Logic Content Download for Mac Lab

Hi all,
I am sorry I do not have all the tech specs to help. They are new iMacs, running current OS.
I am a music teacher that just got a brand new lab of iMacs and our tech folks installed Logic Pro today. Students need to log-in using their district-issued user name and password. It seems that Logic is asking to download content with each unique user log in. The first download seems to be sounds, the second, larger download is the optional content.
1. Should each user have to download the content? Shouldn't it be available to all users once downloaded to the machine?
2. Any advice on how to best set this up on the machines or links I can give to my tech folks?
I'm the Mac guy, but can not do any of the network or set up work. That has to be handled by our tech dept., all PC. This is the only Mac lab in the district (took 3 years to get it - but getting to teach a Digital Music course because of it!) Supported, but our poor tech folks are just overworked.
Thanks!
Terry

Terrence, here is a tip on how to save time downloading all those files over and over again.
You have to know that the installation process is a two step process (similar to installing OSX). In the first step, it downloads a package file (containing all the files) to a hidden location on your drive and when you confirm the installation, It will copy the files in the downloaded package file to the correct destination with the proper authentication. After that, the downloaded package file will be deleted.
The trick is to save the package file(s) before they get deleted and use them as additional inteller files without the need to wait for the download of gigagbytes of data.
Here is a exceprt of my book "Logic Pro X - How it Works" where I describe the detailed installation process:
Have fun with your Logic class. If you need a good book for your Logic students to help them with app, I know a good one with lots of pictures and graphics, perfect for the image-oriented, ADD-ridden kids nowadays .
Hope that helps

Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
Yes that is correct.
Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

From what I have read, you can use neither of those option. Google Chrome OS is a completely different animal and you would need to check on the chrome website for apps that are available for use with it.

What version of Java do I need to download for Mac OS 10.5.8?

Since August 2012 updates for Java (and especially Java Runtime Environment, which is what you actually need) must now be downloaded direct from Oracle:

I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.

Safari download for mac.

my internet has been insane lately. so i decide to wipe out my browsers and re downlad them incase its just a corrupted safari. so i trash safari and keep firefox. all is well untill i go to the apple website and find now safari download for mac. am i crazy? there are 2 otions for windows users and no mac. uhhhhhhhhhhh.....help?!?!

The reason for the lack of a download is mainly due to WebKit. This is the part of OS X that knows how to render a webpage and is used by Safari, Dashboard, Help Viewer, Mail.app etc.
Each point release of OS X tends to update WebKit and the versions of applications that work with it. So, Apple would have to provide downloads for every variation of Safari that has been released - going back to 10.3 that's probably getting on for 15 different versions. As you can imagine this is just as likely to lead to people trying to install the wrong versions for their systems.
The same applies to other OS X applications - Mail, iCal, iChat, etc. None of these are available for individual download in the case of accidental deletion.
The one exception to this that is made is that you can reinstall certain applications from the installation DVD, as mentioned in [this article|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229].
For Windows, life is a bit simpler as WebKit is delivered with the Safari application (since there are no dependent applications on Windows that use it).

Plz Recommend an "Automatic" Torrent Downloader for Mac/OSX Yosemite

Hello. I was hoping somebody could please recommend an "Automatic" Torrent Downloader for Mac/OSX Yosemite..
I know that there are a few options out there, but most of them seem to be directed towards TV Shows.. which isn't a problem, but I was hoping for one that could be used for pretty much anything.. like applications, music, movies, TV shows, ****, whatever..
Basically, something where you could enter a "keyword" or "artist", for example, and have it automatically add whatever new torrents come up in whatever specific parameters you set (so you could basically set a music artist's name, for example, and specify music only, so that it's not downloading every video, image, or whatever that also contains that "keyword")..
Does something like this exist for Mac/OS X Yosemite? Would really love a recommendations! Thank you!

what is good downloader for mac? where can i get it?

Macs actually already have a downloader. When you click a download link in a web browser, the file will download. To your Downloads folder. It's really straightforward.

Fast!? I just tried using Any Video Recorder to convert a .ts video file to quicktime for watching on my mac. After running 4 hours it converted 14 seconds of video. That means it will take 42 days to encode my 1 hour TV show. Something is definately wrong.

youtube currently changes its algorithm nearly every week now so as to stop the youtube download plugins from working on popular videos
it is against google/youtubes terms of service to download their videos.    As such I cannot recommend you downloading them whatsoever
