Do you mean "bought from AppStore"? After uninstalling you should have been able to download from the AppStore for free?
Anyway. GarageBand seems to have a problem to remember, that it has installed the additional contents. Perhaps it cannot write the Preferences file. HangTime's "oddball" fix may help:
After GarageBand has completed downloading and installing all of it's extras, remove the GarageBand preferences file and relaunch GarageBand. 
Go to the Finder's menu bar:
Select Go ->     and hold down the ⌥-key, until you see "Library" and double click it.
Open the folder : ~/Library/Preferences
Locate the com.apple.garageband.plist file
Move it to your desktop.
Relaunch GarageBand.
If still loops are missing, rebuild the loop index: Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand

  • I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY?

    I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY? I thought after sucessfully downloading the movie to ATV, it would be available for 30 days in my ATV, without having to download again. To my surprise, it tells me I have to download all over again. It took me 3 hours to download the movie, now I have to repeat the process? Can someone tell me why? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will delete content if it is used to plat something else or is turned off. It only has a limited amount of volatile memory.
    If you want to download something for watching at a later time, it would be best doing it from iTunes on your mac/PC and streaming it to the Apple TV when you are ready to watch it.

  • I have disabled all add ons and extensions to stop adverts but everytime I log into my pc the adverts appear again? not happy :(

    since I updated firefox I have been HOUNDED by adverts. I read an article that suggested disabling all add ons and extensions but they seem to enable themselves again after I open my pc! I am very careful and always tick and untick boxes when I am downloading updating anything to ensure this doesn't happen therefore these add ons seem to have been automatically added by firefox during the update. not cool! the amount of adverts and the fact I have never suffered from such a pop up invasion in my life is becoming EXTREMELY annoying how do i permanently stop these adverts?

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • I have synced my ipad version 6.0 with my iphone 4.3.5 on bluetooth, but don't understand how to start the sharing process between them.

    How can I use bluetooth to add photos from my i phone onto my ipad.
    They are both recognizing each other and discoverable.  Please explain what I can do with this bluetooth connection between them.
    I remember that when my macbook tiger was new, a friend bluetoothed programs from his apple to mine.  Why can't I get my iphone to share photos for example with my new i-pad?  thanks for any assistance or enlightenment.

  • I have the wordfeud app but everytime I open it it's jumping straight to the App Store why is this happening?

    I have the wordfeud app but everytime I open it it justs diverts to App Store so annoying can you help thanks

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • I clicked the iCloud symbol in the top right corner of a tv show's artwork and it began to download the duplicate of that episode. I deleted the duplicated episode but everytime a open iTunes it begins to automatically download again. Help

    It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
    But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries).

  • I have an active subscription but everytime I open the program it says trial expired.  I have installed, reinstalled, and installed again.  I have also installed the windows registry patch.

    I have an active subscription but everytime I open the program it says trial expired.  I have installed, reinstalled, and installed again.  I have also installed the windows registry patch.
    It wouldn't install for nearly 5 times I tried to do this.  Now it's finally installed again but it won't budge past the trial version.  I click BUY NOW but then it says "error you already have a subscription" then it times out and just stays on the Trial Expired page.

    Hey kushlar,
    Please log out from your Adobe application and login again.
    Once you launch Acrobat and get error saying trial expired, you will find an option saying 'license this software'.
    Select this option and enter your credentials.
    Now check and let me know.

    I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
    open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
    restart and PRAM reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    restart boot camp assistant
    Does it work?
    If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

    Hi,
    Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

    Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
    You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
    Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

    I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
