I'm looking to hire someone to coach me by phone on topics such as:
+ Installation. Why am I getting odd error messages that appear briefly then disappear? I've re-installed twice.
+ Real Tracks. Why do I get messages that it can't find the real tracks specified in the style?
+ Getting all the styles and real tracks. I wanted to have them all, but I must have purchased the wrong package or done the install wrong
+ Using the Style Picker. The tutorials I've found all show a very different interface.
+ Finding and downloading songs created by others
+ Deciding whether to upgrade to 2018 version and which package
If needed, we can use screen sharing software to let you see what I am seeing and/or remote control software to let you mouse around.
I thought perhaps we could set up weekly or twice weekly calls for 30-60 minutes and gradually work our way through these issues and others that may arrive.
Thanks,
Ron Berst

RonBerst, Welcome to the forum and to Band-in-a-Box, sometimes abbreviated to BiaB! My computer uses Windows so I'm unable to answer Mac specific questions. However, I believe I can help provide some assistance. You mention you want ALL the styles and RealTracks. To have all of them you must purchase either the 2018 BiaB for Mac UltraPAK or Audiophile package, the four Xtra style packs and bonus material. Neither the BiaB Pro and Mega PAKs include all the package styles and RealTracks but instead have bundled collections. A really good place to find BiaB song files is the +++ Yahoo Band-in-a-Box Group +++ . The group has two additional groups to archive song files. Band-in-a-Box also accepts midi files. +++ Yahoo's MIDKAR Group +++ has a bunch of midi files.

Ron Berst Although I am happy to accommodate you, I agree with W. Before you go that route and $$$$ expense why not post your questions at this forum or the other topic specific forums hosted by PGmusic. And the many Band-in-a-Box gurus will be there to help guide you. Let's start with the simple stuff. Installation is not intuitive but the latest videos help a lot—if you know which one(s) to watch. The answers to the questions will depend as the answers can affect each other. 1. What version of BIAB did you purchase? 2. Is it download only or did you get it on media (and what kind)? 3. Where do you want to install it — the Default location, run it off of the media you received or another drive? (the Default depends on how you received it).

In the mean time, with the weekend happening, watch the various installation videos.
There are things to do after you install and the videos go through them. If you don't, there will be messages — not so much error as statements of fact that you need to do a couple more things so that the Style Picker works properly and BIAB can find the various components. Again, covered in the installation videos.
