jimmymio Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 After a long hiatus I want to get back to recording. I have an older version of logic 9. I upgraded my 2009 Mac Pro to run High Sierra and now Logic 9 doesn't work. No problem-I was planning to purchase LPX anyway. But now Apple only offers 10.5 which won't run on High Sierra. I'm stuck in the middle. Does anybody know where i can get an older version of 10? Apple support said it was originally released on discs.

Solution des99 Posted June 15, 2020 Solution Share Posted June 15, 2020 When you download it from the App Store, it will give you the latest version that works on your machine - 10.4.8 in your case. However, you might need to be on Mojave+ to actually make the purchase, as I think now the App Store won't let people make purchases on older systems to prevent disappointment with people buying software that won't work. So you can always purchase on a different machine, but download on your main machine. LPX was never released on discs, it's always been App Store only.

jimmymio Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thanks for the suggetion. I'm kinda desparate. I can borrow a mini that runs Mojave but would it not just download the latest version and not even offer me 10.4.8? And if purchased on the Mini, how could i get it to download on the Mac Pro?

des99 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Well, it's exactly as straightforward as you'd think:- - Make the purchase on the Mojave machine. Don't bother downloading, you don't want 10.5. - On the HS machine, log into the App Store, go to "Purchases" and download LPX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymio Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Clever! Let me try that Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymio Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just tried and the msg said "your payment method will be charged and the app will begin downloading immediately." Didn't look like it was giving me the option to postpone download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Well just stop the download if it starts automatically. It's not like you only get one download - once you have made the purchase you can download when and wherever and how often you want... Maybe if this is the first time you've ever made an App Store purchase on any of Apple's platforms you didn't realise this, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymio Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Cool, but if it starts to download the 10.5 version and I stop, would it let me download 10.4.8 when I move to the older computer? Or might it say something like this computer doesn't support this app and disallow the download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 As I said above: "When you download it from the App Store, it will give you the latest version that works on your machine - 10.4.8 in your case." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
