Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to go about re-installing osx without doing away with logic permantely. By that I mean; Is there a correct procedure for uninstalling logic? Is there anyway I might somehow erase and not be able to re-install logic? I'm new to logic and macs in general, and I've been told the best way to optimize hardisk space is by re-installing osx and to only run the applications that I'll need. This sounds correct, however, I have no idea where to begin. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

That seems reasonable. Do you know if there is a specific "uninstall" process or will moving items to the trash then emptying the trash handle the task?
What brought all of this on was an article I read on electronic musician's web site. It was all about getting the most out of OS X when using a computer as a DAW. I started wondering if slimming down my system would improve logic's performance. As I said, using microsoft word, web browsing, and itunes are the only applications I will be using outside of logic. That's not to say I don't like having the others around, but if they are compromising logic, then I would have no problem letting them go. If manualy deleting unused programs generated the same results as an install, I'd rather do that. What would you do? |
