First, I need to check if there was an update called 9.1.8. Logic Pro updates usually come with the main version number followed by a minor version. For example, 9.1, 9.1.2, etc. However, I'm not familiar with a 9.1.8 update. The latest update for Logic Pro 9 might have been 9.1.8, but I should verify that. Alternatively, the user might be confused with a different versioning scheme or another software altogether.
I should also think about possible typos or misunderstandings. The user wrote "update 918" which might be a shorthand for 9.1.8. Alternatively, they might be confusing it with another software. The current versioning for Logic Pro uses major and minor versions, so 9.1.8 is more logical than 918 unless it's a build number or something else.
Next, I should consider the current status of Logic Pro. Since it's an Apple product, all versions after Logic Pro 7 were released by Apple after they acquired it from Emagic. The latest version as of 2023 is Logic Pro 10.7, with updates available through the Mac App Store. However, older versions like Logic Pro 9 are no longer supported and don't receive updates from Apple. So, trying to find an update for 9.1.8 might be futile because Apple hasn't provided that update for a long time.
Another angle is piracy. Sometimes people look for free downloads of software that isn't free. Logic Pro is a paid software, and even older versions require a license. Distributing or downloading pirated software is illegal and unethical, so I need to make sure I don't suggest or link to any sites offering free downloads of the software, including updates.
Furthermore, security is a concern. Downloading from untrusted third-party sites can expose users to malware. It's crucial to warn them against this. Also, even if there was a legitimate 9.1.8 update, it wouldn't be available on unofficial sites. Apple provides updates through their own ecosystem, and users need to be cautious.
The user might be under the impression that all Logic Pro updates are free. While Apple does provide free updates for their software within certain support periods, older versions like 9 are well beyond their support lifecycle. Therefore, any legitimate updates would have been available through Apple's official channels at the time, but those are no longer accessible. Additionally, since Logic Pro is no longer available on the Mac App Store, users can only purchase from Apple's online store.
In summary, the user is likely trying to find an outdated update for an old version of Logic Pro that is no longer supported. They need to be informed that free downloads from third-party sites are not safe or legal. The appropriate step would be to direct them to the official Apple website to purchase the latest version or check if they have a valid license for older versions. Since Logic Pro hasn't been updated for over a decade, it's also possible that the user is unaware of the current options available, like Logic Pro X and above, which are more modern and feature-rich.
