Logic Pro 9 after reinstalling?

Question

Logic Pro 9 after reinstalling?

Hi

I've recently had to erase the hard drive on my Macbook Pro and reinstall Mavericks, which means I've lost all my apps. Most of them appear in the 'purchased' section of the App Store, but not Logic Pro 9. I've tried signing out and signing in again, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm aware that Logic Pro 9 is no longer available to purchase, but given that I bought the app I should presumably be able to access it after a crash?

Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Chris

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Nope, once an app officially hits "End Of Life" with Apple, the support is gone. That includes selling it in the app store. You should have a backup on your system drive, it should be there if you do. But aside from that, no, discontinued items are not supported nor sold.

LP9 is still available via the App store under the Purchased tab so long as.....

1) You bought the App store version originally and not the Boxed Logic Studio DVD version...

and..

2) You are signed into the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase LP9 originally.

If both those are true and it still does not appear, contact Apple directly and ask for assistance...

Hi

I contacted Apple and it turns out that it's a glitch which they're working on - LP9 should be showing up in my purchased folder, but for some reason isn't. They sent me a download link via Attache, I've installed it and it's now working fine. Thanks very much for your help!

Chris 🙂
