New intel chips, and Logic Pro 7

How well does logic pro 7 run on the new intel chip sets?

According to users on the Logic forum here, Logic Pro 7.2 and above (the Universal Binary release of Logic) works very well on Intel Mac. Anything below 7.2 is PowerPC only, and will work very poorly on an Intel Mac, if it works at all.

Updgrade to the new Intel chip

I ordered my IMac G5 on November 30th. and received it on December 7th.
When less than a month later I saw the new intel chip and ILife version I got angry to Apple customer service for not telling me about this change.
Is there anything I can do to upgrade my Mac?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian;
When you ordered the iMac G5 you had certain plans for it. With the announcement of the Intel iMac, what is your iMac G5 not doing for you now?
Or is this more a matter of envy, you iMac G5 is no longer the newest thing?
If you most have the latest and greatest, you can always sell it on eBay and order the new Intel iMac.
It is your call but if it is doing what you bought it to do, I personally would ignore the fact that is the latest and greatest and just use it.

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

New mac and logic pro 9

Last week my old G5 died and I,m looking at getting a new mac and logic pro 9.
My G5 had logic pro 7 and 8 installed on it. I was wondering do I need to install
those back on my new mac so I can upgrade to logic 9 or could I just install logic 9 on my new computer. I have the key that came with logic 7 and that's what I used to install logic 8 with. I really don't want to put those on my new computer. Also will logic 9 load my logic 8 songs.
Thanks for your help,
Chuck Floyd

No.

Yes.

Why not? You could install just the apps, they do not take much space and you know for sure you can always open your old projects.
Also will logic 9 load my logic 8 songs.
In principle, yes. But it can vary, depending on what you use(d) in those L8 projects (environment alterations, 3rd party plugins etc etc). If they won't load, use L8. I'ld advise you to install both L7 and L8, just in case. Just skip the samplecontent etc on both installs, do only the apps themselves.

HT4561 I have an iMac (2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) and recently updated to OSX10.6.8. At first things worked as before, but suddenly a bunch of applications are not working; including videos wont play in any browser, plus Skype and Logic Pro won't work

Recently updated to osx10.6.8. Was fine at first, but now have problems with various applications freezing/hanging.
These include Skype and Logic Pro.
In addition, cannot play videos (including YouTube and BBC) on Firefox (my usual browser), Safari or Chrome.
Application becomes frozen, and I eventually get an 'unresponsive script' message.
With Firefox I have tried clearing the cache. My Flash is upto date.
These are all the apps I use everyday, and this is driving me crazy. Can't seem to find answers on line. Very grateful for any help or advice.

Please download this app ... etrecheck, run it, copy or paste the results and post them back to us here.
From that we may be able to see more background to your problem. Be assured, it is safe.

New Intel Chip Compatibility & Dual Boot

Hi folks,
Just heard about Apple's new Intel chip compatibility and had a quick question. I develop software on the Windows platform primarily but would love to be able to run the Mac OS for testing of web browser-related stuff plus the BSD-related stuff on the same computer.
Can this new O/S be installed as one boot partition of a dual/multi-boot computer? If so would you be kind enough to point me to the appropriate URLs?
Thanks!
Best,
DD
Windows XP Pro

PowerPC Macs can run a Microsoft application called Virtual PC that allows you to install and run Windows on a Mac. VPC emulates a PC, so it's fairly slow, but it's fine for doing things like checking websites for compatibility in Windows IE, etc. That's primarily what I use it for.
The new Intel Macs can't run Virtual PC (yet anyway), nor can they currently boot Windows, although supposedly that will change when Windows Vista comes out. Also, Microsoft is reportedly planning to release a version of Virtual PC that will run on the Intel Macs, and that should provide near native speed for Windows inside of Mac OS X.
As for running OS X on a PC, you can't.
This page is free and lets you check your website for compatibility with Safari, the default web browser on Macs: http://snugtech.com/en/safaritest/ I've never used it, but it seemed like it might be useful to you.

Running a dos program on the new intel chip

I have a dos program that I need to be able to run on the new intel chip.
Is there a safe and reliable way to do it?
thanks

Thanks for your reply.
Have you used parallels for dos?
I am considering getting the new mac book but want to make sure that it will run the dos program.
thanks

Can you run Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro X on the same machine?

Hello all!
Congratulations to us on the release of the new Logic Pro!
I am still running Logic Pro 8 (and was waiting for X to come out since I knew it wasn't too far off) but am concerned over the loss of 32-bit plug-ins with Logic Pro X (the wrapping of my old VST plug-ins alone hurts!). I've heard that installing Logic Pro X doesn't in any way gimp Logic Pro 9's usage, but can someone confirm whether or not Logic Pro X and Logic Pro 8 can operate in harmony on the same Mac?
As a bonus, is there any reason to believe that Apple would disable earlier versions of Logic Pro (such as version 8) from running on Mavericks?
I am planning my Logic Pro and Mac OS migrations! Thanks!!

2012 MacBook Air running Photoshop and Logic Pro

Looking to buy a laptop. The most I do with my current iMac is record music using logic pro, edit video in iMovie and edit photos in photoshop.
I'm planning on travelling for a decent length of time and would like to continue to do this on a laptop.
The weight and SSD of the macbook air are really appealing to me. I'm wondering if it will be able to perform the above tasks? I read some reviews of people using photoshop on a 2011 macbook air with no issues, and from what I understand, the cheapest 2012 macbook air 13' is faster then the ultimate macbook air of 2011?
So I'm considering purchasing a 2012 MacBook air 13' with the 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and upgrading the RAM from 4gb to 8gb.
Will this be able to meet my needs? I say I will be editing photos and recording music with it, but I'm still really amateur and I'm sure my needs are also.

Thanks for the reply DWB,
USB should be fine as far as I can see. Is there a firewire adaptor just in case?
I was planning on keeping an external drive, and if I wanted to edit any substantial amount of footage, transfer it from the external drive to the MBA hardrive then just edit it from there.
The main thing I'm wondering about is wheter or not the applications photoshop CS6, imovie (maybe even final cut pro?) and logic pro will run smoothly on a 2012 13-inch 1.8GHv i5 macbook air with 8gb ram.

Logic7.2 , Intel Chip and the Emagic a62m A/D Card

Hello: Before I install the Driver for Emagic's External USB Analog/Digital Card, Model "a62m", does anybody know how well it's working with Logic7.2 and the new Intel Chip ? Thanx, MLR ... ps ... The Driver and others can be Downloaded at http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/emagic/DriverFiles/OS%20X%20Drivers/

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

New Intel chips

Hi
I want to upgrade my 12" Powerbook to a MBP. However I keep hearing comments (rumours) about the new Intel chips. Can someone please explain:
1. What the chip is?
2. What difference will it make to the current MBP confguration?
3. When is it likely to appear?
4. Should I buy now or really wait for the new chips?
Thanks.

However I keep hearing comments (rumors) about the new
Intel chips. Can someone please explain:
I'm assuming you know that MBPs already use Intel chips and that you are referring to the Merom. Speculation is good in preparing us for what is to come, but there has been no official word on anything. In fact, there has been no unofficial word either. The fact, however, is that and a couple of Windows based laptop manufacturers have already announced the use of the Merom in their premier laptop computers. Apple is usually the leader of the pack, and unless they plan on taking a completely different route and surprising us once again, they should not be very far behind. Some speculate end of September.
1. What the chip is?
As far as I know it is the Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom). In brief, it's just better and faster. I'm sure someone else can give the specifics.
2. What difference will it make to the current MBP configuration?
Since there is no official or unofficial word on this, there is no way we can speculate as tot he MBP's setup.
3. When is it likely to appear?
Speculation lends to late September, but nothing official or unofficial.
4. Should I buy now or really wait for the new chips?
If it is not business-critical, I would absolutely wait.

M-Audio Fast Track USB and Logic Pro X

I wanted to share this tip in case anyone else has the same issue I had.
I attempted to use the Fast Track USB audio interface with Logic Pro X. It had worked in every version of Garageband since version 3, as well as older versions of Logic Express and Logic Pro, so I assumed it would work out of the box with Logic Pro X.
With it plugged in correctly, and my guitar connected to it, I added a new audio track to my project - ensuring the Fast Track was set as the input device, and input 2 was selected (input 1 is the XLR input on the device) - and enabled playback monitoring. There was no sound. Additionally, the button to enable recording was not present for the track. The same was true for every new track I added that used the Fast Track as the input device.
I tried everything: in Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio > Devices, I toggled between the built-in input and the Fast Track; I restarted the software; I unplugged and plugged in the Fast Track, and I restarted the system. None of these worked. Then I had an idea.
In the Applications > Utilities folder on my Mac, I opened the Audio MIDI Setup app. This opened the Audio Devices window. I clicked on the plus at the bottom left and chose to Create Aggregate Device. I named this device by double-clicking the name on the left, then on the right I checked Built-in Input and Fast Track, taking note of which inputs belonged to the Fast Track in this new device (for me, inputs 3 and 4).
After restarting Logic Pro X, I chose this new aggregate device as my input device, chose input 4 for recording, and suddenly everything worked correctly.

I contacted Logic Pro X support and they said that they are working on an update. They were very helpful, so no worries guys. They know that there is an issue and they are working on it A.S.A.P. They told me if I needed to continue production to use time machine and go back before the update and restore Logic Pro X (before 10.0.5).
They understand, so give them a break... They are working as fast and hard as they can. I talked with one of the programmers directily. They are probably not getting any sleep over this.

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion. Use the program Pacifist to install it.
