Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?

Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?
Running Logic Pro version 10.1.1
Imac 3.1 GHz Intel Core 7
16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB
Software  OS X 10.9.5

If you ask nicely at an Apple Store... and take your Mac with you.... they will download and install LPX for you..... along with all it's content...
As for why they don't offer it on a flash drive?
Who knows.....
It's Apple.... Its the App Store system... Its all about the Apple ID.. it's where things are leading, away from the physical to the non physical medium... and so on..They do things their way.. whether we like it or not... and if you don't like it?
Then choose a different DAW (or move to a different OS via bootcamp) ..  It's no skin off their nose... so to speak... but it will cost you more...(in most cases a lot more)  for a boxed / non downloadable edition.. For example... Cubase 8 = $550... Live 9 Suite (Boxed) = $800....   Motu DP = $500.. Bitwig = $300... and so on...
$199 for LPX..and all its content...  It's a steal, box or no box...
My only issue is.. it would be good to be able to easily download and store a copy of everything myself.. without having to resort to somewhat tricky methods to do so.. so I could easily install everything on a non internet connected Mac...

    It's done this three times in a row
    After downloading from the app store, I Launch logic pro, then:
    -Content downloads
    -Shows "Installing basic Content..."
    -Progress dialog box closes
    - Logic dissapears, apparently having crashed
    - Relaunch Logic
    - repeat

    I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

  • Error while installing Logic Pro Additional Content HELP!!!!!!!!

    Hello, I've recently purchased Logic Pro 9.1.8 from the Appstore on my new MacBook Pro (Mid 2012).
    The App installed fine and so did the 2 GB obligatory download on the first launch. But then I downloaded the Logic Pro and Mainstage additional content (4.6
    Gb) and then when it started installing, the install window in Logic simply disappeared, I thought it had finished installing, so I checked the Additional content
    download menu and it was still unchecked (and without the "Installed" sign on the right). Having copied the package on my external hard drive for backup, I
    recopied it on my mac and tried to install, but the installer then displayed the following message: An error occurred while extracting files from the package.
    The Log file also included: "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format."
    There isn't an Apple Store in my country.
    I'm running on Lion 10.7.5, with 420Gb of free space, please HELP!!!!!!!!

    Solved this by downloading the file again.

  • Why does the logic pro 9 upgrade not work on OS X 10.8.4 ?

    Just decided to upgrade to logic 9 from my 8 (an upgrade from 6!) but I also have Protools on my computer (dont hate). Tools 11 needs 10.8.4 but the logic 9 update refuses to work with 10.8.4 ...BTW pro 8 is still working well on my system, but 9 has some additional cool featurs etc
    Additionally an upate to Logic X loses all my 32bit plugins so...I am  staying with 8/9 for a while ..any help to get 9 functional??

    It is the installer that's quitting, or Logic Pro when you try to launch it? If the latter, download all the available updates, either through Software Update or the standalone downloaders;
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#logic%20pro%209
    and apply them before attempting to launch Logic. That might work better.
    Regards.

  • 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?

  • Why isn't the Adobe Exchange Panel opening in Flash Pro CS6?

    It says it's installed but when I go to Window>Extensions>
    and then there is nothing, no other menu to go from.

    Hi HunterOSx and Svagers,
    How did you install the Adobe Exchange extension?
    I would recommend downloading the latest updates for Extension Manager from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/
    ...and downloading the latest Adobe Exchange ZXP from www.adobeexchange.com (it was updated on Friday). Make sure that you open the ZXP with Adobe Exchange CS6 for it to be available in Flash Pro CS6. If you also have Extension Manager CS5 installed, it's possible that you've accidentally installed the panel into Flash Pro CS5.
    Let me know how you get on.
    Best wishes,
    Fraser

  • Why won't Logic Pro 9 run on my Mac running OSx?

    When launching program get message "You can't run this version of the application Logic Pro with this version of Mac OS X. You have Logic Pro 9.0.0."
    And yet Mainstage, bundled with Logic Pro 9.0, will run.
    Is there an update or upgrade I need to purchase in order to run this VERY expensive program?
    Is this problem related to the fact that I originally purchased the Logic Express and then the Pro upgrade?
    I ran this program on my Macbook Pro unti lit finally died after 6 years of hard use.
    Help?!?!

    Hi
    Logic 9.0.0 will not run under Lion. You need to run Software update, or go download the necesssary updateers directly from Apple Support.
    Note that, for the updaters to work, the Logic Application *MUST* be a) in your Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder, and b) it must be named "Logic Pro" without any numbers or spaces after the name.

  • Can you download the extra data of Logic Pro X on a separate hard drive?

    I want to ask if you could download the extra content on a separate hard drive?, I have a SSD so there isn't enough space, a

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have another Mac, open the App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download Logic Pro X. Then, copy it to an external drive (it's saved in /Applications). Finally, copy Logic from the external drive to the Applications folder of your Mac desktop

  • Logic pro 9- had to reformat hard drive, can't reinstall on 10.6?

    So I've seen a variation of this asked, but no one has explained what to do. I recently had to reformat my corrupted hard drive and install 10.6 (I had 10.5), but when I went to reinstall Logic Pro 9 (with the actual DVD's) it said an Installation error had occurred and stops. I've seen someone say you can get a replacement installation package, but how if I can't contact apple about it? If not, anything else I can do?
    Really need some help!
    Thanks,
    JD

    Telephone AppleCare and Explain your are a Logic User... you should then be transfered to a Product Specialist who will be able to Assist you and supply New Discs if that is Determined to be necessary.
    Be sure to have Logics Serial Number and Purchase Date handy.

  • Logic's 'Additional Content' to external hard drive?

    'Additional Content' to external hard drive, is it possible? Will I have an option somewhere to put all the samples and presets somewhere other than my internal drive?

    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.

  • Why won't folder contents copy to flash drive

    When copying a file to a flash drive, I get an error saying the folder is already on the flash drive and won't copy anything except the folder itself, no contents.

    I get the same error message, or one similar when trying yo copy to any other drive, external, flash, and from a flash to my external. This just started a couple of weeks ago. Never had a problem before. Not possible to reformat all my externals and flash drives.

  • Installed Mountain lion on my Mac book pro. Now My IRONKEY flash drive is not launching.

    Installed Mountain lion on my Mac book pro late 2011. After that my IRONKEY flash drive is not launching. Before it was launching OK.The flash drive has updated software.

    You have some other problem with your boot drive that has corrupted data backed up to the TimeMacine drive.
    My advice is to boot into each operating system and manually backup just your Users files each to separate regular external drives (no Timemachine or backup software) and disconnect.
    Make a note of any serial numbers, emails, address book contacts, export bookmarks etc. that isn't typically in your users folders data.
    You might be able to Winclone 3 the Windows as a whole thing as it's appearing not to have issues but it's your MacintoshHD partition that is so that will have to be rebuilt from scratch.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If your OS X parititon doesn't boot, you can use this to recover files.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Without any further detail about your machine I can't advise specifically what to do, but it involves using Disk Utility to Zero Erase (move slider one spot to the right or in 10.6 using Security Option) the ENTIRE boot drive and reformatting, then installing OSX fresh and then setting up BootCamp again.
    If you wish to switch your boot drive for something better, this is a good time to do this.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    If your machine is capable of Internet Recovery, then use that, then upgrade.
    If your machine came with 10.6 or earlier, then use the 10.6 install disks and work up from there.
    Erase, formatting, OS X installs on Mac's

  • MacBook Pro running slow after USB flash drive

    I mount a Kingston USB flash drive to my 30 days old MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.4
    My Mac didn't recognize, so I inserted another one and it did recognize it.
    And I notice my mac was running slow, some task that I did the day before (illustrator cs6) were really fast.
    But after that USB flash drive it went slow, I thought it was and error and reebot it, also cleaning out the Cache and other stuff with CleanMyMac.
    But it continues to run slow.
    Please if someone knows what I can do I will appreciate it.
