[Mac] How to install Logos 5 from a backup?
Hi! I recently had to do a clean install/upgrade from OS X 10.8 to 10.9 and needed to re-install Logos 5. I followed the directions on this Wiki page:
http://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_Multiple_Macs
However, even after I transferred the Application Support files, I found that Logos still wanted to download over 4GB of files! Can anyone tell me where the remainder of those (hidden) files would be so that I don't have to download them over again (over a relatively slow internet connection)?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Logos4/Data/random/ResourceManager/Resources is what I copied. In fact, I copied the entire Logos 4 folder within Application Support. That data folder itself is almost 11 GB.
After I launched Logos 5, it wanted to download yet another 4+ GB of data! My question is, where is that data located? Clearly not in the Application Support/Logos 4 folder. If I could find that, then I wouldn't have to download it again and simply copy it over.

Did you use the scan command?
What day did you try this?

No, I simply launched Logos 5 and my layouts and books were preserved as from my backup. Maybe that would have helped?

A couple days ago. The funny thing is that I can do almost everything I need to, but when it says that Logos wants to download files, it tries to download 4+ GB of files.

Hmm. I'm going to bite the bullet and see how long this takes to download![:P]

If you didn't follow the instructions at Steps 4 thru 6 in "Copy Logos Resources to Mac OS X" you will be presented with a download!

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your help. Dave, I realized afterwards that because the folder I copied was already in Application Support, it wouldn't "re-copy" them (in the sense of re-scanning them). So I simply waited for a couple days, and it downloaded the books.
Here's the strange part - my data folder was almost 11 GB. The downloads were weighing in at 4 GB. After the downloads completed (thankfully I could do them piecemeal), my data folder remained the same size. Wonder why nothing changed? And why it didn't try to download all 11 GB?
At this point it is just curiosity. Consider this thread closed from my vantage point. Thanks again!

Copying the Logos4 folder in Application Support included resource licenses along with older resource files. The 4 GB download were updated resource files, which can be seen in the Library by sorting on Last Updated column.
Keep Smiling [:)]
