Hey all! Im using Logic Express 7. Im having trouble with my apple loops utility,ITS NOT THERE! For some strange reason its greyed out in the dropdown list. 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 -

Installing logic studio 9, soundtrack pro and loops utility greyed out

Hi,
I'm trying to reinstal logic studio 9 and on the screen where you select and deselect the instal options soundtrack pro (and therefore compressor) are labelled as skip and greyed out not allowing select. The same is true for the apple loops utility. I'm pretty sure i removed all the files of previous instal. Anyone help?

nevermind i found this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/10690183#10690183

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

All drum loops in LE 8 are greyed out and Apple loops utility 'can't be installed'

Hi
I installed Logic Express 8 and have loads of loops missing, especially the drum loops.
Even the Apple loops utility is giving me problems. It looks like the Apple loops utility was installed (because I have the icon for it now), but everything inside that utility is greyed out. When I try to re-install it, i get the error message 'Apple Loops Utility can’t be installed on this computer. The specified message could not be found for the index 0.'
I have a new MAC Mini OS X 10.6.7
Help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I have looked through other related discussions here but could not find the naswer.
I also just checked in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops to see if the files are there and of course they are not.
In fact, funnily enough, there are 0 files in the apple loops (although I do have plenty of loops that do play in LE8, just not the drum loops), which is strange. Where are all the files?????
I also found the following interesting point in the discussions here:
'The standard installation doesn't install all the loops. You'll have to do a custom installation and check the GB extras.'
The problem is that I am never given any option to do a custom installation when I install. It only offers the normal installation mode.

Hi,
1. On the newer Macs, iLife 11 or so, only a part of the loops is being installed, and the other part must be downloaded via software update. GB will tell you so if you select a greyed out loop.
2. Loops should all be in "(your HD)/library/audio/apple loops/apple", not in the user library.
3. If you find the loops are installed there but aren't shown in LE or in GB, you might want to re-index the loops.
4. If loops are still missing after re-indexing, drag the loops folder straight above your loop browser and drop them there - this should add the missing loops.

Where can I get a copy of Apple Loops Utility?

I recently dowload Logic Pro 9 from the App Store and discovered that it does not include Apple Loops Utility. Anyone know where I can donload a copy ALU?

http://www.apple.com/logicpro/resources/ lists a number of resources where you can ask. On the resource page that utility is not specifically mentioned. You may also want to check out the Wikipedia article which references your utility at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Loops_Utility

After installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto

after installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto. How to update iphoto?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Tempo setting when creating Apple Loops (Utility)

Having chopped a long audio file (drum track) into exact bar/beat settings, saved as separate audio files, I'm having trouble with tempo settings when creating Loops in Apple Loops Utility.
The problem is that after saving a looped file (from the Utility), upon loading that loop file into the Utility again, the (interpreted) tempo of the file is now doubled, which really screws up playback and placement of the loop file.
For example, my original tempo is 72bpm. I save the files as Looping, with the correct number of beats for each file (4 for a 1 bar file, 8 for 2 bars, etc.), and the tempo in the info section on the right side of the Utility correctly shows 72bpm. After saving the file as a loop, and then opening it again in the Utility, suddenly the tempo shows 144, and playback is at half speed.
Oddly, I was able to successfully do this to another track from a song at a faster tempo. In that case, the loop files open as expected. And I'm using exactly the same process this time... humm???
How can I get around this?

Hi, thanks for the tip.
In this case, I have not added the loop to the loop library. Therefore it is not in the browser.
If I drag it from the audio bin, however, sometimes it will work. Other times it does not. I cannot seem to find a "cause and effect" here.
Thanks.
What version of Logic are you running. It works fine for me on Logic 9.1.3 in 32-bit mode. I seem to remember having the same problem as you're experiencing in Logic 8.0.2

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.

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
Léonie

Apple ID is greyed out

Cannot change Apple ID password as Apple ID is greyed out. how do I fix this

Hi Winston, this has not solved my problem (yes I'm having the same problem). I just did a factory reset on the Apple TV and was then finally able to play purchased movies after singing back into my Apple ID, but now the Apple ID is greyed out and won't let me sign out to put anyone else's Apple ID or to sign out in general. Most up to date firmware and everything...

I just reset my apple ID password and now all the imap folders in Apple Mail are greyed out. I can see the contents, but I don't get whay the folders are all greyed out. Can anyone help?

Assuming this is an iCloud mail account, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane, then sign back in with the new password.

Apple Loop Utility doesn't work

Hi everyone,
I've been a GarageBand user for a while now and have been able to create custom loops with the Apple Loop Utility/Soundrack Loop Utility. The main problem is, that the version that I have (was using version 1.1, then downloaded version 1.3.1) won't work on my computer now, yet it did previously. When I try to launch the loop utility, a message pops up saying that 'Apple loop utility has quit unexpectedly. Click reopen to relaunch the application again.' So I did, and it still won't launch.
At that time I was using MacOS X 10.5.3, and now have recently upgraded to MacOS X 10.6.3. Is the program not compatible with Snow Leopard or intel Macs?
Thanks
Jamie

Well, I have never used version 1.3.1... (seems to be fairly old, regarding the number ?)
The download from the Apple Developer Website should be version 3.0.1...?
(have you tried that one...?)

As far as I know, only version 1.4 should work natively with Intel Macs...?

Would anyone know where I can get or find the Apple Loops Utility??

Would anyone know where I can get or find the Apple Loops Utility??
I heard I can use the utlility with GB. Need to speed up some vocals/timestretch and someone said this program could work?
Any Oponions?
thanks, technoreid

you can also find it in your "ulitilty" folder located in the Applications folder.
I assume you have Logic installed or you'd be posting in the GB forum.
