missing JamPacks

I'm new to GarageBand, with version 10.3.5. My Legacy instruments only have 2 sub-categories: Logic and Garageband, each with bunch of instruments. I can't find JamPacks anywhere and have downloaded everything in the Sound Library. Anybody know how to get the JamPacks?

The JamPacks are no longer sold separately. They have sold on installer DVDs, that partly included PowerPC code in the installer, that will not run on the newer system versions.

I purchased MainStage 3 to get the JamPacks installed. GarageBand can access them, when MainStage installs them.

If you have MainStage 3, go to the main Menu Bar: MainStage 3 >Sound Library > Open Sound Library Manager, then download all GarageBand and Jam Pack Songs from the Legacy and Compatibility section, that you want to use with GarageBand or Logic.
