MacOS – Reset Logic Pro X installation

logicmacos

I was installing Logic Pro X. The installer had to download 2.0GB. As I have slow internet connection, I was cancelling the download and resuming it without problems the last couple of days.

Today, the download was at 1.4GB. After cancelling it and trying to resume later, the installer won't open. I went to Activity Monitor and killed the Logic Pro X process and started the installer again, however all process is now gone and it gets stuck at Installing:

How can I reset the installer so it starts from scratch? Maybe I could delete the 1.4GB data that was already downloaded so it starts from the beginning?

A quick find didn't reveal where those files are:

$ sudo find / -name "*Logic Pro*"

UPDATE: directories that I try deleting:

  • /Users/jviotti/Library/Caches/com.apple.logic10

You can find the location of your downloaded content by running the following command:

sudo find /private/var/folders -name "com.apple.MusicApps"

You can safely delete this entire folder and attempt to re-download.

If your Logic Pro X is not sandboxed, the content will be located in /Library/Application Support/Logic.
