Logic Studio Installation on other computer problems?

I have logic studio on my macbook pro, and I bought a friend a macbook pro for christmas. I then registered it in his name.
I am at his house fairly often and as I haven't used my other installation for Logic, would like to install it on his macbook, to use logic when there.
I see you have to own the 2 computers the 2 installations are on and one has to be a laptop and one a desktop. I would like to install logic on the other laptop as I did pay for it, but am concerned about downloading it onto his hard disk and it doesn't work, either because it would be on 2 laptops or because I've registered the laptop in his name.
Does anyone know if it would work?
Should I register Logic on the 2nd laptop in my name or his(as the laptop is registered)?
Thanks in advance.

yea odd indeed.
anyway, having my hands full with getting started. This is my first time ever on Mac and Logic. but things have been so straight forward and easy up till now. (except the little installation thingy ;))
I have already recorded a little piece by my condensate Mic. and things sound pretty cool.
Now i have to get used to things and know the working my way around.
this is just damnationlike cool.
One thing that am thinking of is that when i run GR3 and start LS8 then the sound of guitar through GR3 gets rusty.
I wonder whether i should just record a file by GR3 software with all effects and sounds and then import the file into logic for close up on things.
cheers
You can open Guitar Rig IN Logic, if you have installed the AU (Audio Unit) plugin. From what I understand you use it standalone (as a separate application), but you can use it as a plugin as well. And your proposed workflow is possible, but it leaves more control if you record your guitar cleanly, and and add the effect as a plugin on the guitar track.

I'm trying to reinstall Logic Studio on a new computer after the first computer died. Previously installed it in 2009

I'm trying to reinstall Logic Studio on a new computer after the first computer died. Previously installed it in 2009

Keep getting invalid serial number?
Is it to do with the fact that it had been previously installed on my old computer?

NEW SOLUTION TO UR MISSING CONTENT OF LOGIC STUDIOS EXS24 and others...

hi folks...you're be suprise i've dunn possibly EVERYthing to ressurect the missing contents of EXS24 and other sounds thats has been gone due to installation of Logic Studio...Now for those who transfer there LP7 to the LS8 songs sumtym get no strings and blah blah blah...to limit this down for you...
heres wat to do...
go on to garageband...
create new song and click the plus button to add a new software instrument and you'll get a panel on the rightside of the GB screen with ur desired instruments you'd like to use for to create music...now go on to strings...and you'll see the highlighted outcasted string such as hollywood string and others...double click on it and it'll ask to install GB componant/jam packs and click accept and follow instructions...as its all done and dusted you got all ur preset sounds on ur new logic and everything that wasn't working from LP7 to LS8 is now sorted...and works fully like LP7...lol
and i half expected that it wudn't work i'm now literally over the moon i can continue doing my mixtape...:D

wt i wasn't clear enough is to make sure you have garageband '08 and not garageband 3 or oldies...i figure dthis out wen i did the same on my macbook coz i originally done this on my imac...and figured out the software versions wer different in order to get these missing components...make sure you have Garageband '08 in order to get the missing samplers on ur logic..i've hoped i've helped you out...:) enjoy.

I am trying to install Logic studio on my second computer and it wont accept the serial number

I already have Logic Studio on my Macbook with no problems.Now I want to install it on my Imac,but it keeps saying that my serial number is invalid.
The serial number is correct.Does anybody know why this would be happening.

First thing to check is that your entering the correct serial number and not say the product code etc, then tripple check the characters are correct like a figure one not a letter i, zero instead of letter O. Stupid I know but it's caught a dullard like me out a number of times!
There should be no reason why it wouldnt work - ive got the same Logic Pro 9 on my macbook and now new iMac.
Hope you get it sorted okay.

Why wont my Logic Studio installer fully install?

i had manually uninstalled logic studio months ago.. now that i have an external hd im installing it again but it wont install many of the other components.. they are grayed out and uncheckable (soundtrack pro, compressor, apple loops, and many more)... i need help so that i can have logic studio on my mac and the additional content on my external hd...
thanks in advance!

Although not offically supported, there is a workaround people have been using to get Logic 8 to work on Lion. All you need to do is highlight the Logic 8 app in finder, right-click, select "Show Package Contents", double click on the "Contents" folder and inside of this folder is a folder that's labled "MacOs." If you double-click on the "Logic Pro" file inside, Logic 8 will open. You might be able to make an alias of this file to cut out the other steps, but I haven't tried it.
This works for people who already had Logic 8 installed and upgraded to Lion.

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

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.

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?

8 hours to install Logic Studio?

i just bought a 2.4Ghz 15" unibody macbook pro. i also installed 4 gigs of RAM and I opted for the 250Gb 7200RPM drive.
i am now installing Logic Studio and i chose to have everything installed.
i am really surprised to see the Logic Studio installer said it will take 8 hours to install! right now, it's at 7 hours and 17 minutes.
i installed this same copy/version of Logic Studio on my Dual 2.0 G5 (that only had about 1.5Gigs of RAM) about a year ago and i remember it taking only 2 - 3 hours to install.
why is it taking much longer to install on a much faster machine?

Hahahaha... I went into 'panic mode' when I first started to install Logic. Said something like 5 hours and it was already 9 at night. It (Logic) was completely loaded by 11:15 so as I'm sure you've found by now, don't worry about what your screenshot says. Hope this helps anyone else who has yet to install the program. ~King

Final Cut Studio & Logic Studio upgrade issue

I am mainly audio based but have been working on projects more recently with Final Cut Studio 2 to deal with the video. As I use both Logic Studio 8 and Soundtrack Pro 2 a lot, and Final Cut Pro less, I plumped for the upgrade to Logic Studio which also contains STP 3 and Compressor 3.5 which seemed the right thing to do.
However the install info and dvd doesn't want you to install STP 3 or Compressor 3.5 if you have Final Cut Studio 2 as they "contain updated components that are incompatible with Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier. If the Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system, it automatically deselects the checkboxes for Soundtrack Pro and Compressor in the Custom Install pane."
Personally I didn't want to run to the expense of upgrading Final Cut as I don't use Motion, Colour or Cinema Tools and although I am working heavily in DVD Studio Pro they haven't done anything to upgrade that application (boo!)
So what's the deal? Am I unable to upgrade ST Pro to version 3 and also unable to benefit from the upgraded Compressor even though I've actually paid for an upgrade that promised me these options, and no mention until I'd opened the package that there would be any incompatibility issues with Final Cut Studio 2!
Anyone know what these 'incompatible components' are?
Sounds like sharp practice and bad product integration to me...

I just spoke with someone in Apple Reseller Channel Sales and he told me that what is shipping now is strictly the Universal version. So, if you order a Final Cut Studio Upgrade from FCP HD ($699 retail, IIRC), you will receive the FCS Universal version in the big box with all the docs.

Buying Logic Studio 9

Dear ALL,
I would like to buy Logic Studio 9, but I am not sure if ALL the updates (9.1) will need to be purchased separately...
If so, that make the price for the overall package nearly 800$...
Did I get it right?
Thanks in advance for your advice
C

Hello Ciccio, do not worry, you will not need to purchase the updates separately. The updates are for free once you have installed the original Logic Studio 9 on your computer. I have just updated to 9.1.3. Of course, whenever a new version of Logic is released (eg version 10 one day), it will very probably be a paid upgrade. All the best, Carlos.

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

Does Logic Studio have a drum machine?

I'm a noob about drum machines and how they are used, but I suppose I will need one. And I would like to know if does Logic comes with a drum machine or if I'll need to add an external drum machine. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Check out

The drum machine is called Ultrabeat. On the page and links from the above link you can see some of what is included with Logic Studio.

Problem open logic pro 7 songs made on other computer

i cant seem to load my iso that i have made on another logic - same spec logic etc..
this comes up - Damaged Song or not a Logic Pro Song! Search for fragments?
then when i click search, its aborts.
Anyone know why this problem is occuring?

thanks very much for helping me. the other computer is a new g5 desktop, with logic pro7 also installed on it.
i have made a track on the desktop in our studio, it includes samples that we have cut up, and plenty of midi controlling our outboard keyboard set up.
I just bought a new macbook the other day, installed logic. I then tried opening the logic file that i had made on the desktop. it comes up saying that the song is damaged etc. I then tried to put my autoload file that i have always used on logic, and it had the same problem, HOWEVER,for some reason this now works when i tried again.
So i am a little confused as to why i cant open the new tune. Other tunes seem to be opening, but they are from a long time ago. I need to work out why recent songs arent opening.
i will try re-saving the original song.. is there anything else that springs to mind that could be causing this?
cheers,
