All my loops are present in the browser, but when I drag a sound over it doesn't match.  With beats, I get no percussion sounds, just a basic 8-bit type sound.

I had a critical failure on my Mac and have slowly been rebuilding it, but Garageband just doesn't want to cooperate.  This is actually a two-fold problem.   First problem is; all of my loops are in my browser and when I click on one for a preview sound, it works fine.  But, when I drag it into the project window I lose any the correct sound.  They still have sound, but it will be a basic "blip, bloop" type 8-bit sound.  This is namely with any kind of beats or percussion.  Say I try to use a Trip Hop loop, all I get is the blips and bloops but no hi-hats, no snare, no kind of percussion sound at all. 
Second problem:  As I said before, all of my loops are correct in my loop browser, but they didn't seem to transfer over the MIDI sounds that I can usually choose from in the Track Info pane.  It still only has the most basic sounds to choose from.  Before, I had all the different MIDI sounds to choose from, such as Star Sweeper and the like, but those are all gone.  I've tried to drag-and-drop into that pane but it won't let me.
I really hope that someone has an answer for this, I have a lot of projects I've been working on for a long time that are basically trash right now because I can't do anything with them.

Missing Instruments:
The pop-up menu at the top of the track info pane filters the instruments: Make sure it is set to "show all".
I am not sure at all about your drums, however. You do not drag your drum-loops to tracks with different instruments, do you?
What you describe, looks exactly like something where transposing the drum loops and shifting the notes. This would cause the beats to be mapped to different instruments. And this is not suposed to happen, when you set the key of your project or transpose the master track.
Does this happen only in your account, or also when you launch GarageBand form a diffrent user account? You might create a new account forr testing, to explore this.
