move Logic content to external drive using Symbolic Link
I am trying to do something that should be easy but Apple has made terribly difficult to do. I want to remove all of the Logic content including Apple Loops, to an external hard drive. I have tried making Aliases but each and every time I reopen Logic, it says that I need to download essential content ... plus I have seen many post on the web stating that this does not work Everyone talks about using symbolic links. SO - that is what I tried next. I downloaded a free app, Symlink, ad tried to do it the way it was explained but so far, no luck. Is there a simple, step by step method out there with instructions that anyone (and I do mean ANYONE) can follow? Once we get into Terminal I get a bit nervous ...
Apple - you need to change this. Everyone is switching to small and fast SSD drives that cannot hold a ton of content. We have no room for all of these samples. Every other sample library makes it easy to put their samples on external hard drives - yours does not. Why???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
