HaHaha....HeHeHe...

I was looking last week and nearly bid for one they were so cheap!

And then I thought...."Why"?

It would be nice to have one that worked so I can use Platinum on the PC for quick scoring.

 

Anybody know how to get Jazz font working in L 8?

Try Logic,or emagic,oe variaitions.

actually, now that I think about it, logic stopped supporting my dongle a while ago. They dont support my blue dongle anymore. They only support the white apple dongle. But I wonder whats their policy now that logic 8 is dongle less? I saw another post here where someone was desperately asking for a logic 7 cross grade cd. shocking you cant get them anymore. god forbid my dongle breaks, and I would have to use logic 8. I use logic 8 at one of the studio I work at now, but thats because they dont have 7. If I can get a used dongle, I can then install 7 there, I work much faster in logic 7, clients have been complains that I have been a little slower at the new studio, I used logic punch in alot and was used to it but 8 is different, I understand it had a punch in bug, does anyone know if this has been fixed in the 8.0.1 update?

 

 

Its better to have 2 dongles, incase one breaks. Do all the dongles support the PC version of logic? I know I have the PC version because when i got logic during the crossgrade I got logic 5 for PC for $300, then apple did a free mac cross grade, so it was great, only spent $300 on logic platinum for PC and MAC!

Ok here is the info.

 

Spent quite a while speaking to an Apple guy.

 

He says this has been quite an issue for them right now.

 

As it stands, you still have to pay the £65 to replace your dongle, BUT they are raising the matter in a meeting in the next week and Apple may be changing their policy for the following reasons:

 

Everybody that has upgraded from a previous will ALWAYS need their original dongle if they wish to re-install. This will be quite a headache for apple and it's users; for apple because as they only have to start ordering a few dongles here and there, they will be in short supply, they have to pay to send them out AND the dongle will end up costing them more because they are not ordering so many as if they were still in full time use as with 7 and below; for the user because they have to always know where their dongle is, it could end up costing even more than £65 for a replacement AND it's a pain in the arse.

 

Anyway, to the point, the guy advised me to call up at the very start of next year to see what the apple decision on this matter is. He said at first Apple's policy was DONGLE, DONGLE, DONGLE but now they are seeing how it might be a lingering problem for them. The rep couldn't give me any details of exactly how they intend to solve the problem, but as i said I will speak to them in the next 2 weeks to see what the outcome of the meeting are ;)

 

Hope that has helped some people.
