    Hi Gaerjunkie! What else are you using apart from Logic 9? 10.7 is not really the way to go - Lion is not a great OS. Mac are not great about hosting legacy OS's anyway. We have Mavericks running all around and it seems fine with Logic 9. Just updating a laptop to Yosemite later and will get back to you about Logic 9 stability. Yosemite is a free OS update BTW

    Thanks for the reply,
    I,m using komplete 6 but may upgrade, trying to get maschine studio up and running i backed everything up last night using timemachine.
    Spent about 45min on the phone to apple last night and the guy told me 10.7 would be better than 10.8, not sure i trust he knows what he's talking about though, anyway i took a chance and ordered 10.7 a few minutes ago (before i saw your post). so confusing if i wasn't so invested in apple i dont think i'd bother again.
    i going to give 10.7 a whirl anyway just want to get jamming on my new toy.
    if it doesnt work i'll try a differnt one i suppose.

    Am still on 10.5.8 on a 2007 machine. The horror stories have stop me updating. alot of Logic issues started popping up on 10.6 so I never really went after it. Had no need really. I have plans to get a new imac in the summer.

    Can you update from 10.5 dirctly to Yosemite or do you need the OSX before?
