Apple loops are greyed out

okay first off, if you try to give me a link to other FAQs it will not help as i have searched them already, only to find that they have helped me not in the least...
here is my problem
1. i make a new project 2. i go to the show loops in browser 3. when i go to the browser where the loops are they are there but greyed out 4. when i try to click on them it says "The Software instrument or Apple Loop selected is not currenlty installed on your computer. Would you like to install the complete set of GarageBand instruments and loops?" 5. i click yes to download now 6. it check for updates and then says your software is up to date 7. i try again and still the loops are greyed out.
at this point i am extremely mad and decided to look online for help
i followed some FAQs and decided to locate my loops folder which low and behold
EXISTS!! i decide to play the loops in quicktime and turns out they are working fine all 501 of them.
So why the DARN doesnt garageband recognize that these loops are installed and on mymac?
Please help

no man!! did you even read my post i said dont give me links!!!
i have been to that site and nothing in there helped me
unless i just dont know where to look, if so then do tell me...
although i am starting to believe you are a bot
which would be very lame

  • Some of my loops are greyed out... is there something wrong?

    In my loop browser some but not all of my loops are greyed out and can't be played. For instance, slide guitar, celeste, vocals and horns. Should these be normally accessible and if so what could be wrong with mine. How can I fix this?

    Thank you. I thought there was something wrong with my Garageband installation but now I know that if I want these I have to buy the Jam packs. Last time I looked at a Jam Pack box it didn't list the detailed contents (loops) though.

  • APPLE LOOPS UTILITY GREYED OUT IN MY MENU

A friend of mine said i can install it(apple loops utility) from my apple os installations disk but when i load up the install disk i can fing it on the disk anywhere. what can i do?
    MAC BOOK 1.2G RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Its not in the Logic download from the app store, I'm afraid, this is a similar discussion that you may find helpful - bit of a muddle in communications, perhaps, but, anyway you can get Apple Loops Utility if you really need it -

  • How do I purchase additional loops for GarageBand that are greyed out?

    Just purchased a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.  When I launch Garageband, many of the loops are greyed out as are many of the instruments.
    Where do I go to purchase the upgrades to get all of the instruments and all of the loops?

    I’m aware of two ways:
    Option 1:  Go to any Verizon store and purchase a data plan.
    Option 2:  The $15 $60 $90 refill card from Wal-Mart
    Walmart No.: 550562111
    Model No.: VERIZONBB 17735
    (Best Buy and Radio Shack sell the device and may have the card)
    1) Purchase a data plan using the refill card at Wal-Mart
    2) Add the card to your account by calling the number on back
    3) Activate the card by calling back and speaking to an agent (this gets you online)
    4) Tell the agent to setup your online account and email your account password
    5) Go to Verizonwireless.com/account and complete the online account setup
    When your data plan runs out, “Verizon QuickAccess” comes up. Once your account setup is complete you can add refill cards and purchase and activate data plans through quickaccess.com without calling Verizon.

  • Has anyone experience a problem with not being able to add a drumbeat loop to a prerecorded project?  When I open the loop browser, there are only a few options available.  The rest are greyed out.  I can only choose individual drum sounds, not full beats

    I have created a project and recorded 2 tracks, one with a guitar and the other vocals.  I would like to add a drum loop, but when I pull up the loop browser, all of the normal selections aren't available.  Some are greyed out, including "Beats".  "All Drums" is available, but when I click on it it pulls up some cymbal sounds only.  I've opened some old recordings in GB to see if this is a consistent issue, but it's not.  Only this one project won't allow me to use drum loops.  Which leads me to believe there is something I have selected or not selected within the project that's not allowing me to see all the loops.  Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Iphone fingerprint options are greyed out and won't enable!!

    I Have had my iPhone 5s since feb and never had an issue, but just yesterday the finger print scanner stopped working... Went back in to enable and the options are greyed out.. When I click them to enable them it just says failed. Have restored and turned off loads!! Help!!!!

  • Inline options are greyed out

    The Inline options are greyed out. I can't imagine why this wouldn't work like it does in Pages. Is there a work-around?

  • GB won't open- This is what I get... Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index  st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser

    Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index  st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser.  Then I get this message...
    Instrument Library Invalid
    GarageBand Ecpects a valid instrument foledr in /Libraty/Application Support/GarageBand
    Please choose a valid instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GB
    Any solutions?

    Is this a new installation of GarageBand or has it worked before on the same computer?
    Or have you transferrred your GarageBand from a different computer?
    The error message is saying, that your GarageBand installation is incomplete. There are essential foldrs missing in your system library. 
    Check, if indeed both folders are missing or if only the permissions are set incorrectly.
    Your system library (the folder "System" directly on your system drive) should have the following folders inside the folder "Audio", and they need to be readable by the system and by administrators.
    And in the folder /Library/Application Support there should be the Instrument Library.
    If these folders do not exist (or no longer exist), restore them from your backup-  If your GarageBand version is a new installation, the application may not hve been downloaded or installed completely, then reinstall GarageBand.
    What is your GarageBAnd version, and how did you install it originally?
    Regards

  • TS1574 Hi, I dont have sound on my imac. The options in sound are greyed out and there is nothing in the output list

    itunes and you tube are not working.  There is no sound. When I am in itunes and play a song, the song does not start.
    I checked system preferences, sound.  There is no output options and the input options are greyed out.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers.
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • All my songs are greyed out on my iPod except for the songs in my itunes library

    I have over 10,000 songs on my ipod touch and when I connect to my Macbook Pro and go to itunes it states that there are over 10,000 songs on my ipod, but when I click to play them a little exclamation mark appears before it. (As it does when the source cannot be found.) At the bottom of itunes it still shows a large blue Audio bar stating that I have over 10,000 songs on it somewhere, but I cannot play them. When disconnecting from Itunes the artists and albums are all showing, but as soon as I go into an album all the songs are greyed out. This only just happened yesterday when adding a few extra songs I downloaded to my itunes and dragged and dropped them to my ipod.
    Please help me, the data should be on the ipod somewhere, but for some reason I cannot reach it. I do not have a backup, so this is really annoying
    Thanks for any help

    Try:

    The grey-out ones may not be recoverable.

  • New 6th generation ipod - loaded my library onto the iPod  all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist.

    I have purchased a new 6th generation ipod and registered it with Apple- it has loaded all my library onto the iPod but when the library is displayed all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist. Can anyone help me ?

    The content that you are viewing on your Nano via iTunes is grayed out since your iPod is set up for automatic syncing with your iTunes library.  If you want to be able to manually manage your contents (which is sounds like you are trying to do), you must enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

  • Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many (not all) documents that cannot be opened in either Pages '09 or Pages 5.  They show on my doc lists, but are greyed out so I can't try to change extensions or anything else.  Some are PDFs.

    Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09.  The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out.  They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs.  As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error.  I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices.  I just want to be able to open my saved documents!  Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating.  I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade."  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
    To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
    Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
    Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
    Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
    As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
    If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
    To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
    When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

  • I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.

    I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac.  The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out.  How do I get them recognized.  The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud.  I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
