Upgrading Logic 8 to 9 with clean OSX Install

I just ordered Logic 9 (upgrading from Logic 8). The disks should arrive tomorrow. I also just got Snow Leopard (I'm currently using 10.5.8) and want to do a clean install of Snow Lep before installing the Logic upgrade to bring my 2.8Ghz MacBook Pro to "new status". I'll be using it mainly for Main Stage and want a spanking new system that's free of all the other apps and files I've accumulated over the last couple of years.
Will the Logic 9 (Upgrade from 8) install properly and completely on a computer that's been first "clean installed" with Snow Lep, or will I have to install Logic 8 first and then perform the upgrade (yuk).
Thanks in advance.

Hi Red Robin,
Yes Logic Pro 9 Upgrade is the Complete Logic Studio...
If you look at the Contents of the full Retail Version of Logic 9 and the Upgrade Version... There is No Difference...
When you get your New 27" iMac Snow Leopard will already be Installed...
Just turn it on and follow the Prompts... Very Easy...
When you are Upgrading to Logic 9 just make sure you have your Serial Number for Logic 8 handy...
Cheers & Enjoy your Shiny New Mac...
PS Don't forget to run Software Update after you get your Mac Set Up...
Also make sure you have your Logic 8 PROJECTS saved to an External Hard Drive will ALL ASSETS saved...

I would like to upgrade hard drive and start with clean OS how is this done?

I have a mac book pro and would like to install a new hard drive with the latest OS. I dont care about previous data just a clean start. What is then best method to this approach?
Thanks!!

Command R you have access to Disk Utility and the OS install.
http://mashable.com/2013/10/23/clean-install-os-x-mavericks/
check your compatibility
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

Refresh macbook pro with clean Lion install

I have a macbookpro I want to give to a family member.
I have Lion installed on it already via the App Store upgrade (no disk).
What is the best procedure to refresh the entire computer with a clean install of Lion, reformated and no tracks my user or all of the development libraries, etc I've installed over the years, etc.?
Is there a way to do this without needing the physical media?
Can it refresh itself (reformat, etc) while retaining the OS in memory or something?
Should I use another computer or a harddrive connected via firewire?

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992 backup your data at least twice. Only do this if you want to eliminate all possible software issues at once. Run the Lion Recovery function:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Once backed up if you want to find out why a software issue may be happening, ask in the forum after backing up, but before trying any Recovery function.

Time Machine incompatible with clean Yosemite install

If you are considering a clean install, as I did, you should be aware that your Time Machine will no longer be usable to restore single files. You may be able to use Migration Assistant to restore your documents and settings, but I am told that the only way to continue using whatever backup file you have on Time Machine is to do a full restore from it. This restoration you do from Recovery mode, starting up with command-R. That restoration will identify your mac with the backup and allow you to continue using it and to get old files from it. However, there seems little point in going to the trouble of a clean install if you then just put everything back the way it was.
So you should consider, as I did not, that once you do a clean install, you have to start over with your Time Machine backups.

Hey there,
It sounds like you're still having trouble exposing the proper library folder. You can use the following terminal command to do it globally (this will show all hidden files)
Open Terminal from your appliications folder and copy/paste this into it:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE (press return)
**After that last line you'll need to restart the finder so use:
killall Finder (press return)
Now if you enter Time Machine the correct Library should be visible. To re-hide your hidden files repeat the process above but replace TRUE with FALSE, then use the "killall Finder" again.
I agree with the commenters above, you should restore the Mail library to the desktop and then re-import it to Mail. This is how I was instructed to solve this problem by Mac help, who I chatted with online for quite a while before they figured it out.
Hope this helps

Firefox: Flickering when scrolling - need help with clean 'new' install

Screen is flickering when scrolling (IE does not). I tried disabling add-ons and tried safe mode - neither helped. Running Win 7 Pro 64bit. Uninstalled via 'Programs and Features'. Download and reinstalled Firefox. Now it shows all my previous settings: menu bar, bookmarks bar, etc. Question: how did it get that stuff back if it 'cleanly' uninstalled? Question: how do I know it didn't pick up it's old 'bad habit' from the previous settings? I am an experienced PC user but not Firefox expert. Looking for help lest I have to ditch Firefox completely...

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

App Store Uninstalled Apps Showing as Installed After Clean OSX Install

Anyone know how to fix this?
Did a clean Mountain Lion install on Mac Pro. Two apps show as installed (Twitter and Wunderlist) after the install, and they are most defintiely not installed, though I would like them to be ...

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, 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.
The Mac App Store (MAS) can see its apps installed on mounted partitions and ext/int HDDs. Is there a backup of your previous installation mounted on your Mac with these two apps? If so, that is why the MAS sees them as installed.
Two ways to get the apps on your reinstall of Mt Lion;
1. Locate the apps on the mounted drive and drag & drop the apps to the Apps folder on your Mt Lion boot drive
2. Dismount the mounted drive with the apps, so the MAS doesn't see them and download them again from your list on the Purchased pane

PDF Printer went missing after clean OSX install

Hey,
In Adobe Illustrator - I used to have a choice of printers between my Epson and printing to a PDF.
I had to reinstall Mac OSX 10.5.5 (Leopard) and now don't have the PDF printer option.
I found the FAQ regarding precious versions of OSX - but neither solution worked.
I was using the PDF printer fine before my re-install, now it's just missing.
Where can I find it?
Thanks!

One last thing. After reinstalling the CS 3 suite, you need to run the
updater to fix compatibility issues with 10.5. You may need to run the
updater several times.

Phantom folders after HD format and clean osx install

I was having frequent checksum and other misc errors while trying to mount DMGs or install programs so i decided to format my drive and do a clean install of snow leopard.
After the format and clean install of snow leopard, I did the following..
Join my wi-fi network
Run software update
Installed Xcode
Installed macports, ruby19, python, scala, macruby
installed bbedit, textmate, yojimbo, coda, transmit, omniplan, omnigraffle, omnifocus
Run mobileme sync
and then i discovered the following folders in my application folder.
Access Music
Adobe Bridge CS5.
These folders used to be in my applications folder along with 100+ other applications before I formatted and installed snow leopard.
None of the applications I installed, after snow leopard are dependent or related to these 2 phantom apps even remotely.
How could this have happened?
I'm not on drugs, I've developed software for over 25 years and I'm currently an Architect for financial site that serves millions of users well, so I guess I'm not a complete idiot and I'm also not senile. I'm not 40 yet
Can someone offer an explanation for this? The apple tech I mentioned this to, thought I was a moron as I expected he would. He did find issues with my drive using Disk Warrior though even though disk utility and tech tool had found nothing after several runs.

I'm sorry you had that experience with the Apple tech.
Files still remain on the hard drive even after a format if not done with several passes
If you formatted in Disk Utility or used Disk Utility to format, the data that was formatted would be converted into "Free Space" and placed near the end of the drive. There are security options in Disc Utility that prevent this from happening.
Most likely the reason was those folders remained was because the "Free Space" was not wiped. Disc Warrior, a data recovery software was able to locate more files because of this. It does a great job of recovering deleted or formatted data.
I hope this answers your question.

Turning on Filevault irrecoverably hangs even with clean OS install

It's a 13" MacBook Air 5,2 from 2012 with 128GB storage.
When I turn on Filevault, it runs for about an hour before the estimated time remaining goes from 1-2 hours to "estimating time remaining" and it beach balls. I've let it sit for up to 24 hours before and nothing happens. I have to force it to shut down, then when it starts up I get the white screen with a question mark folder. To recover from this I have to boot from a USB drive and wipe the disk.
I've tried this 3 times, once with a completely new install of Mavericks.
My suspicion is that the SSD is bad, but could it be a different hardware issue?

Help with Clean Install of Yosemite

I am doing a clean install of Yosemite in hopes of resolving my many MacBook Pro issues. This has been recommended by Apple Support before installing a new hard drive which would be the next option.
My Macbook Pro is an early 2011, running Mavericks, 2.7 GHz Inel Core i7, OSX 10.9.5. 16 G B Ram, 500 GB Hard Drive with over half available.
I have Yosemite on a Bootable USB drive and a current back up on a separate external hard drive. The question I have is should I update to Yosemite first, do another back-up and then do the clean install or is this an unnecessary step?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

How do you have your data backed up? Time Machine or another method? If Time Machine, run it from the recovery partition and then install Yosemite. If you simply have data stored on the external HDD with no OSX, Install Yosemite and then transfer the user data.
Ciao.

Drivers for XP with no OSX DVD?

I have a bootcamp install of XP running, but cannot get the bootcamp assistant in 10.6.2 to burn a driver disk. I have checked through the bootcamp app resources, no drivers either. i have checked apple support, downloaded the boot camp 2.1 driver package and 2.2 update, which doesn't run in XP (just immediately terminates). also, my macbook pro did not arrive with a OSX install dvd, which is leaving me unable to find working XP drivers anywhere. any ideas?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the BootCamp Assistant no longer features the BootCamp Drivers.
Starting with OSX 10.5 Leopard Apple has put the BootCamp Drivers onto the OSX DVD.
So, usually you put in the OSX DVD while you are running BootCamp Windows and the Driver Setup starts automatically.
Also, all Mac purchases do include an OSX DVD.
Have a look inside the package your Mac came in. There should be a smaller case inside in which you should find the OSX DVD alongside the Mac manual.

How to upgrade (with clean install) a OEL4 server to OL5 on a live system

My problem is that I cannot find any meaningful information on how to perform a OL upgrade on a live system with a running database.
The system is running OEL 4.9 (migrated from RHEL 4 to OEL) and I want to upgrade it to OL 5.7 (wanted to use 6.1 but that is not yet certified for 11.2)
I know that using Anaconda's upgrade is not supported so I guess I will have to use a clean install. (the system is full of legacy rpm's and old drivers that where needed in previous 4.x releases and dependencies that I wouldn't want to upgrade).
So I want to do a clean install of 5.7 on the server, but what is the process? There are 3 LVs running 1 for the OS (with partitions for /, /boot, /tmp, /usr, /var and /home )
1 for the Oracle software / data files and 1 for exports / archive logs and such.
If I do a clean install on the OS LV (after taking a backup of everything) will I be able to reuse the existing setup of Oracle software on the 2nd logical volume? create the oracle user with the same uid/gid, running root.sh, etc.. Will it start and be able to mount/open the database ? (I am assuming the need to rebuild the installation) There is also a home for 11.2 middleware web-tier utilities (for APEX).
I have been searching in vain for some guides / insight into what the correct procedures are for upgrading the OEL4 to OL5 (or OL6 if it gets certified in the next few months).
Any help appreciated.
Oli

My problem is that I cannot find any meaningful information on how to perform a OL upgrade on a live system with a running database.Firstly, it is good to know your system is running satisfactorily.
After taking a full backup (and checking that the backup is good!), you must shutdown the RDBMS instances.
1) Reboot from the distribution media.
2) Choose a full install; you do not want to upgrade.
3) Be very careful to click on the checkbox to "use custom setup" so that you will get a display of the current storage setup.
4) In the Anaconda Disk Druid screen, edit the displayed LVMs to use their old mount points.
5) Make absolutely certain that the checkbox to reformat the LVMs for your database setup are clear, not checked.
6) Do install the default RPM package selection; the OL distro is configured to install the necessary prerequisites for an RDBMS setup.
7) After the installation completes, be sure to install the "oracle-validated" RPM package to do the necessary tuning.
8) Add back all the user accounts.
9) Move on to bringing up the RDBMS.
Looks scary, and is, but can be done. Practice installing this way before doing it for real -- you do want to be familiar with each installation step and to realize where you are along the process.
