    it might ask you for the serial number of LP8(Logic Studio ) before installing LP9 (Logic Studio 2).
    Could it be that it asks for that and you put the serial of LP9 there>?
    Else call 0844 209 0611 it's £0.05p per minute when you call from a landline, the response is fast.

  • Logic Studio 9 & Logic Pro X?

    I unfortunately wiped clean my MBP HD when I updated my iPhone5 to OS7. It's my inadvertent mistake, nothing to do with the OS.
    Of course I've lost all the files also.
    After re-installing Logic Pro X, I noticed I didn't seem to have as many software instruments as I had before.
    That's when I realized I didn't have Logic Studio 9 installed (from the CD package)...which I had previously purchased from the online Apple store.
    My question is; now that Logic Pro X is installed, can I go ahead and re-install the Logic Studio 9 or do I have to uninstall Logic Pro X first and then re-install Pro X.
    I hope you can help me
    Thank you

    Hey Josh,
    Got your message on SC but thought it would be more useful to respond here...
    It says that the volume "Lexar 1" couldn't be mounted. It then asks me to mount the volume and try opening the document. How do I do so?
    That means that at some point in the past you had a device named Lexar 1 (Maybe either an external HD or a Memory Card, given it's name?) connected to your system that was utilized by the project, that is no longer connected....
    To get around this.. I would suggest using the Selective Track Import feature (STI) to import each track, one at a time..  from this project into a new project.. This will help you identify what is actually missing that was on that Lexar 1 drive.... and create a new project you can work with..
    Here is a tutorial on using STI. Its for LP9 but STI works much the same way in LPX...

  • I have an upgrade version of logic studio (9.1.1.) which I want to run on an imac with 10.7.4 osx Lion and after a seemingly successful install it's telling me that this version of logic studio isn't supported by my osx...Can someone help me with this?

    I also want to add that I've found the updates to logic pro 9.1.2 thru 9.1.7. and when I download them they tell me they are either not needed or don't seem to actually update anything.  Someone was saying that Logic Studio isn't a fan of Lion and I should install Snow Leopard, complete Logic updates and then re-install Lion.  PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • TS2565 Help me install Logic Studio Pro on OS Lion 10.7.3

    I am having an issue installing Logic Studio.  I have Lion 10.7.3 and when I click on the Logic Pro icon it says that you can not run on this OS.  It says Logic Pro is 9.1.1  I tried updating to 9.1.7 but then it says I need Logic 9.0 or higher.  Help!!!

    I also have this same problem. Can't install either Logic or FCP7 onto my Lion systems. I tried running under 32bit mode and the same luck. The problem with this is that it works when the software has been installed before the Lion os X upgrade, however if you make do a clean install of Lion then both Logic and FCP7 hang after putting in the serial number.... WHAT A PAIN as now I can't use either products!!!!

  • How can A new Logic Studio (9.1.1) not be compatible with Lion?!

    ***! first Lion makes my 11 Rack's software inopperable, and now I finally got Logic Studio and it says I can't use Logic Pro because it's version 9.1.1. I was already having trouble, and after an our with apple phone support and a few more installing the software it says the install was a success, but then underneath it reads an error occurred and it failed. I never realized how confusing (and confused) Apple can be. Why have an app on a DAW called Compressor, yet having nothing to do with actual audio compressors, What the **** is it ?!! Is it a Logic Studio or a Logic Pro?!! The box only says Studio, what version depends on how knowledgible the salesperson is.There's no way to tell otherwise except by the price. So why then does the app say Logic Pro, which by the way, is the only app (apparently) outdated. All the other apps of the Logic Studio suite bundle have no problems being openend. But as if this isn't confusing enough, check this out:
           I barely had my brand spankin' new MacBook Pro (15') three months, and it never let me down, even when some supposed tech suggests I take it in for a look because of their personal lack of resourcefulness. In other words, if they can't figure it out then it must be my computer. This has happened to me atleast five times already on seperate occasions, and how many of those times was it actually necessary - count 'em - ZERO! It took me a few seconds to figure it out myself after hanging up, and this is my first computer. But I'm getting off course, let me reiterate:
          It says on page 11 of the installation manual "Important:Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5...will be deselected if Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system" (due to incompatibility issues - what else is new). So my first mistake was calling Apple support, and incidentally, even though I payed extra for a three year support contract at the time of my purchasing my Mac, Logic Studio is only covered for 90 days (I wonder why). I called because of all the items checked for installation, Compressor was grayed out. Turns out that the apps in question don't get along with the iLife '11 Suite, WHAT!!! Avid (Pro Tools, Eleven Rack, etc.) and Apple is one thing. They're competitors, so I wouldn't be surprised the sudden incompatibiliy issues with Lion and 11 Rack was no accident (just like M-Audio's Axiom Pro, also owned by Avid, working best with Pro tools is niether a coincidence) but now I feel I'm giving their resourcefulness too much credit, because now I stand dumbfounded at how a flag-ship Apple product has discrepencies with another flag ship Apple product...wait, what? Did they forget when comprising the new Lion OS, that they were also a leader in Audio Software?
          Anyway, I was sent an email with these directions: 1. From the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
                                                                                    2. Open the Terminal application from the Utilities folder.
                                                                                     3. Enter the following case-sensative command exactly as it appears:
                                                                                        sudo pkgutil --forget con.apple.pkg.AppleintermediateCodec
                                                                                    4. Enter an administrative password when prompted.
                                                                                    5. Install compressor from the Logic Studio installer.
                                                                                     6. From the Apple menu choose Software Update.
                                                                                     7. Install any available updates.
        Anyway we never made it past #4. The prompt by the way (omitted in the diections) is a solid standing rectangle at the end, as opposed to an empty one, but we're just supposed to magically know this is the prompt. I start typing (after being told to press return - also omitted above) and no letters transpire. The tech then suggests we try it again, even though I followed his suggestion of copy & pasting. We did, same thing, so he then suggests he needs to view my computer, as if I was the one malfunctioning. But that was another issue altogether (which I care not to repeat), and eventually he just gave up and suggested I speak to a "higher-up" specialist, but not before he admitted there was something he overlooked and that he's sorry, this after wasting over an hour of my time, and also after - now get this - he suggested I take my machine in since it would be easier, yea, easier for him, how about the time & effort already wasted.
        This new tech says, that the password is not supposed to show when I type it in, What?! Now this is the real kicker, this time it did appear. So really all they were doing was creating even more unexplainable anomolies. We presumed it did the trick, even though "Compressor" was still grayed out in the list. He told me why, which I didn't care to understand, and as long as it says install next to it that I'll be ok. I then told him, this is exactly how it looked before I even made the call in the first place (hence why I said that was my first mistake), but he was right since Compressor well and present, however *** is up with Logic Pro! Please, anybody, save me from having to call Apple Support again (not that it helps) these are geeks not musicians.

    Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
         By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.
