GarageBand - missing loops

I just started a new song and looked for the drum track loops. They seem to have disappeared. They used to be there. All I see now are a few real instrument loops. Software loops are not displayed in the loop browser. I removed the loop filter as suggested by help and that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

there are very few loops in 2/4 time:

Garageband missing loops like Island long

Hi there.
Last year I took music in school. We used the schools macs on apps like garageband and Logic Pro.
I decided to buy myself a mac this year and, after installing the addon loops in garageband, I still only have 2000 loops.
I am unable to find the ones that are proper 'songs'/jingles like "island" and "Lowrider". How do I get these on my mac
Thanks in advance
Logan

Logan,
"island long" is a loop from the iLife Sound Effects. It is not a GarageBand Loop, but a loop that could be used with GarageBand, if the iLife 11 package has been installed. Do you own a copy of the iLife '11 DVD? Then try to reinstall the iLife '11 version of GarageBand. GarageBAnd 10 can use the loops. Or restore them from the last backup you made, before you upgraded to GarageBand 10.

added: I don't know about "Lowrider" loops. The only loop I have with this name, is "Low Rider Sub Bass" in the "Tech House" collection. What is the fact name of the loop that is missing?

No Vintage Funk Kit 03 on Garageband 10.0.3. Am I missing Loops?

I'm running Garageband 10.0.3 but I don't seem to have certain famous loops such as 'Vintage Funk Kit 03'. I have made all in app purchases and have 3337 loops. Has 'Vintage Funk Kit 03' just been deleted from new versions of Garageband or am I missing loops? I'm not massively bothered about not having 'Vintage Funk Kit 03', I just wanted to check that I'm not missing anything.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Okay guys and gals, I figured it out... I hope they'll let me post the pic. Basically, with the icon up on the corner pressed for controllers, you get a few new options. For some reason, they were grey'd out unless I had the keyboard open at the time... but once I did I could fiddle with it. Since the modulations for smart strings seem to be awfully specific, you wouldn't notice any difference with any fine changes, but I noticed it changed dramatically at about 50 and 70... 50 ended up being the pluck I was looking for.

Missing loops in the new GarageBand

Hi, I have installed the last version of GarageBand 10.0.1 (AppStore).
Where are the missing loops who was available with the previous version.
For example :
70s Ballad Piano 03.caf
70s Ballad Piano 04.caf
70s Ballad Piano 05.caf
Thanks for help !

Don't know if this is still an issue for you, but I had a similar problem after upgrading; some loops from an old song I did were gone. I did a custom upload of the loops from GarageBand '08 install disc, which replaced the missing loops in my AppleLoop file. It also somehow deleted GB 10. I reinstalled GB from the App Store. Most of the loops were then available. Some were dimmed. Some were still missing from the list, even though they appeared in the Apple Loops folder. So I did a reindex of the loops and all now seems -- for the present, anyway -- to be working properly.
Another possible path I discovered too late: go to the link here, download the missing loops, place them in your Apple Loops folder in your system library. Then reindex the loops.

These are aif files but should work okay. I think the caf files are the same thing, only compressed.

Software Update not finding missing loops

I've just updated my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) from iLife 09 to iLife 11.
In Garageband most of the loops are missing (greyed out). When I click on one I'm given the option of downloading later or now. When I choose 'now' it opens Software Update which searches for updates and tells me that all my software is up to date. If I click on a missing look again the message says that the software instrument or Apple Loop is currently being installed and that I should open Software Update for additional information.
How do I install all the missing loops if Software Update is telling me all my programs are up to date?

Hai there. i am having a trouble with the garage band apple loops to get into my macbook pro. . i had it some time back and i dont know where it has gone and how it get it back. is there anyone to help me to get the loops back into the browser . i will be grateful to you if some one can help me with it/ thanks.

First check, if you do not accidentally have hidden or filtered your loops:
Uncheck the "Filter for more relevant results" option in the Audio tab of the GarageBand Preferences.
And the drop down menu on top of the Loop Browser should be set to "Loops", not to some Jam Pack or other collection.
If you still don't see any loops, check if you have set your project to a special signature, like 9/8, for that no standard loops do exist.
Then check, if any loops actually are installed in your system Library: Depending on your GarageBand version you should find the standard loops in the Audio folder of your system Library (Application Support > GarageBand):
Your System Drive > Library > Audio > Apple Loops
If the Loops are installed, but GarageBand does not show them, you need to rebuild your Apple Loops Index: See the FAQ for how to do it:
Re-Index GarageBand's Loops
This requires two steps:
erase the old Apple Loops Index by deleting everything in
Your System Drive > Library > Audio > Apple Loops Index
and then rebuilding the Loops Index by dragging the folder containing all of your loops onto the Loop Browser in GarageBand.
If no Loops are installed in your Library, you will have to restore them from your Backup.

Is it legal to publish (for free or for a price) a song made using garageband autoplay loops?

Is it legal to publish (for free or for a price) a song made using garageband autoplay loops? I edited one of the loops a touch. Just don't want to get in any legal trouble.
Thanks

Yes yu can use the loops in your work and publish work using the loops. Only you cannot distribute the loops als stand-alone loops, see this Apple support article:
Using royalty-free loops in GarageBand with commercial work

GarageBand: missing software instruments & loops won't download

Hi,
Recently I've bought a 15' MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.3 installed on it(and I've updated it to version 10.8.4) and tried to download [missing software
instruments and loops] for GarageBand, but that update for the additional GarageBand contents couldn't be found on App Store's update page even after trying
several times. Does anybody have a solution or similar experience? Answers would be greatly appreciated!

I recently had the same problem when I upgraded to Garageband '11. There are many posts and answers about this issue on the forum, but the one that worked for me was also the simplest solution. When you get to the Updates window on the App Store and it says it doesn't find any updates, hit ⌘-R to reload. When I did that, the additional instruments and loops download appeared in the Updates window and I was able to download them.
If that doesn't work for you, search this forum. There are many more possible solutions. Good luck!

Missing loops on garageband

hi i have the most recent garageband on mountain lion. I noticed in the loops browser that im missing vocals, celesta, harp, harpsichord, and slideguitar and i was wondering if anyone else ran across this and why theyre missing. thank you!

Vocals, celesta, harp, harpsichord, and slideguitar all come with the JamPacks and are not part of the basic GarageBand '11.
Have you been using JamPacks before you upgraded? Then you will need to reinstall them again. Only some JamPack installers will not run on Mt. Lion, because they are PowerPC applications.
Do you have another Mac with the JamPacks installed, or a backup?
Regards
Léonie

GarageBand 3 loops missing

I may have deleted some of GarageBand. I have version 3.0.4 (104.7)
I can play all the instruments on the keyboard, so something is still there.
My "loops" area shows up, but it's dull gray and I'm prompted that they're missing.
Is there a download I can do, or will I have to dig out my Apple disks?
If I use the disks, will it prompt me to install only the GB loops?
Thanks very much.
Tony
San Francisco

I appreciate the help, but after inserting the original disk, nothing worked. I still don't have the loops, and in the process I seem to have lost iTunes. iT won't open, even after a "RESTORE".
I didn't see anything that gave me the option of custom install.
No need to reply - I'll call support on Monday when it's slower.
Thanks for trying. I'll close this.

DVD problem with missing loops, instruments

(trying to get a helpful subject there for those searching for answers)
the fact that the loops are greyed out and instruments missing in new garagebands is well known. so is the solution of installing from DVD. i cant seem to get that to work for my high school music class.
back story is that every student has a macbook (yes i know.. amazing). thing is, most students give their macs to the IT department to get their machines 'set up' and the IT department collects their DVDs. i borrowed a bunch of those DVDs from the IT department and inserted the DVD when asked but its just not working..
any ideas? do i need to get the EXACT DVDs that came with the machine? i doubt that.
also - why doesnt any of the download options work? does anyone from apple know thats broken?
lastly - what about instruments? i can get the students some loops by dragging loops of my machine into garageband (using target disk mode), but how do i get instruments? i dont drag them into the loop browser, so where might they get put? should i put them in /Application Support/?
as we're talking about 37 students (this semster - last semester we had an ugly fix) i thought i'd ask before i did something.
thanks a bunch..

Missing Loops Icon

The Eye icon for loops is missing from Garageband for me.
I've never used it, but I only have the Plus icon and the Scissor icon.
How do I get it to display?

do you have more than one page? if you don't know look right above the dock and if you see dots you have more than one page. if you do maybe you moved it to another page if you don't have more than one page i recommend a restore.

"There are no Loops Installed on your System." Missing Loops?

Hi everyone. I just purchased my very first Mac today and so far the experience has been great with the exception of two things. One of the things being that I don't seem to have loops on my Mac for GarageBand. When I open the Loop Browser, it simply says "There are no loops installed on your system," and gives me an empty loop browser. Did I miss something? Was I supposed to install the loops off of a disc or something? I would've assumed that the loops would've already been on my Mac, but please inform me if this is not true. Also, I still have all the discs that I got with my Mac since I just got it earlier today, so if anyone knows what discs the loops are on or any other way to get GarageBand Loops, please let me know. I'd appreciate your help very much. Thanks.

Good.
Do a search for this folder: "Apple Loops Index".
There will likely be more than one, although only one folder probably has all your Indexed Loops.
So, when you find the one with the "Search Index..." files, delete them.
Then, open a project in GarageBand, open the Loops Browser, and drag that Loops folder onto the Loops Browser.
Wait for it to index them, and you should be good to go.
Good luck,

How to reinstall only the missing loops?

When installing Logic, I accidentally interrupted(cancelled) one of the installers. (Audio Content 2).
When I tried to reinstall logic, after inserting disc1, it asked me for Audio content 3.
As a result, I do not know whether the loops installed properly. For some of the loops, it looks like I am missing some in the series, but I don't know for sure. I suspect I am missing some since I have "Acoustic picking 03",06 and 7, but no 1,4, and 5.
What is the best way to ensure that all the loops & audio content are properly installed (for my situation)?
What should I do to verify this?

Short answer: reinstall all the loops. Insert the first install disc from the Studio bundle and choose to install only the audio content. I don't have the discs here with me, so I can't try it out to explain the process much more than that, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to start the process with that first install disc.
