How to install Logic Pro X additional files to a secondary hard drive?

Hi all, I have tried and failed to install additional Logic Pro X data to my second hard drive. The SSD that OS X runs through is almost full and I don't have enough space for the files to stay there.
I have tried to use the 'Symbolic Link' solution, but to no avail as it continues to install the software on my SSD! I can tell, because after installing the files I lose a big chunk of storage on the SSD.
Please help! Is there an alternate solution, am I doing it wrong?

Sorry! I did select Logic Pro... Wonder why that happened.... Thanks

How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

I have a power pc (g5) computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
Get MacScan...

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/
But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

How to Delete Logic Pro X Additional Content

Is there Anyone out there who knows how to delete the additional content on Logic pro X once it has been installed.
These are the following things I have tried:
I have tried uninstalling Logic pro X - No result - The space the additional content took up is still taken up. (by what I don't know)
I have read every possible article on the matter - Still No Result -
I have tried using AppCleaner to delete Logic Pro X - No Result - Logic pro X is deleted but the additional content still remains.
I even went as far as using my time machine to back up the information on my laptop - to see if it would back up the 50GB worth of date - Guess what - It did back it up. but its no where to be found on my HD.
The additional content takes up 50GB+ worth of space and for some reason won't GO AWAY!!!
SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!

I have read every possible article on the matter - Still No Result -
A simple google search for " Where is Logic Pro's additional content stored " brought up the info almost instantly.....
The content is stored in multiple locations...
Where is Logic pro additional content stored?
Thanks to CCT & viento10 for the info......

How do I restore time machine alias files cloned from broken hard drive

My external hard drive broke (a tiny transistor broke off after the drive fell two feet to the floor) so I purchased a new one and had the Geek Squad clone what was on my old hard drive onto my new one. I was using Time Machine to backup my files. My external hard drive had a much larger capacity than my macbook pro, so I deleted a number of the files saved on my Macbook Pro, knowing that I could access my files whenever I plugged my ext. hard drive in.
After plugging my new external hard drive into my computer, however, I am finding only alias files and I do not know how to restore my data so I can access all of the files again.
Does anyone know how to restore my time machine data from the cloned data I had transferred from my broken external hard drive to my new external hard drive?
Thanks!

An update - I finally took both of my HDs in to an Apple store and they confirmed my fear: only alias files had been transferred from my old drive, meaning Geek Squad charged me $100 for 850 MB of unusable files.
That has been clear since early in this thread.
Geek Squad has agreed to retry the process
Why pay them to do what you don't need done??? Get a refund and buy an enclosure, which you should have anyway for backups.
but I'm now wishing that I had received more sound advice when I brought the drives into them in the first place.
Don't know who gave you that advice, but I sure wouldn't trust them with my data!
The Apple rep. informed me that my HD works perfectly fine and that it just needs a new enclosure (which I can buy for $20 online, as opposed to paying $100 for a data transfer).
Ummm, the action to take seems very clear to me . . . .

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

This is crude but if you need a work around, just plug the USB drive directly into the iMac.. copy the files to it.. then plug it into the TC.
You also do not need to use the TC as an intermediary between your iMac and MBP.. just turn on sharing in the computer.. so you can directly copy files from one to the other.. Macs have public access directory preconfigured for each user account.
As far as mounting the TC..
In finder use Go, Connect to server.. and type.
AFP://TCname or TCipaddress
Where TCname is the actual name of the TC.. I strongly recommend you follow SMB network rules.. ie if your TC has a name like
Fred Blog's Time Capsule 2445566.
It is too long.. it has spaces and it has non-alphanumeric characters.
Shorten it to FredTC
No spaces no characters that are NOT alphanumeric.
TCIPaddress is simply the standard IP.
You can also use CIFS://TCname which according to the article forces the connection back to SMB1 rather than SMB2 which as usual is broken.
But I would definitely use AFP if possible. I cannot understand the decision to move to SMB as standard.

How To Install Logic Pro from my Mac Pro to a new iMac?

I read about this once but have forgotten.
I currently have Logic Pro on my Mac Pro.Using the latest version.
Just bought an iMac which will be here soon.
I have the original Logic discs and the box says "Upgrade from Logic Studio or Logic Pro" on the front.
As I remember, I will have to install all these DVDs on the new iMac, then somehow update the application to the current version online. Is this correct?
Where does one go to do the update? App store? So confusing.
It's like...they wanted you to register your copy of Logic when you bought it...so if you did, why don't they know you already own it and allow you to just download it to your new computer?
Thanks for any help
Tom

Apple is nowhere near as small a company and unfortunately, when a company grows, these kind of requests start to come in so often that the management finds ways to obscure, redirect, or flat out refuse to provide service and help out.
There is also the big factor that Apple may not even know the key themselves. Even if they know you bought a copy, Logic doesnt talk to the internet to verify AFAIK so there would be very little reason for them to be able to link your key to your receipt to tell you what your serial was, and I imagine they are understandably touchy about giving out new ones.
Does your old registration login still work? I was under the impression that it would all be eaten up by the App Store.

How to install Logic Pro update 9.1.8 ?

I am currently using Logic Pro 9.1.6 and just tried to update it to 9.1.8, but got this error message:
An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.
Last time I checked, 9.1.6 comes after 9.0. So, what's the problem here? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
I actually have the same problem, but have been unable to fix it. The Logic Pro Application version 9.0.0. is absolutely in Applications > Logic Pro (folder) > Logic Pro (with the application icon). No matter what I try I get the same error message that no elligible verision is there.
Solution? I also posted a new thread on this problem, and just found this discussion. Thanks.

How do i reset a movement of files to an external hard drive

Hi Everybody,
Iam in BIG trouble ! ! ! .After getting dialogue a box on my PC stating that the hard drive was almost full ( 106.9 of it's 107Gb memory is being used) i went out and purchased a 640Gb ext. hard drive which i was assured was a "plug and play" device.
I wired in the ext HD and proceeded to "send to " the "itunes" folder to it without any problem.It took almost 50 mins to transfer all 70Gb of video and music to the ext. HD. Afterwards when i clicked on the "itunes " icon i got a dialogue box stating the files had been moved or deleted ...in other words it appears i moved not only the contents of itunes but the program aswell.I restored the PC to an earlier date but still had to "uninstall and re-install"( i was prompted by the PC to do this ) itunes to get it to do ANYTHING.
When i plugged my ipod back in to the computer itunes told me that " this i-pod is synced to another library".
I decided to transfer the contents of my ipod to the pc but very little of the music was transferred and none of the video !!!!
So now i have ....
1. Purchases in itunes that won't download because the hard disk is full .
2. An ipod that will not correctly sync with itunes on my PC
So where are all my files ???? the hard drive no longer shows an "itunes folder" but is still full ! ! When i "search" for "video" i can find all the videos in documents and settings but if i try to delete them i get a dialogue box stating "CANNOT DELETED--ACCESS IS DENIED ....MAKE SURE DISK IS NOT FULL OR WRITE PROTECTED AND THAT THE FILE IS NOT IN USE"
I can "open with" the video file and the PC switches on itunes and plays the video...but if i delete the video from the itunes library (to make some room on the PC's hard drive ) it is deleted from itunes library but stays on the PC's hard drive.
HELP PLEASE ! ! WHAT HAVE I DONE AND HOW CAN I UNDO IT ???

Use your operating system to move the photos to the external hard drive, keeping the same folder hierarchy; then in Lightroom relink via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
Do not take this as an opportunity to rearrange or reorganize your folders or photos.

How to ensure Premiere Pro saves nothing to my computer's hard drive

I recently installed CS5 on my MacBook Air. I have a 1TB Time Capsule (wireless external hard drive) and I want Premiere Pro to save exclusively to that drive and not to my computer's hard drive.
I have all of my source files for my project (audio, video, images, etc) on the Time Capsule and saved the project to the Time Capsule. However, PP is still saving stuff to my computer's hard drive and I can't seem to find what or where it's saving it. The computer hard drive is already near full so I want to keep all things PP on the Time Capsule.
Also, every time I open up the project, PP re-indexes and re-conforms all of the media I'm using for the project. Furthermore, when I try to export and encode, Media encoder is saving stuff to my computer's hard drive even though I set it to save to the Time Capsule.
Basically I'm really frustrated with constantly getting "Your hard drive is almost full" warnings from my MacBook Air, resulting in me just moving other, non project related media off of my computer onto the Time Capsule or just deleting it altogether.
Help me use Premiere Pro so that it saves nothing to my hard drive and exclusively to my Time Capsule! Thanks!

Macbook Pro can open files from Touro ext. hard drive but can't save to it. Solutions without data loss?

Hello,
I've looked around for a solution to my problem but I haven't found any specific solutions and I'm not comfortable in trying general ones for fear of loosing my data. Before moving I backed up all my document and music files from my PC to my Touro external hard drive. My main goal for buying this hard drive was to use it to store my itunes music library to save space on my computer and transfer my music from said PC tp my new MacBook Pro after the move. Today I set about doing so and was able to set my itunes up to pulll from the hard drive as well as load all the music I had saved on the hard drive into my MacBook itunes. The trouble came when I tried to download new purchases. It turned out I couldn't because itunes was unable to save them in the new file location on the Touro. I checked into it and I have the same problem with the documents as well; I can open anything already saved on the drive but I can't save any new files. It keeps on telling me I don't have permission to make edits. I'm afraid this mean I have to reformat the Touro for Mac but doesn't that mean I'll lose all that data? Does anyone know of any somlutions that would give me access to the drive without compromising what's already on it? I would just plug it back into the PC and see if I could adjust sharing settings, but it's all the way across the country now. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

It sounds like your HDD was formatted under windows NTFS, which although your mac can read, it cannot write to that file format.
You will either need to transfer the data to another location while you reformat it as FAT on your mac using Disk Utility. Or you could purchase something like iPartition and change the file format to FAT which might take up to 24hours or so depending on the size of the drive. I have never had a problem doing this before but it's not guaranteed that your data will not be lost doing this.

HT201250 If I have a Hard Drive with files already on it, will backing up my MacBook Pro delete the files already on the Hard Drive?

I have recently bought a Hard Drive to store files that can no longer fit on my MacBook Pro. I also want to use this Hard Drive as a back up for my entire computer. Will backing up my computer delete the files i already have on my Hard Drive??????

It shouldn't.
If you are planning to use Time Machine, then no, it will never overwrite files that aren't part of an old Time Machine backup; only old data put there by Time Machine will ever be touched by Time Machine.

Hard Drive crashed. How do I retrieve my old iPhoto files from the external hard drive I had used to backup?

My computer was logged in using my Apple ID. I was out of town when my hard drive crashed, so my wife took it in to get replaced. When doing so the person at the Apple store helping her had her create a new Apple ID to use with the computer. Now, when I open time machine I don't see anything from before this hard drive crashed. How do I get access to my old photos from iPhoto that should have been backed up on the external hard drive?

Sorry I am unclear where the backup is located.. On a time capsule??
