Yesterday I downloaded Logic Pro 13. Apple advise you to back up (which I didn't) but fail to tell you that Logic Pro 13 only works on Silicon Machines. I have an Intel iMac so now I have no Logic to work on. Apple also fail to allow you to download previous versions (like Adobe do). Such a nightmare. Is there anyone out there willing to share 12.4 with me. I can confirm I have paid for Logic if needed. Thanks.
iMac 27″
Haven't you created a backup before updating? If not...
I see. Logic 9 was available on CD. It seems you've never purchased Logic 10, 11 or 12 from the AppStore, right? You can not update from Logic 9 to 10 and higher. You need to purchase a Logic version from the AppStore for about 200 bucks as a One-Time Purchase. You could also subscribe to the Creator Suite but before doing that, do your own research. I personally don't like subscription models. Until now every update of Logic was free (since around 15 years), but we don't know what apple is planning in the future.
Compatibility is a question of MacOS and processor-type. You may have to buy Logic 13 but a compatible version will or should be (hopefully) installed on your computer.
To be honest, I'm a little bit confused... However, it's a good idea to talk to Apple Support.
Hi - Thanks for your reply. I've tried the above. I can download my first purchase Version 9.1.8 but I need V.12.4. If I download 9.1.8 and try and update it takes me back to Logic Pro 13 - which won't work on an Intel Mac. Do you have 12.4 ?
I bought Logic Pro on 17th September 2012 - see the image attached showing the icon. I have been updating when updates were available ever since - right up to 12.4. - Thanks for your help. I will continue to get Apple to make previous downloads available.
