'Basic Content Download' Problems

Hi, I've got a fairly average broadband internet connection and the 'basic content download' page that loads before you open your first session has been taking hours.  The progress bar on the bottom doesn't even appear, let alone move.  Should I keep waiting or is there a fix?

No.. not OS X.. but Logic itself.
A new version was released that has a fix for 'stalling' downloads.. That version is v10.0.1. You may have actually downloaded 10.0.0 and didn't get the newer 10.0.1 version depending on when you started the process as 10.0.1 was released very recently. You can check by going to the Logic Pro X Menu bar and selecting Logic Pro X/About Logic Pro X. The version number is located just below the large Logic Pro X Title in the  'silver' window that opens..
If it says 10.0.0 then quit Logic and go to the App Store application and select Updates and download the updated 10.0.1 version..
If you have 10.0.1 then, make sure you have turned off any firewalls such as Little Snitch for example.
Other than that... it's hard to say what your issue might be.. in which case, contact Apple directly for more personal help..

  • Mainstage 3 installation hangs at "Basic Content Download"

    I purchased Mainstage 3 today from the App Store. I am attempting to install it on a MacBook Air (mid-2011 model). I have upgraded to current Mtn Lion OS. I have 30 GB of free disk space. The app has downloaded but it's trapped on the Basic Content Download dialog. It forever says "Installing..." but there is no activity in the progress bar. I have tried:
    1. Canceling install. Restarting. Trying install again.
    2. Canceling install. Throwing out Mainstage from Applications folder. Restarting. Trying install again.
    3. Canceling install. Signing out of App Store. Restarting. Signing back in to App Store. Trying install again.
    4. Canceling install. Signing out of App Store. Throwing out Mainstage from Applications folder. Restarting. Signing back in to App Store. Trying install again.
    I'm officially out of ideas, short of taking it to the Genius Bar, which I don't want to have to do if I can help it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I went though this until I deleted the app and re download it from App Store.
    The biggest problem here is that progress bar.  It honestly tells you nearly NOTHING.
    Even IF your samples are downloading, you may not know it because the progress bar WILL HANG while it is actually working.
    You need to give it an hour before you know it has failed, and that is on a 3Gb Internet connection.
    When the samples have downloaded, the progress bar will go to about 75% and appear to hang again.  This is the point at which the big bundle of files has been completely downloaded.  Now your computer, Air in this case, has to decompress them all and move them where they need to go.  THIS CAN TAKE ANOTHER 20 MINUTES (depending on what else your Mac is doing and the state of your storage--EVEN ON SSD), and you need to watch for when it starts, because you have to authenticate yourself as an administrator for the OS to write to the /Library folder where much of what you downloaded is going.  If you fail to give an administrator password,  eventually the installer will tell you it failed, when you could have stopped the failure by authenticating.
    Thank GOD this only has to be done once.  If you are a logic user, or Garage Band for that matter, you can also use those programs to download the critical content and then MainStage will start normally.

  • HT1338 My basic content download wont complete for my logic pro?

    My basic content download wont complete for my logic pro?

    Same thing is also happening is Logic Pro X... but I have not seen or found links to the new Logic Pro X additional and basic content downloads.
    ART OF NOISE helped with Logic 9 by offering up the following :
    However, to resolve this... use these external links and download and then install all the essential and additional content instead.

  • Logic content download problems

    HI,
    The content download will not complete. Has anyone had the same problem? Help needed!

    It's now worked!
    not letting the Mac go to sleep or screensaver seemed to stop the problem.

  • Premiere Elements12 "Online Content Download" problem ?

    Using Win7 64bit and have Adobe Creative Suite 4 Premium including Premiere Pro CS4 operating on same PC without any problems. Recently purchased from Adobe and downloaded PE12 as an upgrade from PE8.  Previously Premiere Elements 8 and CS4 operated same computer without problems
    On each occasion after I open PE12 and attempt to drag a audio or graphic file into the timeline, the programs stops to download an 18meg "online content download" before the audio or graphic file becomes active (after download) but only so long as  the program remains open. Have tried reinstalling PE12, same problem repeats.

    You can get All the Content of a particular category using the Download All option after you right click one of the thumbnails. Then it is a matter of whether or not you want to wait for the processes to complete with the project or opened or download in background with project opened.
    I have not found one button for a Download All and then wait for that to happen in the background or otherwise for All the categories including Instant Movie, Titles & Text, Audio, and Graphics. It has been one category at a time, re-starting the process to be described.
    Details if necessary.....
    Two prime factors in Content download and specifically the movie menus...
    a. Internet speed
    b. Status of Adobe Server
    What particular movie menu are you trying to download? All those questions being asked, please review the following being presented just to establish a baseline and try to address your question
    How do I tell PE12 to go get all of the content in one go or does it just do that in the background?
    In Premiere Elements 12, under Titles & Text Tab there are the choices for that category. You select the one you want and right click the blue ban at the top right of the selected thumbnail. From the pop up, you select Download Now or Download All.
    If I select Download All, I have found that All is referring just to the Content choices under Titles & Text and not all the categories that require this type of download, like Instant Movie, Titles & Text, Audio, and Graphics.
    When I select Download All, I get the following....
    If I click Yes, then I get
    And, I select Download in background if I wish to do something else while the process completes. Can take hours depending on Internet connection and Adobe server and Content to be downloaded.
    (I selected Titles & Text for this demo since I had already done the download for Tools/Movie Menu.)
    You wrote
    am unable to burn a DVD with any of the themes as they all seem to be stuck in some sort of "busy" grey rotating wheel state
    Have you looked at closing your large project (with Tools/Movie Menu left at no menu - Reset if you have applied the one menu that comes with the program without download required)
    Opening a new project and doing nothing but going to Tools/Movie Menu and doing the Content download using Download Now for the immediate need or Download All? Close out of that program...does not need to be saved. Open your large project and apply your movie menu.
    Does any of that work for you?

  • Logic Pro X - Basic Content download not complete

    Asks for password after about a quater of the 2 GB is downloaded.  Then next time I start Logic Pro X it starts to download basic content again. Is there a link I can download these new files from? I could never get it to work in the old version either...
    Thanks'

    I'm still stuck and it's getting annoying.
    I've manualy installed the core audio package (2GB) and after that it started just fine. However, after rebooting it aks if I would like to resume 'essential sounds...' package. Not the core but essential?! Anyway, I said resume, assuming it's some extra instruments wich I might not have in my legacy library, but it's been toasting my HD for over an hour now and I have no clue what it is actually doing.
    The activity monitor shows 'com.apple.musicapps.MAContentInstallation' running at 110% CPU. and my HD is morse coding me all kinds of messages...
    Is this package an extra package that I should continue to, uhm, download/install?? Or is this a glitchy thing that makes me wanna go back to Logic9 again?
    Any help or info would be very appreciated, thanks!

  • Mainstage basic content download does not complete

    Hi,
    I bought Mainstage yesterday. I have tried 4 times to dowload the basic content (ie. opening the program). It gets about 3/4 of the way, and then tells me that it failed and to check my internet connection.
    Thanks.

    Tried another time and sat in front of the computer the whole time. Worked - my only guess is that it was asking for my computer password to finish the install and then went to sleep after a while. Hope this helps others.

  • Video content download problems

    For the last one week or so, I am having problem downloading video. This is what happens:
    1. It goes through the download, completely.
    2. Then it say "processing file"
    3. At this point, it starts up the whole process of downloading all over again.
    I am not having this problem with video podcasts, only TV movie, it seems.

    I can't say for sure that this will help, but try upgrading to iTunes 7.1.1, which is the most current version, and see if that improves matters.
    Good luck.

  • Every time i try to open logic pro 9 this box opens to download basic content that logic wants to update. i tried 3 times, and it does finish, but when i go to open logic again, box reappears. Can anyone tell me how to fix?

    Can anyone help me? Every time i try to open logic pro 9 i get a box telling me logic wants to download a 2G basic content download, but even when it completes, on trying to open Logic it re-appearres and I cant get into Logic.Doesn't appear in downloads, very confusing!!

    Try manually downloading and then installing the additional content using this link instead....
    http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
    Note: For anyone else reading this.. This link is for the additional content for Logic Pro 9 and not for Logic Pro X.
    Remember to quit Logic Pro 9 prior to installing any additional content files.
    If you find you have problems downloading the files from this link you may need to also use JDownloader 2 beta to help you...
    http://jdownloader.org/download/offline
    Despite the warning notice that it is a Beta product, it works very well... Just remember you have to install Java first, if you haven't done so already.

  • Having trouble downloading the basic content

    havingh trouble with  downloading the basic content of main stage 3 at the end of the  download it keeps saying something about Internet connection i tryed two different Internet places. my house and the apple stores as well did the same thing.

    It definitely wasn't a space issue for me. I have about 600 gigs of free space. I finally got everything installed, it just took many, many tries. The good thing is that whatever was downloaded appeared to stay downloaded. I didn't have to start from scratch every time.
    But now I'm having other issues. After playing for a few minutes, I get distortion, even in clean settings, along with intermmitent popping and some of the accompanying CPU spikes I've seen referenced in other places on these forums.
    I'm hoping the noise issues are related to my troublesome US-800 and that when Santa brings my MOTU Audio Express, all will be better.

  • Cannot Download Logic Pro 9 Basic Content

    Hey there!
    I reformatted my Mac for a clean install and then installed Logic Pro 9 which I had already purchased. After the installation when I launched the program it started dowloading the "Basic Content" which is around 2GB. My interent connection was fine but it said "Logic could not complete the download" or something to that effect. What on earth is wrong?? :?

    Timmy,
    That sounds like either....
    You have a corrupted image... so try downloading again
    or..
    Something else you have installed on your Mac is interfering with the installation process in some manner. Do you have any 'so called' Anti Virus software running for example.. or an uninstall tracker maybe? If so disable or uninstall such things and try installing again..
    Finally...
    Remember to make sure that Logic Pro is NOT running when you install extra content...

  • Logic Pro 9.1.7 shuts down when installing the basic content

    I downloaded Logic Pro 9.1.7. from the Mac App Store 3 days ago and it still doesn't work. It is always downloading the basic content (2GB), but when it is finished downloading and starts installing, Logic Pro shuts down without any warning or anything and when I try to open it, it starts downloading the basic content again. What can I do, to install the basic content?

    Well, I don't have the plugins so I don't have the issue, but it sounds to me like you should contact the alliance... seems like the plugins are the problem, not the DAW.

  • Logic Pro x - additional content downloads and installs but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. Where is the add'l content downloaded and how do I activate on Logic Pro X?

    The additional content downloads and installs, but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. I cannot find the "Library" folder where this additional content is  downloaded to and can't seem to activate the new loops and instruments in my Logic Pro X (i.e. loops are still greyed out). Any solutions?

    similar problem that I'm hoping revives this thread. Took over 24hrs to dload additional content (after another full day for the actual problem) due to a bad dload rate. so quitted, and relocated closer to my wifi router. Restart, open logic x, Menu bar:  Logic Pro/ Download Additional content ...Tells me i have no internet connection.... Ahh... I do, I'm using it right now! Tried restarting and relaunching. same thing every time.
    Any clues?
    This whole apple upgrade has been so disappointing! All i wanted to do was reinstall logic 9! $2500 later and I'm still struggling. ***!

  • Additional content downloads in Logic not showing up in library

    I am trying to download and install the additional content downloads in Logic which from what I understand includes Jam Packs. I have downloaded and installed everything multiple times but cannot see it appear in the Logic library and cannot use them. Help!
    Message was edited by: trenten7
    I'm not sure how to delete a thread (if you can), but it now works. Logic had to "Index" and restart, and they now appear in library. Good luck to anyone else who searched for answers with this problem!

    Nancy O- thank you for your responses and particularly the information about serverside includes.
    On your second post, you point out correctly that the link to the image is through the Library/images.  That is exactly how the library item appears in the code in my web page.
    Further, the code in the library file appears and is saved as  "images/picture-dot-png" but when it the library item is inserted into html code it appears "Library/images/picture-dot-png".
    Perhaps I am missing an intermediate step?  Are the library items compiled in some way?
    I'm willing to take a look at server side includes, but I'd sure like to get my dreamweaver working right.
    Thanks again.
