Logic 11 doesn't open Logic Pro x files

My 2016 Macbook suddenly died. Now a new 2024 Mac mini M4 (macOS 15.3) with Logic 11(.1.2).

Issue: all my Logic projects made with Logic Pro X cannot be opened Message is that the "the file is not in the correct format". Setting Logic in Rosetta mode doesn't help.

Does anyone have a solution?

Mac mini (M4)

Hi,

Not a direct answer but a probable workaround is to "Import Projects" from Logic Pro X sessions to Logic Pro 11 projects: To import a Logic Pro project from another Logic Pro project, you can use the File menu to import Logic Projects.

~ThatLogicProGuy

Import Logic Projects

Select File > Import > Logic Projects
Click All Files in the Browser
Find and select the project you want to import from
Click Import
Select the data you want to import by selecting the checkboxes
Click Add to add the selected data to your current project

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Upon clicking Import an error message states that the format of this project is not compatible with this Logic Pro version.

I just can't believe that Logic 11 is not backward compatible to Logic Pro x.

Since the laptop was used from early 2017 until end of 2024 the versions probably were 10.5 through 10.7. The latest MacOS the device could run was Big Sur. I think most projects probably were stored in 10.6 versions.

thanks
