Using two machines for Logic?

I have a question: i have been using a 1.6 G5 and Logic 6.4 for 3 years. However, its really begining to struggle in terms of synchronizing audio and midi and using fairly CPU intensive plugins like Battery, Reaktor, etc.
I am currently thinking about investing in one of the new Mac Pro's either a dual core 2.66 or 3Ghz. However, before I invest a substantial ammount of money in I have some questions. If anybody can help I would be most grateful.
1. Can I utilise my old G5 into my new set up and harness some of its processing power?
2. Does Logic 6 run on the new Mac pros?
3. Do I need to install all of my plugins on the new Mac Pro, or is their some way of leaving them installed on my old machine but using the processing power of the Mac pro?
Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Hey, I use a mac mini as my main box and a second, connected via high speed ethernet, as a node. I use Screen Sharing to monitor the node box; I've found it generally helps to go in a nudge it awake before I start a Logic session.
I'm very happy with this set up; between freezing some tracks and running others on the node (I have from 15-20 tracks, 2/3 of those audio with various plugins, rest software instruments), I've not had any real CPU/Midi-sync issues.

Hi,
question 1: I think it's possible to use your G5 as "tandem machine" in some way, but I hope someone else can tell you more...
question 2: sorry, no. Normal non-Universal Binary apps like word processors etc. that are not time-critical run beautifully on Intel Macs. This is done in the background thru Rosetta, a part of the Intel version of Mac OS X. But old Logic versions won't run on Intel Macs. You'd need at least an Intel version of Logic 7.
question 3: no, that's not possibe. The Macs will only run "their own" plugins. You'll need Universal Binary plugins on your Intel Mac. It took a while, but almost all serious plugins are Universal Binary by now.
To be honest, when I bought my Intel iMac a year ago, "losing" a plugin like Sampletank Free was painful. But the advantages of having a super-fast Mac made it more than good
Kind regards,
Jaap

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

Migration from MBP to MBA: tips on using two machines at once?

Hi folks,
Seeking wisdome of the community here. I am retirng a long serving MBP-2010, moving over to a new MBA-2013.
For lots of reasons, I'm setting up the new Air manually, rather than use Setup Assistant. I'm planning to continue using the Pro as a media player, at home, for emergency backup. The Air will be my main work device. I'm manually migrating my data, and will reinstall software on the Air selectively, as needed, to minimize some of the messiness that slowed down my old unit.
So here's my question, concen: Are there any concerns, pitfalls, or tricks to using two machines, connected to the same Apple ID, in parallel? Should I uninstall any of the software in the old unit, or disconnect it from my iTunes, or anything else?
Thanks for any reference, advice, or URLs. I searched the boards, but had no luck finding similar queries.
All the best, Adam

No, you can connect many Macs (and IOS devices) to the same AppleID, in fact for iCloud useage, you have to.

How do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes? Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message.....".

When I start iTunes, how do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message....."

Does this apply?

Before going ahead on this you should definitely check with Apogee as I think they do not recommend using their interface(s) in an Aggregate device.
Maybe that's changed.. not sure.

Help with using two computers for iPod

So, as the title hints to, I use two different computers for my day to day activities and have now run into a big hiccup.
-I have, currently on my iPod about 475 songs. All were painstakingly loaded from their CD's onto the little devil. I did this at work in spare time (OK maybe not, but that's not wehat we're here about)
-Today I tried connecting to load some new songs, from my home machine, onto the iPod and it says it will erase all of my previous work.
-I did some browsing here and discovered things like Pod Soft or whatever but could none of those programs to work for me. I also attempted the shift/ctrl trick which failed as well.
-Am I hooped? Do I just face facts and use only one machine for this? What happens when I trade a computer? Actually, in the meantime I am not worried about that, I just want my new tunes on the iPod. I am feeling quite limited by this and understood it would be a much easier process.
Thanks for looking in on this and any advice given.

Thinking about using Time Machine for the first time...

I just assume that updates are inherently good to have, regardless of what it's for. I figure that the developers know a lot more than I do regarding the optimization or improvement of their own software, so I simply allow their download. I'm thinking about using my Time Machine for the first time and reverting back to the pre-9.1 install, if that's even possible. Things were working fine for me and now there are all kinds of issues with communication between my Axiom Pro 61 and Logic. Nothing responds through Hypercontrol anymore, and I don't expect any updates from M-Audio until at least 2012. Anyone else thinking about taking this route?

Yes, I did. I opened that version immediately after I discovered that 9.1 had that effect and the controller was still inoperative. Of course, I still have MIDI input and PB/Mod wheel control, but that's about it. Everything else would need to be manually loaded, which the Pro series is supposed to do automatically. I haven't restarted my iMac yet, nor have I tried removing the keyboard from the computer altogether and perhaps reconnecting it. Maybe that would reset it...

Using Time machine for the first time.

2 questions.
1) Can I have more than one time machine ( 3 internal HD > 3 Time Machine for example) on the same computer?
2) Can I assign two different HD to the same Time Machine?
Thanks

Yes, but if you are using Snow Leopard you will need to manually switch between configurations.
Yes, you can backup multiple drives to the same Time Machine backup drive.

Using two monitors with Logic

I've never used two screens before, so can someone please answer these basic questions?
With LE and Logic Pro, can you have whatever window you like on each monitor - for example Arrange window on one and a score editor on the other? Or is it limited to certain combinations?
And if you've got the mouse cursor on one screen, how does the cursor get to the other screen? Key combination or just push the mouse further across?
Hope someoen can help!

Hi Robin
I´ve been using 2 monitors for several years now, and it´s very nice with logic pro. I can´t live without it anymore.
You can use whatever windows in combination to build different screensets. Think of it as it´s one big desktop. When you move the curser near the border off one monitor it pops up on the other. Go for it, you wont regreat it.
nice regards
