Additional instruments won't download

I have Lion (10.7.3) and the latest Garage Band (6.0.5). I've had Garage Band installed for a long time.
I went to try it out today, and would like to install the software instruments that (apparently) aren't included on the DVD anymore. When I click on an instrument that isn't installed, it asks if I want to download them via Software Update. I select "download now" and click OK. Software Update opens and, after a very long time, tells me my software is up-to-date.
I've tried resetting ignored updates (I don't have any). I've tried reinstalling Garage Band from the iLife '11 DVD. Nothing seems to change. I still can't download the additional instruments via Software Update.
I also can't find any download reasource on Apple's Support site where I can download them manually. Most software updates can be downloaded as seperate installer, but this doesn't seem to be the case for the additional Garage Band instruments.
Can any one help?

I was able to fix it. Here's what I eventually did:
Deleted everything that even remotely looked like it belonged to Garage Band: the application, the application support folder, the Garage Band loops in the Library/Audio folder, the software update receipts (both in Library/Reciepts and in /var/db/receipts).
Restarted the computer.
Reinstalled Garage Band from the iLife '11 DVD.
Upgraded to the latest Garage Band using Software Update.
Open the loops and click to download the additional instruments.
This time, Software update had a "Additional Instruments" upgrade available, and everything seems to have gotten installed.
One warning: Reinstalling Garage Band from the DVD trashed my installation of iPhoto (even though I unchecked iPhoto in the install options). I had to repeat this process with iPhoto (toss the app, reinstall from iLife DVD, upgrade iPhoto in Software Update) before it would work again.

Loops and certain instruments won't download properly

The loops won't don't download as well as certain instruments. Any help?

This is the WMP plugin: np-mswmp , so you have it.
You may be missing a codec to play that content or some extension or security software is blocking that content.

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!

I've tried to download an app that I used to have but deleted. I get the message "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional charge." BUT it won't download.

Are you certain you have enough memory left on your device to accommodate the app? Also, are you certain that an iOS 8-compatible version has been released by the developer? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then try downloading it via an iTunes sync.

My songs from iTunes won't download, I went to the downloads tap and all seven of my new songs say "download error, tap to retry" and when I tap on one a message pops up saying " this song could not be downloaded at this time". What do I do?

My songs from iTunes won't download. I recently just purchased 7 songs and they took my money but now the songs won't download to my phone. I have gone to the download screen on the iTunes app and under each song it says "download error. Tap to retry". When I tap to retry a song a message pops up saying "this song could not be downloaded at this time." And it gives me two options. Either done or retry. I have tried to download them many times. I signed out and signed back in on iTunes, restarted my phone, and even checked for any updates. Nothing seems to be working. They charged the money from my card but now my songs won't download. What do I do?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

TS5325 Additional Instruments disappeared after update

I did the update for GarageBand for iOS, but when I try to restore my purchase it tells me there is no purcahse to restore, but prior to the update I had purchased the additional instruments and used them...

I was able to fix it. Here's what I eventually did:
Deleted everything that even remotely looked like it belonged to Garage Band: the application, the application support folder, the Garage Band loops in the Library/Audio folder, the software update receipts (both in Library/Reciepts and in /var/db/receipts).

Reinstalled Garage Band from the iLife '11 DVD.
Upgraded to the latest Garage Band using Software Update.

When I download a video from verizon cloud the sound won't download. Why is that?

We'll help figure this out, taney! What type of device are you downloading to? Have you tried downloading to a different device? Have you ever been able to download before and gotten the sound? Please provide some additional details, and we will work to resolve this matter.
Thanks,

Latest PS6 update won't download

Latest (13.0.2) PS update, for Creative Cloud only, will not completely download, much less install. All other Cloud programs (e.g., Illustrator) download and update without a problem. I've been on the phone or chat with Adobe techs for at least 15 hours, without any improvement or change in the situation. I have an open case on this issue but do not get any contact from Adobe unless I initiate it--which is a major time suck, of course.
Am running Windows 7. Have tried download wired and wireless. Have de- and re-installed PS at least 4-5 times. This installs original version 13.0. I had been running version 13.0.1 and can update to it, but that no longer runs properly. Have removed ALL Adobe software and files and re-installed. Have updated video driver. Have "updated" App Mgr several additional times.
Can't think what else to try, and am not looking forward to another fruitless 4-hour phone call to Adobe help.
I'd obviously appreciate any ideas. Thanks.
Gail

Sorry to be so short--was in car with only phone. Thanks for the thought.
I spent hours and hours with a senior tech at Adobe. He cleaned out
everything once, and worked only on PS several times. He did several of
the downloads at his end. No one seems to know what the problem is, and it
is a problem only for Photoshop/Cloud update. The program itself seems ok,
but the first update doesn't work right (e.g., can't open original of
photos from LR4.3 into PS or copies with LR adjustments). The second, most
recent, update won't download past 99%. "Tis a mystery.

A quick search seems to infer that the rescue email field is optional, so try it without entering anything.
Otherwise:
if you have a Gmail email you can add or remove the full stops in it, so for example
[email protected] is the same as [email protected] as well as [email protected]
this would give you a second email for this setup.
Apple is basically asking you for a backup email account incase anything goes wrong.
If you do not have the option via Gmail or similar maybe use a friends or family members email, after asking them of course, just to get you past the extra security.
You are not going to be able to purchase any items until you update with the additional security that iTunes now needs, and the 2nd email is not going to stop you using your usual email that you use to log into your iTunes account.

I have songs I purchased on my phone that won't download they are just greyed out

I purchase a few songs from Itunes and the won't download on my phone and when I go to try and manually up load they are grayed out. I can go to itunes and if will let me play the song but not download it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello sb2776,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. There are two things to try. The first is to Power down and Restart the phone.
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
The second would be to go back into the iTunes app > More > Purchases > Music., then click the cloud icon to download the song. The following article will provide additional assistance.

IPad app won't download

iPad app ,won't download suggestions

Hi IAndrewD,
Several issues have encountered this issue. We've seen it in some of our reviews on the app store and on our support email list ([email protected]). So far, everyone who's contacted us has been able to successfully update after verifying that their network connection was working and restarting the download.
Please try the following:
1) Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on
2) Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
3) Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
4) If this doesn't work, go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
I'd also be happy to work with you on our support email alias or by phone if you email [email protected]
Thank you!
Pat

I have a download waiting for my new ipod touch, and whenever I press update, on the computer, it says downloading, time remaining 10hrs,however, on my ipod, it doesn't even show up. It syncs, but won't download anything. What to do?

I am having problems with updating and downloading from my mac to my ipod, won't download at all. any advice?

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:
DFU mode: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/04/ipad-dfu-mode/

IBook won't download and can't delete

I recently downloaded iBooks. Today I downloaded an iBook and it won't download properly, always freezes. I want to delete it but seems you can't because it hasn't downloaded. I deleted the iBooks app but on reinstallation it keeps trying to download the ibook. Help please!

Same thing happened to me! Flippin' annoying! I can't get them to download, iTunes won't let me delete them. But everytime I connect my iPad or iPhone, it pops up and wants to download them. Then it sits for hours trying to download and nothing happens, except locking up my computer and rendering it completely useless. I just want to delete the two books out of iTunes permanently but I can't find out how to do it. I would like some help too!
