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.
Great advice, as the Jam Packs appear to be discontinued so will not likely be upgraded beyond this recurring problem.
Just wanted to let you know that you solved my problem as well. Thank you for the advice!
A buig ditto on the advice given. Just performed the task with 0 problems!
Thx!
work for my lion. Thanks!
I followed your excellent wizard! But in the Terminal i needed to write sudo killall -9 installd instead of sudo killall installd
I hope this will be useful for others.
Thank you for helping!
THANK YOU JOSHGRANT for that priceless intel "'scuse th' pun"about installing the jam pack World!!! When I looked at the Installation Log, I noticed the Tiger. package wording and wondered 'What has Tiger to do with this installation??' So, while lurking this forum, I became enlightened on the fact that this was formatted for Mac Power PCs, not Intel Macs!!!! That's why I could not finish the installation on my iMac
Just when I thought it was a memory thing and I was about to have a "white elephant" on my hands..........You Saved Th' Day 😁 Now, I can commence to making joyous music.....with gusto!!
You are appreciated!!!
