Why won't Logic Pro 9 run on my Mac running OSx?

When launching program get message "You can't run this version of the application Logic Pro with this version of Mac OS X. You have Logic Pro 9.0.0."
And yet Mainstage, bundled with Logic Pro 9.0, will run.
Is there an update or upgrade I need to purchase in order to run this VERY expensive program?
Is this problem related to the fact that I originally purchased the Logic Express and then the Pro upgrade?
I ran this program on my Macbook Pro unti lit finally died after 6 years of hard use.
Help?!?!

Hi
Logic 9.0.0 will not run under Lion. You need to run Software update, or go download the necesssary updateers directly from Apple Support.
Note that, for the updaters to work, the Logic Application *MUST* be a) in your Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder, and b) it must be named "Logic Pro" without any numbers or spaces after the name.

Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?

Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?
Running Logic Pro version 10.1.1
Imac 3.1 GHz Intel Core 7
16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.5

If you ask nicely at an Apple Store... and take your Mac with you.... they will download and install LPX for you..... along with all it's content...
As for why they don't offer it on a flash drive?
Who knows.....
It's Apple.... Its the App Store system... Its all about the Apple ID.. it's where things are leading, away from the physical to the non physical medium... and so on..They do things their way.. whether we like it or not... and if you don't like it?
Then choose a different DAW (or move to a different OS via bootcamp) .. It's no skin off their nose... so to speak... but it will cost you more...(in most cases a lot more) for a boxed / non downloadable edition.. For example... Cubase 8 = $550... Live 9 Suite (Boxed) = $800.... Motu DP = $500.. Bitwig = $300... and so on...
$199 for LPX..and all its content... It's a steal, box or no box...
My only issue is.. it would be good to be able to easily download and store a copy of everything myself.. without having to resort to somewhat tricky methods to do so.. so I could easily install everything on a non internet connected Mac...

What is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

what is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
          A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
          Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
          View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

hi there guys,
will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
Many thanks for any help you can offer !
Simon

SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

"Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
Thank you!

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

Glad that you got the adjustment layer issue worked out. Not quite enough info to troubleshoot the other problems. The following page outlines the kind of info that helps zero in on the cause of such problems: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
As to the cache files and rendered previews, you do not need to keep them. Premiere will regenerate them as needed. Because re-conforming the audio and re-rendering the sequence takes time, you probably want to keep those files around for the current project--unless, of course, you have reason to think that the cache or render files are causing problems.
To keep things clean and get the attention of more people, it would probably be best to start a new thread for the other issues.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Logic Pro 7 running out of memory!?!

Hi!
I am working on a project were I basically want to cut up every beat of a drum recording on 12 tracks and correct their timing individually (I have my reasons for doing this).
This creates a decent amount of regions and for some reason Logic starts complaining about running short on memory and not having enough memory for the undo history.
It bugs me because I am working on a Dual 2.5GHz G5 with 2 GB of RAM. Activity monitor says I have 480 MB of inactive memory and 1.25GB of free memory. Logic uses 300 MB of real memory and 762 MB of virtual memory. No other apps running.
How can I make Logic use ALL the available memory?
Is there a limit on the amount of memory that Logic can address? What is this limit, and how much memory is reasonably motivated for a PM running Logic?
How about plug ins? Do they have separate memory spaces not limited by Logics potential limits? "Drumkit from ****" can by itself use a couple of Gigs of RAM if available...
Thanks in advance!

However in the earlier days, running under Mac OS pre 9.x the ability to allocate memory to a specific application could increase the amount for the song event memory
No, it didn't. It increased application memory, but the song event memory remained the same, just as it does now.
I think, though, that with all Logic's new features, there is more actual data in an equivalent song, so the limit may be coming earlier. (I can't be sure of that though)
I know you don't want to, but did you at least try reducing the undo history size (in prefs) ?
Does deleting undo history and then saving help ?
Another thing to consider, although I don't think it generates warnings like you are seeing, is Virtual Memory. If the computer has been up for a long time, running memory-intensive apps, like Logic, then it can get overloaded (too many pageouts) which can slow things down a lot. If you do notice things getting slower, then restarting the computer will flush the Swap File and get things going again.

Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

Hmm, good luck then!
I'm pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the planet, but I've been to Vermont and remember its rural beauty well. However, I can't imagine you having the only Internet connection within a reasonable radius (where "neighbors" hanging off the same ISP don't count). Uh, that note only if your wired connection to the router produces no good result, either...

THANK YOU

Run Disk Utility.
Select the Mac Partition on that drive (Macintosh HD or whatever you called it)
Click (Repair Disk)
Repeat until it comes clean or gets stuck.

HI, If i have logic pro 9 installed on my mac book, how much is it to upgrade to Logic x?

Hi
It will cost the same as if you did not have Logic 9: there is no upgrade price.
Simply purchase LPX from the AppStore

Logic Pro x installing into multiple macs

By purchasing Logic Pro x, How many different macs can you load it up to?
I have 2 Mac book pros and one IMac . Does purchasing the Logic Pro x once load it into all of my macs?

If you purchase Logic Pro X, you can install it in all your Macs as many times as you want for free.
After purchasing it, it will appear in Purchases, so in your other Macs you just have to open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and download Logic Pro X
