Error: content relocation could not be completed

Here is the page I followed for symbolic links:

Is it from your computer to and external drive or from one external drive to another external drive?

I am literally having the exact same problem. I'm using an early 15 MacBook Pro with a Glyph 1TB SSD that is already Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted. I can move other files no problemo, but can't use this feature? I actually can't use Logic functionally if this isn't solved, and there aren't any solutions online from what I can gather. I just bought the DAW, SSD, and a bunch of mics, etc... I sure hope this isn't an issue :(

This worked for me! Thank you so much! I JUST purchased a LaCie hard drive to store my sounds and tracks on and keep that hard drive strictly for music and tracks. I was worried when I first got that error message but this worked like a charm👌🏾 Thank you!

You are a life saver! I thought I was going mad, but this saved the day! I think that it was maybe because I have previously had Logic installed, uninstalled it and then reinstalled which is why there was an issue. Thank you so much!

This did not work for me. After rebooting from Big Sur I found my drive with the instruments on it wouldn't automount. After a few reboots that stopped happening. I bought an SSD to replace my external HD and when I plugged it in and ran the Sound Mover it gives me this error. Tried the Full Disk Access thing but still no luck. Full reinstall of Logic and still it gives this error. Sure could use some ideas.

Thank you but I tried that after reading it on other blogs. I also tried different drives, reinstalling logic, resetting preferences, deleting sound library and reinstalling etc etc (All the things Apple suggested when I spoke to them) but no luck... apparently there is an actual problem that needs fixing according to Apple... so frustrating but thank you for your suggestions. Anything else I should try?

thanks so much but yes I tried that and no it didn't work. I also tried all permutations of unchecking and deleting. I also tried a full uninstall etc. and using various disks etc. and opening logic with various users but still no solution - and apple engineers are still "working on it" apparently... anyway find a fix please let me know!

Oh man. Bummer. Hope they have a fix soon. I’ll let you know if I come across a solution.

I’m using a 2017 MacBook Air (MagSafe)

Big Sur 11.1

Logic Pro V 10.6.1

Content library have been placed on a SanDisk UltraFit USB 3.1 512gb. It's currently formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Cheers mate!

wow thats so kind of you. i'd managed to sort it through the symlinks as you suggested by creating individual ones for each folder in the logic folder (it wouldn't let me create a "destination" symlink folder direct in application support for some permissions reason (wouldn't let me unlock that either). so it is definitely a workaround thank you so much and at least will be a good fix until apple sort out whatever the issue is. I'm currently trying the safe mode idea suggested above also at that sounds like it might be cleaner if it works - if not I'm definitely doing the symlinks as you suggeste thanks so much - REALLY appreciate all your help and patience.

OH MY GOD AVIAVI YOU ARE AMAZING YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!! Such a simple solution of starting in safe mode and it works!!! I am going to email the guy at Apple who has been trying to help me and get him to tell the engineers. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Unable to change the location for Logic Pro content to another drive. I cannot even change the location back to my Mac SSD. Logic Pro has full disk access, but I continue receiving the following message: Error: Content relocation could not be completed.

I'm running Logic Pro 10.6.1

Thank you so much!! This worked for me and saved me from several more hours of pulling my hair out. It's a great case study in unhelpful error messages. Apple should be embarrassed by this poor app design.

I'm having the same problem, but without any success.

Macbook Pro 15" 2016

OS: 11.2 (Big Sur)

External Drives:

• Samsung T5 USB 3.1 1TB, APFS (GUID Partition Map)
• Iomega eGo Blackbelt 500 GB USB 2.0, APFS (GUID Partition Map)

I tried:

• uninstalling/reinstalling logic
• allowing Full Disk Access in Security and Privacy for Logic
• using each of the APFS options
• using each of the Mac OS Extended options
• manually creating the symlink from Terminal

Nothing worked and now I'm wondering if this might be a Big Sur issue since I previously had success with Catalina

Hahzaa! After a full day of issues, that did the trick! Thank you :)
