Having trouble downloading the basic content

havingh trouble with downloading the basic content of main stage 3 at the end of the download it keeps saying something about Internet connection i tryed two different Internet places. my house and the apple stores as well did the same thing.

It definitely wasn't a space issue for me. I have about 600 gigs of free space. I finally got everything installed, it just took many, many tries. The good thing is that whatever was downloaded appeared to stay downloaded. I didn't have to start from scratch every time.
But now I'm having other issues. After playing for a few minutes, I get distortion, even in clean settings, along with intermmitent popping and some of the accompanying CPU spikes I've seen referenced in other places on these forums.
I'm hoping the noise issues are related to my troublesome US-800 and that when Santa brings my MOTU Audio Express, all will be better.

Logic Pro X Crashing while using Komplete Ultimate 9 Battery 4 Plugin

Hi Everyone!
I am encountering consistent crashes with Logic Pro X and Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate 9 Battery 4 Plugin. If I create about 4 tracks with a bunch of midi notes I.E. numerous kicks, numerous snares, numerous claps and numerous hi hats Logic Pro X will consistently quit when I go to Save As and then click save. I get the circle and then bam! Logic Pro states that “Logic Pro Quit Unexpectedly while using the Battery 4 Plugin.” I have inserted the crash image too. This only happens with the Battery 4 Plugin and does not occur with any of the other plugins in Komplete 9 Ultimate or any of Logic's Plugins. I have tried to Save As and Save Copy As with the outcome being the same crash. The fact that the crash occurs when I am going to Save As tells me that something is most likely occurring with Logic Pro X and not Battery...right? I really like Battery 4--to the point that I don't want to go back unless I must--and the drum sounds in Battery 4 are perfect for my electronic music that I produce. Any help is appreciated in advance. I have repaired my disk, updated Komplete with the latest updates and contacted Komplete which still has not responded (one week later) Here are my computer specs:
Imac 27” Mid 2011
1 TB internal HD with 800 GB free space
16gb ram
3.4 GHz
I7 Processor
Presonus Firestudio Interface
OS X 10.8.5
Logic Pro 10.0.6
Lacie 7200 RPM 500GB USB external HD for my Komplete 9 Ultimate Sample Library with 200 GB free space
Minipro SSD 250 GB Hard Drive for session

Thanks for posting DeeJayKeyz, it helps to know you are experiencing the same issue...although I wish none of us were. I have done the following to troubleshoot the Battery 4 crash issue in hopes of finding a solutions yet it still comes up:
Repaired Disk Permissions
Reinstalled Battery 4 app and library
Initialized Preferences in Logic X except for key commands
Trashed the com.apple.audiounitlugins
Trashed Logic's preferences via the Library
Set up a new administrator account in preferences>user and tried again…
With all the above troubleshooting, the issue eventually comes back. The most success I had was when creating a new user. BUT, I still experienced crashing on Logic Pro 9 every time and the crash would occur with the first save with Logic Pro X when using the Battery 4 Plugin on the new user account. Again, for the sake of repetition, Logic Pro 9 consistently crashed when "save[ing] As" and Logic Pro X would crash the first time I went to Save As, but would “save as” with no issues after the first crash when creating a new admistrator user. In both cases I had 16 tracks of Battery going, but it doesn't take more than 4 to re-create the crash. On a side note, if I change the tracks to Massive or Absyth I don't get crashes...just battery 4 for me so far. I have not tried it with Kontact as I have been spending too much time figuring out the Battery Logic issue. Bummed to know that I may experience this issue dow the road with Kontact :/ sure with Native Instruments and Logic would get their heads together to figure this out. I contacted Apple and dealt with Garry in support. He was helpful and came up with creating a new user. He did tell me to call back if I had any other crashes and this would be taken to a higher administration lever. But when I called back low and behold, I dealt with someone else who just blamed battery 4. I have to say though…using the "save as" feature and crashing while using a plugin appears to be a Logic problem…although I don't doubt there is a communication issue btw the two programs.

App Store Logic Pro downloads content, then crashes

It's done this three times in a row
After downloading from the app store, I Launch logic pro, then:

-Shows "Installing basic Content..."
-Progress dialog box closes
- Logic dissapears, apparently having crashed
- Relaunch Logic
- repeat
i've restarted the computer once. Just tried repairing permissions to see if that helps.
any help appreciated. thanks in advance.

I'm seeing this happen too. I've tried 3 times "unsuccessfully".

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 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: 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 download issues PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I just downloaded logic pro and it asked me to download extra content...i passed up on it by mistake and can't figure out how to access it again to download?? Please help!!!

Simple...
Start Logic
Go to Logic's Menu Bar at the top of the screen.
Click on Logic Pro in the bar
Click on "Download Additional Content"
Select what content you wish to install (I'd install it all...)
Wait a while (depending on how fast or slow your internet connection is..)
Done!

Where is serial number on Logic Pro downloads?

We have just purchased Logic Pro App from Apple, and have been billed. However, we can not use the software, as we were never provided with a serial number. Has anyone else had this problem? It says that the Logic Pro already exists on the computer, but that it was not purchased from the App store??
Thanks.

There is none. You simply have an old version of Logic Pro installed. Delete it and the App Store allows you to download a version that works without the number.

Why is Logic pro (downloaded from mac app store) asking me for a serial number?

I recently bought this mac and haven't had any previous downloads on it. I've managed to download and install logic pro as well as the 2GB "essential" add-on. As I clicked to download the additional 19GB of extras it asked me for a serial number that it says would be on my packaging. I obviously don't have this. I quit logic and tried to open it again and it is asking me for the serial number just to get into logic. Really stuck on this one.

It's compatible. Note that there's an App Store (for iPhones, iPads and iPods touch) and a Mac App Store (for Macs, available since Mac OS X 10.6.6). Just open the Mac App Store and purchase Logic Pro 9

Why does my Logic Pro (downloaded from App Store) suddenly hang when I load it up? Made no changes, can't figure it out.

Suddenly stopped working.
It hangs at 'Loading core audio'. Cannot figure out for the life of me why.
Tried installing a version from disc, but it said it was not compatible with Mountain Lion. I'm running 10.8.2.
Did no updates, nothing. Just suddenly will not work.
Have tried reinstalling etc. etc., but again, nothing.
Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

What have you recently installed (such as plugins, drivers other DAWs etc)?
If you hold down the Control Key and then launch Logic Pro, does Logic start up successfully?

My MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013) is daring LOTS of battery while sleeping

Hello
So my macbook's battery started to drain like 30~70% overnight when it was sleeping.
My bluetooth is off, so is power nap.
Programs like 'caffeine' are also off.
I really don't understand why it taking so much battery.
PLEASE HELP ME
(i can't go to a genius because i'm not in the states currently)

Hi there joonkang98,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Mac notebooks: All about batteries
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
There are several common causes battery drain that you can minimize.
Take steps to optimize your battery life per the Optimizing Battery Life section earlier in this article.
A common cause of decreased battery life is a "runaway process." Make sure to check Activity Monitorfor any runaway processes, especially after installing software updates or a new operating system. Installing updates is important to ensure optimal performance for all applications.
If you are still having battery runtime issues after optimizing your computer's performance and checking for runaway processes, test in Safe Mode. Safe Mode limits the active items on the system and allows testing in a more minimal environment. If the battery life is better in Safe Mode, you may need to do further software isolation for the items disabled by Safe Mode to determine what the power draw is while not operating in Safe Mode.

Macbook works very slow and consumes a lot of battery power when closed

Hi@all
I hope someone of you can help me. My Mac crashed yesterday. I got a warning saying "there was a problem, your Mac will reboot" (I didn't get the exact words because it vanished quite fast and the MacBook rebooted itself). Since then my Mac is working very slow and freezes every few minutes. I looked at the CPU usage but this is always under 25% so there shouldn't be a programm that causes this problem.
In addition:
When I close it, it seems to go to sleep mode normally but is still consuming quite high amounts of battery power and get's warm. When I work with it the temperature stays normal.
I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2012) with 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 running with Mavericks.
It would be great if someone has an idea what could cause this kind of problems.
Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions :-)

sternblume,
for the high energy consumption in sleep mode, you could try resetting its System Management Controller.
For the slow working and freezing, you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode.

Does updating multiple apps on my MBP use a lot of battery power?

Tonight my MBP battery % dropped AFTER I updated seven iTunes apps, most being bug fixes. It went from 85% to 73% after the updates were completed. Earlier I was using my Beats Pill with NO drop. I had already put the Beats Pill off by the time I did the updates.
Do updates use THAT much battery power?

Do you mean Mac app store apps? Running Mavericks on a 2011 Macbook Pro should handle it fine, but it can depends on the type and size of the seven apps. It also depends on you wi-fi connection and your screen/keyboard brightness. Wi-fi updates can use a lot of battery because it's time consuming, especially if they're large files.
