SoSpiro Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 ....but when i dragged logic in the trash and went to the apple store to re-install it, the only option available is to BUY it. I definitely do not want to buy the whole program again, but the "re-install" option doesn't appear when i drag my old version in the trash. when i have my old logic in my applications folder, the apple store displays the "installed" icon without any other options. I am hesitant to just click buy now and sign in using my MAC ID as you would understand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Perhaps a call to Apple directly will help you get to the bottom of the situation. Meanwhile, why are you re-installing the program? Is there some situation you had that made you think re-installing was the only option? (Usually it's not, and that's why I'm asking).

ski Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Can you reinstall the instruments without trashing the Logic app itself? Also, I don't want to start referencing things you wrote about in another thread because it's just gonna make this one confusing to read, but I'll just touch on one thing... In your other thread you said that Logic quit unexpectedly. That's definitely not a reason to reinstall the whole program; Logic can quit for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with (say) a flaw in the application's code (as it's written on the HD) that can only be made right by reinstalling. So try (if possible) to reinstall the instruments. They have no connection to (and are not built into) the Logic application itself. The EXS instruments are located in a wholly different location than the Logic app, so I don't think that trashing the app will help you.

SoSpiro Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 yea thats what i was going to do....just reinstall the instruments only, not logic itself. however, when you click re-install in the app store, it should bring up options of what you want to intall (logic app + sound packs & instruments), i was only going to check the instruments. i only said re-install logic because essentially it is the same process if i am re-installing from the store. thanks though, i guess im gonna give apple a call...

Scott Jackson Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I never liked the idea of downloading software that you buy. I much prefer having the discs to work with. Now, from many posts I've read on this forum, my stance is even stronger. I hate the idea of buying software and not getting the physical discs. Seems like a lot of hassle to me.

ski Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Couldn't agree more. It's a business model that's only good for the seller, not the consumer. SoSpiro, please post back after speaking with Apple and let us know what they had to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlogic Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 ....but when i dragged logic in the trash and went to the apple store to re-install it, the only option available is to BUY it. Try holding down the Option key when selecting the Purchases tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
