How to download Additional Content for Logic Pro?

Mainstage is sold separately, I believe at $40? Waveburner is discontinued. The addidtional content is Jam Packs (loops and sampled instruments).

About your download trouble: maybe you should try a different forum, isn't there one for App Store things? After all, this is more of an App Store problem than a Logic problem.

i had some issues with installing additional content also. after Logic installed i just accepted the option to download additional content but every so often would receive a message like 'failed to complete download' and the system would just continue to download the next package. i found that, by downloading additional content (Logic Pro / Download Additional Content) one item at a time using this interface, i was able to complete each download and get the full package. my theory is that some of these items require you to give your admin password to complete the install but downloading them as a batch screws this up somehow. at any rate, try downloading the contents that show as Incomplete in the Download Additional Content interface one item at a time and that might help. btw, i went down to the lowest level (/loops, /instruments, /surround content) but you might try going up a level and see if you can get all 3 to install. keep in mind that, after each installation, Logic seems to restart (the application stays open but i think it does a complete re-scan because it kept giving me an error telling me that my external audio interface wasn't available--just because i hadn't powered it up to work on this process--which would normally only pop up when starting Logic without my interface--so just be patient and let Logic show you the beachball for a minute then launch the Download Additional Content interface again. Good Luck.

I had never-ending problems like you describe trying to download the larger additional content files. Finally, I connected my MacbookPro DIRECTLY to my router using a CAT5 cable - instead of going WiFi. It worked like a charm!

Apparently, for those with slower WiFi (depends where I was in the house) the direct cable connection can make all the difference.

Hope this helps someone out there :-)

I also had this problem, resolved by a very helpful lady from Apple support in Ireland. It was down to the router supplied by my Broadband provider BT, which was unable to download any file larger then 2GB (owing to a 'firmware fault'). There was apparently a manual workaround to this but I simply requested a more up-to-date router and the download then worked fine.

I had problems downloading additional content in Logic, the solution was to connect to Ethernet cable, it worked after 4 days of trying, download time was cut from wi fi 50 hrs to 1 1/2 hrs. Hope this helps someone, I sure could have used it.

Anyhow.. glad to hear you resolved your issue...

This solved issue for me.

I had similar problems. I would download OK (took some time though) click install and nothing happened in the list. Nothing changed. This involved some lengthy experimentation I might add.

Anyway Re-indexing the list solved it and now all loops appear. This took a little time so don't panic and click out as I have read this can cause problems.

Loops (drop down menu) at the bottom is "Reindex all loops" Click that. And may the force be with you!
