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?

How to transfer Logic Studio 8 to external hard drive

Hi folks,
As I am running out of space on my internal hard drive, I would like to move Logic Studio and all associated files to an external hard drive.
Please can someone tell me - can I simply uninstall Logic and then install it on the new hard drive? Is there a limit to the amount of times you can install Logic? And if I move everything (including the Jam Pack etc. and plug-ins like VSL & Kontakt) will it affect the playback of previously saved projects?
Or is it possible to simply drag and drop all the associated files and folders into the new hard drive?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
ID

I did not say it will not work, I said it is not necessary! READ!
Argh!

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 .
So far what i erased after failure was (only the ones i could find out of this list )

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 .

Logic Studio Install Problems

Purchased Logic Studio a couple weeks ago. The first set I recieved would not install correctly and it errored out several times regardless of how I went about installing it. Contacted Apple Support and they indicated I may have a bad set of disks so I returned my set and recieved a new set yesterday. Install problems continue but now different. Orginal set woudl load a coiuple of disks then error out. This set will laod the install disk then when asked to insert the Audio Content 1 disk the computer will spin th edisk around a few times the spit it out. Tried several times and even tried inserting other content disks. I've read some of the conent here and some mention a possibel bad DVD Drive but I do no think my DVD Drive is the problem since after trying the Logic Studio set I successfully installed FrameForge.
When I attempted to install the first set of disks last week I was able to select all the options, SoundTrack Pro, Mainstage, etc. On this set my SoundTrack Pro option is grayed out and I cannot select it to load. I read here last week, when the first set would not load, to remove everything associated with Logic Studio and try again, which I did. Is it possible there are remneants remaining somewhere on my system that is disallowing the SoundTrack install this time?
My system config is:
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048MB
Software: Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
1TB Internal SATA Disk (This is the drive I am attempting to load on)
256GB Flash Storage
12TB (RAID 5 Configure to 6TB) Pegasus External
This evening I will call Apple Support again, but any advice from the audience is much appreciated.

Logic Studio install - Sound Effects option disabled

When I go to install Logic Studio, in the list of things to install the selections "Sound Effects" and "Music Beds" are greyed out and uncheckable. If I install everything I can select, it skips the discs Audio Content 1 and 2. Is there a way to get at least the Sound Effects option enabled?
(This is for Logic Studio upgrade w/ Logic Pro 9, upgrading from Logic Express 8)

So I understand correctly that you are not involved in creating music in any way? Then Logic is NOT what you are looking for. It is mainly aimed at either recording and/or composing original music, and not as a ready to select library sort of thing.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you what you should get, but maybe one of the pro guys can help you out. You'll probably find some users here who actually make the sort of content you want to use.
Logic Pro is the main program in the Logic Studio set.

Can maverick be installed on external harddrive?

I have a 2008 iMac and want to install Maverick on a partition of an external harddrive. Can this be done?

Of course. You just need to format the external drive with a GUID partition map and with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
Then, run the OS X Mavericks installer and choose the external drive to install OS X Mavericks

How to backup Logic Pro songs on external harddrive?

In case of an earthquake or other event that ends up completely ruining my computer and kills Logic Pro, how do I make a backup of the songs I've made on an external harddrive? (Sorry this question may be extremely easy to answer, but I'm new at external harddrives.)
I've bought a portable USC Drive with 120GB. Do I just need to make a copy of the Logic Pro song files and transfer them to this portable drive? Or do I need to load more information about Logic Pro onto it as well? And does my XS key have any involvement in case the my compuer is ruined and I need to extract the song from this portable drive?
Thanks for any answers!

if ur logic project are not messy u just copy the folder where are all ur logic project to ur external hardrive that's it.the logic key just need to be plug when u launch logic,otherwize the project itself can be place and copy without any problem.now take care if u use some midiinstrument (like exs)that use sample,ucould also copy the exs library in ur external hd.depend if u use the factory sample it's not a problem,as far as u crash ur mac u'll find it back on ur dvd installer,otherwize u can find the exs folder there:
library/application support/logic/ then u v got sampler instrument and exs factory sample .u can both copy it in ur external hd.
that's the quicker way (for me as im organize).
now if u don't have 200 project and u wanna be sure to get everything backing up ,just open each project and save each one as project:
file/save as project.
u click on copy all ,u choose ur external hd as the location and u click save.then it will pick up all the file u use (active or inactive) in ur arrangement and will copy it where u want..
hope it's clear.not sure

Logic Studio Install Disks - Which Hard Drive Do I Install Them In?

Hello, im getting logic pro in a few weeks and maybe an external hard drive. and was wondering out of all the applications etc and disks that come with it, which drive i should install each one on. i know that the logic sequencer should go on my internal mac drive. but what about the rest? im guessing that the samples go on my external. but what about main stage, studio effects, wave-burner? here are the full list of items if you care to help. thanks.
DVD containing Logic Pro 8, MainStage, Soundtrack Pro 2, Studio Instruments, Studio Effects, WaveBurner 1.5, Compressor 3, Impulse Response Utility, Apple Loops Utility, QuickTime 7 Pro, and required content
Six content DVDs containing Jam Pack collections, sound effects, surround music beds, EXS24 samples, and impulse response files
also i was wondering if other mac users use any sort of virus protection? i want to keep this mac as clean and free as possible. would virus protection help me or slow me down. i dont go on dodgy websites or download any thing im not sure about or file share ( limewire etc).

Don't sweat it.
It will become fairly clear when you first run the install disks - there are options during the install that will give you the choice of location.
Typically, in many cases you have no choice. The applications themselves have to go on the system disk. You can put samples, loops etc. on another drive, but without knowing what you plan on doing with Logic, or if you plan to include 3rd. party sample libraries, loops and hardware, it's hard to advise. You can always change your mind later.
If you're planning on a lot of audio recording, you'll want to save your project files to your external disk, as this helps with performance. In a perfect world, samples would go on one disk, Logic projects on another, but this might be overkill for your needs. Also, to some extent, your choice of interface will have a bearing - some are happy to share a firewire bus, some aren't. As you have a MBP you have the additional slot for expansion, but it's still something to think about.
As far as viruses go, you're pretty safe particularly as you don't surf around downloading iffy files. There are a couple of Mac malware items out there, and they're likely to increase as Mac's market share increases, but I haven't run any protection software in years with no ill effects, but I'm behind a firewall and like you, I don't download anything on to my machines without knowing the source.

After installing Leopard External Harddrives won't mount.

I have 5 EHD connected to my iMac. After I installed Leopard, none of the drive show up on the finder nor in Disk Utility. I tried resetting the PRAM but no go. I checked then drives on my iBook and they mount. I did disk repair but it said no repairs were necessary.
I check system profiler and it can't find anything in the Firewire ports. I have a firewire connected printer that is also not showing.

I can get the HDs to show up if I don't use the hub.

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.

Cant install logic studio on new macbook

I ve logic studio installed on my imac + macbook... Now i got rid of the macbook and bought new one, but cant install logic on there because the serial is not valid? Any ideas?

Correct. The current latest Version is 9.1.8

Glad you got it sorted.

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!

Logic Studio isnt showing up anywhere on my macbook pro

I just bought a macbook pro and logic, installed logic all the way and it asked me to put in the original Logic Studio Install disk, it said it was installed, ejected the disk, now i cant find it in applications or in the finder? i've just reinserted the studio install disk and it says it has 12 gb of data to install, as opposed to the original 55 gb? Whats up?

Nevermind, the installer repeated itself three times over and on the third time for some reason it worked.

Why won't Logic Studio 8 accept my Serial Number?

Hi There,
I recently purchased a new 13" macbook pro, I tried to install Logic Sudio 8 last night, but it kept telling me the serial number wasn't valid.
It's definitely the correct serial number. Why does Logic do this and how can I get it fixed?
I had Logic STudio installed on the power mac and an old macbook pro. I've since uninstalled it from the old macbook pro in order to install it on my new one.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Paul.

Check the spelling: a "Zero" is not an "Oh", and I is not a One, etc.
You might also google you serial number. Somebody might have stolen it and posted it on the internet, which Apple then blocked.
