![]() Then I wanted to install on my MacMini so that's why I copied to the external hard drive the following 8 Logic Pro X folders to my external drive and these are the ones I created symbolic links for before I ran the Logic Pro X installer. This is creating the symbolic links which point to my external hard drive which already has the Logic Pro X content and some additional Impulse Responses and 3rd party Apple Loops, running the Logic Pro X installer locally, then 9 addtional pkg installers to update my Status for Outdated and Incomplete content to Installed.īut first you have to have installed Logic Pro X with all it's contents downloaded first, which I did on my MacBook Pro. I explain first, then captured how I now install Logic Pro X on my computer since I do reformat my Mac's from time to time. Plus if Apple decides to update either Logic Pro X or it's content, I'm ready for that as well. ![]() This works because that's what I did and no downloading is required. You can even grab the Logic Pro X installer as well as the addtional missing pkg files (which in my case was 9 pkg files), so now with my content on the external drive, I run a shell script I have that creates the symbolic links, run the Logic Pro X Installer, then the 9 pkg files and now the Status is Installed on all content. Once you do that, everything gets a Status of Installed. So in that case, just download again and only those that say Outdated and/or Incomplete, only those pkg files will get downloaded. So in my case I got in the Download Additional Content dialog box, some Outdated and Incomplete content. The Logic Pro X installer doesn't scan your external drive to see if a pkg is installed or 57+ for that matter, that's what the individual pkg files do, they update the Logic Pro X PLIST file (i think some other files too). If you copy files to an external hard drive from one Mac, then connect that external drive on another Mac and run the Logic Pro X installer on the second mac like I did (Macbook Pro to a MacMini), you know all the content is there but Logic Pro X on my MacMini doesn't know because I noticed the PLIST file for the MacMini was missing receipt entries for the 57+ pkg files that get downloaded in the download content. Click to expand.If you did a full install of Logic with EVERYTHING then decide to move your content to an external drive but all on the same computer, this will not happen. ![]()
