Ookkayy...
So I just installed iLife '11 and had no issues with that.
When I launched GarageBand after install, it briefly (during the initializing progress bar) said "Scanning for Jam Packs."
Upon starting a new project, I realized that not only are my Jam Packs nowhere to be found, the loops no longer appear in the loop library and I can't find the software instruments and effects that came with them!
FYI I had all the Jam Packs. I also had a bunch of custom effects I'd made.
Not sure how I feel about the new layout either, but I can get used to a little more space between tracks. I DO like that the loop browser and clipper can be viewed simultaneously. It'll take some getting used to, is all.
I thought that since Apple branded iLife '11 as an "important update" that it might just be, you know, an update - a glorified 5GB patch to a software suite...but it appears to have overwritten about 25GB of files!
Should note that it did NOT erase my saved projects and didn't touch my AU components.
I could dig up the Jam Pack disks (or disk images, forget what I did with 'em exactly) but they're at home and I'm not.
Anyone else have similar issues or can offer a resolution...? I'm aware it's not a huge problem, but certainly an annoyance and given what I've heard about other iLife '11 software (namely iPhoto)...
