I have downloaded BIAB and installed the main app but cannot install any of the other parts of BAIB.
When I double click on the dmg files it does not complete the initial verification. I have deleted and downloaded the files and rebooted my mac, same result. The verification seems to be stuck at the same place every time I double click and for all the files I am trying to install (audio_midi_plugins and realtracks).
Any ideas anyone? I have logged this with support but no response as yet.
George.

Hi George and welcome to the forum!
Are you trying to install the Pro PAK, Mega PAK, Ultra PAK or Audiophile? What version of Windows or Mac OS does your computer use? Are you trying to istall downloaded files, from DVDs, USB memory stick or from a USB external hard drive?
What error message are you seeing?

It sounds like the Mac's Gatekeeper feature is blocking the installations. This is fairly common when installing from downloads.
Gatekeeper options are found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab under the header "Allow applications downloaded from:"
Setting this to "Anywhere", then restarting the Mac should do the trick. If not, please let us know which OS you're using, and we'll figure it out.
Thanks

Hi George,
What do you have selected under "Allow applications downloaded from:" in your Security & Privacy settings?
Thanks

Hi I'm running MAS OS High Sierra (10.13.6) and I don't have an option allow from anywhere in the General tab - only App Store or App store and identified developers.
I don't think the install is getting that far, it seems to be failing to mount the dmg file and just dropping out with no error messages.
I've had the gatekeeper kick in before and it gives me the option to enable that installation via the tab you are referring to and I can then go ahead and allow that software to be installed.
This is different, I'm not getting as far as the pkg file contained in the dmg file.
Thanks
George.

Any updates on this? Getting to think I'm going for the refund.....
I also submitted a support request on Monday and have had zero response.
My first venture into BIAB and less than impressed so far
George.

Hi I'm running MAS OS High Sierra (10.13.6) and I don't have an option allow from anywhere in the General tab - only App Store or App store and identified developers. This one is a bit tricky — it's different in High Sierra. I didn't get the usual errors either but, knowing the issue, I was able to get it installed. Here's one way to do it: Disable Gatekeeper from the Command Line in OS XLaunch Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/) and issue the following command to turn off Gatekeeper (best to copy and paste the commands): sudo spctl --master-disableHit Return and enter your admin password as is required by sudo. Gatekeeper will instantly be disabled. You can verify this by opening System Preferences/Security & privacy/General This will be temporary and resets to default after 30 days or a reboot. If you want to close the door manually, use the following command: sudo spctl --master-enableDepending on the OS, sudo asks for your Admin password every 5 or 15 minutes.

Hi Mike,
Made changes as you suggested and got the "Anywhere" setting in Security & Privacy, but.......
Still no joy in the installation.
I think thats about as much pissin about with this as I'm prepared to take, so its money back time for me.
I have installed a lot of apps on MAC over the years and this is the first time I have had any issues. Whats really weird is that bandinabox_2018_pro installed no problem.
Anyways, thanks for you help,
Now, how do I et my money back.....
George.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
