Logic 9 with Yosemite

Hi. I bought Logic Pro 9 a few years ago and have been running it on my iMac, which now has OS Yosemite on it and Logic is still running fine. I am trying to install Logic to an old macbook - the late 2009 unibody model - which is also running Yosemite. However, when installing the first disk, it works for a while and then says 'Installation Fails'.

Can anyone shed any light on why it isn't working? I thought it might be because I'm running Yosemite but this doesn't seem to make sense when my iMac is running this. Is it because I'm installing it after installing Yosemite? Is there anything I can do to work out what the problem is?

Any advice on this matter will be greatly appreciated 🙂

Thanks! x

Your Logic Studio disks may be unreadable.... Try making DMG images of them instead and then install from those...

Note: Don't proceed to the burning part.. Just install from the disk images themselves...

or

You are using Logic Studio 2.0 (and not the later 2.01 version) which means you may have to use Pacifist to install Logic Pro 9 from the DVDs.. as the installer for the original version no longer works with modern OS X versions

Additional: Once installed you must update to Logic Pro v9.1.8 using the following link before running Logic for the first time... as earlier versions are unstable/non workable under modern OS X versions..

Logic Pro 9.1.8
