ghost notes Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hello. My friend has a fairly new version of logic Pro on his fairly new MacBook, the Mac was bought from Apple and had Logic pre-installed. He recently picked up some Trogan virus and his I.T people have suggested moving all his files and doing a factory reset. Does anyone know if this will delete Logic and all other software/programs? And of so, is it possible to reinstall it from the app store once his laptop has been reset? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 There is no such "factory reset" procedure like on a phone as such. They either mean, reinstalling macOS (which won't affect your existing files and software), or they mean wiping your drive completely and reinstalling macOS (which will delete everything on it and you'll lose your apps and files.) Yes, if Logic was purchased from Apple under your Apple ID, you should be able to re-download it from the App Store if you need ti. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost notes Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Ok brilliant, thanks. I'm not sure but I'm assuming he meant the latter, deleting everything. But he has his apple ID login info, so I'm hoping that will work. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost notes Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Sorry for the naivety, so does this also mean every other app that was there, like iMovie, Word, ect will be able to redownload as well? Sorry if this sound alike a silly question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Yes, any app that was purchased on his Apple ID will be able to re-download from the App Store as many times as he wants to and on any Mac that he logs onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
