Duplicate "Apple Loops for Garage Band"...which ones should I keep?

Hi. I've just started using GarageBand 3 (3.0.4), and noticed that I have duplicates of each and every instrument loop. Both Loops folders are located in my user:Library, one in "Audio" the other in "Application Support". Once you drill down to the actual "Loops" folder, the contents are exactly the same. Which one should I keep, which should I toss (it takes up a gig, which is why I want to toss one.)?

You have to locate your Loops Index files (good chance you have two folders with that name), then start GB and drag the loops that you still want into the Loops window for re-indexing.
Uh presumably after you have located the Index files and before you start GB, you are supposed to do something to the Index files (like delete them)? Maybe this was implied, but it was not explicit.

Planning on selling 1 of the 10.5.6 DVDs, which one should I keep?

I have 2 Mac OS X 10.5.6 DVDs, the gray retail one that came with my computer and one I had bought separately with the spacey background. Which one should I keep? And when Snow Leopard comes should I sell the remaining OS X DVD or keep it in case there are computer problems and I need to reinstall?

The one which you got with the computer.
And when Snow Leopard comes should I sell the remaining OS X DVD
No. That DVD isn't allowed to be sold separately from the computer it came with and cannot be used to install the OS on a different Mac model.

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

Can't download loops for Garage Band '11

I tried to access a few drum loops from my library, and it said that I had to download an update from the App Store, but when I click "Download Now" the App Store says there's no updates available. How can I fix this???

Is this your first GarageBand installation, fresh from the AppStore, or did you upgrade and reinstall GarageBand?
If it is a new insrallation, make sure you are signed into to AppStore with the AppleID you used to buy GarageBand, before you try to download the additional contents in GarageBand.
but when I click "Download Now" the App Store says there's no updates available.
Don't click "Download Now", but click "Download Later".
Wait a bit, then quit the AppStore, and open it again, to reload the Purchases page and look for an update.
But that alone may not suffice.
To make the additional content appear you may have to do the full monty and deinstall GarageBand completely, reboot, then reinstall.

Original Loops For Garage Band

Hi Gang
Anyone ever buy from this gentleman?
He's got 100% feedback, and he claims that all his loops are 'ORIGINAL' not counterfeit Discs of Apple Jam Packs.

Hi tscassid
Ok here's the story, (and it's probably an OLD story) for some.
This gentleman has 100% feedback, and claims all his loops are 'ORIGINAL' not counterfeit Discs of Apple Jam Packs. My gut feeling is that he's honest, and all he's doing is offering a creative alternative to Jam Pack Loops.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150417752948
I wouldn't trust this guy;
http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-GarageBand-Jam-Pack-3-Rhythm-Section-News-Awesome_W0QQ itemZ250586593913 < He already told me that his software are copies of Apple Jam Packs!
And I would ABSOLUTELY NOT trust this guy;
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://macworldmusic.com/software.aspx < This SOB sent me a cracked hoaky disc copy, and Pay Pal will NOT help here because it's NOT an ebay transaction. END OF STORY!
I'm ashamed to say I usually don't fall for stuff like this. Luckily I'm only out $36. These BRAZEN BAST**DS ACTUALLY USE THE APPLE LOGO WITH NO FEAR!
FOLKS PAY HEED HERE - Buy the REAL THING!
Thanx

HT1338 What Interface does Apple recommend for Garage Band as the D.A.W. ?

I Have a Line 6 Toneport UX-2. It does not work with my new MacBook Pro.I need to know what the Experts recommend I use as an Interface for Vocals,Guitar and Bass. I'm very excited about GarageBand and need a way "Into" my Computer..Thank you .GuitarGordy.

I use The Apogee Duet. It's a wonderful interface..straightforward, clean, and solid. They make an eight track model, The Apogee Ensemble. It's quite expensive, but if you shop around perhaps you could find a deal on it. It would be over your budget, but it's worth considering.
Here's a link to it on Musician's Friend:

Best of luck.

How to contact Apple for Garage Band iPad bugs?

I looked around a little bit, but couldn't find a place to report Garage Band bugs or contact Apple support for Garage Band iPad. I wanted to notify Apple of the problem that bluetooth audio output in Garage Band does not work. (Yes I am aware of the latency, however, this would still appear to be a bug in Garage Band if a user has explicitly set audio output to bluetooth. Not all applications fo Garage Band require zero latency.)

Which one should I learn first?

I am becoming an common Oracle DBA and I want to learn RedHat Linux. But I do not know the difference between Redhat Linux 9 and Redhat Enterprise Linux 5. What are they for? Which one should I learn first?

But I do not know the difference between Redhat Linux 9 and Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.RedHat Linux 9 is very oldest brother of RHEL5. While RH9 is public (free of charge) distribution, RHEL5 is commercial no free (of charge) distribution. Redhat 9 was last public (free) release from Redhat corporation, since next release it was called Fedora. Name "Redhat" is used only for Commercial enterpise distribution.
There is not difference between using/mantaining of them. But the main difference is that Redhat 9 has pretty old version of kernel, and other packages and is not supported by Oracle.
What are they for?If we are speaking about Linux then we are speaking about Unix like operating system. So your question is just like "What is Windows for?".
Which one should I learn first?As I said before, there is not difference between using/mantaining of them. But as Redhat 9 is pretty old distribution then use RHEL5. There is also existing distribution Centos which is clone of RHEL. When you install Centos 5 in fact you are using RHEL but with changed logos and texts (brands). But unfortunatelly this clone is not officialy supported by Oracle so it can't be use for production Oracle installations. For more informations and download look here: http://www.centos.org
There is also another RHEL clone shipped by Oracle (and is supported by Oracle of course). You can download it from http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux

HT204053 How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

Welcome to the community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

Multiple Apple ID's, which one should be main iCloud ID on iOS 5?

Hey! Seems like iCloud is a bit more complex to setup than I had thought it would be. Here's the situation. I have two Apple ID's. One is my @me.com account that I just migrated to iCloud. Second Apple ID is an @gmail.com account that I use for all of my iTunes purchases (also migrated to iCloud. I know you can have multiple Apple ID's setup in iOS (by means of "Mail, Contacts, Calenders"), but there is only room for one account under the "iCloud" tab/setting under iOS settings. Which one should be used here? My @me.com, or the one I use for iTunes purchases? ...or does it even matter? Just want to set everything up optimally from the start so I don't have to go back later and correct something.
Thanks all for your assistance!

How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is

my iPhone 4 keeps asking me to enter the apple ID for an account which no longer exists….please help

I should have also said that the only reason this is causing me an issue is because I have bought a new phone and I want to sell this one. But I cannot erase all data because I cannot turn off find my phone because it keeps asking for the password for an account which no longer exists…. have tried so many suggestions but nothing is working...

How to get full sound library for Garage Band

I recently purchased the upgrade for Garage Band on my 06 iMac. I received a huge library of sounds with the upgrade. However, two days later, we had a power spike and I lost that computer. So - I bought a New MacBook Pro Retna with the latest version of Garage Band on it, however, it is missing what seems likes hundreds of real instrument sounds. Any suggestions? Can't seem to find a way to downlod all thode extra great sounds like strings and sound FX.
Thanks.

I recently purchased the upgrade for Garage Band on my 06 iMac.
What kind of upgrade did you buy? Jam Packs for GarageBand, like "Symphony Orchestra"? They are not included in the preinstalled version that comes with a new mac.
it is missing what seems likes hundreds of real instrument sounds.
Are loops missing or instruments? If loops are missing, do they appear to greyed out in the loop browser? If they are greyed out, have you pressed the little arrow to the right of the loop name, to download the additional content?
To be able to download the additional content, you have to accept the preinstalled iLife to your AppleID at the AppStore. Sign into the AppStore, go to the "Purchased" tab - "Accept" section, and press the "Accept" button for your iLife apps.

If it are the JamPack, that are missing, post back please.

Best Midi Keyboard for garage band?

Hi
is it possible to import wav samples into garage band, and then assign them to an external beat pad to create loops using an external beat pad?
Also, what do you guys think is the best midi keyboard to get for garage band? (if the beat pad thing works, i want to get a keyboard with a beat pad on it)
THANKS

Here's the link for the M-Audio Keystation 49e 49-Note USB MIDI Controller Keyboard for exactly $89. Oh, and it's Plug and Play, no drivers, no AC power, just plug it into a Mac's USB port.
(And needless to say, I am another happy 49e owner)
Was there a particular reason you were looking at those two keyboards?

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.
