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.

How do I install jam pack on os x lion

I've recently up graded to OSX Lion and found that when i have opened Garageband all the instruments and loops are missing from Jam Pack Remix tools so most of the tunes saved won't play. I've contacted Apple Software support (at great cost) they tell me its because the jam pack are power pc they won't work.
Surely Apple haven't upgraded the OS so you lose everything you've done on garageband? Has anyone got a solution to resolve this? Thanks.

The problem is, that the installers of the Jam Packs are power pc programs, that will not run on Lion.
The Instruments and loops however still work with Lion.
If you have a TimeMachine backup of your system from the time before the migration, you could try to restore the loops library from your TimeMachine backup, you will need to reinstall all folders and subfolders from
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
An other approach would be to rip the PowerPC installation disk: If you open the package (ctls click-> Show Package contents) you will see installers for the loop libraries and folders with loops and instruments. An example how to rip those packages is in this thread:

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.

Installed Jam Pack but see no new loops in Garageband loop browser. Why not?

I successfully installed Jam Pack but don't see new loops in Garageband loop browser. Is there some extra step I'm supposed to do? Before, I had about 57 Rock/Blues loops, and I still have just that. I had 14 instruments under All Drums, and guess what? Still only 14.
I know the install completed successfully - it said so, anyway.
Clues?

Have you filters set on the Loop Browser? Make sure the GarageBand Preference "Loops > Keyword Browsing > Filter for more relevant content" is off. Otherwise you will see a fraction of the available loops.
To see, if the JamPack has been installed, set the pop-up meu at the top of the Loop Browser to "Rhythm Section". Is that available?
Did you reindex your Loops after installing the Jam Pack? And did you restart the Mac? In Mt. Lion only restarting a Mac will ensure, that an application is not resumed from a cache, when you launch it again.Restarting the Mac will terminate GarageBand for sure.
If restarting the Mac does not make the JamPack Loops show, rebuild the Loop index. See: Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand 6 or earlier - Apple Support

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?

How can I install Jam Packs on a new Mac Mini?

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!

Trouble installing Jam Pack #1 (the original)?

Also posted in Logic but it also makes sense to post here unless there are rules against cross-posting.
Recently doing a migration from a PPC to a Mac Pro.
Anyway, I was trying to reinstall Jam Pack 1 (the original Jam Pack) to use with Logic Pro. I was also planning on using it in Garageband.
When I tried to install, I kept getting the error "Installation cannot continue until the GarageBand application is installed." But it was installed.
Did a bit of digging. Found this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1989594&#1989594
Which led me to examine my directory structure in the Applications Folder. Turns out I had moved Garageband into a subfolder and the installer wasn't able to find it. I just moved it back to its normal spot and the installer was happy.
I hope this helps someone else.

also applies to the 1.01 update found here:

Restoring Logic 9 Jam Packs from Time Machine

Hi There,
I have recently done a clean install of Mac OSX 10.7.5 after upgrading from 10.6.8 made my 2009 macbook pro disasterously slow.
Before doing the clean install I did a Time Machine Backup.
I have now installed Logic 9 onto my Mac only to discover I no longer have the additional Jam Pack / Audio Content discs.
I have located the content in my time machine backup in /Library/Audio/
But when attempting to do the restore I get the error msg "can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X."
Can anyone advise how I can recover the additional logic content from my time machine backup?
Thanks,

When you install the additional content in LPX.. any content that already exists in LP9 is merged with your LPX content so all you end up with is extra content and not duplicate content....

Error when installing jam pack/audio content on new imac

Keep trying to install the audio/jam pack cd´s that came with my Logic Studio bundle on my new Imac/Leopard. When i´m almost done installing, it asks for the "logic" cd and then after a while i´m getting an error "installation failed"- disk corrupted" or something? I cannot as it works now find (almost) any of the audio files that i´m using (brass/horn sounds etc..). Anyone who´s had the same experience?
Thanks!

Also seeing this problem. I'm updating to latest logic and 10.5.3 right now to see if it mitigates it.

PRE 9- installed extra content from DVD, but still getting prompt?

I just installed Premiere Elements 9 from DVD.
I also installed the second DVD of extra content.
When I start up the PRE 9 program, I get a prompt warning me to "Install Full Content- a reduced set of content... has been installed. You can install the full content by inserting your content DVD or downloading it."
Even though I had already installed the second DVD of content (which was a LOT of content!), I put in the DVD again. This time, the installer wanted to REMOVE the content, so I took the disc out before going any further.
I am not sure if the additional content was successfully installed or not. If so, how do I get rid of that popup prompt?
When I have a project open in PRE9 and open the Disc Menus tab, there is a dropdown box of menus by filter, including Entertainment, General, Happy Birthday, etc.
If I click on Entertainment, for example, I have a choice of Art in Motion, Music video, Performance Star, Broadway, Popcorn, or Stage. There is a Main Menu and Scene Menu for each of them. Happy Birthday has Balloons, Birthday Party and Kids Party. Etc.
Do I have the additional content properly installed, or is there supposed to be more than this? If there is, how do I get the PRE 9 program to recognize what I already installed from that second disc?
My system:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
16.0 GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor 3.20 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series graphics card
Thanks for all of your help.

Keystation 49e toasted after installing Jam Pack

I have an M-audio Keystation 49e that I have used mostly for music composition using my iBook and a nice shareware program, Melody Assistant. Lately my son has been using the keyboard a lot for composition on an iMac using GargageBand. He has been desperate for a JamPack to get better souunds, so I got him the Orchestral JamPack for his Birthday yesterday. The sounds are indeed excellent. However, a little while (~30 min) after installing the JamPack, the keyboard stopped working, first intermittently, like when changing an instrument, then completely. No sound, no indicator lights, nothing getting recorded. Thinking it was a driver problem, I installed the latest M-audio driver I could find (3.1) but no dice. Hoping to debug the issue, I plugged the keyboard into my iBook and now it doesn't work there either! When I try to use Melody Assistant, a weird error message comes up saying "An OS X midi driver has been recognized but gives do information about output destination." I tried our other iMac (without the new JamPack installed), and it doesn't work there either. Looking at the USB section under "About this Mac", the keyboard is being recognized correctly, but it does not seem to be able to send notes to any program on any of our macs. It seems like installing the JamPack has somehow broken the keyboard, but I have no idea how this could be or what to do about it. Any suggestions appreciated!
Intel imac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The M-Audio driver is irrelevant: it is used to recognize extra controls on the more advanced keyboards. The 49e does not require a driver.
Since the keyboard doesn't work on another computer either it seems unlikely that the Jam Pack has got anything to do with it. I would suspect a hardware fault in the keyboard or the lead. Try replacing the USB lead first, then if that doesn't help you may need to see if you can get a repair.

Can I use the loops/jam packs from MainStage in GarageBand?

Hi,
Apologies if this is a totally stupid question (I am a Mac newbie).
I have GarageBand, and have been told that the Jam Packs for it are as part of MainStage. My question is can I use the loops provided in MainStage in GarageBand to make tracks, or do I have to fork out for Logic as well? Also, if I can use them, is it easy to transfer the loops to GarageBand?
Thanks
Andy

The jampacks that are downloaded for MainStage can indeed be used in GarageBand without having to buy Logic. You shouldn't need to transfer anything... they are installed in a spot where MainStage and GB can both see them.

Unable to install Windows 7 from DVD drive

I’m attempting to perform a fresh install of Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion laptop, which has both a brand new HD (500 GB) & DVD drives. Plus it has 4 GB RAM, & a 64 Bit processor.
I set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, but the software will not boot, nor does it show the instructions to “push any key to boot from DVD/CD” the disk just keeps on spinning, and then stops. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx Notebook and issues with a new HDD and reinstalling Windows 7. Here is a link to troubleshoot install of new HDD. Is it being seen in the BIOS? The discs that you have are they back up disks or System Recovery discs? The repair would have been better with only replacing 1 thing at a time. Starting with the HDD. I would remove the new Ram and CD player. Try to get the Windows 7 installed.
Go to the BIOS screen by restarting system,keep tapping the F2 key. BIOS screen appears, click on Boot devices and choose DVD/CD.
I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Installing a program from DVD

Autorun.ini takes Numbers to open???? Why, how can I change this to install a program from a DVD??

Hi both,
thanks for the reaction. I intend to install the software from Devolo dLAN connector which works over the power cable lines.
On the installation CD it is a autorun.exe file which should run automaticly. It doesnt.
If I double click on it, it tries to open with "Numbers". And of course this is a wrong linked program to run.
Right mouse button, choose program to open shows me other programs wich I could link to open. Which one shall I choose to run a .exe file?
Sorry for this, I am a PC user since 20 years. The MAC world is different and new for me. How can I make a print screen with the Mac to show you what I mean?
Thanks for your help.
