kinesphere Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) hello A few months ago I purchased Logic Pro 9.1.7 from App Store and installed directly to my MacBook Pro. Today I wanted to transfer Logic in to my Mac Pro via App Store too. Before that I had to upgrade to 10.6.8 in order to get access to the App Store from the Mac Pro. My Mac Pro had already installed Logic Pro 8. And this is where the problem starts I guess. I clicked install Logic in the App Store and it seemed that the installation went fine. After (also restarting) I noticed that: 1. the Logic icon on the dock was still saying "Logic Pro 8". 2. When I "get info" from the application, it does state that it is version 9.1.7 3. when I click on the dock icon it actually launches Logic Pro 9 and the application inside is also version 9.1.7 4. when I click to open any of the ready-made templates (explore-compose-produce-etc...), the template opens but in seconds later the screen does something like a rapid light change and the application quits. The only template that works is the empty one. 5. when I try to open a project from file menu (or even via keyb. shortcut) the application quits. 6. I cannot quit the application either via menu or via keyboard shortcut. These are the issues I have noticed so far. Although It looks like I can launch the app if I double click on a previous project in the finder made in version 8. I would really appreciate any insight into this issue.

Eric Cardenas Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi there Lambros and welcome to Logic Pro Help. You can post the crash log here so that we may take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinesphere Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hello Eric Thanx for the reply I found a few crash logs resulting from the frustrating tests I was having yesterday. I compressed the folder with the crash logs because I could not upload them individually. The files were greyed out for some reason. Anyway I hope that helps. Also, do you think that the crash log would give any information on why the dock icon is still showing logic pro 8? And finally, would you suggest to wipe out all logic files and try installing again from the App store? Thanks again logic crash logs.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The dock icon is not a huge deal. Drag it out till it vanishes in smoke then drag a the new one from the Application folder to your dock. I'll take a look at the crash log and see if I can find something.

Eric Cardenas Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I see now that you have attached the crashed logic projects. I meant the LOG! You can open the Console application then navigate to the Logic crash log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinesphere Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 hello again I have done this already. I deleted the dock icon in order to replace it with the new one fro the applications folder but even the icon in the apps flder is still "logic pro 8" Have a look at the attachment Thank you for your time Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I see your problem in the screen shot. Rename the Logic application so it's name is only Logic Pro. Than download and install it from the App Store once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinesphere Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi I changed the name to "Logic Pro" in the applications folder. Although, as expected, the App Store wont let me download it again because it can see that I have already downloaded and installed it. Therefore the "install" button in the app store window is greyed out. See attachment. I guess one sollution would be to totally wipe out logic and then try the App Store install ? I'm only guessing. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 You could just zip the Logic application first as a safety measure. App Store will let you install once it's missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinesphere Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 so what you suggest is to zip the application first for safety and then erase/uninstall from drive? If yes, then what would be the best way to completely erase/uninstall logic? I'm asking cause I've seen several ways and opinions in the forums. Thank you once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinesphere Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I just re-installed Logic Pro 9 from the App Store. 1.When I tried to open one of the templates, the program quits as it used to do before. 2.Still, the "quit command" (menu or keyboard shortcut) doesn't work. I can only quit the application with force quit. This time I'm also posting the Log file which strangely enough includes a message about a missing bundle identifier for office2008. The rest are relevant to Logic's actions. I hope this helps you to get an insight into it. It's getting really pazzling.Sorry for bothering again and again. Than you very much crash log.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinesphere Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 finally I proceeded to a clean install of 10.6.8 followed by a new download of Logic Pro and everything looks to be working fine. Thank you very much for dealing with my topic. Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
