How do I download additional content (loops)?

Many of the loops in my GarageBand library are not downloaded. I click on them and choose "download now", and nothing happens. If I click on them again, it says they are being downloaded and to check the software update app. I check that, and it says "no new updates". So how to I get all of the loops?

I would recomend removing (Deleting) Mainstage and re-install from the App store, keep in mind the initial install is about 2-3 GB download, and then the additional content is about 30 GB.

How do I Download Additional Content

Hi...I've got a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion fully patched and updated. I'm not usually a Mac user but I'm fairly comfortable with it when I do...I know enough to be a Power User. I purchased/downloaded Mainstage 3 today. It prompted me after the install to Download Additional Content but I had to restart due to some other updates I was running so I just figured I'd be able to do it when I was finished with the restart.
Now, when Mainstage is open, I go to the MainStage 3 menu and the option for Download Additional Content is grayed out. Why is that. What am I missing. I figure I'm just missing something easy. I've perused the various support forums and manuals and haven't figured out why. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Can't download some of the additional contents from the loops in Logic Pro x, whenever I download additional contents it takes it's time to download but then when I quit Logic and start it again, the loops still can't be selected, they aren't getting downloaded, what's the solution ?

Just click loops , on the top of the panel click loops, and select "reindex all loops".

Downloading additional content on OS X 10.10

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange situation with Logic Pro X 10.0.7 on OS X 10.10 regarding additional content.
I'm quite sure that I have selected everything in the "Download addition content" when I started my download and I think this screenshot confirm my theory:
As you can see if I presse "Select All Uninstalled" button nothing is selected, so it seems that everything is already downloaded and installed, but as I click on one of this content the button "Install" turn enabled and if I click it would start downloading it!
Moreover if I open some song I get a warning that there are contents that are missing and have to be downloaded. For example "Standby House Beat" loop and "Euro Basic Beat" loop are missing (I know since I got in one of my songs).
Are you experiencing the same problem?
Thank you.

I've tried to reindexing the loops as you suggest, but I still missing some loops! So for example when I open my song the loop "Euro Basic Beat 4" is missing while "Euro Basic Beat 2" is available.
I don't how to solve and I would like to avoid downloading everything again!!!
All loops and instruments seem to be downloaded now:
So what can I do?
Thank you.

How do I install additional content for Illustrator

I'm having a similar issue. I successfully installed the CS 6 Suite from the .exe and .7z file pair, but there are two additional files, Illustrator_16_Content_LS16.exe and InDesignFamily_8_Content_ALL.exe, that were part of the download package from adobe.com. Aftre the CS6 install, I moved on to these two files. They extracted their contents to the Deskop into Illustrator and InDesign folders, respectively, and then nothing further happened. There is no Setup.exe in either folder, so I'm wondering if I'm supposed to move the contents of each to the appropriate program folder in Program Files. Any ideas on I should proceed? Were the 2 .exe files silently picked up by the CS 6 Suite install and the extracted folder contents are already installed appropriately?

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum. You may also want to post your inquiry to the InDesign forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_general for how to utilize the additional content available for that program.

"Download Additional Content" Does Nothing?

I've been using a trial of FCPX for a while and today I went ahead and purchased it from the App Store.
One of the first things I did was go to the FCPX menu and choose "Download Additional Content," but all this does is take me to the Updates section of the App Store where I am informed that there are no updates.
What's going on here? Do I already have the additional content just by installing FCPX? If so, how can I verify that I have the additional content?
Thanks in advance for your help.

For anyone who has this problem in the future: just wait, and the update will eventually show up in the Updates section of the App Store. I had installed FCPX to my MacBook Air to see if I could get the "Download Additional Content" to work there, but it didn't. However, this morning (almost 24 hours later), I have a notification in the App Store that the Supplemental Content 1.0 update is ready to install. Lesson learned.

Downloading additional content appears successful, but nothing has actually installed

I have been trying to download all the additional content for Logic for the past week. Initially, I began downloading everything together. This resulted in windows popping up saying 'download not successful' or 'unable to complete download'. Subsequently, I started downloading the packages a few at a time and this seemed to work perfectly. Although it took a long time, the download completed, and upon entering my password, began installing the new content. However, none of the new content has been updated in my Logic library. It simply cannot be found.
This is extremely frustrating. I need Logic for my work and changed to this software after hearing so many good things about the product. Downloading additional content should not be this difficult.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a mill

Erik,
I think it refers to... if you move the Logic Pro App to a different drive... after install.. as I found out last week with one of my clients... who couldn't find the additional content after install.
I don't believe you can actually install Logic from the App Store, to a different drive other that the system drive.. But you can move it.. after install..and run it.. but with all the various issues including updating incorrectly etc.. that doing that can cause!

Trying to download additional content for Logic Pro X. My download status is 26.6 GB of 26.6 GB, but Logic will not move any further, not matter what I do. Any suggestions?

Thanks rhoydotp,
The download was actually the successful part! I had no issues with it timing out or anything. My problem was the actual install, after the download was complete. The installer just stopped about a quarter of the way up on "Alternative Kits" and never made it to any of the other kits. I think I'll try installing them one at a time like you said, and see what happens. Hopefully it works!

Logic Pro and downloading additional content trouble.

I just downloaded the latest Logic Pro and opted to download all additional content. Some of the content that finished downloading would ask for my password to finish the download and others would say "cannot be completed" or something like that... When I'm in Logic Pro, if I want to use "Electo-trance" drums, it cannot be found. Did I do something wrong? also, I have 650g of space and computer is only used for school work.

There is another possible fix that I have just been made aware of, thanks to Apple Tech Support...
Go into Energy Saving in System preferences.. and temporarily move the two sliders (for screen sleep and computer sleep) to never, uncheck "Put hard Drives to sleep whenever possible" and then download additional content..
When the downloads are complete, put back these settings to their original state...
For some people this has provided another way of avoiding the 'timeout' if it has not been caused by an ISP's max file limit rule...

I am having trouble downloading additional content.

I am having trouble downloading additional content.I t gets about 1/4 the way complete then freezes and says that it can't download the content and to check the internet connection. Checked internet connection numerous times with other devices as well as with the provder and there is nothing wrong with the connection. I have even tried streaming music at the same time I try to download the content and it still disconnects while the streaming has no problem.
Any Help?

... doublechecking to see if I'm reading your tags right, Sexy ... are you getting an error 2 when you go to launch iTunes after the install?
If so, is it saying that Apple Application Support cannot be found?
What Windows OS are you using? XP, Vista or 7?

How to download additional content for Logic Pro 9

Hey everyone,
I have just purchased Logic Pro 9 and I was downloading all of the Jam Packs available. However, I downloaded most of the Jam Packs until I was forced to restart my computer. Now, I have three Jam Packs left that have not downloaded and I was wondering how do I get back to the screen that tells me which ones I have yet to download? I have searched through the application and have yet to find it. Can someone please help me out?
Lots of thanks!
Brian M.

Here's a way to download the additional content and save it somewhere so you don't need to download it again:

Unable to install downloaded additional content in Windows 8

I am trying to install additional content for Premiere Elements 10 running Windows 8. I downloaded the additional content and when I extract the file, the Installwizard pops up and says; the installwizard will allow you to 'remove' Premiere Elements 10 Content from your computer. The only option is to click 'next or 'cancel'. If I click next, it says you have chosen to remove the program and the only option given is 'remove', 'back', or 'cancel'. How do I install it?

Hi Robert,
Is Windows 8 on a Surface Tablet or desktop/laptop?
If Tablet, this platform is not supported. No ETA on when a version will be released to support this.
If desktop/laptop, then you need to update your video driver by visiting the website of the manufacturer, i.e. Intel, nVidia, ATI, etc. The latest video driver cannot be obtained by using the Microsoft update tool. These drivers are usually generic and/or not the latest.
Once installed, this error should go away.
If installed and you still get the error, then this means your video card is unsupported and you will not be able to use this software.
