yeldarb Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 LP 10.8.1, 2018 Macbook Air. I decided to move my library to my external Samsung 1TB drive. That seemed to work fine. Since I had plenty of room on it I decided to then download all the additional content. It was slow, and at some point it seemed to make LP hang, so I had to kill it and restart. After several attempts, it appeared I had finally completed the downloads and it appeared to be installing the additional sounds, and then it hung up again. Now when I open LP it just hangs, no windows, just the spinning ball when I hover over the menu items. Oh update, now I can't even get the menus to show up!

yeldarb Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 So I deleted LP and the library, reinstalled it with the minimal sound library on the external drive. So far so good... I then downloaded the first bit of the additional library, then installed that... it appeared to be hanging but now seems ok. I wonder if there was some indexing issue when it installed the huge library on the external drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retep62 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 All I can tell you is that I just had a very similar problem with a 2020 M1 Air running Ventura 13.6.4 to a Samsung T7 drive. I wouldn't hold my breath expecting any help from this site. My read/write speed is 670 MBs so indexing shouldn't be a problem. I finally got Logic working with the Library located on the external drive, but now 50% of the library shows up in the Library window as needing to be downloaded, despite the Sound Library Manager showing that everything is installed. It's just the usual Apple/Logic BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeldarb Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Actually my setup is exactly the same, it is a 2020 air and the samsung T7, but I've updated to Sonoma. LP hung up again installing the second set of additional sounds. I have two partitions on the drive, one for Time Machine backups and the other for general stuff, which is where I'm putting the library. We'll see what happens.
