coco Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hi everyone, I have to reinstall my logic, and my back up (made through time machine) is corrupted. I would like to keep my old version, since I have seen a lot of comments saying that the new version doesn't work well on old machines. (My Mac is from 2012), so I need this old version. Does anyone knows how to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertAnthony Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Theres many topics here asking for older versions of Logic, with the main two answers usually given being: Use the backup version you manually saved in multiple places because once a new version comes out that’s it and there’s no simple way to get that specific version again. If you don’t have a saved copy, ask nicely if someone can send it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just questioning about if that was legit to transfer that software, knowing for instance that often people sell their Mac with all the apps still installed.

RobertAnthony Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 No worries, didn't take it that way. But yeah, there’s the 10.6.3 mega thread for example that turned into a free-for-all thats like: I was tempted to tell OP to just go over there and ask for the version they needed lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 why are there 2 different threads about this? anyway, as i suggested, call apple, and they should be able to get you to an older version of logic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone knows how to get it? Another alternative aside from what was already mentioned would be to identify the last OS X version to support the latest version of Logic that you're trying to acquire and install that OS X onto a separate partition, usb or drive. Then login to the App Store using your Apple ID and it should allow you to download the latest supported version of Logic. Of course, then you'd have to get the OS X which could be a catch 22. But from there you could just transfer it to your 2012 system. Personally I don't think Apple support would be able to assist in provisioning you a copy. At least, that's the impression I've always received from them when it comes to OS X versions that have gone out of support. They'd probably suggest something similar if anything. But you could give them a try. Edited June 23, 2022 by Maestro777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arseny Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Friends, People, Musicians, Producers, I am desperately in need of the version 10.4.8 I have paid for Logic 8 back in the day, I think in 2007 a lot of money. Then I bought the LXP for CHF 200. So, I paid more 1k for this app in total. Now I can not download the proper version for my High Sierra. I still have 10.4.3, but it crashes all the time. The App Store doesn't offer me the version 10.4.8. What a shame. Why is that? Could someone PLEASE help me? Thanks Edited January 26, 2023 by arseny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I’m sorry for your troubles but as stated I don’t know how many times, on how many forum topics, it is not legal to share software.

arseny Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I don't need anything illegal. I just want my 10.4.8 back. Maybe someone here has an idea, a workaround in App Store or similar. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 What version does the AppStore offer you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arseny Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) On High Sierra It went up to 10.4.3. That was the version I could restore from one of my time machine backups. But now I can't go higher, although I know there is 10.4.8 which is also compatible with High Sierra.

arseny Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 App Store says something, "... but you can download a compatible version". And then when I click on it, nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution triplets Posted January 26, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 26, 2023 One thing you can try it to trash the Logic app, but don't empty the trash. Then go to the App Store and re-download. It should give you the latest available version for your OS. It's the only way I know of and it might not work. You can also try logging out of the app store and back in if nothing happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
