New Macbook Pro, OSX 10.4.6, Logic 7.0.1, NI Komplete 3 (with updates)

Okay, the subject line is too long for this one but its meant to outline what I am looking at having very soon and am wondering what problems I am going to see before I dive in. I went ahead and got all the updates for everything I currently have software wise. Basically, I just need to get the Macbook and install everything.
Anyone have any idea what is going to work in this set up and what isn't? What is the "Rosetta" environment on the new Mac Intels? I have read that Logic 7.1 will not work at all under it. I need to know I will have a functional studio before I make this investment.
How many plug-ins are crashing/not working on the new Mac Intel machines?
I do everything with software so this is extremely important to me.
Thanks for any help.

I heard a while ago that EastWest was in the process of developing their own sample player due to all the issues they were having with NI and their Kompakt player. There wasn't any word on when it was supposed to be done, though. You'd think NI would wake up and smell the coffee, but they seem to be content providing subpar players that sometimes play back really good sounds. I remember reading the Kontakt forums over there and the representative from NI that was addressing all the issues with Kontakt was always combative about things and always extremely defensive whenever a bug was brought up. Lots of empty promises, at least from the Kontakt team over there for well over a year, which is exactly why I never purchased it.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • New Macbook Pro/OSX 10.9.1 cursor jumping - how do I fix?

    I purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina with OSX 10.9.1 over the holidays. The cursor keeps jumping. My trackpad is on the 2nd to slowest speed and only has tap to click enabled. Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    At least i'd like to try to reinstall OSX to the same HDD. It seems to be a software problem that occured after a check-up with DiscHelp (idk the specific term in english because I use the dutch version). While 'repairing' an error, a notification came up that said that it couldn't be repaired and that I had to back-up all of my files and reformat the HDD. Since then, if i try to boot up the system, the screen goes black in about 30 seconds.
    The only backup I have is the direct copy I made booting up the MBP while pressing 'T' (while connected to another mac using a thunderbolt cable). So now I have a copy of the whole HDD. I tried to find the hidden ~library but i couldn't find it. In this library there are certain files i need to transfer the profile of my email. So yeah it's still readable, but as an external HDD, unfortunately not as a computer.
    I really hope you can help me!

  • Where to find desktop software for Tungsten E to download on new Macbook Pro OSX

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    You may need to do a clean uninstall but I would try a simple uninstall and reinstall of Palm software on your PC first. Be sure your device is disconnected from your computer for this process. Open your Control Panel on your PC and then go to Add/ Remove Programs. Remove the Palm (or PalmOne software). Once that is done go to http://www.palm.com/us/support/palmdesktop.html to download and install Palm Desktop.
    Hopefully this resolves the issue but if it doesn't let me know. Also, contact me if you have any further questions or concerns about anything.

  • Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.4: a key (or Return) sometimes repeats endlessly, with a plunking sound. No Option but to shut down ASAP.

    Repeating key(s)

    Hello suzannefromkatsushika-ku,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the troubleshooting below for troubleshooting issues with keys on your keyboard:
    Some keys don't work as expected
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Speech.
    Click the Text to Speech tab.
    If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Click the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then click the Keyboard tab.
    Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
    If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
    Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
    Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
    Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working.  If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly.  Use How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

    At some point in the near future, I plan on buying one of the new MacBook Pros (non-retina display).  I currently have the mid-2009 model, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15-inch, 4 GB of RAM.  Not this is terrible, but I would like to take advantage of the increased processing power with newer MacBook Pros because I constantly use Logic Pro for many different projects. 
    My question is, how do I make a smooth transition from one piece of hardware to the next?  For many of the audio files and such that make up all of the different instruments in Logic Pro, I'm not even completely sure where they are all installed.  Some files are in one directory, some are in others.  Not to mention plug-ins and things of that nature.  Any advice?

  • Urgent-logic serial number won't work on new MacBook Pro

    Just purchased a new MacBook Pro & did Migration Assistant. Logic now asks for my serial number, I punch it in and get a Invalid Serial Number dialog box. Whats up with this, my Logic Studio package is 2 years old and correct. Help!

    HI, I had logic pro support on the telepone, and he said I had reversed the last two letters,I am not normally dyslecsic but he saved me because he was using shared screen,a fine thing at times like that.
    This is almost a year ago, I hope you got it working!

  • Can't reinstall Snow Leopard on new MacBook Pro

    I had a old Macbook pro running Snow Leopard that died. I used Time Machine to restore to my brand new MacBook Pro. I decided to do an Archive and Install to start with a fresh system even though the new machine is working fine. The install disk is an early Snow Leopard release which loads fine, but when I run the install or try to restart from it, I get the Apple icon, but it never shifts to the installation process (nor can I check with Disk Utiity). Any suggestions?

    There is no Archive & Install option for Snow Leopard. Instead, its installer offers a single "no brainer" option that replaces the existing OS (if there is one) with a fresh copy of Snow Leopard & leaves your existing user settings, documents, etc. untouched (if there are any). You can think of it sort of like doing an Archive & Install with an automatic reintegration of your user stuff from the archive, except that there is no archive & no Previous System folder full of now useless junk that you can't use with the new OS anyway. It automatically moves some known-incompatible software to an "Incompatible Software" folder (go figure!) at the root of the HD, automatically installs or skips certain items depending what is already on the HD (if there is anything on it to begin with), & does several other things that the old installer was too dumb to be able to do without a lot of tedious human help.
    If you want to do an erase & install (which isn't usually necessary or desirable if you want to take advantage of all the advanced features of the new installer) you can do that too, but you must take the extra step of going to the Utilities menu, choosing Disk Utility from it, & using its Erase function to erase the volume before installing Snow Leopard on it.
    Basically, it is as close to a "one button" installer as Apple can make it & far more sophisticated than any previous installer.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)

  • Transferring from old PowerBook to new MacBook Pro

    I have ordered a new Macbook Pro and was looking for guidance on bringing it up to date with my old PowerBook with Tiger as easy as possible.
    I was wondering if I could just move my total Users Folder from the PB to the new computer?
    Are there items in this Tiger Users folder that would not work in the new Leopard Intel computer and should not be moved?

  • Does anyone know how to install drivers etc for Epson SX435W on new Macbook Pro?

    Hi
    Just purchased new MacBook Pro (OS 10.9) but not sure how to make it work with my Epson SX435W printer. I went to the Epson website to download drivers, they download but when I click on them it says 'cannot be opened because it is an unidentified developer'?!?
    Any advice?
    Apologies if this is simple, I'm not exactly technically literate :-(

  • New MacBook Pro seeks Leopard

    I have just collected a new MacBook Pro via an authorized reseller in the UK but it has come with Tiger installed, not Leopard. Should new macs now come with leopard or can I claim a rebate somehow if I buy it off the shelve?

    Elbiggus,thanks for your help. After 20mins waiting on the phone I finally got a web site address to sort the problem! For reference in the UK it is http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/uptodate/

  • Why is my new Macbook pro not reading my iphone 3GS device but my Windows desktop does not seem to have this problem?

    Whenever I plug my iphone 3GS into my windows PC I have no problem syncing and backing up my apps etc but whenever I plug it into my new macbook pro, it simply cannot read my device at all and everything is fully updated. Help please. Thank you

    I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
    If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
    Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):
