Apple Loops disappeared

Hi gang,
I created two Apple Loops from a couple audio regions in my session so I could adjust the tempo. Only one of the regions succesfully converted and imported to an apple loop, but now my entire Apple Loop library is gone and I have have those two loops that I created. (of which only one works with audio in it)
How can I restore my Loops library?
Much thanks,
Alex

Can you post a screenshot of your loop browser in Logic?

Why did some of my apple loops disappear?

Some of my apple loops are not showing up in my loop browser. Its not because of any options, I have checked that all out. The loops are still on my computer but they don't show up in my loop browser.
Please Help.
Thanks,
BS

Brandon...
I think something is wrong with the apple loop browser. do you happen to have alot of loops loaded in?
I import loop folders all the time. with the same kind of files in them. yet sometimes only half or even less than half show up after "indexing"

Midi apple loops disappear. Why?

All blue (audio loops) remain in the loop folder, I had greens before but all of sudden they has gone. I downloaded additional content, but says it's complete.

This is normal behavior. If you want the midi loop to sound exactly like auditioned in the preview you will have to create an audio track and move the midi region onto the audio track, and then it will sound exactly the same.

Apple loops have disappeared?

I clicked on Re-Index apple loops user library, and all my loops disappeared. I went on garageband and re indexed them again there, but not all of my loops have appeared.
I've reindexed spotlight, I've re installed Logic, but they're still not there. Why? 130 pounds isn't cheap for software that doesn't work...
Oh and also some of the instruments have disappeared.

I've got a **** of a lot of work to do for tomorrow (which I NEED logic for) and I can't bloody use it.
How do I get them back?

So were mine (I forgot to put in "Audio") but they aren't any longer and I'm wondering why Spotlight can't see them.

Loop Browser - Removing files/folders not indexed in the Apple Loops Index

Hi...
I experimented with dragging in a SFX folder to the Logic Pro Loop Browser window. It asked me if I wanted to copy files to the Apple Loops folder or reference the original files, and I selected reference the originasl files.
The SFX files were then listed under the OTHER area of the View menu.
Question... HOW do I remove these SFX files/folder from the OTHER view menu?
I have tried deleting all of the Apple Loop Index files and that did not work.
I have tried deleting the actual SFX files/folders, and after they disappear, but when I restore the SFX files/folders to their source location they reappear in the logic browser view menu.
Is there some where else Logic stores Loop Browser reference data which can be deleted to remove these OTHER files/folders from the Loop Browser view menu?
Thanks

Success...
OK I found the solution.
1) I deleted the SFX audio files from the referenced HDD source location.
2) I opened Logic and re-index the Loop Browser.
3) I quit Logic and copied the SFX files back to the HDD.
When I opened Logic this time, the SFX files/folders referenced under the OTHER menu were gone.
Because I have a huge production music & SFX library, the best way to audition these sources for use in a Logic project, is to audition in iTunes and then just drag whatever I need right from within itunes into the Logic project.
That keeps my Logic loop browser more manageable and focused on composing.

After reinstalling system software, Apple Loops won't re-index

I have an odd problem that I really need some help with. I feel like there must be a simple solution, and I'm just missing something obvious.
The other day I had to do an archive and install from my original system disks (10.4.2) and then bring myself back to 10.4.11 (running a dual quad-core G5 here). I had to manually move my audio units and virtual instruments back to my current logic setup and application support folders.
I just went into the Loop Browser, and all of my apple loops have disappeared from the window. The loops exist on various external hard drives, and I normally just drop them onto the loop browser and pick "keep at current location" - then the browser indexes them, and everything is fine.
This is the first time I'm accessing apple loops since I reinstalled the system software (and I do still have the "Previous System" folder that the archive-and-install generates), and I got a blank list in the loop browser. So I tried dragging and dropping a few loop libraries, but to no avail - it appears to index them quickly (taking 1-2 seconds) but then there's still nothing in the browser. I've deleted the old index text files, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Can anyone help me figure out how to get my apple loops to re-index properly?

Wrong!
this could be the problem...
Permission must be active
Logic studio require license... so require permission
if the external drive as set to ignore permussion logic will never index a folder without ownreship
you need to pay for Apple Loops
they are not free
they are included in Logic Studio or you need to BUY JamPacks as individual DVD expansion...
*External disk with ignore permission are not allowed...*
*The only way is...*
*you need to create a Alias folder of all contents after installing Logic in the original location... than move that folder original on external drive.... and than you must delete de alias suffis on orther tha the folder must have the same permission as original.... It must be located in the same original location*

Trying to re-index apple loops. can't...

Ok, i've read the manual, done forum searches and can't seem to get the factory apple loops to show up in the browser.
i've tried drag the folder into the browser, and also tried highlighted and dragging the files themselves, but a dialog box flashes for a second and no loops get indexed there.
I've also tried dragging them into the soundtrack loop utility, where they then show up in the list. when i then opened logic, the loops were in the browser, but upon trying to play them, i was told that " the files couldn't be located, do i want to re-index the loops" i clicked yes. and they all disappeared. tried dragging them to the loop utility again. next time i opened the loop browser in logic. they weren't there still.
can anyone help me out?
thanks,
rob

jord, i did also try moving individual files, and they just won't add to the index. the window saying it's indexing pops open for a split second and disappears. nothing gets indexed. it must be a problem with not having an index file in the apple loops index folder. i must have accidentally trashed it, but i would have imagined it would recreate one. someone even suggested trashing it.
I also tried re-installing garage band, and i checked the files, and they are read and write. I've also updated to 7.1.1. And these are the original apple loops which i can't get indexed. Strange.
I wonder, if someone emailed me an index file, maybe i could re-index then.
any ideas, offers?

Re index Apple Loops

I moved my Apple Loops to an external hard drive because I was running out of space but when I went to open an Apple Loop it could not find it.
I tried continue but that couldnt find it so tried re index loops and now the loop browser has only a few loops I put in and most of the catagories are not highlighted for me to pick.
any help welcome.
1) can I have loops on a seperate drive?
2) how do I get the loop Browser back to normal?
thanks,
Bongolian

Apple Loops Are Gone, But Still In Folder

All my apple loops have disappeared from Logic Pro, as well as a lot of plugin presets.
However they're still in the "/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/" folder in the following folders
Apple Loops For Soundtrack Pro
iLife Sound Effects
Jam Pack 1
Jam Pack Remix Tools
However Re-indexing the loops inside of Logic doesn't re-index them and can't find any loops.
Any suggestions? Would there be like a cache file I have to delete or something?
This happened around the time of the 9.1 update

Maybe your Spotlight index is corrupt or disabled for the drive where the files are? People have ben running to this problem when disabling Spotlight. Try reindex using a program called OnyX. Maybe there is other ways to do this.

Green loops disappear--how to get them back without reloading LExpress?

I just got the new macbook pro with Logic express pre-installed. As I'm doing the tutorial, everything is going just as the tutorial says it should. Then, when I go to open the next loop, logic asks me if I want to change something. I don't know what it was asking me to do! And the tutorial didn't mention anything about that, so when it asked me for my password to do so, I just pressed cancel. After that, all the green loops disappeared! I don't know how to get them back and I'm really frustrated! the tutorial wants me, for example, to go to elec piano and all drums, but they are greyed out and i can't click on them. Then, I started right clicking those buttons to see if I can get them to open, and I pressed other buttons and it changed the buttons. (ex: right click All Drums>genre, Instrument, descriptors. When I chose one of those, the all drums button disappeared and now I have a different button there. How do I get the green loops back and make the loops tab the way it originally was???? WHAT DID I DO?!?! A previous poster said he fixed it by uninstalling Logic, and reinstalling it but I don't want to do that.

I am sure this is a bug and you have to report this to Apple ASAP. Describe what you did exactly. This is the second time I see a LE9 user having such a problem. And it is a very annoying tendency, if you ask me.
There is no other way apparently to have this fixed than to re-install Logic Express.

Suddenly ALL loops disappeared - where do I find them?

My mac crashed and for some strange reason all Apple loops were gone? How do I restablish them?
Macintosh Mac OS X (10.4.8) Dobb. 2 GHz powerPC G5 /1.5GB DDR SDRAM

Sorry to be a dunce, but I am technically challenged and can't figure out how to do what you suggest. However, my lightroom now only lists three things under "Catalog" and basically only the 16 folders that didn't disappear are there, so I suspect it isn't just the fact that I opened the wrong catalog. It would seem, then, that for some unknown reason, my folders have been removed. So, the question is, how do I find them and put them back into lightroom?

Cannot Save my Audio Files as Apple Loops in Logic 8

Everytime I click save it says "Check Destinations drive available Space".
This happens EVERY TIME I try to save one of my own audio file as an Apple Loop!
"Save As" works fine. Im not the only person asking this... Anyone? Appreciate any help...

I just checked this on my older PPC (Dual 2 G5) system, as I thought it was still working... Well, yep, it is working on that system, but not on either of my Intel Logic rigs (Macbook Pro and Jan08 8 core).

Re indexing issues in Apple Loop Browser (LP 9.0.2 / OSX 10.6.1 / Digi 002r

I'm trying to re index my loop browser in LP9 / OSX10.6.1
Are you having the same problem?
After trashing the 'Apple Loop Index', I pull in a folder from an external drive and notice that previous folders added to my browser have gone, including Jam Packs.
Also, I can't find the 're-index' option within the loop browser search option (right click brings down a list but the re-index option isn't there)
Interested to see whet you find.

Yep, I also had issues, where indexing the LP8 way (dragging folders with loops from the Finder onto the Logic loop browser) just bluffed to work (I dropped the folder on the LB, a progress window appeared, things apparently got done, but then nothing, no new entries in the Loop Browser.
So it seems that it is a L9 problem, since our Macs' are different in every aspect (Me: PPC- you: Intel, me: Leopard- you: Snow Leopard).
I finally decided to put all my loops in their default install locations and reindex them from there:
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple:*
Jam Pack 4 - Symphony Orchestra
Jam Pack Voices
Jam Pack World Music
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/iLife Sound Effects:*
(13 folders)
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops:*
(some folders with my own and 3rd party Loops)
*Library/Application Support/Garageband/Apple Loops:*
Apple Loops for Garageband
Jam Pack 3- Rythm Section
for thorough reindexing, here are the steps:
1. Quit Logic and/or any other app that uses Apple Loops.
2. Go to all the locations I pointed out and trash all the index files from the *Apple Loops Index* folders. Also check the same locations in your Users/'you'/Library folder.
3. Start Logic with a new empty project, open the loop browser window by hitting the o key. Now drag the folders mentioned above in bold onto your loop browser. Logic should now index them correctly, including the foldermenu !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4085966954bf4fc039d7o.png! in the loop browser.

Loop browser vs the loops in audio apple loops

My number is different in the loop browser. lets say
show all> i hit reset then all drums, the number is less than that that is what in the drum folder i have in the HD.
same for Guitar and others.
i.e. all the loops i have in the HD are not in the loop browser.
I have all prefs in Loop set to not filter and reset keywords.
is there a shortcut/proper method to show every loop i have in the HD showing in the loop browser.
I thank you all
and have a nice day making music.
glenn

Ht
an honor to hear from you
and i would hope you have 5 minutes to clarify or atleast add your thoughts here. I am puzzled by this.
I went ahead and bought thousands of loops from third party.
i have 2486 elect guitar loops.
and 349 acoustic guitar loops. filter is off
they are reindexed.
In the apple loops folder where i store all the loops, i have created folders for each instrument ( as close as i could associate them ).
i have the guitar electric folder ( 2486 loops ) acoustic (349 ) harp etc etc etc. If i type in names they show ( most seem to ) but one cannot memorize names of 10,000 loops. I cant!
so if i go into the lbrowser i am expecting to see in all guitars a number almost equal to about 2800. Now you say time signature will mismatch that. But you see there is a mismatch of about 600 guitar loops!? that doesnt make sense does it? they are residing elsewhere, where i do not know except ofcourse in my meticulous folder Guitar electric on my HD.
1. Reindexing makes sure that every loop in my HD is in the loop Browser isnt that the case. I dont remember if i dragged all of them over the browser or not.
2. It seems to me ( and see no other options here ) that if i want to be able to peruse all of my loops and have them accessible i have to have the lib>audio>apple loops>folders of loops open so that i can choose those that are not being brought up in the browser and as you say have time signatures that are different?
how do i then bring up those no shows in the browser if they are not showing up ( acc to you )due to signature problems because they might be usable if edited?
3. i could check off favorites couldnt I and then have maybe 2000 loops to chose from. Aint this a kick in the ***?
Im trying to organize as best i can what loops i have on the HD
so that i can see them exactly organized and neatly in the browser, but APPLE has made this very very difficult i think.
i appreciate your time thoughts and forgive me for insisting on an answer here which i may not get.
