MAJ Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hello, Can I install Logic 9 Pro from external HDD, or different computer during the ethernet, please? How to do this? I have the Mac mini without the CD/DVD drive. Thanks a lot! Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You could make a disk image using disk utility, and place it on an external HD, connect it to your Mac mini and use that to install Logic on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 +1 Which is indeed what i had to do too... I simply made Disk Images of each of the DVDs onto an external HD and then installed from that HD... to my internal HD. I found that it actually took less time to make the images onto an external HD and install from them than it usually does installing directly from the DVDs themselves............. Also, once you have got Logic installed (and any other vital 3rd programs and data) I'd also then make a Carbon Copy Clone of your System HD to an external HD so if you ever need to install again from scratch, you can do so quickly and easily without having to go through all this again.

CCTMusic Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hi Mac's which do not have a DVD drive can use the built-in Remote Disc function to share a drive in a computer on the same network. On a Mac 'Slave', enable DVD/CD Sharing in the Sharing Preferences CCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJ Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks guys! I copied the installation folder (which is hiden) from the original disc to the internal HDD. It works. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
