MacBook Pro and Current Logic Pro Version

Because of Apple's secrecy with releases I bought a brand new Powerbook G4 (1.67MGHZ) about a month ago. This morning I go online and see the new MacBook Pros. Anyone have any thoughts about the worthiness of trying to snag one of these new Intel based Macbooks. I use my Powerbook and Logic Pro professionly as my main rig and need everything (Logic, Absynth, Battery, Reason, Recycle, interfaces, etc.) to work properly now and not in 6 months.
Thanks in advance,
Markoman
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Revolutionary changes in the Mac platform come along every five years or so (the switch from 68K to Power PC, the switch from System 8 and 9 to Mac OS X, etc.)
The general trend is that when the new wave arrives, it takes six months to a year for all the third-party high end esoteric applications and hardware (like audio and music equipment) to be updated to become fully compatible.
If I were you I would buckle down and get to composing and recording a lot of music with the PowerBook you just bought, and make it pay for itself. It will do today what you bought it to do a month ago, and I hope you were happy with its capabilities when you bought it.
Then think about a MacBook Pro when summer rolls around--assuming the particular tools you are fond of using are Mac on Intel-native by then.
The "early adopters" who run out to get the first MacBook Pros will undoubtedly face some frustration when some components of their music-making system aren't quite ready to run on the new hardware. This is the price that early adopters always must pay.
My general sense, though, is that the G4/G5 to Intel migration is going to go more smoothly than the one from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. It looks like Apple, Intel and the software developers got a good head start and are on top of things this time.

I recently applied software updates for Mountain Lion (10.8.1) and 9.1.8 to Logic Pro and now Logic Pro is not operating correctly. Has anyone else experienced this same problem. (Mac Pro Desktop, Mountain Lion).

Need some help.

Thanks. I added the supplemental and it looks like I may be back to normal here. I will have to fully check it out but Logic is opening up correctly and no weirdness so far.

My macbook pro is currently running on version Mac OS X 10.6.8. I need version 10.7 or above to run a particular study software. How do I obtain this upgrade?

First check that your Mac meets the System requirements for Lion...
Lion Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
See here to Buy it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Lion is a hungry beast...
You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
If in the UK... Go to http://www.crucial.com
It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
Those sites also have videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.

After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding, do anyone have any ideas what problem it can be?

After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding on certain moment, i tried to reinstall freshly and update to version 9.1.5 but problem same so at this moment version is 9.1.6. I tried 64bit too but no changes. And the thing is that i need studio and i need to sort this problem quick.
Please everybody if you had same problem give me answer or any idea what to do
Thanks

The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

My Dad gave me his old Macbook Pro and I downloaded another version of Lion so it's tied to my ID and it worked but I cannot download and iLife apps at all? It doesn't even give me a choice to purchase it just say accept?

My Dad gave me his old Macbook Pro and I downloaded another version of Lion so it's tied to my ID and it worked but I cannot download any iLife apps at all? It doesn't even give me a choice to purchase it just say accept? And gives me a dropbox that says that these apps are tied to another ID and I need to log into that ID in order to download it.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
This is a common issue with second hand Macs. The iLife apps came bundled free on this Mac and they are registered to your dad's Apple ID. The only way for you to acept them into your Apple ID is for you and your dad to contact Apple Care, explain that he has passed the Mac to you and ask that the iLife apps be released from your dad's Apple ID so that you may accept them into your Apple ID.

After Installing Logic Pro X, my Logic Pro 9's 32-bit AUs don't work. The 32-bit bridge doesn't open and run either in my Logic pro 9. My 32-bit AU plugins are crossed out. Help?

As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.

Old school, has anyone here been able to install and run Logic Pro 9.1 on a dual 1.8 G5 PPC? I know LP9 is not officialy supported on non Intel CPUs, But 9.0.0 and 9. 02 are ok on the G5 PPC as it is universal Binary, while I hear 9.1 wont work

ok thanks, that's what I tought,looks like apple machines are only good for two - three years, the software developers are ahead of the hardware to a certain point, love macs but this is forcing us to buy new macs just to keep up with development. There was a time it was the opposite.
By the time we get up on new stuff it's time to change again. Gotta be rich to deal with macs ...LOL

AMelie Eliabeth the Adobe Download Assistant can be dragged to your trash can. There is no separate uninstaller or any other application files to remove.

Can logic pro 9 read logic pro X projects?

I have Logic pro X on my macbook at home, but I have to work with projects that can be also modified and edited in Logic Pro 9 (at the studios in the University), is it possible to save projects in Logic X to be compatible to Logic 9?
Thanks for the help

No
Logic Pro X can import and convert Logic Pro 9 projects.. but not the other way around.
You can however, export tracks from Logic Pro X, as audio 'stems' and then load those in to Logic Pro 9.

Learning Logic Pro 9 - Exploring Logic Pro (Tutorial/Manual)

Logic Pro 9 - Exploring Logic Pro (Tutorial/Manual)
I worked the tutorial through to page 73. While I was working I realized that "Chuck Vox Alt " is the second take in the printed book but in "Exploring Logic Pro Demo Project" ("The Numbers Game") on the screen it is take one (so it is above and not below take 2). And "Chuck Vox TNG" (take 2) is named "Chuck Vox 2" (take 1) in the book! Because of this I can't do the second section of page 73 ("Edit the comp")!
I'm stuck here. Please help me!
Thank you!

Thanks for your answer. Sorry I'm still a beginner with Logic.
I've not spent much time yet - just read the tutorial until p. 73. This is how it looks:
I can't test it out on another sound recording because I don't have another one yet.
How can I create or import one? Thanks again!
