Is there a way to stop this message popping up about downloads?

I have moved my Apple Loops, EXS Factory Samples, Ultrabeat Samples using this instruction which worked well. Though it does give me these pops up on opening anyway to avoid these?

Making aliases is not going to cut it. You need symbolic links.

Follow the link that David provided and you should be golden.

I would recommend you finish download the essential sounds and settings again, then use the following instructions if you really need to move them (the best being to avoid moving them if you can afford to): https://www.logicprohelp.com/move-logics-additional-content-secondary-drive/

I can avoid moving the Apple Loops only reason I wanted to was I read its easier on the system to have them on an external drive due to the writing and reading. Is that true. If it makes a small difference it isn't worth it. 

I have all my samples dl content on an external drive using a symbolic link as suggested by David and Eric and never receive download pop ups unless Apple adds new content. And when that happens the new content is directly downloaded to the target the symbolic link points to ( my external hard drive)

As per system efficiency I think it does help Logic function better.

Thanks. I was a bit intimidated by the link process like I'll screw something up LOL. I'll give it a go then

I actually don't use the terminal for this I use this great little tool that simplifies things a lot

There are instructions in the help file but essentially the process is like making an alias once this little app is installed.

Thanks for that I'll try it out

I used it the same way. I downloaded the tool you sent. Then copied my Apple Loops over to my Sample Drive. Right clicked on it on sample Drive > Services > Make Symbolic Link. I copied that Symbolic Link (Apple Loops symlink) to the original folder. Deleted Apple Loops from original drive and renamed Apple Loops symlink as Apple Loops. Thing is the link still shows files inside taking up space?

No. The Apple Loops used by a project are loaded into RAM when you open your project. Other than when you open a Logic project or import a new loop into that project, the drives are not being used at all, so it makes zero difference where the loop is on your drives. 

Hey guys I just wanted to follow up on the SymbolicLink. In the image above When I Get Info for the Apple Loops symlink it shows 42kb. But shows in the next folder all the loops taking up space. Shouldn't that area be empty?

It's only referencing the loop folder info from your other drive. They are not actually taking up space on your main drive. It just appears they are..

Ah ok thank you

Question,...

I don't want/need the essential sound library at all.

How can i avoid downloading this everytime Logic X starts?
