you probably uncompressed them into a folder along time ago. Same often goes for random compressed files. delete any installers you find lying around. This type of behavior, the pain of managing concurrent versioning, license managing deamons and the expense of obtaining a complete set of tools at a reasonable (non-professional uses) pushed me to fixed function hardware (digital workstations) and now iPad which is like a DIY hardware unit that surpasses any digital workstation for a similar cost.īut it's worth emphasizing. Managing storage on Mac and Windows was always by biggest headache. Who came up with an insane idea to charge for re-downloading something you've already purchased?! That's SICK If yes, why doesn't the Product Manager do this for your automatically?Īnother reason to stay away from IK then.Can I delete these old installers and reclaim my 59 GB of disk space?.Look at this! It looks like insane amounts of space being taken up by what looks like old installers that have already served their purpose. A bit clunky and inconvenient, but mission accomplished.īut then, much to my surprise/horror, I discovered that ALL my old installers are located in this IK Product Manager folder, including earlier versions of the programs. I double-clicked on the installer and it installed the sounds. I did a search on my HD and found the 'SampleTron_2_The_Lost_String_Quartet_Sound_Content.dmg' installer was in the directory mentioned above (ie., the IK Product Manager folder). dmg installers that are located in Macintosh HD/Documents/User Name/Users/IK Multimedia/IK Product Manager folder?īackground: I was doing some updating using the IK Product Manager, downloading the new 'Lost String Quartet' sounds for Sampletron 2, and when I clicked on the Download button nothing seemed to be happening. Here's my question: Can I delete the Mac. If not, it seems like something that IK desktop users may not know about but which they probably should! This question pertains to IK Multimedia products on the Mac, but maybe somebody knows the answer.
