I'm trying to download additional resources for Mainstage. Error message saying not enough hard drive space when there is plenty

Hi

Are you sure that you have *plenty* of disk space on your boot disk, rather than a second drive?

You'd need enough for the installer packages, as well as the 18+G of content when unpacked.

You are heading for a disaster here; this is not enough free space for the OS to operate effectively. The exact numbers can vary, but typically the rule of thumb is 20% of the disk capacity as free space.

You really do need to make some more space, regardless of any Mainstage installation.

Hi, the additional content manager is saying that "LogicPro and Mainstage Additional Content" requires 5.8Gb.

Yes, but you may well need double that whilst you are downloading /installing. (and there are the optional jampacks too).

You could possibly get away without installing all of this content, and you could (with some messing around), possibly move some of it to the extenal drive.

I too am running out of HD. Can I transfer the Jam Packs to external and if so how do I direct MS or LP to that HD? I have backed up single (multitrack) files to DVD for future use to free up[ HD space, Is there a better way?

Having the same problem, although i have installed the software, its just the additional voices loops that dont work (not enough disk space). And I have only attemped to download the vocal loops on the additional content, no other.
