Still missing content after 9.1.6 "upgrade" and content re-installs

I updated to 9.1.6 and immediately I noticed that various .aif files were missing, from my ESX24 instruments and Garageband loops.

After reading other peoples' similar stories and solutions here, I spent some hours (and probably $$ for all the bandwidth) downloading and re-installing "Garageband content" (which showed needed updating) as well as the "Essential" and "Additional" Logic content packages (which were supposedly already installed).

After downloading about 7GB of stuff, I am still missing content, .aif files which are part of ESX24 instruments and Garageband loops.

I guess I'll continue downloading and re-installing the rest of the Jam Pack content -- about another 10GB -- and hope that I get that stuff back. No guarantees though, I suppose.

Apple, this happened to me once before, when I upgraded from Logic Studio 8 to 9. It's really, really maddening.

Eventually copied over old content from backup disk. Fingers crossed, I have all the bits and pieces again now...

You'll need to either manually copy over the old content, or download the media packs after you install the 9.0 version. In the Application menu, select "Download additional content...". However, do NOT click the "Select All Uninstalled" and instead download each part separately. A bit of added work, but selecting "Select all uninstalled"is giving people fits in that you end up with a lot of "Download Failed" messages and nothing installs.

HTH,
