B4II can't find tonewheel files

I wish to use my B4II with Garageband and after loading and
unloading keep getting
"B4II: still no tonewheels files found!
please install the B4 again."
I've done this again and again ad nausium.
The B4 folder contains the tonewheels as well as the rest of the program.
I've registered and updated (second computer) but am really
in a quandry as to why it can't find the tonewheels.
What am I doing wrong?

Have you run B4 II in standalone and rebooted afterwards? Do so and rescan your plugins after that.

"Have you run B4 II in standalone and rebooted afterwards? Do so and rescan your plugins after that."

"ew"
Thanks for your quick response!
I loaded the program again and the only options the installer gives are "easy" and "custom".
I opt for "easy" and it loads and "finishes" but when I try to open with the B4 icon the same message pops up
"B4II: still no tonewheels files found!
please install the B4 again."
I can't get to audio settings by way of the icon to set the program to "stand alone" because when the message comes up I click "ok" and the icon disappears leaving me back to square one.
I appreciate your patience!

(not sure how to rescan my plugins, kinda new to music software and it's terminology)

 

I am having the same problem on a new Mac Pro quad 2.8. I get the "still no tonewheels" message both in standalone mode and in Digital Performer (it also crashes DP, so now I can't open any projects that use B4).

 

Brian! This has to be a bug of somekind.
I'm still using Tiger ox10.4.11. and I had it working fine until I tried the manual reccommendations to use B4 in G/band.
since then I can't even use it "standalone"!
I'd like to figure this out but I don't know where else to go other than this forum.

Someone pointed me to this language from the OSX optimization page:

I did indeed change my HD name from the default "Macintosh HD" after I had installed B4 II, but before I tried to use it. So I'm thinking this might be the issue.

If so, can I fix the problem by doing a clean uninstall/reinstall of B4 II?

I find this restriction hard to understand, BTW. I've been working with Macs for 15 years and this is the first time I've ever encountered an application that has trouble with user-created volume names. Doesn't the OS use an "under-the-hood" volume identifier of some kind that doesn't change when the user-created name is altered? And shouldn't the app be referring to that, and not the user-created name?

 

Brian! You're probably right, I did change the name of my primary disc but I can't for the life of me remember the default name of it. I've looked for the name everywhere I could think but being sorta new to mac's I probably just don't know where to look
I have a secondary disc named "secondary" and use it for a cloning volume, but I don't think that volume would affect the main.
What do you think?

Sorry for the double reply but I got in a hurry.

 

The default name of a system drive is always "Macintosh HD."

 

Brian!
Thanks!
I dumped the whole program, changed the name of the drive back, reloaded the program and still get the same responce.
Let me know if you solve this, as apparently the powers that be don't know how or won't.
