GB 2 Instrument Library Invalid

Hi! After reading the post and answer re:Paul Bonomo 12-23-06. I was able to get my GB 2 open. However, I had to take the Instrument Library out of my application folder and place it on the desk top. For reasons unknown when in the application folder the Instrument Library is not being recognized. Can anyone provide me with insight into this problem?

Dear Scott (and AppleGuy)
Thank you for the 'heads-up'.
We have executed your proposed trial remediations.
As yet .. we have a no change situation.
Same 'error' message on GarageBand opening.
Below is the 'disk utility' repair report from Tiger 10.4.2 .
Repairing permissions for Macintosh HD
Determining correct file permissions.
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Library/Widgets. New permissions are 16877
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./usr/lib/php/build/acinclude.m4. New permissions are 33060
Permissions repair complete
The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
We took your advice and ran several keyword searches in the Garageband forums .. yet
were only able to discover your proposed (linked) solutions. Guess we need a few lessons in forum
searching too.
You could easily foresee our next question a mile off .. and that is .. what's next?
And now we are operating Tiger 10.4.3 .
Here's an interesting development .. at iMac start-up .. an icon flashes for
about a minute then resolves to a folder .. alternating between ? folder
and Mac face folder .. then eventually .. machine proceeds to display the
grey apple and spinning 'wheel' and then opens to business as usual ..
about a five minute procedure in total. Never seen before .. until
the attempted repair routine .. and no change since updating to Tiger 10.4.3 .
Curious about the unexpected delayed start-up routine. Investigating ...
Stuart.

Why is the Instrument Library invalid?

Hi-
Had problems with my hard drive and I managed to loose GarageBand. I was able to get the GarageBand 3 program (102.7 MB) and the Instrument file (1.52 GB) from a friend. Placed the GarageBand program into the Applications folder, and the Instrument Library in the Library/Application Support/ GarageBand file. When I try to launch the program, it still says I need to place a valid Instrument Library in the Library/Applicaion Support/ GarageBand file or load another GarageBand program. I thought that is exactly what I did??!!?? What do I have to do to get this thing to work?
Dying to figure this out-

Hi-
The problem is I have the install discs for the original OS that came with the computer. Then, I have the Tiger OS and I've updated to 10.4.10 since that. When I run the old OS discs, it doesn't give me a choice to custom install GarageBand, and I don't want to put my new software into another file and install an old OS completely just to find GarageBand. What are my choices?

I have installled garageband, but it says my instrument library is invalid.

I have installled garageband, but it says my instrument library is invalid...
please help!!!!

I have had the same problem, and I think it might relate to the fact that the account that is trying to launch GB is a non-admin account. I was able to launch the program OK from an admin account and then as soon as I try to launch it from my son's account (limited), it gave me the error.
I need to find a work around, because my son likes GB, but I am not about to make him an admin user to to use GB.

I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?

I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?

Thanks very much. Yes, I am using the installer files and serial number from the URL you referenced above. I have spent many hours trying to get it to work. I would love some help!!
The problem is that the instructions that come in the pdf with the downloaded files do not work, because the files that download from that page do not have the names referred to in the pdf, and most of the things that are referred to in the instructions do not happen. Here is what actually happened.
When I downloaded the files from the website, these are the files that downloaded:
I double-clicked each one and they extracted into two different folders.
Then I read a message on the forum that said to move all the extractred files into the same folder, so I moved all files into one file at C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 as was pictured in the forum message. Here are screen shots showing all of the files in that folder I have now:
So then I double clicked the "Setup" file and I got this error message:
So then I tried to install the programs separately from the installer inside the folders Photoshop and Illustrator. I got this far and entered the serial number from the website:
But then I got this error message, even though I was using the files and serial number exactly from the website:
I tried both photoshop and illustrator and the same thing happened.
(I also looked at Solution 2 that you mentioned above but I don't have anything called VCOM on the computer. Also the error message that I got is not that one.)
I think I really need a set of instructions that lists the steps in order to do, but based on the files that actually download from the website and what happens when you extract the files. I feel as if I have all of the proper files but it still doesn't work.
Thank you very much!

Bought ilife 05, invalid instrument library

Hello,
I just bought a copy of iLife '05 and used the install dvd to install it. The main reason I bought iLife 05 was for Garageband. However, when I open Garageband, it tells me the instrument library is invalid. So I click "choose", and select the folder "instrument library" in the Garageband folder, but it just keeps telling me the same thing. Can anyone help? Thank you,
Scott

Your instrument library is HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library. If the folder is there, it might be a permissions problem - try the general "oddball" fix:

Invalid Instrument Library

Why is my GarageBand not working? It will not even come up and just says I do not have a valid instrument library folder.

I am having the same problem. It started after an erase and install that I had to do on my HD. Does anybody know anything to do?

Garage Band Error Message - Library Invalid

My Hard Drive burned out. I had a new one installed and all programs transfered over. Everything works but my GB. This is the message I get. Can anyone help? To the best of my knowledge GB came installed. I have OS X 10.4.10.
The Instrument Library is invalid. GarageBand expects a valid Instrument Library folder in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand.
Please choose a valid Instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GarageBand.

Hi,
So, did you look in:
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
for an "Instrument Library" folder?
Is it there?
Are there folders inside it that say:
Plug-In Settings
Sampler
Track Settings
In the Sampler folder, there should be two folders:
Sampler Files
(this one contains folders that hold the Audio samples for the Instruments)
Sampler Instruments
(this one holds the Instruments as .exs files).

How do I get my 3rd party instruments to show up in my Logic Pro instrument library?

I have purchased and downloaded orchestra instrument libraries from Albion. How do I get them to show up in my instrument library so they can be used?

Hi
If you mean the Spitfire Albion series (?) these run within Kontakt.
Most 3rd party plugins do not directly support the Logic Library, so you would need to manually load in the plugin and any setting within the plug itself.
You can then save that as a "Logic" Setting or Patch, which will show up in the Library.
There is a large collection of Logic Settings for many 3rd party plugs over at LogicProHelp.com

Compile error: Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found

Office Online 365 installed today January 20 on brand new HP Envy. Get the above message when loading Excel applications with code and when running code. Will greatly appreciate help. Applications run well on other computers.

Hi Jaime,
>> Get the above message when loading Excel applications with code and when running code. Will greatly appreciate help. Applications run well on other computers.
>> Compile error: Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found
According to the error message, it seems some ActiveX control is not registered successfully on the new machine.
Would you mind telling us which ActiveX controls you used in the workbook?
>> For my applications Excel from Office 365 is now useless. Should I just let my subscription run out and purchase another version?
According to my experience, this issue is not related to the subscription.

Jeffrey

Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found problem

Hello,
Yesterday I got the following error on the server: "object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found problem".
I found this documentation, followed the steps and all was OK on the server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2703186/en-us
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/e94f2fc3-71f1-4dad-bbf1-37f906e28e8e/object-library-invalid-or-contains-references-to-object-definitions-that-could-not-be-found?forum=exceldev
Our server is used to do batch processing for refreshing our excel's. This morning, after the excel's got refreshed on the server, I've got this error on the
client computers (everything works fine on the server computer). I did the steps above on the client computers, but the problem still persists.
It looks like there is a difference in version between server and client.
If I do the refreshing on the same computer there is no problem. But when the server does the refreshing and I try to open it on a different computer, I get this error.
The security update has been removed from the computer, but I can't use my excel's anymore.
Does any one have some advice for me?
Best regards,
Wouter

Hi Wouter,
Thanks for the further explaintation.
According to the description, the issue seems that the Workboook on the client side(with lower Excel version) couldn't run the VBA after it opened by server(higher version Excel application).
If I understood correctly, that sounds that the issue is relative to the specific version of Excel product or the updates.
I suggest you contacting Microsoft support to raise an incident so that our engineer could work closely with him to identify the root cause and resolve this issue as soon as possible.
If the support engineer determines that the issue is the result of a bug the service request will be a no-charge case and you won't be charged.

Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found

I have an excel macro application. It works ok in my machine. Whenever I send it to my colleague and he opens the file and save and send it back to me, I get the below error. But, it is working
ok in my colleague machine.
Compile error:
Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found
Looks like some recent windows update is causing this issue. I tried to delete the temporary file from the command prompt as mentioned in some of the forums using the below command. But, still it
is not working.
DEL /S /A:H /A:-H *.EXD
Even tried to uninstall the recent windows update on both of our machines, but still the issue is not resolved. It is working ok in his machine, but I get the compile error. Please share your thoughts.
Thanks.
Below are the references available in the excel macro application. There is no missing reference error on both of our machines. We both are using Excel 2010 32 bit. My OS is windows 7 64 bit and
my college is having windows 7 32 bit.
Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library
Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library
Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library

Microsoft XML, v6.0

"Looks like some recent windows update is causing this issue. I tried to delete the temporary file from the command prompt as mentioned in some of the forums

I've heard some cases that even deleting EXD files and running the FixIt tools, ActiveX controls weren't working.
Can you confirm if you can insert ActiveX controls in your worksheet, please?

ITunes 7 calls my library invalid

after upgradeing to itunes 7 i got this message
the file "iTunes Library" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes library (damaged)"
this deleated over 1000 of my songs... which i backed up so it's not really alost... but whats wrong with my old library and will it happen again
also now when playing songs on iTunes i hear a clicking sound from my speakers. its not the speakers cause it only happens when i'm playing iTunes

ok i just discovered somthing rather interesting
all this time after iTunes said my library was damaged i was trying to re upload all my songs from out side sources (DVDs External HD etc) and eventually i was being informd that i was running out of space on my HD.
in my KAT>MUSIC>iTUNES>iTUNES MUSIC folder...all my songs are there... undamaged and i was able to simply copy them back to iTunes from there.... file folder by file folder.... brought back almost 8000 songs so my total in iTunes library was up too about 10,000.
then as i was re nameing some of the files in itunes (deleteing some copies etc) iTunes shut down. when i restarted it, it said once again... "your iTunes Library is invalid.... we are retriveing your library and calling the old library iTunes Library (Damaged) 1" when i opened iTunes i was back down to 2000 songs
so now in my KAT>MUSIC>iTUNES folder there is...
iTunes Library 4MB
iTunes Library (damaged) 13MB
iTunes Library (damaged)1 15MB
and in my KAT>MUSIC>iTUNES>iTUNESMUSIC folder there are all my songs
why does it keep calling my library invalid and should i even bother re-copying the songs to iTunes. should i delete the (damaged) libraries that are takeing up so much space in the HD
