All of my instrument loops from Garage band '09 have disappeared. What do I do?

All of the insturment loops I have been using have disappeared. They don't show up in new projects, nor are they accessible in old ones that were created using the loops. I have tried to locate the loops on the HD as others have posted but they are not there. They only loops that exist there are the FX loops which I have access to. Why has this happened and what can I do? Using an iMac if that makes a difference. Also, I suspect that a software update may have been conducted recently, so this might suggest where the problem started. Can I check if one indeed has? (I'm not the only user of the computer).

Well we need a lot more information
like what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What recently changed? do you have a backup?
If you depress and hold the opeion key and launch iPhoto do you see multiple libraries in the select library window that results? If you do check each one

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

I recently submitted a question re. the volume which when I send from Garage Band 2008

I recently submitted a question re. sharing music I create and send from Garage Band 2008 to iTunes 11.1.1. I create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime (latest version) and ultimately to YouTube. By the time the file gets to Quicktime, the volume has defaulted to a low level which is unacceptable. This never happened until I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. How can I keep the volume? Must I update all of my iLife software?

export the exact length:

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x? Sorry if this is a newbie question. I have been editing in final Cut express on my MacBook Pro and just jumped to a new iMac and Final Cut ProX. Trying to record my own voice on a Yeti mic and import it as narration for a video. Thought I could simply import media but X has it greyed out.

Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

Try:
Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
Import that file into FCPX.

PS We are only in town for a few more hours & I'd love to get this done for him. He's in PA & I'll never be able to walk him through this by phone:)

Can't import ringtone from Garage band 6.0.5 to iTunes 11.0.4

On my Mac I can't import ringtone from Garage band 6.0.5 to iTunes 11.0.4. I can create the ringtone but when I share it vanishes instead of going into the Tones like it used to do.

Is that, how far you get?
You select, "New Project" and select a "Podcast" project template? And then you get that error message? Or do you see the File Choser dialogue, but get the error message, when you try to save the project?
That can either mean, that the "Podcast" project template is not readable, or that you cannot write to the GarageBand folder in your home folder.
Check the System Library, if the Podcast template is properly installed:
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Templates/Projects/
Look into the folder "Library", directly on your MacintoshHD, then "Application Support", "GarageBand", "Templates" for 08. Podcast.band.
If it is not there, then your GarageBand installation is incomplete and you need to reinstall it. If the file is there, check the permissions. Can you open the file 8. Podcast.band, if you copy it to your Desktop and double click it, to open it in GarageBand?

Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

Hi Jdireen,
As someone who uses the iLife applications on a daily basis on my Mac I can understand how it would be upsetting to have them disappear suddenly. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
You can download the applications again and reinstall them from the Mac App Store -
GarageBand - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id682658836?mt=12
iMovie - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imovie/id408981434?mt=12
iPhoto - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks. This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you - e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

Where can I get additional loops for garage band

I have been limited in the groves in the drum beats and grooves that came with Garage Band 11, I would like to add addional loops.
How does one go about useing loops THAT WORK SEMELESSLY WITH GB

How does one go about useing loops THAT WORK SEMELESSLY WITH GB
The best solution for additional GarageBand loops would be to get the JamPacks, i.e. JamPack "Remix Tools" and "Rhythm Section". These will give you plenty of drum beats and grooves.
The Jam Packs have been discontinued, but you get them all, when you buy Mainstage 2 at the AppStore for a moderate fee. Mainstage 2 will install all Jam Packs and additional instruments in the same place where GarageBand and Logic loops and instruments are installed, so you can use them seemlessly from GarageBand as well. And the price for MainStage 2 with all JamPacks included is as far less than the price for a single JamPack used to be.
Alternately search the Bullets & Bones FAQ for free loops http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/PlugInsDrumLoops.html

I can not access igrand ap from garage band

Garage band for ipad is not recognizing igrand ap from the Inter-ap instruments.

Know why my mix from Garage Band imported into iTunes is incomplete?

I got a spankin' new iMac and I'm trying to download original Garage Band mixes (combo of midi and real instrument tracks, no more than 12) into iTunes to write a CD. Regardless of the mix format (aif, aac, mp3), when I import into iTunes, some mixes only inlcude one or two of the tracks (the songs play perfectly in Garage Band). One attempt with a song from an aif file imported into iTunes as 9 seperate files, one for each track!

What steps did you take?
Usually you would be able to export song to iTunes via Share --> Send song to iTunes...
I never encountered any problems but maybe you are doing something different?
