Installing audio and jam pack content

I'm running logic pro 9 on a mackbook pro and want to save sessions and store audio and jam pack content on a 7200rpm firewire 800 external hard drive. I installed the audio content on the external drive successfully but the installation software won't allow me to install the jam pack content on the external drive; it wants me to install it on the system drive which I had hoped to avoid.
Is there a way to perform the installation on the external drive?
I also installed logic on a mac pro, and on this install, the software won't allow me to install audio content or jam pack on a drive different than the system drive.
Any ideas on how to resolve these two issues?

hi joearturo
I've got the JPs on an ext hdd. It's been a while but as I recall I installed onto the system drive, then dragged the jam pack folder, say orchestra, into my plugins samples folder on the ext drive and deleted the folder on the sys drive.
When logic opened next it gave a message saying something like "can't find folder" choose location. A drop down box appeared with all the drives and I selected the ext and the appropriate folder. Everything was okay from then on.
Hope this helps, although its somewhat convoluted.
Scorpi.

Moving Audio and Jam Pack Content to second hard drive

I recently installed Logic Studio and all the content onto my startup hard drive (250 GB). I have a second internal hard drive (80 GB) that is wiped clean.
Can I safely move all the Audio and Jam Pack Content (contained originally on the 6 DVDs) from the startup hard drive to the second hard drive? Or do I have to go through the whole installation process again? If so, where is all the content located on my startup drive?
Thanks for help and advice on this newbie question.

Thanks. I found this which was helpful

I decided to move them to the external hard drive and not use an alias. I haven't even opened Logic yet so the Logic library should be ok.

I installed logic studio 9 but it says error when i install the jam pack content

The apple site says that logic 9 comes with six jam packs, but I only see 2 in the tab entitled "library." These are Jam Pack Voices and Jam Pack World Music and when I only put any of the jam pack Content Cd's (that come with logic studio) and click on the cd all it has on it is a text edit file. Is it a corrupted cd? I have seen other posts about it but no definite solution. any possible ideas? Thank You!

Hi
Something is not quite right here:
I have the original Studio 2 disks here, and the installer runs fine under OSX.8.3. It will install Logic Pro 9.0.0, which can then be updated by downloading the 9.1.7 or 9.1.8 updater from Apple Downloads.
On your system, the installer refuses to run, or does the install proceed, but you are unable to update Logic so that it will work on Mountain Lion?

Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x

The Portable Wireless Server WG-C10 I purchased in 2014 doesn't stream any audio and some video content after updating phone to Android Lollipop 5.x.
The WG-C10 firmware is the last version which is available and the PWS Manager software is the last version available in Google Play Store.
There are no updates for the WG-C10 firmware nor PWS Manager software since 2013 or for Android 5.x (Lollipop) and I don't know if the WG-C10 firmware is the problem or if the PWS Manager software is the problem.
BTW, I am still able to stream this content on my tablet which is on KitKat (4.4.x) so the files are not corrupted. The only problem is with Lollipop.
PWS Manager in the Google Play Store says it supports Android 4.0+ which is no longer true.
The audio file formats which fail to stream are: mp3 and wav
The video file formats which fail to stream are: mp4, avi and 3gp
JPEG Images appear to work fine, but I haven't tried other formats.
I purchased the WG-C10 to stream audio and video primarily to my phone and now that this no longer works, the WG-C10 is useless to me.
Any ideas?

Jam pack content error, any ideas?

Just did a re-install of Logic Studio, and all of the supplied content. When I make a new software instrument track and select a jam pack preset sound from the library browser, it loads the sound just fine, but when I try to select another sound it says "File not found / result code =-43." If I create a new software instrument track, and repeat the process, the same error code comes up. Any idea why it would let me load just a single sound, then give me the error message when I try to select another?

I don't usually use Jam Packs so today was the first time I've checked to see if they are there. Nope. I only have Jam Pack 1 showing up in my library. I checked GarageBand and it sees all 5, so something is wrong with Logic Studio not seeing them.
I did a full upgrade from Logic 7 and have never had Jam Packs before (so they are not left over from a previous install). When I did the upgrade, all options were available and I just did a full install, not a custom one. It said it completed successfully.
Any ideas on how I can get Logic Studio to see the Jam Packs?

Re-installing FCS and keeping old content question.

Hi
After a corrupted OS update I'm having to reinstall everything on my MacBook Pro. When I had previously installed FCS2, I installed the content on an external Firewire drive.
I'm re-installing FCS2 again but would like to use the content that was initially installed to save half a day!!!
So... If I exclude all the content during the new installation, do I just need to set the path to the old content on my Firewire drive in the prefs of Motion and DVD Studio Pro, and in the Browser of Soundtrack Pro?
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks
Dave

I've never tried that Dave but it seems like you've got the measure of it.

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.

Install jam pack on external drive

Hi all
I'm a Logic 8 user, and need to install the jam packs onto an external drive, as my powerbook hard drive is almost full.
I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it, because, when I put the jam pack contents disk in my drive to install, a dialog box tells me to install the jam packs from the Logic install disk.
In spite of the fact that the read me file says that I can "freely install" the larger audio files anywhere, the Logic Install disk won't let me do this. It does not give the the option to change disks, even though I have deselected all the install options, except for Jam Pack. It actually seems that the steps you need to take to run the installer are backwards. You have to choose the disk on which to install Logic, and then choose what elements of Logic to install, so I can never choose the external hard drive!
Does anyone know why this might be. or can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Angus Armstrong

Seriously? They really make you install everything on the internal and then move it over? Why would this be the case? Doesn't that get a little messy with re-indexing everything. I installed the basic install disc info a while ago, and have been holding off on the jam packs until I get the external, just to avoid a little wear and tear on my internal drive. I guess I might as well install them now? And move them over later?

Trying to install old Jam Packs on MacBook Air/Lion.

When I try to install my old Jam Pack, World Music, on MacBook Air, it fails at the last minute, giving infinite errors due to PListBuddy not being supported, necessitating a restart. Symphony and Orchestra worked fine. Anyone esle had the same problem or any luck fixing it? Thanks.

So Jam Pack is a bit peculiar. What you'll want to do is:
1. Have the CD in the drive, and the file Install Jam Pack World Music in view.
2. Right-click (control click) on the file, and select Show Package Contents.
3. Open up the Contents folder.
4. Open up the Installers folder.
5. Find WorldMusic_Instruments_Tiger.pkg, and run the installation. You will get a few PListBuddy errors, but these can be closed, and the installation will finish.
6. Find WorldMusic_Loops_Tiger.pkg, and do the same as step 5.
You should be good!
Other info:
Some errors I noticed: It said that the installer was "waiting for other installations to complete". Just open Terminal (Applications -> Utilities), and type: sudo killall installd
Try installing again.

Installing jam packs from DVD on Lion

When I got my new iMac last year it came with Snow Leopard. At the time, I attempted to install all my jam packs (I have all of them) and it gave me an error that Rosetta was not installed. After installing it, I was able to install my jam packs, which i use with GarageBand and Logic Express.
I hear that Lion no longer supports Rosetta. Anyone know how to install the jam packs? Can I copy the jam pack folder to an external drive and then copy them back? Seems like the installation is a "package", which may not work if I don't run it from the install DVDs.
Thanks

If you install Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion on top of your Snow Leopard, then the Jam Packs will will continue to work. If you make a clean install of Lion, then you will have a problem with the installers, for Lion does not support Rosetta. Then the best you can do will be to restore the library folders containing the Apple Loops and the Instruments Library from your (Time Machine) Backup.
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops
   /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops
   /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library
For a clean install you might consider to invest into purchasing MainStage 2 - it is much cheaper than any of the Jam Packs ever has been, but will install all the JamPacks to be used with GarageBand and Logic.

Forgot to load jam packs and now it wont let me

i realized that i messed up during the finishing up process. i tried to go back and install just the jam packs and it would not let me do it. i also tried to just load directly from dvd to my external harddrive and each one says to use the install disks. i then tried to trash all files,at least what i thought were the right files, but it still acted like there was logic 8 on there. i then put everything back and all is working fine except that i do not have all 39GB's of sound that comes with it. 15yr. user and a rookie mistake
thanks in advance for any help.

LE 8 doesn't see all of my installed Jam Packs

Just setting up a new mac. I installed all the Jam Packs. After that I brought up Garageband and when I click on "Loops" it show the following list. I did notice that when Garage Band came up, it indicated that it was searching for Jam Packs...
Garage Band
iLife Sound Effects
Jam Pack Remix Tools
Jam Pack Rhythm Section
Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra
Jam Pack Voices
Jam Pack World Music
I then installed Logic Express 8. I launched it and when I click on "Loops", I'm missing 2 of the Jam Packs. I only see:
Garage Band
iLife Sound Effects
Jam Pack Remix Tools
Jam Pack Voices
Jam Pack World Music
Can I drag the missing Jam Packs on to Logic? I don't want to make copies, just want them to be seen there.
Please advise.
Thanks

One more observation. I tried dragging just one file over from the Orchestra folder (Academy Cello 01). I then searched for it and found it. I then searched for "Academy Viola 01", but it didn't find it. I ended up dragging over the set of 5 Academy sounds and now if I search for just "Academy" to all show up in the search results. The only bad thing is I don't actually see the "Symphony Orchestra" pack in the list. I guess I can live with that, but it would be nice to see them all there, just so I know which ones I have. Dumb, I know...
If you know of any other way, please let me know.
Thanks again for your help!

Trial versions: How to install notes and/or support packs

Is it possible to install notes and support packs in a trial system?
Can a connection with SAPOSS be made?

The software you downloaded is for Mac OS X; to get the Mac OS 9 version of the software, download the file for your language from the following pages (iPod, iTunes). The Mac OS 9 iPod software only works for first and second generation iPods, and requires 9.21 to run. Mac OS 9's iTunes will only sync first and second generation iPods, as well as third generation iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware.

Jam Pack Help

My computer finally died on me so I decided to get a new imac today. Bad news is that I am about ready to throw it through a window because even though I had the Jam Packs backed up on an external hard drive, I am having several issues. I can see that I have the .aif files now onto my new computer from a couple of the jam packs, and I've even moved those files over to the apple loops folder where all the rest of the pre loaded loops are, yet they do not show up as usable in Garageband, nor do I see any of the virtual instruments. I'm also getting the issue I've seen others have where some of the jam packs are not compatible w/ Lion. I saw there is a work around, but the problem is that I do not have the original discs and only have the files from my external hard drive and am getting the "you can't open the application packagebuddy because power pc applications are no longer supported" message. So this is causing me a lot of **** because I've transfered over some .band files from my hard drive, but without the same loops and software instruments I used before, my projects are a mess. Any ideas? I also saw something about an app called Main Stage that supposedly has all the Jam Pack content. Is this true?

Any ideas? I also saw something about an app called Main Stage that supposedly has all the Jam Pack content. Is this true?
That is true. If you buy MainStage 2, it will install all of the JamPacks, and you will be able to use the loops and instruments from Logic and GarageBand. An the price of MainStage is much less than the price for one single of the JamPack - in Europe 23,99 €, that is roughly 30 $US.
To buy MainStage would be the easiest solution.
To restore the older JamPacks from your backup, you need to
install the loops in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand/
and the instruments in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
Also you need to reindex your Loops, see: Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand
