Q: Logic Pro 9/Garage Band - Only two Jam Packs will install!

Hi,

I have a problem I have been trying to fix for ages but cannot seem to get it working.

I installed Logic Studio. Only two Jam Packs show up - Voices and World. When I open Garageband it shows me that the other Jam Pack folders do exist - but they are all empty!

Reinstalling does not work. I have tried to install ONLY the Jam Packs ... no luck.

I have even reinstalled the operating system - no difference.

Any ideas????

At this point I am desperate!

    Desperate? I wouldn't have thought anyone would be "desperate" to get jam packs installed!

    If you are having problems, I recommend you use Pacifist to extract the Jam Pack instruments and loops you want.

    I have also just tried to install the Jam Packs without installing Logic. Again Garageband showed that only the World and Voice folders have contents.

    Drag the folders where they are on disk into your loop browser, and Logic will add them.

    is the problem the loop content, or the instrument content?

    Are the files on disk, but not showing up in Logic? Or are the files not being installed at all?

    The Loops seem fine, but the Instruments that are missing.

    Missing from your drive, or on the drive but missing from Logic?

    Well, it shows the folders as being empty inside Garageband, but I don't know where exactly they should be stored on the computer. How can I check?

    The GB instrument library, where the GB and JamPack instrument content is put, is in:-

    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/

    Sampler instruments are:
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Instruments/

    and their samples are in:
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/

    Those folders do have files, but its hard to tell if they are the missing jam packs. None of the folders have Jam Pack as part of their name so they may just be the ones that garageband can find. Anyone know a folder that belongs to one of the Jam Packs other than Garageband, Voices Jam Pack or World Jam Pack?

    They are organised by instrument, not by Jam Pack.

    Logic Studio also has a ton of sampler instruments in addition which are stored:
    /Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments/

    These are referred to as "Garageband Pro Instruments".

    Bear with me, I'm pulling out a full content listing (sampler instruments only, not sample files or loops) from the installer and will post it bit by bit - this way you can compare what you have with what the installer should have written.

    I'm just posting a full content listing so you can check and few files from known Jam Packs - then you can be confident whether these files are on your system in the places they should be - then you know whether or not your Jam Pack instruments are on your disk.

    Jam Pack 1 is one of the packs that doesn't show up in garageband. But all the files you've listed for that Jam Pack are actually there. I'm not missing them. So why aren't they showing up in garageband?
