Upgrading logic pro 7.1

I'm using logic pro 7.1 and OSx 10.4.2 ,i use rewire
for reason and all works fine , but i'm interested in
new AU instruments and fx that require more up to
date versions ...Should i keep upgrading my logic and
OSx to keep up with the times or just be happy with
what i've got...? Will the latest system upgrades to
both logic and OSx be more beneficial to me , or just
more headaches.?..cheers
personally, I upgrade when I cannot do what I need to do. if your system is stable and you can do exactly what you need to do then leave it alone. If you get on the 'upgrading computers and hardware' every time a new version comes out it is an addiction and can sometimes stop you creating music.
Many computer assisted writers are more interested in setting up their equipment and getting a nice little clean studio set up than they are creating music. My system works perfectly, I will wait until something juicy comes out that I would like to try and then if my present system doesn't support it I will upgrade then.
Ask yourself what type of musician / composer/ prodecer you are? am you looking for a nice little clean set up where you have full control of the rocketship? or do you want to get some work done? If you are a working type guy, then pick your moments carefully as a stable system can be a wonderful thing. If you are not a work priority guy then upgrade every three minutes and have fun figuring it all out.

Alert box won't allow upgrade Logic Pro 9.0.2 to 9.1.7

I'm forbidden to upgrade. These screenshots should tell the story.
Please inform as to how to correct this.
Thanks,

Thanks Neil,
"Grab" didn't get the color (blue) right - it appears gray in the grab - but I assure you it is in the proper place - all the other info is correct. I didn't grab the file size or the date (251.8 MB - 2/11/10)
Yes, I should have mentioned this also - to save you the trouble. I guess this was a fix for others, but not in this case.
It is in my Applications Folder - not at root level - nor in a subfolder.
Its name is the same that Apple gave it when installed. "Logic Pro 9.0.2.app"
As that is not the problem, is there anyway to get Apple Support to write a support ticket on this?
Thanks for your help,

Can't upgrade logic pro in Lion

After installing Lion I can't upgrade the not working Logic Pro 9.1.1 to 9.1.4.
First to upgrade from 9.02 to 9.1.1 fails because I get the message: 'your computer does not need this update'.
Then to upgrade from 9.02 to 9.14 fails because I got the memessage: 'an eligible Logic Pro version was not found in The Application folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher'.
What can I do. I don't want to go back from Lion to Leopord Snow to solve thiis upgrade issue in Logic Pro. This must be known bye Apple! It is their own Pro application!

Fantastic, it worked that way without any problem. I just skipped the numbers (9.0.2) after the name LOGIC PRO in the application folder.
CCTM, thank you very much for the solution.

How to upgrade Logic Pro 8 to Logic Pro 9 by downloading from the App Store

I have Logic Studio 8 currently taking up space on my Mac and not working at all after a foolish upgrade to Lion (from a Logic point of view). I want to reconnect with it and want to upgrade to Logic 9. The question I have is that if I simply go to the store to purchase will the new package recognise I still have Logic and upgrade for me (thereby keeping my original projects)?
If possible I would want to avoid losing all my previous work but I realise it might be lost to me.
Anyone done something similar?

Thanks Organism, I was about to go ahead and download 9 when I decided for one last time to see if Logic 8 would run for me. Much to my surprise it did (and was stable) I didn't have any additional audio interfaces in my iMac that might have screwed around with the system so it might be a false dawn but at least I am able to open all my old project folders. The next challenge is to reconnect my Guitarport interface - I use this to record Guitar and Bass POD sounds into Logic. If that works and my Midi keyboard works (no reason it shouldn't really) I'll be back in business. Thanks for your post in any case.
I have absolutely no idea why Logic 8 works now where it didn't before though in case anyone asks

How can I upgrade the solo version of Logic Pro 9 to Logic Studio?

I just would like to know how and where to upgrade logic pro to logic studio

First of all, Erik is correct.. Logic Studio has been discontinued.. However, there are a few copies left around I am sure... to purchase if you really wanted to...
But.....
Unless you really want Waveburner and Soundtrack Pro 3..(Neither of which have been updated for at least a couple of years now..) there is little point in buying Logic Studio 2... as it will cost you $499... and you can buy Compressor and Mainstage (the other two parts of Logic Studio) for much less than that on the App Store.... and the additional content (that actually took up most of the DVDs in the boxed set) can be downloaded for free within Logic Pro itself.
I think a newer version is soon to be announce.
Not of Logic Studio there won't be.. I believe boxed sets of Logic are long dead and gone... and won't be seen again... It's all App Store products from now on...
There may well be a newer version of Logic Pro on the way.. but no one knows when.... until Apple announce it.

I have logic pro studio 8 and the upgrade, however it will not upload on my mac book pro. It says i need a product key for the logic 9 and it come with one.

I have logic pro studio 8 and the upgrade (logic pro 9) and it will not load up to my new mac book pro. Its asking for a product key for the logic pro 9 upgrade and there wasn't one in the box. i need some help

Contact AppleCare... Explain you are a Logic User and you should be transfered to a Product Specialist to assist you with your Issue.

Logic Pro free upgrade?

Is it free to upgrade Logic Pro when a new version is released? I want to buy Logic but I don't want to waste $200 if a newer version will be released within a few months that I would also have to buy. Thanks for your help.

You might want to call Apple on that one, this is a User forum, we would only be speculating. Everyone knows a new version of Logic is coming out, probably in the next few months but honestly, no one knows when and if they did they can't say. Usually if you purchase the softer and a new version comes out in a certain time frame the upgrade would be free... but I don't think anyone knows how long the free upgrade window is going to cover.

Downloaded Logic Pro and won't run

Downloaded Logic Pro and won't run. Keeps telling me couldn't open due to a problem. It says to update my software or reinstall it but it' won't let update it neither.

Bought the software in app store, installed it and it just won't run. I have OS X 10.6.8 just donwgraded from lion and safri wouldn't work either since.
The error window tells me maybe I should re install the program or update my software. I've done both, donwloaded the upgrade (Logic pro 9.1.7) and the install helper keeps telling I can't updrade my software like that. I need to chek for actualization through my computer. But the computer actualization finder "thingy" won't find more softaware to update.

Logic Pro slower on 2011 MBP than 2008 MacBook? Especially with NI Kontakt

Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro, late 2011 model, and I was really stoked but I've come to find Logic Pro runs slower in general than on my old MacBook (not pro, mid-2008 model). I know the MBP is a faster computer but I can't figure out why Logic is so slow and I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some optimization or answers. The main issue lies in Kontakt, which I was able to run far more instances of on my old macbook than my new MBP. I frequently get system overload despite having more cores on the CPU and the same memory.
Below are the differences:
2011 MBP (stock)
Logic Pro 9.1.6 64-bit
NI Kontakt 5 (4-8 instances)
NI Pro-53 (2-3 instances) through 32-bit AU bridge
NI Massive through 32-bit AU bridge
2008 MB (stock, except 4GB memory upgrade)
Logic Pro 9.1.0 (32-bit)
NI Kontakt 4 (8+ instances no problem)
NI Massive (2-6) instances

I'd also add that when running large native instrument sample libraries, they advise (in the start up guide) to install large sample libraries on a dedicated hard drive. If you have a FireWire 400/800 drive, it might be worth it to install kontakts huge library on there and see if that frees up some CPU. Trying to run logic / the plugin applications, the sample libraries and your recorded audio/logic files on one drive will severely hurt your CPU performance.
I know is doesn't really answer why you'd be faster/more stable on your old Mac, but might help you get the most out of your new machine.
Cheers!

Problems w/ Logic Pro 8 plugins GUI

hello all,
I am setting up a small pre-production studio at home....I have installed Logic Pro 8 and all of the updates on my Mac Mini 2.0GHz proscessor w/ 2Gb of RAM. Logic Pro 8 is working just fine. I haven't yet installed any third party plug-ins at all. But the GUI to ALL of the plugins that come standard with Logic Pro 8 does not appear. The plugins is recognized and i can playback sound and eveything, but the GUI to "all" of the plug-ins will not display.....I have tried removing the preferences and I checked to make sure that my displays meet the required settings for Logic.....Can someone please help me with this? Has anyone had this problem? I would really appreciate some feedback asap.....
system: mac mini (os x 10.5.3)
software: logic pro 8 w/ current updates

Yes, everybody who tries to run Logic Pro 8 on Mavericks. It does not work!
Either do not use Mavericks, or upgrade Logic Pro to a newer version - I think everything after 9.1.5 seems to work. Logic Pro X - of course - also works on Mavericks.

Logic pro installations (pre-App Store)

I would like to install Logic Pro on my old (2006) Powerbook Pro however, the disk drives on those machines was notoriously unreliable, so I can't install from the disks (I purchased it as an upgrade from v8, prior to App Store downloads being available).
Can you offer any guidance as to whether the serial number can be recognised by the App Store, and then a copy downloaded. I assume that it's paired with my Apple I.D., but in the App Store, my only option appears to be to repurchase it. This isn't an option for me.
Thanks.

No, your serial isn't linked with the copy of Logic that can be obtained from the App Store.. and your Apple ID and Password..
When you install Logic from the boxed set some files are created on your System HD that contain your serial (once you have entered it during the install proceedure)
When you go to update via the newly combined App Store and Software Updater mechanism the update routines check for those files containing the serial and allow you to download any updates if those files exists. No serial codes on your HD? No ability to download or update from the app store app without purchasing the App store version of Logic..
So, you cannot download a fresh copy of Logic from the App store without purchasing it... as doing so uses a different mechanism altogether...
So, how do you install your Logic Studio 2 Upgrade (Logic Pro 9) if your internal DVD has failed...?
Two methods...
Buy an external USB DVD from somewhere like Amazon for $30 and use that to install the Logic Studio 2 Upgrade package.. (It doesn't need the original Logic Studio 1/Logic Pro 8 DVDs.. just the Original LS1 Serial number followed by the LS2 upgrade serial number)
Use a friend's (or any other Mac ) computer to make disk images of your Logic Studio 2 DVDs to an external HD and then install from those images...
Once installed... then you can update using the App Store/Software Update method to the latest version for your PowerPC bearing in mind that Logic Pro 9 is now Intel Only so you can only update to a much older version these days...
It's also worth noting that the version of Logic Pro 9 for sale on the App Store is for Intel Only Macs... so that wouldn't be of any use to you anyhow...
Hope this helps..

After upgrading to 10.7.5 some of my AU plugins can not be validated in Logic pro. (I got error message "Remove property listener". I can not work anymore. What should I do?
VIBAC

I downloaded and installed
OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update
and that solved my problem completely. (368 AU plugins now works!)

Things to remember before installing Logic Pro 9 upgrade on new iMac

Hello!
Just moved up from a G5 to an iMac i7.
I have my XS Key and the upgrade for Logic Pro 9.
Any thing i should know before installation ?
I only have the 1TB internal drive right now.
Thanks

You can purchase the Upgrade and install it on your New MBP...
Just have the Serial Number from LP 8 handy for when you are asked for it...
After the install you will need to run Software update to get the Latest version of Logic 9 for Lion..
Or you can Download it from Here
