Uninstalling logic

Basically I upgraded OSX and Logic Pro 7 no longer works properly. I ugraded my MOTU software and Logic and still no good. I can not begin to go into the myriad of crap that it does or doesn't do, and I have been told to just uninstall and re-install. Of course I am now having a problem backing up my audio files. My question is...If I uninstall logic what will happen to the audio files that are on the computer? Will they lay dormant and then still be there when I re-install, or will they be erased with the program. The files are stored in ~Music/Logic/(insert file name here).
This may sound like a dumb question but after what I have been thru with Logic and this Mac, I can no longer assume anything. Any info is greatly appreciated.

You will not loose any files that you have" backed up" but you might try downloading the 7.1 up grade for logic. I do not know if that will solve it but it might be worth a try,before youy uninstall anything.

HT2375 how do I uninstall logic studio from my macbook pro?

i need to uninstall logic studio from my computer to make more space on my drive. I want all the programs associated with logic studio gone.

Open Print & Scan preferences. Select the installed printer in the list. Click on the Delete [-] button below the list.

Can I now delete/uninstall Logic Pro 9 safely now that I have Logic Pro X?

Is it ok to delete the application Logic Pro 9 now that X is installed without affecting anything?

There shouldn't be any problems when uninstalling Logic 9, but in my opinion this is not necessary. Logic 9 does not claim that much space on your HD and it will coexist rather unnoticed along LPX. You'll gain availability of a 2nd DAW wherein you still can run 32 bit plugins, work on old projects incase LPX has trouble translating them and you'll have functionality available which has been left out in LPX. My advice would be to leave it where it is.
Have a nice day!

How do I completely (!) uninstall "Logic Pro X" with all associated files?

Hey guys,
I'm a relatively new MAC user.
I'm sitting here since two hours to figure out how I can uninstall "Logic Pro X" and all it's associated files completly?
I found several guides on the internet pointing to different folders which should be deleted.
When I follow those guides all I get are circa four deleted files and 1 GB of free space nothing more.
They are all written for older versions of Logic (mostly 8 and 9)!
So maybe someone here on the official support communities can help me getting rid of it?

Hi
If you really want to delete all of it:
Applications: Logic Pro X
Macintosh HD:Lbrary:Audio:Apple Loops:Apple (you may want to keep the GarageBand ones?)
Macintosh HD:Lbrary:Audio:Impulse Responses
Macintosh HD:Lbrary:Application Support:Logic
That should get most/all of it

SORRY! I thought you were referring to Logic Pro X.
I assume the regulations will be different with earlier versions.

How do i uninstall Logic Pro 9.1.6 to do a clean install?

I think if you drag it from the Applications folder to the trash bin, it should work. Some people recommend "Clean My Mac" to remove any residual files afterwards, just to make sure.

I uninstalled logic because it kept crashing. But when i try to reinstall it get to the 3rd disk and says it couldn't be installed. Does anyone know of any reasons this might be?

Also tried restoring system from backup but just does the same thing
This is where a HD clone is so important, ...
Time Machine can do nothing with/to a crashed / failing HD.
Like refilling a gumball machine with a hole in the bottom, ....futile.
At least your vital data is backed up. Look into getting a new internal HD. Very cheap fix $65 for a new HD.
If you have Apple care on your 2011 macbook, contact them for repair/ HD replacement.

Uninstalling Logic Pro 9 and clearing HD space.

I followed the files to remove to uninstall logic pro, but when I return to view my hard drive space, it didnt change at all, I am a photographer, and video enthusiest, I need space on my macbook pro. Any Help would be great.

Hi
Logic 9 installs files in all sorts of places (as well as the Application itself):
<Boot Disc>:Library:Application Support;Logic
<Boot Disc>:Library:Application Support:Garageband:Instrument Library:Sampler
<Boot Disc>:Library:Audio:Apple Loops
<Boot Disc>:Library:Audio:Impulse Responses
That should get you started

How to uninstall Logic Pro 8 and Reinstall Logic Pro 7.2?

For numerous reasons I'd like to uninstall Logic Pro 8 and return to Logic Pro 7, the reasons for which I'd rather not discuss, as I'd like to focus on the reinstallation task.
Apple states that Logic Pro 7 still functions, but this is not entirely correct. Since many instruments were replaced, the complex 50-track songs that I painstakingly mixed on pure LP7 (prior to the upgrade) now sound completely different in LP7 post-LP8 install (as well as LP8 as you can imagine). It seems that the levels are actually different on some of the EXS and other instruments. Yes, Apple says they are richer and better, but I really don't care. I am in the middle of a CD and need to return to the state I was in prior to the upgrade.
Ultimately I'd like to reinstall Logic Pro 7 and/or its content in order to get all of my original instruments back.
Does anyone have a procedure for this? Should I uninstall Logic Pro 8 and then perform a complete reinstall of Logic Pro 7 following Apple's procedure? Or should I simply use Pacifist to replace the content files that were replaced? Will any of my preferences (plug-in settings) be lost during a reinstall? Should the rest of Logic Studio be uninstalled as well?
Thanks so much in advance.
P.S. I'm just looking for a procedure and do not wish to discuss the reasons, which you'll find all over the forums.

Thank you.
Regarding copying the settings, these should all be in my personal user folder, correct? My plugin settings should all reside here as I understand. Would ANY customized settings reside anywhere OTHER than my user folder? *Yes, everything should live here, but it never hurts to snoop around the other folders just in case.*
I had modified some EXS instrument settings, but did not import new ones.
Where would the personal EXS settings exist - in my user folders or elsewhere? *All exs are stored Library / Application Support / Logic or GarageBand. The audio files for instrument should be stored there as well. You will need to copy and save both the instrument file and the associated audio files*.
If I simply modified an EXS instrument within a song, my understanding is that would be a property of the song itself, correct? *Yes, if you did not save the exs instrument as new instrument, it settings are stored with the song.*
Also,
Which folders am I deleting when I "delete both versions of Logic"? *You can delete ANY and all folders associated with them. Delete them out of the Apps folder, utilities, and Application support*.
And how would I delete the new Logic 8 content - where does it reside? *The Library. Not in front of my mac so sorry I can't be more specific.*
I just spoke to Apple and they recommended an "Erase and Restore" of the entire system, and a reinstall of Logic 7 in order to get me back to where I was - do you agree? *Yes, that is the preferred method but only if you are willing or in a position to start from scratch i.e re-installing all 3rd party apps, hardware drivers ect. Remember to back up all your important files.*
Thanks!

How do you uninstall LOGIC completely?

I need to uninstall LOGIC completely so that it has no memory of the computer or previous AUDIO interface. I have tried to just use the DVD however when I boot LOGIC up in reconises that my previously selected audio interface is not there.... this is exactly what i don't want to happen.
Is there an easy way to uninstall all the files associated with the program?
Many Thanks

Tim:
Brent has answered your question, but if your concern is only that Logic is bugging you about an old interface, then you should run Audio/MIDI set up (in your utilities folder) and run Logic's setup assistant once more, configuring it to your new interface. Then your interface should be correctly recognized.
At the very worst, replacing your Logic Preferences (by dragging it to the desktop) should fix the problem also; if you have custom key commands you won't want to throw your preferences out as you'll want to import them; if you just use the defaults it won't matter.
Either way, this is a lot easier than reinstalling Logic and all the 3rd. party stuff you might have.

Uninstalling Logic Pro

I was wondering if anyone knew how to uninstall Logic and then reinstall it?

This is for Logic Pro 7 ,but it may help http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300659

How hard can it be to uninstall Logic Pro 9??

How do I uninstall Logic pro and all the programs that follow with it? I can´t find the answer anywhere. The answers I find are all older than 2010 and just includes deleting alot of strange files I cant find.
And apparently theres no uninstall function either... frustrating.

It's not hard, just drag the Logic app icon to trash, empty the trash, and that's it.
You may also want to move Mainstage, Compressor, Waveburner, Logic Node, Soundtrack Pro and Apple Qmaster (depending on whether you had these installed along with Logic as a Logic Studio suite) to trash too.
After that you may search the hard-drive for any Logic-related items, and trash them too. Check <your HD>/Library/Application Support/Logic AND <your HD>/users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/Logic (this one should contain your preferences, apple loops, custom sound patches, temp files and undo data).
Apple Loops, Jam Packs and other Logic content (if you installed them all) could be found in: <your HD>/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/

Uninstalling Logic Pro to reinstall on another computer.

Hi, apologies if this problem is already answered elswehere. I've tried various search terms but can't find an answer to my specific questions. I have Logic Pro 8 installed on my almost 4 year old Macbook in addition to being installed on my Desktop Pro. I rarely if ever use the laptop for Logic work and it's only there in case I'm working in a studio and need to refer to a score or something as the Macbook isn't powerful enough for 'full' use. I'm giving the Macbook to my sister and will be getting a Macbook Pro in due course when I can afford it. In the meantime, I've been loaned an almost new Macbook Pro to use while working away from home on a large project.
What I need to do is uninstall Logic from the Macbook, (which I want to do anyway when I give it to my sister) and install it on the borrowed Macbook Pro for use until I get my own new one. I have three questions:
1. Is this allowed under the licence as long as I don't use both computers at the same time?
2. How do I uninstall Logic?
3. Will I need to register the software again on the borrowed computer and what do I need for that?
Sorry for the long post but I thought I'd better give as much info as I could.
Thanks.

Thanks for the answer. I plan to by Adobe Illustrator CS6-Multiple Platforms-Ukrainian-AOO License (<removed by mod - kglad>), is it original?
