Installed Libraries and Solo Instruments

Hi
My son and I have been teaching ourselves how to use this software and are having some great results with it. However, I am not sure whether all the libraries have installed properly as we do not seem to have a solo trumpet or trombone for example. Just seems weird that you get a bunch of them as a sampled sound but not a solo instrument. I suspect it is just us........ Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Funnily, those two (trumpet and trombone) don't appear as solo instruments, only as ensembles (in the Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra). Why? I don't know. They're just not there.

Want to erase and install & reinstall iTunes libraries and some documents

My iMac G4 Flat Panel is 9gb shy of being totally full and performance really suffers as a result. I want to erase the drive and install Leopard (I just bought a new disk).
What is the best way(s)/procedures to backup my iTunes libraries and some documents so that I can reinstall them on the newly formatted drive?
After paying for the Leopard disk, I don't want to buy any other programs to do the backup. I have been backing up the drive to an external using Backup.

Steven,
Backup is a fine application, but it typically targets specific items to be backed up. Meaning, that it is not necessarily entirely comprehensive. At least not in the context of migrating from one installation to another.
One of the concepts present in OS X is the idea that everything that makes your account "yours," all of your data, settings, history, etc., is entirely contained within your HOME folder. By moving that HOME folder into any new installation, you essentially transplant your entire experience as a user into the new location. In many cases, this works so well that, if someone did it behind your back while "swapping" computers with you, you would never know the difference. That's how it works, in theory.
In practice, there are usually some minor things that pop up in such a transfer, but these are all minor in the extreme. One might end up with a "question mark" or two in one's Dock, resulting from the absence of a linked application in the new installation. The question mark can be removed, or the application in question can be installed, so these things are easy enough to fix.
Your situation is complicated somewhat by the fact that you want to "whittle down" what you restore to the new installation. The assumption I make, based on your posts, is that you have only the one account, and your single HOME folder contains enough data to consume most of your disk space. OK, you can handle this several ways...
You could cover all bases by making one complete backup of your HOME folder as it is now, then begin "whittling down" what you have now before wiping your drive and reinstalling. This would give you the opportunity to reduce your disk space consumption while still working within your HOME folder; testing what you do, as it were, and with the knowledge that your deletions are not irreversible. When you find the right balance between what you can delete and what you must keep, you can make an additional backup of your reduced HOME folder (provided you have enough space on your external drive).
Or, you could make a complete backup of your HOME folder, as it exists now, then go ahead and format/reinstall. You would then have to decide what you will move from the backup into your new account. Part of this process is knowing just where to place transferred items for everything to work properly. As far as simple files are concerned, it wouldn't make any difference where you place them. Items contained in libraries, however, might be quite complicated to move, unless you simply moved the entire libraries in question. In these cases, the libraries themselves must be transferred to the correct locations. It's not an insurmountable problem, but it does complicate matters a bit.
Finally, you could backup and restore the HOME folder as it currently exists. Typically, the process of formatting and reinstalling, then restoring user data, results in a more compact installation. Over time, any installation accrues some fragmented free space, and this effectively reduces the storage capacity of a volume. As much as or more than 10% of the size of the volume can be recovered this way. In any case, your new installation will be smaller than the old to some degree, even with all of your user data restored. Once you get to this point, you could begin reducing the amount of data you have stored, just as in option #1 above, and again safe in the knowledge that nothing you delete is irrecoverable.
rsync is powerful. While it is easy to use, it has many options and is therefore complex to learn. Its "man pages" might be considered daunting. I could provide a copy and paste command for you to run which would make a complete backup of your HOME folder, provided I knew the path to a destination. The exact name of your external drive, along with any nested folders therein you might want to use as a destination, would suffice.
If you want to read more about rsync yourself, open Terminal and type "man rsync," then press <RETURN>. The "man" application will scroll line by line by using the arrow keys, and page by page by pressing the spacebar. Press "q" to quit the man application.

GarageBand locks up after installing Finale 2008 and Garritan Instruments

I'm having a problem with GarageBand 3 and Native Instruments (or Finale 2008a or Garritan Instruments)...
Our school bought a Finale 2008 5-pack which I'm installing on four new MacMinis and a MacBook. All of the computers have 1GB or RAM. We're running Mac OS 10.4.11 and iLife '06 (GarageBand 3.0.4)
I installed Finale 2008 as well as the updater to Finale 2008a. In addition, I installed the Garritan Instruments from the Finale CDs.
At [root level] on the Mac, GarageBand works fine. But, when users login on the same computer and launch GarageBand, the following error message appears:
Native Instruments
Installation folder is not writable. Pease select a folder now.
GarageBand locks up and the user must force-quit. Prior to installing Finale and the Garritan Instruments, GarageBand was working fine.
Suggestions???

I (finally) found an answer to this after several emails with Finale support and Native Instruments support. Solved by repairing permissions AND installing the "Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installer Patch for KONTAKT PLAYER" from...
http://www.native-instruments.com/
I installed this patch while logged in at root - then, repaired permissions afterwards.
Even though the 'problem computers' are running 10.4.11, it's the 10.5 Leopard patch that fixed it!!!

General question about sound libraries and instruments in Logic

Hello all...
I am possibly looking to upgrade from Logic Express 8 to Logic Pro, mostly to take advantage of the vast sound library's and software instruments. My question is to those who are familiar with the sounds, vintage instruments etc. I have a Nord Stage piano with incredible acoustic and electric piano samples...I'm thinking of selling my Nord but I don't want to lose the incredible instrument recreations...can the sounds in Logic Pro compete with the real thing for trained ears?

I see this type of question all the time.
It doesn't matter.
When someone listens to your song it doesn't matter what type of instrument you use, real or not.
If the melody isn't there, no one is going to remember your song.
You know when you get the song right when people hum it while walking, taking the bus, etc...
What they don't talk about is, hey, Sweetsonic used a pretty good Nord on that one song....
Buy Logic 8 cause the massive amount of instruments you get with it will help you explore other instruments, which can lead to a creative song.
Look at the Beatles, when George Harrison experimented with the Sitar, they got more classic songs.

Jam Packs and "Garageband Instruments" when reinstalling Logic?

What's the proper procedure when it comes to Jam Packs and 3rd party Apple Loops libraries when reinstalling Logic and OS X?
I'm keeping my Apple Loops on a separate drive and know that I can just drag them to the Loop Browser after reinstalling Logic. However, by doing so, I don't think I'll be getting the "Garageband Instruments" that are installed with the Jam Packs and some 3rd party Apple Loops libraries. Is that correct? If so, what's the best way to deal with this? Always installing all Apple Loops from the disks or perhaps saving a folder (which one?) with the Garageband Instruments before re-installing OS X?
When I last installed Logic, and told the installer to install the Jam Packs on an external drive, they were still installed on the system drive! Does anyone know why? Now what's the best way to move the Apple Loops? What I've done in the past is installing them to their default location, and then creating an alias in Home:Library:Audio:Apple Loops folder that points to the new location on the external drive. Is that the way to go or is another way better?
Any input or help would be greatly appreciated.

Jam packs consist of two types of content. Loop content will go to where you choose to install it (an external drive if you wish). Instrument content has to go to the GB library, for a number of reasons, and the GB library will be on your system disk under Application Support/Garageband.
So backup your GB library in addition to your Logic related stuff.
It is possible to move much (but not all) of the heavy Instrument content to an external drive too, but there are gotchas with this.

Can't find sound libraries in AU instruments?

I was doing so well. I installed east West and they showed up and I could pull them into a logic project.
Then I installed Omnisphere and could use them also. Then I installed Komplete 5 by Native Instruments and now all that shows up is Apple and native Instruments.
All of these sound libraries are stored on an external drive.
Anybody know how to have Omni and East West appear again?
Scott

That's a lot of stuff, & although that isn't a problem in itself, each of those have been known to cause problems on their own. So this could take a bit of working out… it would help if you could give us all possible details about your system.
Then you could Refresh your Library +(Media button > Library > Refresh Library).+
And check in EXS24 to see if they do turn up.
Then there's your external hard drive — have you ever formatted it since you bought it? If not, it's probably formatted for Windows. +Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility+ — you need to use +Mac OS Extended.+
This discussion deals with where things can be put & where they can subsequently be moved: [Make Room!|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2026399&tstart=0]
Also note that some libraries for multiple formats only have one set of samples, which will be in a different folder from the EXS24 files, so you will need to locate all the relevant folders…

Logic refuses to install libraries.

so, I recently downloaded Logic Pro X. at first, i was upset by the lack of instruments, and then i found a few of the jampacks and libraries, including choir, which i'm so happy about. I'm new to Logic, as well as making music in general, but I've already sort of found my way around. unfortunately, there aren't many default instruments in the library, so I need to use the legacy library. but unfortunately, the only thing in that library that succeeded in downloading was the choir, despite the prompt of "something's missing from your library, Logic needs to download it" that I keep getting. I let it do its thing and download, then it tells me that it's installing, then it finishes, then i refresh my library, and restart Logic, and it's still not downloaded.
do I need to manually install these? if so, the only thing in Application Support for Logic is "LoopsDatabaseV08.db". I also have no idea where to find these files I need, any help would be appreciated.

Shanabit, thanks for the help. i fixed it. i had to go to window > downloads and force it to install libraries instead of hitting "download now" when the "libraries missing" thing popped up. these links you sent me were the links that i originally tried to get content from. they loaded up the needed directories, but Logic somehow still registered them as incomplete
I don't know how it fixed it, but loading up that s\entire section of the legacy library fixed it, I think.
anyway, thanks!

SharePoint 2013 - document libraries and newsfeeds are visible when viewed using Internet Explorer running on the server but not from any other machine

On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using
Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it.

Working with libraries and setting up on two computers

I have been trying Lightroom on my PC and just now took the plunge and bought it (for home use: family and amateur photography). I have installed it on both the PC and laptop (Mac). Sadly the first time I tried using 1.2 having been using 1.0 and 1.1 it said there was a problem reading the library and had to check it... a bit scary...
I am trying to work out how to set-up my system. I intend to have files on an external drive which I can then move from Mac to PC as necessary (i.e. only using one at a time): the PC is mine, the Mac is my wifes, and this seems to be the only way of allowing us to share the photos in a way which is not hugely complicated and confusing.
Any changes we make to the photos on each machine should be visible on the other. From my understanding, that means the library has to be on the external drive, not just the image files?
At the moment the image files and library are on my PC internal drive, imported "at their present location". Is it possible to change the kind of import (to move the image files directly into the library)? Of course it is possible to re-import from scratch, but as there are keywords already organised, and some files have been edited in PS I would lose all that, wouldn't I? Is there a more sophisticated way of changing how the files are organised?
And when I get the external drive, can I just move the libraries and image files and then tell Lightroom about the move, or is it going to be more difficult than that?
thanks in advance
Nic

Reading over your message, I am a little unclear about how far along you are in sharing your LightRoom setup with the Laptop. I am going to assume that right now Lightroom and the pictures are both on the PC and on an internal Hard Drive. And except for the scary message you had at the beginning of changing to ver 1.2, everything is working ok. Yes?
What I'd do is wait until you get the external drive up and working. Once you are satisfied that the system works ok, and you have tested it with whatever diagnostic software you use, you are ready to start moving your images to the new drive.
Do a good backup of your images to your backup drive.
Move them to the hard drive from within Lightroom: Use the '+' symbol in the heading of the Folders panel to tell LR to add a new folder from the external drive to the LR folders panel, and then drag and drop the folders already in LR over to their new home.
This way the LR Catalog will always know where the files are.
Then when you are sure that all the image files are on the external drive and LR sees them all and everything is working correctly, exit from LR and copy the catalog file over there.
I used to use windows systems, although I converted to Mac a few years ago. You should be able to double-click on that catalog file that is on the external drive and it should start Lightroom and you should be good to go.
I just used the word "should" three times meaning I'm not really positive about that last step; if I'm wrong I hope someone on a PC will post a correction.
Once it is working OK on the PC with the external drive Load LR on the Laptop.
Best Wishes!

MAX 14.0 broken and database corrupt after installing LV2014 and latest device drivers

I have LV2012 and 2013 (both 32-bit) installed on my Win8.1 64-bit system and have used them without problem. I recently went through the agony of installing LV2014 32-bit from Dev Suite 2014 DS2 and the latest device drivers from the August 2014 DVD, and now MAX (v14.0) does not work. Firstly, it is slow to populate the System information display, secondly when I try to expand a tree I get a MAX Database Connection Error (see attached), and there is no software listed at all. Thirdly, devices are not listed properly even though appearing in Device Manager (eg. a CAN interface no longer lists CAN0 but does show the device but no configuration, same for USB DAQ devices I(see attached), and I do have CAN 14.0 installed), and there is nothing under Data Neighborhood.
Initial attempts to install LV2014 were prevented by the NI mDNS Responder and related services not stopping when required by the installer. This also affected attempts to repair MAX.
All 3 versions of LabVIEW run OK, but projects no longer include remote or RIO/FPGA hardware - possibly due to uninstalled support software - but without the software list in MAX I cannot tell what is and isn't installed.
I have performed a Reset Configuration Data, repaired MAX several times, uninstalled it (any all dependencies), turned of the firewall and virus software, and completely reinstalled LV2012, LV2013, LV2014, and device drivers, but with no change to the problem. I have now lost 2 whole days and I am getting desperate for a fix. Surely this cannot be the only case of this in the whole world.

Hi Dr.M
In order to workaround and repair your MAX problems , please see the following article (the Knowledge based article mentionned in the error):
I know you have been through a couple of these steps , but there may be some related links that could help as well.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B9107A7F281F9B408625720B0078E5A8?OpenDocument
As for your installation errors:
This error happens when a service gets hung up in a "stopping" state that does not allow the installer or uninstaller to remove it. This can happen with a number of different services, but it has appeared to happen mostly with the Lookout Citadel Server (lkcitadel server) and National Instruments Time Synchronization (lkTimeSync).
-To resolve the issue, open up the Services application by going to Start»Run and typing "services.msc" without the quotes. In the window that opens, find the service that the error message references. It will usually have a status of "Stopping."
-Double-click on the service to open the service's properties window as seen below.
-Try clicking Stop to stop the service. If this does not stop the service, set the service's type to Manualand restart the computer. It is safe to set the service to Manual because it will be started manually if it needs to run. After the restart, the service will not start automatically and you will be able to install or uninstall your software as necessary.
As for the devices not being visible have you downloaded the NI DAQmx drivers correctly(after installing LabVIEW).

How do I delete iTunes 12 and reinstall 11? 12 installed itself and updated a Library.

How do I delete iTunes 12?
I want to use iTunes 11 to access an older Library on its own Hard Disk Drive.
iTunes 12 installed itself, and the moment I opened it with one of my music Libraries, it updated the Library on that disks (and took forever—I have 27,000 tracks). (I thought I had automatic updates turned off. They are now! It has been listed at the App Store before this, but for some reason, this time it just installed at a Restart though I believe I never clicked on its Update button.)
I tried deleting 12, but it complains it is part of Mac OS! (I didn't really know this.)
I tried changing 12's permissions via Get Info, so I could Read & Write to the application. Nada. I also tried adding myself, and doing the same. Nothing.
And I tried to install iTunes 11.4 for OS X 10.6 after downloading it, but the install complained I had a newer version, and then quit.
It seems I am stuck with iTunes 12, and have no other options.
Sometimes Apple software *****. Whatever happened to Easy?
Help!
S.

If you have a Time Machine backup or a clone from before the time you updated, you may be able to restore from there. The iTunes 11.4 download works only for Snow Leopard.
---| I want to use iTunes 11 to access an older Library on its own Hard Disk Drive.
If that library is an .xml file you can move it to your desktop and in iTunes you can choose Import Playlist and select the Library.xml file. That will give you all the playlists on the old library.

How to install sound and vibration toolkit 8.5

Hello all, I have just started using labview and would like to run the "SVXMPL_Third Octave Analysis for Multiprocesor" example as an example for multithread programming, but I run into the issue that the "Sound and Vibration" toolkit is required before running the example. I have installed the labview 8.5. I have gone through the posed link and gone through the list of products installed in my machine (ControlPanel>Add and Remove Programs> National Instruments Software), but I couldn't find the "sound and vibration toolkit". I have tried to run the installation setup in order to add the toolkit. it looks like I have already installed all the available software. I don't know how I should install the toolkit. I appreciate on any comments on how to install the toolkit. I appreciate if you can help me on how to install "sound and vibration toolkit" in my machine.

Never mind. I got it.

RE: (forte-users) Node Installed Libraries

If you use Forte, the solution is to patch compcomp, or add a 'post-distrib'
script.
compcomp:
replace the -L/path/file by -L/path -l:file
Add -Wl,+s in link command
post-distrib:
# Enable SHLIB_PATH
for all binaries,
chatr +s enable $bin
done
# Enable dyunamic libs for all static
Libs=$(cahtr $bin | grep ^static)
for aLib in $Libs ; do
chatr $bin +s enable -l $aLib
done
cheers

Libraries have been a sore point with us too....
When we build something that uses a user created or third party
library the
explicit directory path is hard-coded into the build.
So when you deploy the application to a different machine there
is much grief
because the build can't find the library.
We got around this by "fooling" the build. We used directory
creation and soft
links in Unix so that the library appears to be in the same
directory on both machines.
I think this is called Static vs. Dynamic Libraries. We've talked
to Forte last
year about this and they indicated that this will be a
future enhancement. Don't hold your breath though.....

Hi,
We build here against a standard environment (1 NT server, 1 NT
modal node, 1 95 modal node)
I have noticed that forte is very picky about where it deploys
compiled partitions (and thus libraries). Basically if you
didn't make your
distribution against the environment you are installing on then
the compiled
partitions don't install and you will need to reconfigure the
application by
moving your partitions and libraries to the nodes that they should be.
Now I expected that would be the case between different
architectures (UNIX/NT) but I think forte expects you to compile against
each machine you want to install on.
Not much help I know.
Cheers
David

Hi guys,
When you deploy a library using Forte, if automatically updates the
"Installed Libraries" list of the target node. However, not always. My
question is, why? What property determines if a library should appear in
this list or not. Of course, you can always add or remove it manually. But
why doesn't it work the same automatically for all libraries.

Exceptions thrown after installing Forte4j and j2ee toolkit

Hi!
I've got a problem with Forte4j. I installed Forte4j and i worked fine. Then I insatlled the j2ee toolkit and Forte started to throw exceptions at startup. The added functionality I expected from the j2ee toolkit doesn't appear to be there either.
The exceptions I get is among others are java.lang.IllegalArgumentException, java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException,
java.lang.InstantiationException, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
Someone else who have had this problem?
Cia
Please help!

Same problem here.
It seems to be that it is not finding libraries from the j2ee home. For example the following message from the exception list in 'ide.log' is complaining about not finding a class which is in 'j2eetools.jar'.
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.sun.enterprise.tools.deployment.ui.DeployToolWindow
Tried adding this jar by hand to my class path, but other errors result.
