Cant update Logic Pro X 10.3

Minimum requirement for Logic 10.3 is El Capitan. I have the same issue and not ready to update yet as everything is working so well with Yosemite.

I can't believe Apple would alienate Yosemite users, but this is Apple after all.

I actually just stopped the upgrade headaches. It's a leap frog game. Upgrade software, bugs, wait it out, next software upgrade doesn't play well on the current hardware, upgrade hardware, New Logic release... bugs, slow... wait it out...ad infinitum.

apple screwed up again . I going a different route no more apple software for my music Daw, Reaper great product

tired of pointless upgrades in OS and APPS

love the hardware but software well outdated , even the pathetic windows 10 graphics look simple and boring

what happened to imagination

Consider yourself lucky, the new "update" has broken basic keystroke commands, many screens (mixer, editor etc.) open only sporadically, the new graphics look lousy.

I wish I had not selected this. I currently can't use the software.

Well I guess I should chime in again considering when I first posted I was still on Yosemite with my 2015 MacPro... long story short I did my research and decided to update to Sierra (of course, I backed up everything in time machine beforehand) and I have not been disappointed. All my third party plugins work perfectly from about 12-15 different company's, big and small, and everything is a go! My interface is in tip top shape and all I can say is if you have a back up disk, do some research on all you plugins and take the leap. I'm only on Sierra 10.12 I didn't update further than that yet. Hope this helps someone

I have been using Logic since it was Notator.. I dealt with the pain of Apple taking over from Emagic. Those were the days when you could call up Dave and just ask a question no problem. Zero call centers.

i am still running 10.4 with Logic 7.2.3, and it is as stable as can be. I have taken the G5 off the internet. I use that machine for a lot a composition. I have my studio built into the environment, with a lot of little tricks here and there that I have created over the many years.

Now I have another Mac on Mavericks, and I don't want to update the OS. I don't care if every computer can sync data after I take a pic or video with my iPhone. These are my workstations, and are not used for hobbie. Once I get them stable they come off the web, and then I use a thumb drive or other media to send out information.

I still ill do not like the way Apple forces system updates for minor software updates.

I wish BeOS would have taken over Logic. That was the underground word back in the day. A devoted OS/music workstation. Like you boot into Logic.

But as time has proven to me over the many years using Apple products.....Updates, latest and greatest and the like can actually set you back, and not move you forward.

If you find someone with a mac capable of running el capitan, but has still snow leopard running, you can get the el capitan installer. Download it from the app store, but don't install yet. Just copy the installer (residing in the app folder) to your machine. Place it in the app folder start it from there. (It will be deleted after install) I would whole heartedly recommend el capitan over yosemite. Yosemite is eating a lot more memory...

if speaking to me...I don't want to upgrade an OS to upgrade Logic. It isn't intuitive to do that. I should be able to just install the libraries needed, and update the application Without all new interfaces, and background services that aren't needed for a music creation workstation.

What are good strategies to upgrade. Of course only if you want to use features not available in the old version, or you hope to get rid of bugs (and hope no new ones are introduced). As long as you have time machine backups you can always give it a try. (Out of luck on Tiger though...;-)

Hardware can and will die though. But there is an option which can rescue old systems: Virtual machines... You would even be able to run PPC programs. VMware and Parallels are almost as fast as the native machine. Imagine setting up a Mac Pro, run Snow Leopard Server and your Logic 7.x. It will be a lot faster than your G5 Heater (keep it running in Winter...)

Such a setup can be maintained along any new machine. And for the nostalgic you can run it in Fullscreen as if Snow Leopard would run native. (Imagine this setup on a brand new retina, and then go to the genie bar at an apple store and ask some Snow Leo questions...;-) Unfortunately there is no OS 9 emulator that can connect to audio hardware...

I've just found out that the logic remote app won't work, because I can't update to 10.3 (also still on yosemite). Now, if i'm recording by myself, I need to run between the mac and the booth. There was surely no need to take away the logic controller compatibility with 10.2.8.

Is there a way to update to El Capitan now that Sierra is out?

Furthermore, with Capitan Apple stopped support Fire-Wire. But I love my Apogee and I do not want to throw it away..

I'm deadlocked 😟

I wouldn't go near 10.3 its full of bugs..cant believe that apple haven't updated it to 10.3.1 and sorted out the bugs...
