Logic Studio 9 - Installation Failed - HELP!!!

Macbook Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM - 4 GB
10.6 Snow Leopard
I just purchased a brand new copy of Logic 9 and installation has failed every single time I've tried, for hours now.
Have tried installing w/ and w/out jampacks and audio content, nothing seems to work...am I doing something wrong?
Thank you so much for any help.

Hi,
You don't give much info in terms of how and when your installation failed. From what you say, though, you might have defective disks (or maybe a hardware problem), and no matter what you do, they won't work. In Denver you have an apple store? Take them and your computer in and let them try to install, and go from there.
Good luck,
Ray

  • Very Strange Logic Studio Installing Problem, please help !

    Hello .
    I wanted to install Logic Studio 9 on a brand new imac and somehow installation was failed .
    Than i erased what ever i could which was left from the failed installation .
    And now i am trying to reinstall, but this time Installation is not asking me Audio Content 1, 2 and 3
    And also after Jam Pack 1, instead of continuing to 2 and 3, is asking to put install disk , and after that point installation getting failed again .

    But what ever i tried, gives no solution . At the end a fail .
    How can i wipe out all the Logic existence from my computer to make new install ?
    Or, what is this problem i am having? As installation is not asking some discs which is necessary for the setup anymore .
    Did anyone experienced that ?
    I will be very happy if someone can assist on me this . Since 5 hours i am trying to setup this thing .
    Thanks a lot

    it is very frustrating to see such an installation problem happening from a "professional" called DAW .
    I am actually a Protools user , and i have never had this type of complications .
    I mean come on, i am just trying to install the thing .
    On a new system, on a new computer and from an original purchase .
    I believe i have enough computer knowledge to instal a simple software .
    But i am spending almost 10 hours since yesterday to install Logic .
    Instead of making designer boxes or giving fancy advertisements, i am inviting Apple Engineers to create proper working software .
    Especially to see a professional audio software like Logic in this epic fall, is very very bad .
    I mean you can say i am problematic and don't know how to instal a simple software, but than please write to google, Logic installation problems , and you will see thousands of issues .
    Whatever i am writing here not against to the people who are replying and want to help , i just want Apple to read this .
    Ah , i am sure Apple won't put attention on it , but doesn't matter .
    You just lost 1 customer for Logic
    I am erasing this thing now from my computer and continue with Protools as the way i was doing .
    Sorry if i am bitter, but this is not acceptable .

  • Access Virus KC, Logic Studio & ARP Sync - Please help!!

    Can someone please help out here.
    Im using an Access Virus KC, via an external midi channel in Logic, connect to an AMT8.
    When the I play an ARP patch iv created through the midi channel in logic, the ARP pattern doesn't play back. All I get is the single note and sometimes 3 notes of the pattern????
    Similarly, when I have the external midi track selected in the arrange page, when I play the keys on the virus, I get the same problem. However if I move the selected track in logic to an audio channel, I can strike the keys on the access and hear the arp play back perfectly.
    This may be a simple issue, however I cant seem to figure out what the problem is here.
    All advice appreciated.

    To help figure out where the problem is,
    open both your reference movie and one of your bounced audio tracks in Quicktime pro, with the audio track in front. Hit ⌘⏎. If they play in sync, the problem is happening when you re-import into FCP. If out of sync, the problem is in Logic.
    Also, the sync issue - is the audio or video playing slow, and how quickly does it fall out?

  • Got a new dell laptop. adobe flash works on IE but not with Firefox. Manual installation failed. help!

    When trying to install adobe plugin, it fails, as does trying to do it manually. When trying manually, it says to close firefox then it will work but it doesn't. Again, when under IE, adobe flash works but I prefer Firefox.

    In step one you would have downloaded that file, if Firefox is using the normal configurations you should find it in the same location where you download any other files.
    To find out where Firefox downloads files, in the options window go to the general panel and it should show where files are downloaded to. Alternatively if Firefox stores the history of downloaded files, open the downloads window (you can do that by using keyboard shortcut Control+J), right-click on the install_flash_player.exe entry in the download window and select "Open containing folder"

  • Unable to Install Logic Studio

    I am trying to install Logic Studio and am failing every time.
    I have a Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz with 1.25 mb Ram running OSX 10.4.10
    I am able to start the installation, choose the location of the install, and select which components I'd like to install. I have decided to limit the install to only Logic Pro and leave out all the other programs as my harddrive doesn't have the space.
    So according to that, only two items are checked. Logic Pro, and Apple Loops Utility under Tools. It's telling me that it requires 5.7 GB harddrive space, which I have. I click upgrade and type in my password. It installs Logic Pro, installs Logic Node, and when it tries to move on to Logic Utility (or something like that, the screen changes too quickly) it goes to 3% and gives me an error.
    Then it tells me to "please try installing again"
    I've tried installing logic node separately but it still doesn't work.
    What am I doing wrong? Normally I'm ok with computers, but i guess only on PC's. Macs are a new world to me.
    I just realized I only have Garageband 2. Is it because I don't have Garageband 8?

    Maybe this is inapropriate but I once got very lucky by just cleaning the DVD which was full of finger prints, After I cleaned it...It worked.
    Like must of us I have a lot of experience being frustrated, even the most knowlegable among us get frustrated at time.
    What I would do is proceed in a mechanical way step by step (computers hate this)
    1. Clean DVD,
    2. Seat down and read the install procedure.
    3. Disk Utility, Startup disk>Verify and Repair disk permission
    2. Trash Logic Pro 8, Sound Track Pro, Main Stage and Garage Band (Save GarageBand Files
    somewhere else if you need too)
    3. Go toFinder > Empty Trash
    4. re-install The absolute minimum (No Node dont need this yet) (Maybe you're forced to it I dont
    remember) but if you have the choice the answer is always NO
    5. Proceed slowly reading carefully all instructions.
    6. Repeat 1-5. If this dont work Maybe you have deficient DVD's it Happen (It happen to me)
    Honestly Your system seams to be bare bone minimum to run Logic Pro 8. Maybe Logic has out grow it.
    Best of luck

  • Major Logic Studio 9 Upgrade install issues

    I tried to install Logic Studio 9 upgrade today and there are a lot of problems. For one, Compressor 3.5 did not install, leaving me with 3.0.5. Quartermaster also did not update, leaving me with 3.0.5 of that as well. Soundtrack is at version 3.0.1.
    The Logic Studio 9 Installer just keeps Soundtrack and Compressor grayed out, so I can't do anything about that. I followed the instructions on the Knowledge Base article about the iLife 11 conflict, but that didn't make any difference.
    I also cannot log into the updates page on Apple's web site here (http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/download/). I have tried my Logic Studio 8 serial number and the serial number from my Logic Studio 9 Upgrade, and it just keeps telling me that they are invalid numbers. I have tried them with and without the dashes. The LS9 Upgrade installer accepted my serial numbers no problem, and I sent the registration to Apple. I'm totally baffled as to why the web page is denying me access.
    I have spent HOURS on just trying to get this software installed properly, and I have never seen such a mess. I wish I could just uninstall everything and start over but they don't even include an uninstaller. So at this point I have no clue how to get access to the support page since it's denying my serial numbers and it's not letting me update Compressor or Quartermaster (but everything else seems to have updated). It also keeps EX24 synth grayed out.
    I know this is a mess of a post but I've been trying to get this going for hours and hours and am exhausted and frustrated. Thanks for any advice.

    Ok, for some reason the Apple Support site is accepting my serial number okay, but it seems what's available as far as downloads is out of date compared to the software update tab.
    It seems my biggest problem remaining is just that I have Qmaster 3.0.5 and Compressor 3.0.5 which did not get updated to 3.5 (and then upped to 3.5.3 each with the ProApp Update 2010-02).
    I have never had Final Cut, any version, installed so it can't be that, and the iLife 11 "forget pkg" solution from the Knowledge Base didn't work. So what gives? How can I get Compressor and Quartermaster installed?

  • I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio 7 and I cannot find the serial number. It's suppose to be in one of the installation booklets. I'm not sure which one. Could you help me?

    I am trying to reinstall Logic Studio that i bought back in 2008, and I cannot find the serial number. I think I barely remember running into this problem before with this application. When i use the installation disc it tells me that the serial number is located in one of the installation booklets, and it doesn't explain to me which one. Can you help me?
    Thank You!

  • Installation failing in Logic Studio. Big Problem!

    Hello, I broke my Macbook recently and got a new one through insurance. Basically my copy of Logic was installed on the broken one and now I am installing it on the new one, I was told that you get two downloads on different systems. I tried to install Logic twice with the same disc as before and it gets quite a way through the installation and then says this installation has failed, contact support. Has anyone else had this problem, really need to make some beats.
    Thanks, Reuben.

    This is almost exactly my situation, except my MacBook Pro was stolen inside my car which was also stolen. I got the car back but no MacBook Pro. I try to install Logic Studio on my new MacBook Pro and it hangs on "Writing Files" for a while, then it gives me the "Installation Failed" prompt. Anything you find out please let me know.

  • Installation Fail on Logic Studio

    Hey all
    I recently purchased Logic Studio 9 (new user--not an upgrade) and for some reason, the installation fails a bit more than halfway through the first disk, every time. I have tried only installing one component at a time and it still fails. I tried installing it to an external hard drive, no go. My OS and the rest of my software updates are completely up to date. I also have plenty of free space on my hard drive. I'm at a loss here, and not particularly computer literate. Any ideas?
    I did call tech support in the US as I originally bought my computer there, and it's free for me to call the US from my computer (and 25p/minute for a domestic call here in the UK), but as I bought the product in the UK they wanted me to call the Cork location, which is fine, but they are apparently just going to send me a new disk anyway. Is an error with the initial disk most the most likely problem? I'd be very irritated if I waited through this stupid Royal Mail strike for another disk of my £399 product just to see the same error again.
    Thanks in advance!
    eaf7s

    Ahh that would be terrible! I called them this morning and they said that they are sending me a new disc, but it could take up to a week, which is already silly, but three weeks for such an expensive program, when it's a manufacturing error, is absolutely ludicrous. Right now I'm looking for someone else that has it but the odds of me finding someone that lives near to me, at university, with Logic Studio 9 are slim to say the least. Anyway, thanks for answering, and hopefully this works.

    im trying to install logic studio and it keeps failing

    The reason I asked is because I don't understand how you managed to install 9.1.1 on your iMac... 
    So... out of curiosity, as you didn't actually answer the question... how did you install 9.1.1 on your Mac given the DVD version is 9.0.0?
    As to your questions...
    You may install Logic Pro 9 from the Logic Studio package legally on one desktop and one laptop you own... as per the Logic Studio license terms and conditions..
    However, had you purchased Logic Pro 9 via the App store, rather than via the boxed edition of Logic Studio 2.0..   that licence, is different and allows you to install LP9 on any number of computers you own for your own private use.. using your Apple ID and the purchased tab of the Mac App Store application.
    If you feel Apple should have done a better job in notifying you about the requirements of Logic Pro 9  in reference to the 9.1.6 update being needed under Mountain Lion, why don't you contact them and tell them... via the feedback form, 
    https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html
    because Apple isn't here in any real sense..... and therefore won't read your comments or respond
    This is a User supported community... and we are all users here, trying to assist other users as and when needed... which I guess you were not aware of?

  • Logic Studios install fail - external harddrive

    Hey! i have bought my self a Logic Studio 9 at my local Apple store, and is currently trying to install the program on my Mac Book Pro (10.5.8). Since i create, store and use a lot of movies my harddisk is full and i have bought an external hard drive (iomega prestige desktop hard drive 1Tb). Since i don't have the required space available on my harddisk, i tried to install logic studios on my external harddrive.
    The problem occurred after i had completed the formation the external hard-drive demanded. When i try to install the applications on my external harddrive it, however, says: "You can not install Logic Studio on this volume. This software must be installed on the running system". My questions are therefore:
    Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Do i have to delete over 20 gb of stuff from my harddrive to be able to install the applications?
    Help will be highly appreciated, since i have spent 450 $ on these programs.

    Excellent, i now have the applications installed! thanks a lot, one question remains though.. i still can't install the additional content, when i try to use the logic studios installer to only install the content it still says ""You can not install Logic Studio on this volume. This software must be installed on the running system" so it forces me to install it on my harddrive. Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

  • Logic Studio 8 - HELP!

    Right,
    So i've upgraded to MAC OS X Lion to find out that Logic Studio 8 no longer works, so I tried to downlaod Logic Studio 9 but no serial would work.
    So I found online that a guy figured out how to open Logic Pro 8 with OS X Lion from going through some way of doing it so I uninstaled Logic 9 and have just tried to instal Logic Studio 8 again, only to find that the new operatin system doesn't even let me launch the installer anymore.
    I now have two options. To buy Logic Studio 9, or try and figure away around it.
    My friend has all Logic Studio 8 on his mac, is it possible that if I found out all the different files that Logic Pro 8 needs to function and copied them off his macbook onto mine into the correct places that Logic 8 would work??
    Please help with this, really desparate to get this back up and running as I use Logic live in my band and have a gig this saturday!
    Thanks.

    it was a long shot to get it, just think it's a joke to ask people to spend another £166 on Logic 9 just because that operating system doesnt support it, it should support all versions but hey, it's another way of making money.
    i have been looking but haven't found an answer as yet, very frustrating.
    another way i've found is to just reboot my mac bac to snow leapord factory settings, but i don't have the discs for snow leapord.

  • HELP - Logic Studio died on install..

    Got within last 2 dvds - just finished installing "Jam Pack Content 2" - when the install program asked to see "the LOGIC" disk. Time until total install was still 6 hrs out according to installer. Suspecting it flubbed and desired what the next two disks, I inserted the "Jam Pack Content 3" dvd and after spinning up, was not acknowledged by the installer. I then inserted the first dvd - "Logic Studio Install" and after spinning up, stopped the installation giving the error: "Install Failed. The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement". Having written installers in the past, I dont believe it's really flawed. The last dvd was "Demo Content" - never installed. Any clues where to go from here? the install was over 30 hours initially - do I have to do this again only to have it fail again? Is there any way to determine what "was" installed then perform a custom install for items missing?
    Seeking advice.
    Thanks..

    Still, if you are getting a kernel panic, something is wrong. Kernel panics indicate a problem on the OS or hardware level. It's totally different than if the installer simply crashes and leaves a crash report.
    As far as the amount remaining, I wouldn't worry about the installer's estimate. But, I'd definitely worry about the kernel panic.
