TheBomb Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi guys, this is my first post (i think), but i've been passively on this forum for a while now and if anyone can shed some light on my situation it'll be here. So, the problem at hand: In my house we have 1 Laptop -Toshiba- (Intel SSE2) and 1 custom PC (intel SSE3), both running Uphuck's 10.4.9 1.4i r3 (the small ISO) and one G4 Powerbook running original 10.4.10. We're all music producers and we've been keen to have a look at Logic Pro 8. As with all the Apple Pro software it requires Apple's Pro Application Support runtime in order to run. I downloaded the 4.0.2 version from Apple and it won't install on any of the three systems (including the powerbook), in each case the problem is the same: it puts a red (!) sign over the disks during installation and says that none of the disks in the system are "eligible for this update": "Cannot install Apple Pro Application Support on this drive. This disk is not eligble for this update" or something similar (sorry not near the problem at the moment, or i'd be more precise). I've googled and not seen anyone else have this problem, but its weird that all of us, with our vastly different systems - including the one mac - would have the exact same problem. I've tried the following to no avail: -re-downloaded the 4.0.2 dmg from apple on other machine in case of corruption. -repaired drive permissions with install DVD and disk util. -tried it on hackintosh 10.4.9 and proper mac 10.4.10 there's no help for this on any forum topic i've seen yet so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on it for me. (i don't mind getting my hands dirty with the terminal if i get clear instructions) thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBomb Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 @fb : nope... it asks for pro app support 4.0 or higher. I've tried finding version 4.0 or 4.0.1 of pro app support in case its a 4.0.2 specific issue but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fb* Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Oh.... I installed Logic from the rip on that torrent site using pacifist, then installed pro app support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mab538 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hey...here's what I did....put Logic 8 directly in the applications folder (not in any subfolders). Then the proapp support file should run. Hope it helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBomb Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hey guys, Thanks! Got it to work. Had a suggestion from goro082 about using Pacifist to intall Pro App and it worked. Logic runs from any location after that. @fb and mab238 - thanks as well! Already had it fixed at this point but if all 3 ways work then the one thing they have in common is to me seems to be a rather silly blunder on Apples part. Seems that Logic checks for Pro App support and Pro App support checks for Logic, so if you didn't have a previous Pro App of any kind (Logic 7, Aperture, Final Cut etc) and hadn't updated your Pro App support accordingly you were screwed. Pacifist seems to just bypass the check for the dependecy in both directions, whether you use it to install Logic first (which from mab's statement seems to be doable without pacifist) or to install Pro App update directly without any pro apps installed.
