rone2him Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Before installing the update:In the Finder, right-click Logic Pro and select Duplicate. This will make a copy named Logic Pro copy. Rename it to Logic Pro 9.1.5 or anything...you might prefer "ski's SEXY Logic"...or just leave it as is. This is what I did, except for the SEXY thing, no neg-infer to ski Everything is okey-dokey here! Sad to hear a few are having bad experience, hope that all gets ferreted out! Very happy to have another upgrade 8) Logic Pro 9 Rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenK Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Are you still on Leopard? Yup. No 9.1.6 for me. I'm also on 10.5.8. Just updated to L9 from L7 a couple months ago. Haven't installed it yet 'cuz I need to clear lots of disk space. So the question is: Where can I get the last L9 update that will run on 10.5.8? (I expect the DVD will be L9.0) Looks like the only update on the apple site is the most current. I'd think as a paying customer, I'd be entitled to a so called "legacy version". Any help about this? Thanks, KenK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 KenK, If you install Logic 9 on a Leopard system, I believe the last applicable update for Logic and Leopard, will show up under Software Updates as normal. One of my clients informed me of this but I cannot confirm it myself as I am already using Lion and Snow Leopard here However, this would seem the logical (sic) way Apple would do it..

Hi Nigel- That makes sense. My hope is that I haven't lost my chance to get the last available version that runs on my system. Guess I better do the install soon. In my experience, once apple stops supporting something, they really stop supporting it. Thanks for your answer. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm typing this from an iMac with 10.5.8 and Logic 9.0.2 (not my main machine). Software Update stopped showing any Logic Pro update at all the day Logic Pro 9.1.6 was released. The Logic Pro 9.1.5 download is no longer available on Apple's site. I can't see any easy way to upgrade this machine other than upgrading the OS first.

(maybe 3-4 years old~ 2007 or '08 ) I guess that will run 10.6, but I'm kind of a "If it aint broke, don't fix it type." I'm still using L7 even though I bought L9! Do you (or anyone here) know the update that will run on a 10.5.8 sys? And of course does anyone have an old dmg file ? Thanks- KenK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Do you (or anyone here) know the update that will run on a 10.5.8 sys? Yes, it's 9.1.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 David, So Software Updates is no longer showing the ability to update to 9.1.5 on a Leopard system? If that's the case, I wonder how my client managed to update his system yesterday... via Software Updates.. Maybe he did it prior to Apple removing it from the Software Updates list.... I wonder why Apple did this? Makes no sense to me given they removed the update from the website too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is their Standard Operating Procedure. They habitually cut "legacy" users out. I'm not at all surprised and expected exactly this when I noticed the 9.1.6 update requires OS 10.6 Anyone have the dmg for Logic 9.1.5?

n6smith Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 KenK, Yes.. I've seen that pattern too but normally they cut them out by not providing an update to whatever the latest and greatest OS version is out.... but I honestly cannot recall them removing earlier updates from Software Update or their website for a specific earlier OS version... I'll take your word they have done so in the past, but I don't remember it happening in the way they have done it this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 David, So Software Updates is no longer showing the ability to update to 9.1.5 on a Leopard system? Correct. This happened on two machines, one with 9.0.2, another with 9.1.0. I wonder why Apple did this? Makes no sense to me given they removed the update from the website too. Maybe to push people to upgrade to 9.1.6, thus to Snow or Lion...? Either case it's quite frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Either case it's quite frustrating. Unbelievably so! I have already had 2 separate clients contact me with this issue this afternoon... One who wants to update now to 9.1.5 and is using Leopard (much like yourself) and one who is having issues with 9.1.6 and wants to go back... I do have a couple of calls in with tech support to see if there is any solution but for now.. nada... No one there seems to know what the 'plan' is behind removing 9.1.5's availability... and more tellingly... no one seemed to realize it had been removed! All I can do is tell my clients to wait or failing that... point them in the direction of google and tell them to hunt for the file named LogicPro9.1.5Update.dmg. There are a few lurking out there... How 'safe' some of those copies will be however, is an entirely different matter.. and i am warning them about that potential issue.

(Which motherboards won't run OS 10.6 ?) I've experienced that in the past. Long time ago my 1st computer had "LCD connectors". I was naive, believed that apple would soon be making a sound card that I could use. Never happened. Over the years I've been "coerced" into buying 2 computers I probably wouldn't have were it not for stuff like that. Not gonna go there again. I love Logic, but Apple lost me as a fan a long time ago. This is just another item in a long list. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeb Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I have the 9.1.5 .dmg and i'd be happy to pass it on but i don't have an FTP site. Maybe i could send it via www.yousendtit.com to someone here who does and they could make it available for others to download? Any thoughts guys?

beej Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The thing is, it's technically not yours to distribute as you see fit (even though it would be legitimately helpful to some folks) and would contravene Apple's legal policies... so it's difficult to endorse this, at least in a public forum...

peeb Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 And just to be off topic for a moment, is it REALLY that unreasonable that Apple sells us amazingly powerful software for an extremely cheap price as a means of encouraging us to buy their Hardware. Frankly, i was surprised when the Freeze function appeared in Logic because it enabled me personally to hang in there with an older, less powerful computer for quite a long time. Pro Tools until VERY recently made you purchase hardware and software Anyway, off topic. Enough out of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big Download button says "External Download Site" on it - ie they are linking to the file from the developers servers. They do not host the files themselves, for the same legal accountability reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
