intel based sequences don't open in power pc macs??!!!

[phquist]

I'm running 2 systems between which I am trying to swap sequences.

 

One is a power PC g4 running 7.1, the other a Mac Pro intel running logic 7.2.

 

Much to my surprise, the ntel sequences won't open on the G4.

 

Anyone have a work around other than stems with 2 pops and a general midi

 

sequence?

Why don't you try upgrading the G4 Logic to 7.2?

Yup, you need to save the song in 7.2 on a PPC and then it can open in 7.1 on the PPC.

 

One thing to try (I've never tried): open 7.2 under Rosetta on your Intel, save the song, and see if it opens in 7.1 on your PPC?

thanx:

 

I believe it's an intel issue more than 7.1 vs 7.2

 

I'll try rosetta and get back 2 ya'll

Save yourself the hassle and run the same version of Logic on both machines. Is there a good reason you aren't? I've got both a G5 and an MBP running 7.2.1 and have had zero issues. I transfer files back and forth all the time.

Logic and Intel or PowerPC Macintosh Systems

Logic Pro 7.2 is designed to run natively on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh systems. This impacts in the following ways:

• For technical reasons, all song conversions between Logic PPC and Logic Intel will remove the Undo history.
  
• Songs saved in Logic 7.2 PPC can be opened with any Logic release between 7.0 and 7.1.1, ensuring that PPC Logic 7.2 songs remain compatible with earlier Logic Pro 7 versions and vice versa.
  
• Songs saved in Logic 7.2 PPC can be opened with Logic 7.2 Intel (and Logic 7.2 PPC).
  
• Songs saved in Logic 7.2 Intel can be opened with Logic 7.2 PPC (and Logic 7.2 Intel).
  
• Songs saved in Logic 7.2 Intel can notbe opened with earlier versions of Logic (Logic 7.1.x or earlier). This means that Logic 7.2 Intel songs are only upwards compatible (Logic 7.2 Intel can open older songs but not vice versa).

Note: Should you wish to make Logic 7.2 Intel songs compatible with Logic 7.1.x, simply open the song in Logic 7.2 PPC and save it.
