Snow leopard and logic 8 question

Hi
i know this question has been asked before but id like an up-dated answer so here goes.....L8 and snow leopard????? how is it together??? any major issues i should know about??
iv tried out L9 a few times and i like what i have seen although the problems i see on this site worry me a little so il wait a little longer.
For now, il start with upgrading to snow leopard using L8 so therefor my question.
Also, some instruments and plug-ins id especially like to know if o.k are Kontakt and Battery 3, EXS24, Ozone 4... iv seen spectrasonics put out updates for their instruments so i assume that those will be good.
O.K
thanks for any help.

I am using LP8 and SL together, no issues that I've run into.

  • Snow Leopard and iLife 09 Question

    Hello,
    I apologize that this may be an extremely naive question.
    I have Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife 08. I was planning on upgrading to iLife 09. My naive question is this.
    Would it be advantageous to wait until Snow Leopard comes out and upgrade everything then? I want to do the most economical move - so if waiting and upgrading later in the year (maybe) and get both, or because one is a OS and one is application it doesn't really matter so just upgrade now with iLife 09 and then upgrade the OS later whenever it may happen.
    I apologize if that question is not even correct. Please correct me though so I know better!!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    in my opinion the only reason for waiting that would make sense, is when you're planning to buy a new Mac after Snow Leopard's release. That's because you always get the latest versions of OS X and iLife included with the Mac. If that is not the case, then you can get iLife '09 now, later or never depending on your need for it. If you like to have the new features then why not get it now. If they're not important for you, that's ok too.

  • Snow Leopard and Final Cut question.

    What happens to all my FCP projects when I install Snow Leopard onto my 24" iMac. I know that's probably not a very educated question, but I'm wondering if anything changes in my FCP projects and settings after I make the upgrade. Also do I need to unistall Leopard, or is that taken care of simultaneously durning the addition of Snow L?
    Thank you,
    Trey

    Nothing. They will continue to work as usual.

    If you bought the $29 upgrade of SL, it requires that Leo is present. Installing as an upgrade replaces older operating system components and essential software. It does not touch add ons like FCS, iWork, Office etc.
    If you bought the SL box set, you can erase the drive and install eveything fresh.
    As with any update or upgrade, make sure that your irreplaceable files are backed up first.

  • Snow Leopard and Adobe Flash Question

    I'm aware that SL downgraded my version of flash to the previous one . I had recently downloaded the current version a few days before I installed SL so I did recognize the downgrade. But I've read that some people are having problems when they went back and re-downloaded the current version. So should I get the current version or just leave it as it is?
    John

    are you able to play any videos posted in youtube?if you do. Then its not an SL problem. I tried the link that you posted and indeed it does not play. but i have a lot of websites that requires flash:
    youtube.com
    mini-clip.com
    facebook.com
    if its a problem with Snow leopard then I wouldn't be able to browse these websites. Isolate it one by one. It may be a content issue. and NOT SL nor FlashPlayer
    Tried it on firefox 3.5 and it works there but not safari. It maybe because the content is not compatible with Safari.

  • Snow Leopard and Screen sharing question

    I followed the information in this article to use screen sharing between 2 SL computers and I can make the basic SS work.  However, two items from this article don't function as described.  It is an older article and I'm asking to see how it still applies to Snow Leopard users.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/131094/2007/12/screensharepower.html
    One item that doesn't seem to work is Bonjour Browser window.  Launching screen share doesn't automatically launch Bonjour Browser.  This is a small incovenience but it means I launch BB manually then cut and paste a device address from BB to SS.
    The second item is the terminal command to add additional items to the basic SS toolbar such as the button to capture the remote screen to a local file.  I've tried it but the additional buttons don't appear.  Are their other commans I could use to locally capture a screenshot from the remote machine to my computer?
    Are either of these features compatible in Snow Leopard?  If yes, how could I trouble shoot my setup to find out why an item isn't functining as described.
    Thanks!

    What did you do to make it work?
    In my setup, I am facing pretty much all the issues I saw on the forum around screen sharing. So from a Snow Leopard iMAC:
    1. I can't even get the black remote screen when trying to get access to another iMAC 10.6.1 system. In most of the case the connecting window stays on for about 1 min and than closes; the screen sharing application shows nothing connected. Once or twice I got a black remote screen and once I think it did work well. Tens of times it just did not connect. Console messages show errors with NetAuthAgent (even that file sharing and screen sharing are enabled on the remote Snow Leopard system and the file sharing was fine but connection is slower than with leopard).
    2. I can connect to a Leopard system but takes almost a minute to connect. I can access Leopard regardless of the screen sharing options and I never get a black remote screen.
    All systems are in a LAN. Before Snow Leopard upgrade the screen sharing connection was instant on all systems.

  • Snow Leopard and Time Machine question

    Running on snow leopard, trying back up files in order to upgrade OS using an external hard drive and time machine. Previously said "don't use" on accident with this hard drive; any way to reverse this?

    Hello cinstar,
    The following article provides steps for setting up Time Machine. The process of choosing a drive should not omit any drives that have been previously 'ignored' when first connected.

  • Snow Leopard and Help menus (particularly Logic Pro)

    Not sure if this is snow leopard or Logic Pro issue. Logic 9 using snow leopard, when I go to the help menu I get -" The Help Library requires JavaScript. If JavaScript is not enabled, you will not be able to view all the content."
    However, the help menu in every other "Apple" app (pages, numbers, keynote, Garageband, etc) works just fine - as does Bento..... etc..
    Can't find a "javascript" preference in Logic Pro - enabled in ALL browsers!
    Help!

    Someone had sent me a terminal command that brought the help windows back and it worked great - but it seems that the solution was pulled from this discussion - and I don't know why - and don't remember what I typed into the terminal - sorry!
    But it did work!!!

  • I updated from os 10.5 to snow leopard and my logic 8 crashes upon opening.  Does anyone know any fixes? thanks

    I updated from os 10.5 to snow leopard and my logic 8 crashes upon opening.  Does anyone know any fixes? thanks

    Logic 8 should have no problems in SL.
    Use Software update to check if you've got the latest update for it (SU will only offer an update if it's not already installed).
    Failing that, I'd start by uninstalling Logic and re-install from the DVD in case something got corrupted during the update.

  • XServe with Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion Clients

    Okay, bare with me, as I'm fairly new to the whole Mac Server world. I have learned a whole lot over the last year and I've been able to completely manage our 60 Snow Leopard Clients on our XServe.
    Last year, I came into an existing setup with ~60 clients running Snow Leopard and an XServe running on Snow Leopard. We utilize Server Admin and Workgroup Manager to manage our user accounts and our clients. We have over 300 users and utilize Portable Home Folders with our accounts.
    Over the last year, I've learned a whole lot about managing the system that is already setup. I've made quite a few preferences and file structure changes utilizing Server Admin and Workgroup Manager. After getting new hard drives in three machines, I learned how to re-image them and get them set back up with our Workgroup Manager. I learn things pretty quickly and have a pretty high technology aptitude.
    So, here is the predictament I'm in now...our county just purchased 31 new Macs to add to our network. These are running Mountain Lion.
    I have a few questions, and I'm not exactly sure where this post should have been. I think the major questions/issues I face right now include:
    Will I be able to manage the Mountain Lion clients utilizing our existing server and Workgroup Manager?
    We need our server to work seemlessly with the 31 Mountain Lion clients and the 60 Snow Leopard Clients.
    Once I get one machine setup correctly, I need to create an image of it so that I can then utilize this image on the other 30 machines.
    How do I create an image and then deploy it?
    Do I complete this step before or after I have setup the first client with Workgroup Manager?
    Also, am I missing something? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything important in regards to getting these new workstations setup on our network.
    Thank you so much for all your help! Any information you provide is much appreciated.

    No, you don't need an new license.
    But the Mac App Store doesn't allow you to download software, which you originally bought on DVD. Logic Studio is/was only available on DVDs, while Logic Pro, MainStage and Compressor are available in the Mac App Store as inidivdual applications.

  • External hard drive Snow Leopard and Lion compatibility?

    I am going to install Snow Leopard on my Mac (so I can then purchase Lion and install THAT into my Mac) but it only has 975 mb of memory left. So, I've decided that I need to purchase an external hard drive so that I can transfer some videos, songs, etc. to create more space on my Mac. My question is, what external hard drive will be compatible with Snow Leopard and Lion? I was going to purchase a Western Digital external but I've heard many problems of it being incompatible with Lion. What's a reliable and compatible brand that I could purchase? I'm looking for an external hard drive that hold at least 500 gb.

    I think your analysis is kind of harsh, kurt.
    'garbage'? really?
    Sure, some familiar paradigms have changed, and change brings pain - or at least, unfamiliarity - but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad.
    Of all the changes you mention three things that you consider abominations...
    UI changes more in line with iOS. Sure, and this is bad because...?
    It's clear that Apple see the iOS as the future, and it makes sense to unify the experience - at least where it makes sense. You don't actually mention which elements you consider bad, BTW.
    The scrolling seems to be the one most often cited, but to me it makes way more sense to manipulate the document directly, rather than manipulate a scroll bar that works inversely. I'm not sure what other UI elements you're concerned about.
    As for the Save As... issue, the change to Duplicate makes a lot of sense when you understand the concept of automatic file saving and versioning. There's never a need to 'save as' in order to create a point-in-time backup since you automatically get point-in-time backups just by using the OS. The only reason it makes sense to to force a branch and for that, 'duplicate' makes sense. If it bothers you, just read 'duplicate' as 'save as'.
    The big break here is that versioning requires application support - the developer needs to add it to their app code - and that creates inconsistencies in the short term because not all apps support versioning. That will fix in time as developers release updates to their apps.
    As for bugs, the current release is 10.7.2, so that's two revisions past the original. Any major release (of any applications, not just an OS) is going to have some number of issues and some people avoid any .0 release just for that reason. I think the concensus is that by the time you get to .2 most of the issues have been resolved. Can you point to any bug in 10.7.2 that directly affects you and your use of the OS? or are you basing your statements on outdated material?
    In short, every major OS release, from every OS vendor has some number of changes that confuse and upset users, and some number of short-term pain while application developers and users get up to speed. Lion is no different in that respect, and if you look back in history you'll see the exact same sentiment for Snow Leopard's release, and Leopard's, and Tiger's, and..., and..., and...
    To call it garbage, though? I think not.

  • Advice needed on whether to reinstall Snow Leopard with Logic Studio 8

    Prior to purchasing Snow Leopard upgrade, my Imac 3.06GHz 4GB RAM was running Logic studio 8 really nicely. Plugins include Realguitar 2, Abbey Rd drums, KorePlayer and I use the Tascam FireOne controller for audio. After installing Snow Leopard I noticed logic was overloading much easier than previously. This appeared to be that only one core of the CPU was showing activity and once that maxed out the system stopped. I decided after much frustration to wipe the iMac and revert to the original OS. However I dont think the situation has improved much - although I dont get logic hanging when I quit the application, I notice it still tends to run out of steam long before it did before. Now I am wondering whether to risk reinstalling the Snow Leopard upgrade as I would like to get a trackpad and a few other features I miss from SL. I am guessing from what I've read on the forum that many users are happy with Logic 8 studio on Snow Leopard and are not getting the same issues as myself. I've read the articles on load balancing cores etc, but what I dont understand is why I never had to bother with this before .. it all just worked fine!
    If I do install the upgrade to SL, is there an easy way to reverse if I am not happy without having to completely reinstall everything? If I backup with time machine, will that enable me to revert back to the OS?
    Sorry for such a long posting but advice would greatly be received! I also have a macbook pro which I havent tried installing snow leopard on yet, maybe I could try it out on that first?
    Many thanks
    Simon

    Snow Leopard is for Logic 9 and higher. Or vice versa.
    Cheers

  • I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal.  Except I don't know where these are coming from or why.   I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically.  Any Clues?  Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

    Greetings,
    What do you mean by "events to update"?  Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
    Troubleshooting:
    1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
    2. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • 64-Bit and 32-Bit: Snow Leopard and Windows 7

    Hi All:
    I will eventually be dual booting Snow Leopard and Windows 7. I have never used Boot Camp before and have several questions, including one related to Boot Camp.
    First, when installing 7, will I need to format the 7 partition, presumably NTSF.
    Second, given my MBP's 64-bit architecture, will I be able to run 64-bit 7. I am aware, of course, that not many programs are available in 64-bit for either platform. Also, I know that the Snow Leopard renditions of all, or most, of the iLife programs will be 64-bit.
    Does Leopard (and will Snow Leopard) run 32-bit programs in an emulation mode similar to the way 64-bit Vista/7 run 32-bit programs. In this regard, I assume, which surely must be the case, that OS X is a 64-bit program.
    Message was edited by: donv (The Ghost)

    hi donv,
    i run win7rc1 via bootcamp 32bit on mbp 17" 3.06ghz
    and same, but 64bit on imac 3.06ghz.
    all works perfect, also apple's keyboard (brightness+-/sound +-/keyboardbcklight +-/eject ..
    format is ntfs; backupable with winclone, also now (i have cloned from ssd to ssd).
    apps run also in emulation, but where specified drivers are needed (e.g. for flashing ci-cards) 32bit are a must (therefore i have 32bit on my mbp).
    partly i have boot camp 3.0 drivers (snowleo) in the mbp ..

  • Snow leopard and rosetta

    I have a couple of questions about snow leopard and rosetta.
    1. Quicken uses PowerPC code. Will Rosetta install automagically when I start Quicken or do I need to install Rosetta as part of the install.
    2. Assuming a Quicken update in the not too distant future, and assuming that other Rosetta apps are banished from my computer, is there a way to de-install Rosetta code when it is no longer needed?
    Thanks

    sdevan,
    First, I'm not sure why you are that concerned over Rosetta, other than the fact that universal binary apps will always run at least somewhat better than the PPC equivalents. There are still many PPC machines in the install base, so PPC code (and thus Rosetta) will not be going away any time soon. But, your questions...
    1) Obviously, Rosetta must be present within OS X in order for you to run PPC applications. No one knows yet whether or not Rosetta will be installed by default. I very strongly recommend that you carefully review the options within the Snow Leopard installer when you run it.
    2) Again, we don't know. I would think it would be rather difficult to get rid of everything associated with Rosetta, if it exists as part of OS X. I wouldn't recommend trying, and in truth, I see no reason why one would want to do so. There would be no benefit.
