How do I purchase mainstage as a new user with a new mac book pro

I have a new mac book pro which I purchased with the intention of aquiring MainStage. I keep being directed to MainStage 2 for £21.00 which seems very cheap and I suspect is an upgrade to MainStage v1 (if there is such a thing). Where should I start in getting this software - the app store I assume?
I have successfully paid for and downloaded Mainstage 2, this then went on to attempt to download 2GB of Basic Content, however, after 2 hrs of downloading it informed me 'download failed', againI suspect as I have only downloaded the update as opposed to the full program. Any ideas/guidance out there?                     

Yes you were quite right. That has got to be the purchase of the century. Bearing in mind back in 1989-90 I purchased 2 Roland Modules - a D110 and a U110, they cost me £450 each! Plus £150 for a 'shock-proof' double skinned rack, £150 for 16 channel line mixer and finally £350 for an Alesis Quadra-verb unit.
You might be able to help me with a further question now it's all up and running - some of the voicings in the folders in the instrument libraries appear to be empty - is this extra content that we have to purchase or is it simply that my macbook has yet to download the remaining content?
Any guidance would be very helpful.
And yes, I'm loving MainStage already.
Cheers

  • I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?

    I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?
    I have tried bootcamp and have had no luck due to the fact that boot camp doesn't see the additional HDD space of 250Gb. What am I not doing?

    Ouch, well there is a problem.
    This is the stack of partitions on your old drive
    EFI (hidden)
    Lion (50GB say)
    Bootcamp (50GB say)
    Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
    This is the same stack on your new drive imaged from the old one.
    EFI (hidden)
    Lion (50GB say)
    Bootcamp (50GB say)
    Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
    Emtpy Space (100GB say)
    This is what you want
    EFI (hidden)
    Lion (100GB say)
    Bootcamp (100GB say)
    Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
    EFI has to be at the top of the drive and Lion Recovery has to be at the bottom of the drive.
    And you only have four partitions.
    You can't move the Lion Recovery Partition or Bootcamp partiton, however you can expand the Lion Partition into empty space below it. (but can't delete or move the Lion Recovery partition)
    Your Duplicator duplicated perfectly, too perfectly Likely would work with same sized drives/partitions.
    This is what your going to need to do.
    You need to move the Bootcamp partition to a blank external drive using WinClone and disconnect. This is so you have two backups of it. (one on your old 500GB drive)
    You will need a drive enclousre or IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable for the older 500GB drive and option key boot from it. (some enclosures can't be booted from so check first Other World Computing is good place to ask)
    Download the free Carbon Copy Cloner, grab any new files off the new 750GB internal drive to the old 500GB your booted from.
    Open Apple's Disk Utility and Erase with Zero option the entire internal 750GB drive and let it rip, this will map off as many bad sectors and improve reliability.
    Now use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 500GB Lion + Lion Recovery Partitions to the internal 750GB, it will "fix" things and place Lion Recovery at the bottom of the drive where it belongs, give all the extra space to OS X Lion.
    Next your going to have to follow WinClones instructions to restore your Bootcamp, likely you will have to recreate the Bootcamp partition first (in Bootcamp) to the size you want and then clone. Likely Winclone may "fix" Windows to recognize it's in a new larger partition now. I don't know you'll have to check as I haven't used it.
    When Bootcamp creates the partition it will place it near the bottom next to the Lion Recovery Partition.
    As you know you will have to re-validate Windows with Lord Redmond or it expires as you changed the hardware.

  • How do you change an used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    How do you cange a used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    plug your ipad to your computer, open your itunes, click on the ipad icon, at the first page there is an option to "restore" ipad to its factory settings, click it. Don't remove USB connection, wait until it finishes wiping the data and it should place a new window that asks you to register the ipad.
    There you go, your iPad is sync with your itunes account under your name, its best to also use "Find my iPad" just in case it gets lost, you can track it from your computer. Very handy tool and its free!
    But if you want the data that is in the iPad, back up it first and sync the content to your library before restoring it to its factory settings
    Have a great day and enjoy your iPad

    Are you recovering Lion or later Time Machine backup with a Lion or later machine?
    If you are, then use this article:

  • How do I burn an iMovie using a bus super drive for mac book pro

    I have a new mac book pro using the maverick operating system.  I also have a ubs super drive.  I am trying to burn an i movie to the dvd to be shown on a dvd player. It is saving as a mp4 and will not play in the dvd player.  How do I save the movie to play it in a dvd player.
    Thanks

    For that you need iDVD. If you don't have it:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • How to transfer photos from iphoto 09 on iMac to iphoto on Mac Book Pro

    This is my first posting as I have tried unsuccessfully to find an answer to my query in the many answers to questions already posed.
    I have an iMac and recently my girlfriend bought a Mac Book Pro. Whilst I have managed to transfer my music library to her Mac Book Pro using the new sharing facility in the latest version of iTunes, I have been unable to transfer the photos which I have on my Mac in iphoto 09.
    Any help, advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance.
    Best regards
    EDIT: Just realised that I have posted this in iPhoto 08 instead of iPhoto 09 - I hope someone can still help!

    Many thanks for your reply Terence
    I understand what you mean, but would you be so kind as to explain how I should connect the machines. At first, I thought that some form of double ended USB may do it, but when I spoke to someone at work, they suggested a cross over ethernet cable.
    Your advice would be appreciated.
    Thank you once again

  • Brand new out of the box Mac book pro won't go past register country screen. esc starts voice over, cannot click or enter to go to next set up screen. Help!

    I have a new Mac book pro, powered up, won't go past welcome, choose country screen. VoiceOver works, I can use arrow keys to toggle up and down country list, but the continue button arrow will not work. Pressing enter makes an error tone. Tried everything to select country and proceed through setup, no luck. Supposed to be first Mac, present for my wife. So far not impressed!

    I just purchased my first Mac last night and also had the same problem.  You have to press down on the track pad to hear it click.  After you get it all setup you can set the track pad up for "touch" clicking.  Hope this helps.

  • HT1386 Hi when I sync me new iphone 4s to my mac book pro everything is copying across except my contacts, I can see them on the computer in my address book but they will not copy across

    Hi
    When I sync my new iphone 4s to my mac book everything moves across apart from my contacts, I have cleared the phone and started again but it will not work.

    Hello Grant - -Thanks - -
    I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
    (small world)
    Not really certain what you are telling us  - - I am not good at computers
    A couple of other things that may be tips - -
    1 - on wednesday of this week
    our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
    After that trouble started - -
    2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
    which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
    3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
    It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
    info - -it will not take.   He wanted to try a network start-up .
    I forget how that is done.
    4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
    any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
    I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
    Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
    transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
    LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
    10.5.8.
    Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
    into mine like an external device or something like that
    I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this  and must admit I have no
    external enclosrure?  but I have an external HD on my I-mac
    As you can tell - -I am not to good at this
    Thanks from Meffa    (lol0   Jim the father

    Give your previous partition layout, you cannot install Windows via Bootcamp, unless you are willing to give up all your extra partitions and go back to EFI, OS X and RecoveryHD only configuration.

    1. Windows installer will not work and you will end up with driver issues.
    2. No.
    3. You cannot, but if you could, the Apple Bootmanager would be your Boot Manager/Loader.

  • Since installation of a new hard drive on my mac book pro, clicking is now very difficult as I have severe arthritis in my hands.  Is it possible to alter the pressure required?

    Since having a new hard drive installed on my Mac Book Pro it has become very hard to click since I have severe arthritis in my hands.  Is it possible to have the pressure required reduced to make it more comfortable?

    I don't think there is any adjustment for that. The battery is under the trackpad. Did you have the HDD replaced at an Apple repair facility?
    You may want to ask them to look at it and explain that it is harder press than before, maybe the battery is not nested correctly.
    Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts which may help to reduce the amount of clicking that you have to do.
