Logic Pro - 19GB of 'optional' content available via in-app purchase.

This seems weird. IN the App Store see the System Requirments sections and it says..."19GB of 'optional' content available via in-app purchase." Logic Pro to buy normally, was gigabites of stuff....thisd App Store purcxhase is only 413Mb.
Can anybody tell me
a. What this 'optional' content via in-app purchase is?
b. How much this 'optional' content via in-app purchase is and
c. Didn' t Logic Pro 9 used to ship with masses of content...I mean Gigabits of the stuff. This App Store Download in only 413MB...doesnt that mean that yes its is less money to buy...but for it would seem less stuff.
Have Apple been very cleaver here...I mean clever?

I kinda of think the tech is there now...for most people...if not, most people can get higher speed access via other frineds or family. Its not ideal for everyone agreed but Apple just like to push boundries I guess and I agree with them doing that.
I think this is a major problem for a lot of people: I don't know where you're based but in rural UK it's an ongoing problem and I speak from experience. Slow connections and constant dropouts are a major headache and accessing via friends & family is hardly convenient and part of Apples vision of convenience.
It's very convenient and lucritive for Apple to make their content exclusive through the App Store with no packaging etc but it doesn't serve everyones needs and it's not convenient.
Lets see which is quicker, a 2.4GB download or next day UPS delivery: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11325452

Logic Pro X: Install additional content on external hard drive?

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if there are any new, official ways to ask Logic Pro X to store the additional content that is downloaded to a different location (e.g., an external hard drive). So far I haven't found anything in the documentation (though maybe I missed it).
Thanks

I got it working with symbolic link.
It's very easy and this is how I did it:
1. Download this for free:
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10433/symboliclinker
2. Copy original 'Logic' Folder located in /Volumes/"DRIVE NAME"/Application Support/ on the desired external drive and location.This is the location where all your additional content is beeing installed to.
3. You can delete the original folder or rename it and use it as a backup.
4. Use the symbolic link tool to create a symbolic link from the 'Logic' file which has been copied to your external drive.
Place the link (which looks like an alias) to its previous destination (/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Application Support/) and rename it to 'Logic'.
5. After this you will be able to download additional content.
6. Be aware if you want to download 30 GB of content and your SSD has just 20GB free space, it will show you the same error message because it stores the download file still on your SSD until installation is done. The solution for this is to download everything part by part.
Maybe there is a simpler solution. This was very quick and easy for me. Logic 9 and 10 both work still.
Hope this helps.

Logic Pro 9.1.3 Update available

About the Logic Pro 9.1.3 update
Resolves an issue introduced in Logic 9.1.2 where Logic might quit unexpectedly when opening if the Native Instruments Kontakt 4 Memory Server was already open.
Resolves an issue introduced in Logic 9.1.2 where the Pedalboard stompboxes "Classic Wah" and "Modern Wah" sometimes stopped responding to mouse input.
Logic will no longer stop responding during launch if the TouchOSC Control Surface plug-in is being used and the utility application from Objective Development called Little Snitch is configured to deny network access to Logic.
Resolves an issue in Logic 9.1.2 that caused Logic to open fewer audio processing threads on i7 Quad-core Mac computers than it did in 9.1.1.
Resolves an issue in Logic 9.1.2 where flattening and merging a Take Folder could result in an empty audio region if another track was soloed during the operation.

Yep just saw that. It defaults to Automatic. which is certainly not optimal.
I changed mine to 16 (the max I could see) and I can now get 80 tracks again. Perhaps automatic sets it to half the cores available leaving the rest for other tasks.
What is noticeable though is the way it spreads the load is inconsistent and certainly not optimal. A few times it took 2 or 3 restarts to play high track counts and some of the restarts fully loaded the first 8 or 9 cores with nothing on the rest and it overloaded.
So seems back to where I was which is great but the loading algorithm certainly does not look optimal or very quick at the moment, maybe for the future updates.
At least the progress was fast and in a very nice way, giving control to the users. I like "pro apps" that let us choose!

Logic pro and mainstage essential content installing problems

for 2 days now I have had Logic pro and mainstage essential contend down loading in a greyed out box with a moving stripy line in the centre, clearly it is downloading something but for 2 days? how can I get rid of it.

Thank you for the info I appreciate it! Was also wondering if the Drummer content downloads faster from Logic Pro X than from Garageband as the Drummer content downloads rather slowly from Garageband. And was figuring that since Logic Pro X is more expensive than Garageband perhaps the servers they use for Logic Pro X would be more faster than Garageband's but I'm just taking a wild guess

Logic Pro X Downloading additional content issue

Hello
After several tries I still have not completed a download of additional content.
There is 28.6 GB of content and it has always hung up around 26.5 most annoying, and can't be very good for the bandwidth out of your servers, if I download over 100 GB and fail overtime..
I routinely download relatively large content files so this really seems strange, could it be the content should be divided up into smaller packages?

OKay Never Mind I got all the Additional Content... perhaps it was an internet connection problem... I Used Mainstage 3 to get all additional content and Logic pro X reindexed and understood that everything was downloaded and installed...
No More messages when I start Logic about unfinished downloads when I launch it...
Everything seems to be working fine now...
Also I had some Very Old Garage Band Jam Packs which apparently were incomplete... so I deleted all the Old Jam Packs and deleted all the indexing files from 2 locations App Support/Garage Band and App Supprort/Apple
so now Garageband and Logic Pro X 7 Main Stage know where all the Jam Packs are.... See other posts that explain this in detail i.e. Garage Band Community.

Logic Pro X: Downloading Additional Content Glitch

Everything works fine except for LEGACY GarageBand 1 Instruments & Sounds.... it gets to 96% (Approx. by the Blue Bar) and gets stuck there.
When I try to Quit I cannot... Logic Pro wont Quit while the DL is stuck so i had to Force Quit.
When I Go Back to Download Content it Shows as Everything Is Installed... But Legacy GarageBand 1 wants to Pick up where it Left off at 96% and gets stuck there once again.
Please Advise...

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...

Logic pro download of basic content taking lot of battery power...

Where do you find the serial no. of the logic pro product when it is bought in the app store

where do you find the serial number of the logic pro 9 product when you download it from the app store. It is needed to start up the product the first time.

Well there really isn't any serial number, or at least my copy from the app store doesn't have one. It is tied to your iTunes/app store account. In the app store, look at the help menu....

I have been using Logic Pro 8 on my Macbook OSX 10.5.8 Recently I purchased a new Macbook OSX 10.7.3 but cannot install Logic Pro 8 on it. Do I need to purchase a new Logic Pro 9 or can I upgrade my Logic 8 to logic 9 and then install?

Is there anyone out there who is having the same problem.

Thanks ... for posting a method that works.
UPDATE:
The photo posted above is Logic Pro 8 running in Snow Leopard virtualized in Parallels 7 in Lion.
I just attempted to install it into the Lion Macintosh HD from running the Logic Installer in Snow Leopard virtualized. The Installer application does NOT see the Lion Macintosh HD in its Select a Destination window. More work needs to be done for this approach to work...
Any ideas?
In the meantime, someone will have to work out an installation method using Pacifist (as CCTM suggests above), similar to this approach to installing GarageBand Jam Packs into Lion (which installer also requires Rosetta):

Versions of projects in Logic Pro X without audio content. Project's size.

In LP9 was a folder Audio Files in main project's folder and the project saved separately. I could save other version of main project inside main project's directory. In LPX each version include all audio content and take place for instance 155 Mb instead 2,5. Is there any ways to save versions of a project without audio content?

Calendar information missing, no I cloud backup, settings claims email calendar is still on, option not available in calendar app

So this morning when I went to check my calendar for my schedule it was completely blank. I went to "calendars" at the bottom of the application & it obly had the "birthday" calendar to select, the other three were gone. I checked another way by going into settings and then email, and it claimed that the calendars were selected & up and running, but they are not available to check in the calendar app. I also do not use iCloud because I do not have the space for everything or even my calendar because my family has 8 different apple products so the free iCloud data was sucked up extremely fast. What can I do to fix this?! I'm kind of freaking out because the calendars app is pretty much my only way of knowing what time I need to be where & it's all gone!
Last night before I went to bed it was all there. I went on Facebook, candy crush, & the internet for an hour and a half & then preceded to go to sleep. I woke up this morning with my calendar missing.
Someone please help?

Hi pefd39,
Can you please provide more information on the issue you are having synchronizing your calendar as well as any error messages so that we can assist you better?
Thanks,

I want to avail the in-app purchase in Garageband, but I don't have a credit card.

Hi everyone! I want to purchase more sounds for GB, but then I don't have any credit card. My sisters do have their own associated with their corresponding apple IDs. But is it alright for me to use either of their apple IDs in order to purchase the app? Or could I just supply the credit card info in my own apple ID's billing info? My only concern is that it's not my name that will be placed in the billing info if I did the latter option.

I don't have a CC linked to my account. I use the iTunes gift cards.
