Copy additional Logic Pro X Content without downloading it again?

Today, I've downloaded Logic Pro X from the AppStore and besides my iMac, I wanted to install it on my MacBookPro, too. Because of my weak broadband connection, it took more than 6 hours to download the additional content (Loops, Instruments, Effects, etc.). Is it possible to copy the sound library directly to an external hard drive and then paste it on my MacBook?


PS: I already installed the basic functions of Logic (2 gigs of download)

Logic Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

I'm facing some difficulties using this script above, i created an "sh" file using the exact same name and script content and it never works and when i tried to copy the script content and paste it in Terminal, it worked at the first time, so i decided to make a copy of it on a text file to use again later but it didn't work again.


can you please help me out with that, cause it is a time and effort saving?


Thank you so much

I recently did this for Logic Pro X 10.0.1. All of the .pkg files that Logic downloads are located below. You can download them with a free download manager like iGetter:


Download all Additional Content .pkg Files

  1. Copy all of the URLs below and save into a file, "LogicPackagesURLs.txt"
  2. Install iGetter
  3. In iGetter, select "File" => "Import URLs List"
    1. Select the file you just created, "LogicPackagesURLs.txt"
    2. Choose the location to store all of the .pkg files (for this tutorial, I used Downloads/LogicProXAdditionalContent)
  4. Start the download of all the files (approx 36.6 GB)

Install the Additional Content .pkg Files


NOTE: This step can also be run immediately after you install logic before you run logic for the first time. That avoids the automatic 2 GB download of the initial content when Logic opens for the first time.


You have 2 options for installing all of the packages:


  1. Easy Installation - Double-Click/Open each and every one of the .pkg files, enter your password, and click continue.
  2. Advanced Installation - Create a script to run in Terminal that automatically installs every downloaded package for you.



Advanced Installation


NOTE: I ran the script below when the .pkg files were located on the same hard drive to which I was installing them. Not sure how it will work if located on an external drive—I never tested it :/


  1. In the folder into which you downloaded all of the .pkg files, create a new text file called "installAllPackages.sh" and paste the following script into it
    #!/bin/bash
    
    echo -e "Installing all .pkg files withing this folder"
    FILES=*.pkg
    for f in $FILES
    do
              if [ ! -f "$f" ]; then
                        echo -e "ERROR: no .pkg files found. Quitting..."
                        exit 1
              fi
    
              echo;echo;echo
              echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
              echo "installing $f"
              echo
              sudo installer -pkg $f -target /
              echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    done
    
    echo -e "\n\nDone!"
  2. Open Terminal, navigate to the folder containing the .sh and .pkg files, and run the script file you just created
    $ cd Downloads/LogicProXAdditionalContent
    $ bash installAllPackages.sh
  3. When script completes running in Terminal, quit and restart Logic.
  4. Select drop-down "Logic Pro X" => "Download Additional Content". You should see all packages installed like my screenshot below

Such a great list. No doubt a lot of hard work. With the release of Logic Pro X 10.1 it would seem that there is additional new content. I don't suppose you have an updated list relative to this content.


Seems to me too like the community needs a way to track these changes so we can keep an up to date download link list.


There is a plist that is supposed to track what Logic is downloading: http://audiocontentdownload.apple.com/lp10_ms3_content_2013/logicpro1000_en.plis t

I can only assume there is an updated version of this plist that we need to obtain. With any luck only the name of the plist has changed and this part of the URL is the same (http://audiocontentdownload.apple.com/lp10_ms3_content_2013/). We would then just need to work out what the new packages are.

As this might be of interest (and I could do with a little help) I wanted to let you guys know that I have started a little project to create and maintain Autopkg recipes for the downloading, installing and if need be importing into Munki of this Additional Content: https://github.com/portalpie/Logic-Pro-X-Additional-Content-Recipes


Maybe you can offer me some help but hopefully in the end it will be useful to all of us.

Copy additional Logic Pro X Content without downloading it again?
