iLife ’11 Loops

[scifiman]

All,

I followed the hint already about putting iLife ’11 in the exact order in the InstaDMG build chain. That worked for me. However, the problem I have now is that the loops are not recognized. The solutions floating around for iLife ’08 and ’09 do not seem to apply to ’11.
Any ideas on how I can essentially re-register the loops?

Thanks

Surely someone has seen this in there labs!

Hey scifiman,

Sorry, haven’t used this. Have you tried repackaging?

I can’t get through the spam wall, so I can’t give you the link to the page I created on this topic in June of 2009. Search for: reindex iLife loops, and you will get some results.

Will someone please put an end to the spam filter? It is preventing actual conversation. There is no excuse for the number of false positives it throws.

I have not read the iLife ’11 guide you speak of, but I presume it includes installing the loops which are no longer included on the iLife ’11 media.

I built a package to re-index all of the loops using the below script and the ALPIndex.app which I presumably picked out from iLife ’11 or Logic Studio 2.0 somewhere.
[code]#!/bin/sh

ALPINDEX=/private/tmp/ALPIndex.app/Contents/MacOS/ALPIndex
CHROOT=/usr/sbin/chroot
FIND=/usr/bin/find

APPLE_LOOPS_DIRECTORY=”/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple”

$CHROOT “$DSTVOLUME” $FIND “$APPLE_LOOPS_DIRECTORY” -depth 1 -type d | while read directory
do
$CHROOT “$DSTVOLUME” $ALPINDEX “$directory”
done
[/code]

It seems to do the trick for me. 🙂
