EXTRA loops in library

Lots of posts re: missing loops.
I've got two complete sets in different libraries
There are 2 locations for Apple Loops Index, one is
in home/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
the other is in HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
Which one is GarageBand concerned with?
I have two complete Apple Loops Folders:
1 in Library/Audio/Apple Loops
the other in:
Library/Application Support/Garageband/Apple Loops
The one in the "Audio" folder has a newer date. Is the other one left over from a previous version install and CAN I DELETE IT?
It's taking up a lot of space and TWO of the same loops appear in the loop browser in Garageband.

You can safely delete one copy (if they really contain the same loops), I'd trash the older one. (Different versions of GB used to store the loops in different places obviously.)
If your Loop Browser is empty afterwards, don't panic, but drag the loops from the finder into the Loop Browser. If there's confusion, you might have to trash the Loop Index folder, too.

  • How to Format DataTable Column after load Datatable without extra loop ??

    How to Format Column after load Datatable without extra loop ??
    I dont want to do extra logic which can cause performance thing.
    I have datatable which get fill from Dataset after database query, now i need to format column as decimal but without extra logic.
    I was thinking to create clone and than Import row loop but it ll kill performance, its WPF application.
    Thanks

    You cannot do any custom things at all without doing some "extra logic". Formatting a number as decimal is certainly not a performance killer in any way whatsoever though.
    If you are displaying the contents of the DataTable in a DataGrid you could specify a StringFormat in the XAML:
    <DataGrid x:Name="dg1" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
    <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Number" Binding="{Binding num, StringFormat=N2}"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
    </DataGrid>
    Or if you are using auto-generated columns you could handle the AutoGeneratingColumn event:
    public MainWindow() {
    InitializeComponent();
    DataTable table1 = new DataTable();
    table1.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("num")
    DataType = typeof(decimal)
    table1.Rows.Add(1.444444444444);
    table1.Rows.Add(7.444444444444);
    dg1.ItemsSource = table1.DefaultView;
    dg1.AutoGeneratingColumn += dg1_AutoGeneratingColumn;
    void dg1_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e) {
    if (e.PropertyName == "num") {
    DataGridTextColumn column = e.Column as DataGridTextColumn;
    column.Binding.StringFormat = "N2";
    <DataGrid x:Name="dg1" />

  • ListCellRenderer causing extra looping and slow down, please help

    Guys
    Please could you kindly help me with my long-lasting problem
    concerning ListCellRenderer.
    I sent it originally to Programming Essentials but no replies at all:
    http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5388059&tstart=15
    Here is more detailed description of my problem that did not fit to my original posting (chech link above):
    For your convenience I made a special simplified version of my problem.
    Here are two fully compilable java-files that indicate my problem with simple GUI and System.out.print output. Please try to run my program, please.
    I try use ListCellRenderer and ListSelectionListener with a simple interactive list that contains four names, either male or female names, like:
    Bill
    James
    Martin
    Peter
    With a simple button "Change gender" the names can be changes to female names, and then again male names, etc...
    If you select THE FIRST NAME in the list and press "Change gender" button, the System.print.out shows unnecessarily repeating loops.These accumulating extra loops slow seriously down performance with long lists.
    Example output (the first name selected, so accumulating extra loops!!):
    Entering method ChangeGender
    ChengeGender method (name, index): Bill, 0
    Cell renderer (name, index): Bill, 0
    ChengeGender method (name, index): James, 1
    Cell renderer (name, index): Bill, 0
    Cell renderer (name, index): James, 1
    ChengeGender method (name, index): Martin, 2
    Cell renderer (name, index): Bill, 0
    Cell renderer (name, index): James, 1
    Cell renderer (name, index): Martin, 2
    ChengeGender method (name, index): Peter, 3
    Cell renderer (name, index): Bill, 0
    Cell renderer (name, index): James, 1
    Cell renderer (name, index): Martin, 2
    Cell renderer (name, index): Peter, 3
    Quitting method ChangeGender
    However, if you select OTHER NAMES THAN THE FIRST ONE (or no names at all) and press "Change gender", then no extra loops occur in System.out.print. Why?
    Example output (the second name selected, so no extra loops):
    Entering method ChangeGender
    ChengeGender method (name, index): Bill, 0
    ChengeGender method (name, index): James, 1
    ChengeGender method (name, index): Martin, 2
    ChengeGender method (name, index): Peter, 3
    Cell renderer (name, index): Bill, 0
    Cell renderer (name, index): James, 1
    Cell renderer (name, index): Martin, 2
    Cell renderer (name, index): Peter, 3
    Quitting method ChangeGender
    I will have list containing hundreds of names and therefore extra loops slow severely my application.
    Please explain how to avoid extra loops, also when the first name is selected.
    And please - if just possible - show me exactly which rows of my program must be rewritten and how.
    Thank you very much!

    Change
    for (int counter = 0 ; counter < names.length; counter++) {
        defaultListModel.addElement(names[counter]);
    }to
    ListDataListener[] listeners = defaultListModel.getListDataListeners();
    for(ListDataListener listener : listeners) {
        defaultListModel.removeListDataListener(listener);
    for (int counter = 0; counter < names.length; counter++) {
        defaultListModel.addElement(names[counter]);
    ListDataEvent evt = new ListDataEvent(defaultListModel,
            ListDataEvent.INTERVAL_ADDED,0,names.length-1);
    for(ListDataListener listener : listeners) {
        defaultListModel.addListDataListener(listener);
        listener.intervalAdded(evt);
    }

  • Loops in Library Lag Behind Playback

    Hi, I'm a Logic Express newbie.
    Things seem to be working pretty well, but whenever I play a composition and try to select Loops in the Library for previewing in realtime, the loops each take about 5 seconds to start playing. When I have nothing playing, the loops play instantly.
    Is this normal behavior? In Soundtrack and GarageBand I can instantly preview loops while playing my composition. Is there some sync setting I need to adjust?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, I guess it does snap to the next bar. But it doesn't make much sense (and is pretty disappointing) considering it breaks the ability to preview dozens or hundreds of loops in realtime, an ability that lesser apps (based on the same Logic engine) like GarageBand and Soundtrack have had since their inception.
    I'm going to log a feature request with Apple and hold off on purchasing upgrades to Logic Express (including Logic Studio which I was considering) until this is addressed, because I edit compositions that contain many loops and this issue is not present in less expensive apps like GB.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • HT1338 I would like to download the extra loops and midi instruments.

    There seem to be no updates available, but I would like to use the extra sounds that were not pre-loaded. Every time I try to download the midi files and loops it says check the app store.

    You are running the current version of Lion if you are running 10.7.3 (there is no "snow lion," btw.)

    Almost every time I start up Itunes I have to determine that all my music is out of Itunes (still on the original locations but not available in my library).
    It happens automatically.
    I looked in my 'recycle bin' folder and saw there were a lot of iTunes Library files.. (specifically the ones named in the title)

  • It seems there is no way to unlock or purchase the extra loops and sounds in Garageband

    It does not seem possible to purchase, restore, or download all of the loops and sounds in garage band 10.0.2.
    I'm told I already have purchased them already and to download them from my purchase list but there is nothing there aside from the Garageband app that is already installed. Any suggestions?

    Hi jonmenell,
    It sounds like you are looking for them in the Mac App Store.
    Try from within GarageBand instead: GarageBand menu, Restore Purchase.
    Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
    You can find this option by choosing Download More Sounds from the GarageBand menu. If you previously purchased this content, select Restore Purchase to install the content.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • FCS HD moving "extras" to external hd

    Hello! I just installed FCS HD on my MacBook Pro and I want to free up some space on my internal HD. I only have about 8GB left and still want to install protools, etc. So, I was wondering how I can move some of the space hogging extras (loops for soundtrack for instance) to my external G-SATA drive? I'm new to the apple world so I'm a bit clueless as to what I can move and how. Thanks for your time. Derek

  • Disappearing loops

    Hi everyone.
    I just bought a 15inch Macbook Pro and I've been having issues with the loops in Garageband.
    Let me take you through everything I have done.
    I got my Macbook home and I my old Mac mini to transfer its data onto my new Macbook Pro. My Mac mini was running iLife 06 very well.
    After the transfer had finished, and I started running Mac OS X for the first time on the laptop, I firstly updated the software, using "Software Updater". This included an update for Garageband.
    I open Garageband for the first time, and find that half of the loops are shaded grey, and won't playback. These are loops that I know exist because I used them on the previous version.
    I did some investigating and found the "Audio Loops" folder, "Library" -> "Audio". I discovered that there were two types of file in the folder; .aif and .caf.
    Half of the loops are just the .aif files. These are the loops that are coming up grey in Garageband.
    The other half of the loops have two copies of themselves, one .aif, the other .caf.
    I've tried to find a way to reinstall Garageband, but the Install Disc won't let me reinstall Garageband for some reason.
    How can I sort it out so that I can get these loops working in Garageband again.

    First of all: you shouldn't switch to a new computer by copying the files over by hand - you'll miss essential stuff that is in the Library folders. That's what the Migration Assistant is for.
    You can copy the Loops folder(s) over to your new system. If you have duplicate loops, keep the .caf version. After cleaning up, drag the folder(s) onto GB's Loop Browser, that should make those loops available in GB.

  • Loops stored in 2 different places?

    I've found that some loops are stored in Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops (these are Apple Loops for GarageBand Jam Pack, and Jam Pack 3) ... and some loops got stored in Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple (these are Apple Loops for GarageBand, iLife Sound Effects, Jam Pack 4 - Symphony Orchestra, and Jam Pack World Music).
    The organizing side of me wants to have them all in one place. My question is: does it matter? If I wanted to move them all into one place, which place would be better? Or should I just leave it the **** alone?

    If you want to continue using the loops, then you need to leave them where they are. When you install Apple Loops from GarageBand or any Jam Pack, you may notice that your loops don't all reside in the same location. Not only that, loop locations may vary from system to system, depending on what version—or versions—of GarageBand you've installed. GarageBand 2 stores loop content in a different default location than earlier versions. If you have one or more Jam Packs installed, each package stores its loop content in a different location as well.
    GarageBand 1 installs its loop content in:
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/Apple Loops for GarageBand
    Jam Packs 1, 2, and 3 install loops in their own named folders in:
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/
    GarageBand 2 and Logic Pro/Express 7.1 install their loops in:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand
    Jam Pack 4 installs its loops in its own named folder in:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/
    Depending on what version of GarageBand or Logic you're using, and if you've had different versions installed on your computer, loop locations may differ as follows:
    Scenario 1:
    If GarageBand 2 is the first version ever installed on your computer, all GarageBand loop content will be at the GarageBand 2 default location, as described above.
    Scenario 2:
    If GarageBand 1 is the only version ever installed on your computer (you haven't upgraded to 2.0) all loop content will be at the GarageBand 1 default location, as described above.
    Scenario 3:
    If you upgraded to Garageband 2 from an earlier version, all new loops introduced in the later version will be installed in the GarageBand 2 default location. All other loops common to both versions will remain at the default loop location for GarageBand 1. In other words, the software installer will detect the earlier installation and will only install the new content to the new location, leaving the old content where it has always been.
    All Jam Pack loop content is always installed at each package's default location, as described above. It doesn't matter which software version you're using; Jam Pack loops will always remain at their original location.
    If you install any third-party loops, the content should install in its own folder within the default location for the current version of GarageBand or Logic that you're using. In other words, if you installed third-party loops while using GarageBand 1 and then upgrade to version 2, these loops should still reside within their own named folders in:
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/
    However, if the content was installed after upgrading to GarageBand 2 the loops should be in their own named folders in:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/
    All user-created loops in GarageBand 2 will be placed at either:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops
    Or
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops
    The tilde (~) represents your home folder. Whether they go into the home folder path or the system path depends on the "My Apple Loops" preference you have set in the Export pane of GarageBand preferences.

  • Apple loops download doesn't work?

    Just upgraded to a new iMac and noticed many of the standard Apple loops are greyed out. When I double-click one, I get:
    "The Software Instrument or Apple Loop selected is not currently installed on your computer. Would you like to install the complete set of Garageband instruments and loops?"
    Selecting "Download Now" and clicking "OK" causes Software Update to launch, but the latter tells me everything is up to date and it quits.
    If I later go back and click on the missing loop again, I get:
    "The Software Instrument or Apple Loop selected is currently being installed. You have already initiated the installation of additional content for GarageBand via Software Update. For additional information please open the 'Software Update' application."
    Nothing is, of course, happening with Software Update. It quit thinking there was nothing to do, and opening it again will only result in the same message that everything is up to date. I can't figure out what to try next. Any suggestions?

    I just went through this about five minutes ago; I'm running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, with iLife 11.  My system was upgraded to both of these (I think it came with OS X 10.5 and iLife 9).  The extra loops don't seem to be on either DVD, however if you reinstall the default loops package, that seems to kick things into gear.
    No matter if I selected Download now or Download later, the loops refused to show up in Software Update.
    Here is what worked for me:
    Quit GarageBand
    Insert the iLife 11 CD
    Right-click on the "Install iLife" icon, and choose "Show Original"
    Run the GarageBand_Loops.pkg package.  Go through the installation, once that's done:
    Open GarageBand
    I then opened a song I'd made with loops.
    Click on one of the missing loops. (Yes, they're still missing, but that's ok now)
    Select Download Later.
    Quit GarageBand
    Run Software Update
    The 1.2GB "GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops" update showed up!  Finally!
    Let Software Update install it.
    I just did this five minutes ago (May 20, 2011)
    I just opened my song in GarageBand and all the loops that were missing are there now!  Success!

  • Loops and Instruments still greyed out after purchase.

    I paid for the extra loops and instruments on my iPad mini quite a few months ago. I just got a new mac and have tried everything to unlock them on here but nothing is working. It says they are in my purchases list but it just says GarageBand has been installed and won't let me do anything else. I've tried restoring the purchases but it says it can't do it. Not sure what to do now.

    I paid for the extra loops and instruments on my iPad mini
    The extra loops for Garageband on the iPad are a different purchase than the extra loops and instruments for GarageBand on the Mac.  If you want the additional content on the Mac as well, you have to purchase it also on the Mac.  Have you done that?

  • 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.
    http://prntscr.com/1xwqty
    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.

  • Loops missing and not downloading

    I upgraded to GB'11 via the app store.  Some of the loops are there, but not all of them.  When I click on the "ghosted" loops I get a dialogue that says "the software instrument or Apple loop selected is currently being installed."  How long does it take to download the loop?  That dialogue has been popping up for about 30mins now. 
    I'm on a MBP with plenty of harddrive space.

    Same here! This is making me go crazy. Read someweare that i just had to delete garageband and reinstall it from the apple store. Well that forced me to pay one extra time for the application. (Garabeband was preinstalled with my MacBook Pro) But still it does not download the extra loops.
