I have used the beta versions for a wile and I have bought and downloaded several live packs. Now when I installed live 9.1 I have problems to inport all my packs. Im using the same folder. Some packs showing up but are empty. Most packs that are in the folder are not there.
Do I have to reinstall all packs?
I use macbook pro retina late 2013 with mavericks.
Cheers

Re: Problem with my old packs from beta version.
i had a similar issue. either an earlier version of Live 9 – or just betas in general – have a different default location for the Factory Packs folder.
it used to be in at: [User]/Library/Application Support/Ableton/Factory Packs
but is now at: [User]/Music/Ableton/Factory Packs
try finding the Application Support folder and see if you have a Factory Packs folder in there.
if so, move the packs to the new Factory Packs location: [User]/Music/Ableton/Factory Packs
and relaunch Live. all your packs should be available now. worked for me at least.

Hi.
They have the same folder as before. Problem is that it seems that some packs are not working. They are greyed out some how. I guess I have to reinstall all of them again.

Re: Problem with my old packs from beta version.
Are you seeing a rotating circle next to PLACES? If so, it means the Live indexer is still running, and you should wait until it stops.

No I don't se a circle my hard drive is very fast. And I use the same folder as before. It might have to do something with that I moved from PC to Mac. I just copied all packs from the old computer and put them into the packs folder.ark wrote:Are you seeing a rotating circle next to PLACES?

Strange that some of them are visible but can't be used.

You mean you didn't actually install the .alp files?Gringostar wrote:I just copied all packs from the old computer and put them into the packs folder.
