Am I missing library instruments?

While following along in the getting started manual that came with Logic 8, I noticed that the screen shot of the instrument library shows there being 23 plus instrument categories. My library only has 14 instrument categories. Where are the others, or do I not have them? On the same note, but opposite, I have way more drum loops than what the manual shows (3268 vs 285). What's the deal.

I have solved my immediate problem although I am not sure the cause and if it similar to the problem Wes is seeing. Wes, where do you see the 23 instrument categories in the manual? Looked and could not find. I also have 14 categories in the main area:
01 Acoustic Pianos
02 Bass
03 Drums & Percussion
04 Keyboards
05 Synthesizers
06 Pop Strings
07 Pop Horns
08 Guitars
09 Orchestral
10 World
11 Textures
12 Logic Basics
13 Surround
14 G4 Optimized
Then there are 14 additional in the Garage Band section. Does anyone else have more factory categories?
I had reinstalled Logic a while back on a new startup disk. The installation was intact on the old disk so I compared root directory>Application Support>Logic> folders and found that I was missing the Classical Piano sample file and the Bosendorfer channel strips. I copied those files into the corresponding active folders and everything works now.
My theory is that when I reinstalled Logic on the new disk, I neglected to copy all the instruments since I already had all the loop content on yet another disc. I will go in with File Sync and see how they compare next.
Hope this helps.

LIbrary INstruments Missing - How do I get them back?

I have a load of the Library INstruments in my HD Library Folder that do not show up in Logic - How do I resolve this? Tried to Refresh the Library but no Dice
Recently bought a new Mac Pro and reinstalled the software - it seems to have missed stuff so I copied the files for the Sample instruments accross.

GarageBand: missing software instruments & loops won't download

Hi,
Recently I've bought a 15' MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.3 installed on it(and I've updated it to version 10.8.4) and tried to download [missing software
instruments and loops] for GarageBand, but that update for the additional GarageBand contents couldn't be found on App Store's update page even after trying
several times. Does anybody have a solution or similar experience? Answers would be greatly appreciated!

I recently had the same problem when I upgraded to Garageband '11. There are many posts and answers about this issue on the forum, but the one that worked for me was also the simplest solution. When you get to the Updates window on the App Store and it says it doesn't find any updates, hit ⌘-R to reload. When I did that, the additional instruments and loops download appeared in the Updates window and I was able to download them.
If that doesn't work for you, search this forum. There are many more possible solutions. Good luck!

The missing library problem.

I understand that there's already a lot of threads about the sudden disappearance of iTunes libraries, however I'm typing this up because I'd like to point out in a bit more detail what I'm seeing happening to my computer, and maybe have a collective of what's going on. This issue has happened to me five times in the last two months since I've updated to iTunes 11. After searching on google I know the missing library problem has existed since the early 2000s; why this glitch has yet to be fixed 13 years later is beyond me. I have personally never had this problem until updating to 11, and seeing the many other threads on here this appears to me to be an issue with this version of the software more than it has been in previous versions.
Before I continue, I have tried the following to fix it:
Simply readded my whole library. It was only wiped again a few weeks later.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That didn't work either, so it's not just an updating problem.
What I haven't tried
Changing where on my computer iTunes is installed. I have no idea where on the computer might be better or if it will change anything. I have iTunes installed on its default location on my local C: disk.
Importing the music directly from my iPod into iTunes. Can this be done? If so, how? Not everything on my iTunes is a store purchase, most of it is imported CDs and also amazon purchases too. So I don't know if the transfer purchases option works. While this wouldn't fix this current issue, I would like to know how to do this if possible since it would just be a quick fix whenever this happens.
What is happening:
So each time this has happened, what occurs is that like many other people, one day I open my iTunes and everything is in order. Then the next, for no reason, all of my libraries are gone but the music is still on my computer, organized in their files the way iTunes had them done so upon importing. I can't use the .itl files in the "previous libraries" folder because they have also been re-written. Upon opening them, even if their last save was on a day I know everything was in working order, opening them does nothing but give me the same blank default page.
What isn't mentioned in a lot of the posts regarding this issue, is the sudden crop of temporary files in the iTunes folder.
The ones that have cropped up for me personally are the following:
iT 1.tmp
iT 2.tmp
iT 3.tmp
iT 4.tmp
Temp file 1.tmp
Temp file 2. tmp
Those were not there the last time I used iTunes, and they're never there on the days I've used it before and it has worked correctly. However every time my library is wiped, these files suddenly appear without fail, every time. I can't open them, I can't do anything with them except delete them. I believe I remember reading somewhere that this might be an issue regarding with how the program is saving the progress of your library changing, and that the temp files are there until it can "officially" save what has happened to your library. While I didn't change anything in my library in the last couple of weeks, I'm assuming this also counts things like play count.
My own personal opinion
Seeing just how many threads with this issue are popping up, this leads me to believe that this isn't just a problem with my personal computer or my personal install of iTunes 11. These temp files also lead me to believe that as well. In other words, whatever glitch has existed with iTunes since the early 2000s is for some reason running rampant in version 11.
TL;DR:
Please developers, actually look at this library glitch within the program itself. It can't just be an individual user's problem because way too many people are experiencing it.

No worries. You've probably run into one the other threads I've posted to but I'll add my thoughts here anyway...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Missing library imath/engines/lvmath

Hi all, so i am trying to run an older .vi (several of them actually) not sure which version they were created in. My guess would be 8.2 or 8.5. I am using 2010 and there seems to be a missing library imath/engines/lvmath
included in this is a bunch of MC_(somthing) type vi's
also having the same problem with some excel vi's
thoughts?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That looks like the code was using MathScript. In current versions of LabVIEW MathScript is an add-on. That you have to buy. So, you can:
Rewrite the code to not use MathScript
Buy MathScript
Use an alternative. Scilab might work for you.
P.S. When you try to close the VI LabVIEW will ask you if you want to save the file. If you click on the link that says "Describe changes" (or something like that), it will tell you the version of LabVIEW used to write the VI originally.

Recommended third party library instruments?

New Apple user here - last used Logic 8 years ago, and while getting to grips with it again, stumbled into the Library instruments.
Was just looking to hook up my old Korg, but now blown away by the Library instruments in Logic - no need for a new Korg.
While many of the sounds are great, I'm finding the strings to be pretty weak. From previous reading on these forums I saw the Vienna Symphonic Library recommended.
I'm presuming this is basically a dedicated set of orchestral instruments for the Logic library? If so, am tempted to go with the Standard Special Edition bundle as it seems an affordable way to get into using it.
However, I'm also looking out for choral and world music sounds, but not sure where to look.
Any pointers and/or recommendations - even keywords for Google searches - would certainly be appreciated.

The orchestral party pug ins you are already looking at are among the best, no question. But for good strings at a reasonable price the IK Multimedia Philharmonik is quite good, don't pay the price you'll see it for... I paid like $300 or so. The Wallander group is making some very good brass, flutes and oboes for a good price as well, you can pay as you go with them as well.
However, if money isn't an object, then you are correct, the Eastwest and the Vienna instrument groups are the industry standard, best as I can tell, an probably for good reason. Good luck- you're gonna have fun.

Script to find missing library references

When readline5 came out I decided to write a quick shell script to find any binary that references readline4. Then I generalized it:
#!/bin/bash
# 2004/08/22 K. Piche Find missing library references.
ifs=$IFS
IFS=':'
libdirs="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/opt/gnome/lib:/opt/qt/lib:/opt/mozilla/lib/mozilla-1.7:/opt/kde/lib"
extras=
# Check ELF binaries in the PATH and specified dir trees.
for tree in $PATH $libdirs $extras
do
echo DIR $tree
# Get list of files in tree.
files=$(find $tree -type f)
IFS=$ifs
for i in $files
do
if [ `file $i | grep -c 'ELF'` -ne 0 ]; then
# Is an ELF binary.
if [ `ldd $i 2>/dev/null | grep -c 'not found'` -ne 0 ]; then
# Missing lib.
echo "$i:"
ldd $i 2>/dev/null | grep 'not found'
fi
fi
done
done
exit
I successfully used it to find readline4 usage by guile and jack, and other older library references in other packages. Hope the devs or somebody finds it useful. And yeah it could pull the lib dirs from ld.so.conf or search the whole system but it is quick and dirty...
PS. Without the /dev/null redirects ldd reports tons of libraries without the exec bit set. Take it out if you want to see that stuff.

RE: Missing Library Items CS6

Hello Everyone.
I am Downloading the Missing Library from this Link, Is this the correct Link ?
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/download-library-content.html
After I Downloaded the Zip Folder, Where Do I need to copy paste the Items ?
I looked under Adobe/ Adobe Encore CS6, but I Dont see any folder called Library.
Please let me know where I have to copy paste the files
Thanks.

>Where Do I need to copy paste the Items ?
It tells you at that link
Depending upon your operating system, copy the Library, main, Styles, and Template folders from the folder containing the extracted library content to the appropriate location:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\
You will then have
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library\Corporate
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library\Education
...and so on for all of the folders

"MISSING LIBRARY' that what itunes keep on saying

From a while i installed itunes on my my sisters pc that runs windows and it was working normally but yesterday she was putting some songs on her ipod nano and she had a problem, so what i did is that i reinstalled itunes and it gives me that it finished installing but when i open itunes it says "missing library" and i cant do anything so what is the solution for this problem?

I have the same problem too. It is frustrating since I have the account for more than 3 years and now I try to purchase an app for my kid and I can't do it. I use Paypal, I change to my credit card and still have the same problem. I choose my country by pulldown and still having the same "invalid address" message.
I'm a regular buyer and now I can not do that.

Logic X - Exs24 missing "legacy instruments" folder

HI,
I'm missing the Legacy Instruments folder in my EXS24. It's not in the sampler, and it's not in the file system (/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments). There _should_ be a folder there called "12 Legacy Instruments", but it doesn't exist.
I've found a few other threads on this and tried:
repairing permissions.
REindexing Spotlight
re-downloading Legacy and Compatibility from Download Additional Content
Suggestions please?
Thanks!
logic 10.0.7
Mac 10.9.4

OK, I figured out that this Legacy content is on the Logic 9 install disks. Here's how I solved it. I used Pacifist, which was mentioned in some other threads, but not really explained. I was also unsure whether this was a Logic 9 legacy issue, or something from way back in Logic 7 or 8. Hopefully this will help someone....
1. Download and install Pacifist from Charlessoft
2. Get all your Logic 9 disks ready, and open the Logic Studio Install disk in Pacifist. (You will need to insert all the Logic disks to open the complete package.)
3. in Pacifist, search "legacy". In mine, this gave 5 results: Legacy Bass Guitar, 10 Legacy Instruments, 04 Logic Legacy Kits, 12 Legacy Instruments, and 06 Legacy Spaces. The Pacifist browser window shows the file path.
4. In the Pacifist browser, right-click (or control-click) on the folder, and choose "Extract to Custom Location...", and extract to the corresponding location on your hard drive:
/Library/Application Support/Logic/Channel Strip Settings/Track/04 Bass Guitar/Legacy Bass Guitar/
/Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/10 Legacy Instruments/
/Library/Application Support/Logic/Plug-In Settings/Ultrabeat/04 Logic Legacy Kits/
/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments/12 Legacy Instruments/
/Library/Audio/Impulse Responses/Apple/06 Legacy Spaces
That should be all you need to add the Legacy content, without doing a full install. They are all just presets, except the EXS stuff, which is presets and samples — so if you want that you need to add both the EXS Factory Samples/10 Legacy Instruments AND the Sampler Instruments/12 Legacy Instruments. Otherwise they can be added modularly.

Missing Templates & Missing Soundtrack Instruments...

On an iMac we recently did a full HD erase and clean install of Leopard. We just did a clean full install of FCS1 (5.1.4) ran all updates and it is working just fine. However in DVDSP and in Soundtrack Pro assets are missing and cannot be found...
All of the templates in DVDSP and all of the instruments and SFX in Soundtrack Pro are gone. We did a FULL install and used all of the discs the default install configuration, nothing out of the ordinary. I searched in the Machintosh HD>Library>Application Support>DVDSP folder for templates - EMPTY same for Soundtrack Pro. Is that the correct place to be looking? I tried searching in Spotlight for templates and can't find anything same with Soundtrack Pro.
I've searched around on the forums and tried others suggestions but still with no success. Any suggestions?

during installation one can elect to install or not install templates. (I choose not to install the PAL templates, for example) And if they're moved, say to a different drive, they can get lost. Reinstallation is not a big deal at all. And you may be able to install just the templates. I haven't done that in a while.

Missing Software Instrument after Leo Install

Just a quick prelude...
While updating from Tiger to Leo with Archive and Install, the install crapped out on a bad printer driver (some kind of error about a Lexmark printer drivee and then restarted).
Well because of the error, I could not do anything but a clean install because the previous install had already gotten to the point of creating the Previous Systems folder.
So, I install Leo and start the ARDUOUS task of reinstalling my software. I start my iLive 08 install from the DVD (since Leo does not come with iLife), and installed Jam Packs 1 through 6, and everything seemed to have go OK. UNTIL, I started up Garageband and a number of software instruments are now grayed out. And they all seem to be Sftw instrument that have been there since GB1.
i.e. In the track Info panel, under the Sftw inst button, if I select "Garageband", the vast majority of the instrument are grayed out: ALL the Guitars, Synth Textures & Woodwinds are grayed, and maybe only a couple instruments available (BLACK) in the other categories.
Since these BASE instrument did not get installed, I can only assume that, A) they are not included in iLife '08, or B) something is going hinky in the install.
I have tried the install twice, and they is zero change in the status of the base instruments.
Can anyone help me getting this base instrument reinstalled.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
FYI - I had iLife 08 installed in Tiger and all the instruments were there. I have searched the entire drive with Spotlight and EasyFind and the missing sftw instr are not anywhere on the drive, not even in the Previous Systems folder. And, yes I have checked the Garageband folders in both the system Library and the old and new user library.

Thanks.
Maybe it was too late in the morning, or maybe it was because I was up for 40 hrs dealing with all the complications that occur when an upgrade install craps out on you.... whatever the reason, I could not see the custom install on 4 different re-installs of iLife '08.. UNTIL... you said "do a custom install"!
I swear, I was so frustrated because I could not find the custom install, and I was sure there should be one!..
Oh, well. Guess I just needed some sleep to clear up the goggles...
Still missing a few Sftw instruments though, and I can't seem to figure out where they came from initially. i.e. Guitos (a big bongo often used in latin bands). I used the have it, have song tracks set to use it, but now it is gone from the sfwr inst list completely. I checked the docs for each jam pack, and I can't find it listed either - maybe that goggle thing again.
Have you heard of this instr, and if so, do you know which jam pack it came from?
Well, back to fixing the 400 other items that screwed up when the upgrade failed. At least I got FCS2 reinstalled without too many issues, except NONE of the APPLE templates are showing up in DVDSP, although ALL my custom templates are listed just fine.
Curiouser and curiouser...
Thanks again.

DVD problem with missing loops, instruments

(trying to get a helpful subject there for those searching for answers)
the fact that the loops are greyed out and instruments missing in new garagebands is well known. so is the solution of installing from DVD. i cant seem to get that to work for my high school music class.
back story is that every student has a macbook (yes i know.. amazing). thing is, most students give their macs to the IT department to get their machines 'set up' and the IT department collects their DVDs. i borrowed a bunch of those DVDs from the IT department and inserted the DVD when asked but its just not working..
any ideas? do i need to get the EXACT DVDs that came with the machine? i doubt that.
also - why doesnt any of the download options work? does anyone from apple know thats broken?
lastly - what about instruments? i can get the students some loops by dragging loops of my machine into garageband (using target disk mode), but how do i get instruments? i dont drag them into the loop browser, so where might they get put? should i put them in /Application Support/?
as we're talking about 37 students (this semster - last semester we had an ugly fix) i thought i'd ask before i did something.
thanks a bunch..

Missing Library presets in Encore CS5.1. Is there a download for this?

I have Adobe Encore CS5.1 running on my Mac, however the preset library is empty. The only link I could find to download them was this: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html#Download the extra library content but this only seems to cater for CS6 and upwards. Is there somewhere I can retrieve the library folder?

No I downloaded the CS5.5 creative suite a few years ago. Although all the products are CS5.5, for some reason Encore is CS5.1. I'm sure why that is, but the library is completely empty.
Encore was not a "full" upgrade, so it got a minor version increase. But the bottom line is that the version of Encore in CS 5.5 is Encore CS5.1.
An oddity of the Encore CS6 library install is that it REMOVED the library for CS5.1. Never did figure out what the logic was or whether it was a bug. A real mess.
But the bottom line for you is to use the CS6 library but install it using the following method rather than the dmg installer.
Encore Help | Download full library content/functional content
This method just involves extracting it and putting the folders in the right places. In addition to the library folder, you can also put the styles (fonts etc) and templates (flash export) in.
Edit: if it wasn't clear, you are going to put the library etc into your Encore 5.1 install directory.

Am I missing library instruments?
