: If you have a newer, incompatible version of Logic in your Applications folder, move it to the trash (you do not need to empty it) or zip it as a backup .
This means you are trying to download Logic on a newer Mac (M1/M2/M3 chip or macOS Ventura/Sonoma). You cannot run Logic 10.5.1 on these machines easily; Apple forces you to use the latest Logic version for security and compatibility.
Many websites claiming “Download Logic Pro 10.5.1 for free” are distributing . These files often contain malware, trojans, or keyloggers. Additionally, using cracked software violates Apple’s terms of service and may lead to system instability or legal liability.
Note: If no dropdown appears, it means your macOS version is either too old to support 10.5.1 or too new (Apple forces the latest version on new OS installs).
