Hey folks,

I recently had a computer meltdown and had to replace my MacBook. In the process of setting up the new one, I realized I no longer had the original expansion installers. Before I go through the process of re-downloading them all over again ( about 18 expansions ), is there a way I can copy them back from my MPC? I have tried one of the libraries and put it here: /Library/Application Support/Akai/MPC/Content/. Unfortunately it doesn't get recognized by the MPC software. I assume it has something to do with the formatting or a missing cache file of some sort. I downloaded and re-installed one of the libraries and tried to match the format, but no luck.
Is there a utility in the software that can do this? or is there a special recipe?

Sorry if this is a silly question, I searched through the forums and couldn't find an answer.

Thanks,
Alex

I'm just creating new .xpn files and those have no problem installing. It may not be the 'correct' way and its slightly annoying, but way faster than downloading the installers, ;)
thanks MPC-Tutor.



When you do it that way they get sorted as third party expansions in the expansions browser… that shit annoys me to no end
