I downloaded and installed the Logic Pro 11 Trial and have another month left but would like to uninstall it. How do I do this without messing up Garageband? Also, how do I do this if I relocated the Sound Library to an external drive? Do GB and LP share the same Sound Library or are they separate? TIA.
MacBook Pro (2021)
Just a quick update to my issues: I called Apple Support and after two hours on the phone, the problem was solved. Had to speak with Logic Pro support as well as Garageband Support. Not sure what the problem was but after uninstalling/reinstalling various file folders, restoring my GB library, reindexing Apple Loops and various other steps, I finally am rid of all the memory hogging LP files that remained and have full GB Apple Loop set.
I uninstalled LP and reindexed my library in GB. Everything seems fine except:
2. There is a file folder on my external drive with LP related files in there. Can I dump these or do I need them if I'm going to use only GB?
Like I said earlier, create a time machine backup before changing anything. And keep in mind you are posting in a Logic forum, questions related to Garage Band might be ansered here: GarageBand - Apple Community
In my Apple Loops library I have dozens of greyed out samples that don't load despite the circle with download arrow in it. Are those leftover indexed but unavailable loops from Logic Pro? That's ok but I hate seeing them in there:
They are part of the Apple Loop Library and can be usually found here:
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Session Player/
These are very likely leftovers of Logic, maybe you didn't download them as they are part of the 72 GB Logic library. Either download the files or try to delete them in the Loop Browser. But re-index your library in the Loop Browser in any case. Is there a Sound Library Manager in GB like in Logic?
2. There is a file folder on my external drive with LP related files in there. Can I dump these or do I need them if I'm going to use only GB?
I really don't know, why the folder is located on your external drive instead in your User folder. Create a backup before deleting them.
Dear yoyoBen,
Please note the following:
Logic and Garageband share some sound libraries. But as long as you don't delete the libraries, there should be no problem. Create a time machine backup before changing anything.
How Do I Uninstall Logic Pro Trial Without Affecting Garageband?
