Garageband Loop Download Problem

I'm using GB 4.1, and when I go to select a loop, a dialog box pops up and asks if I want to install the complete set of loops at 1.2 GB, and gives me three options: Download Now, Download Later, or Install from DVD.
If I select Download Now, Software Update comes up and searches for an install. It never does find one and says all my software has its updates. Then that's it, no prompts or questions or anything on the progress of the install.
If I select Download Later, the claim is that Software Update will look for this download upon opening SU the next time. Well, I open Software Update, and yep, no prompts, or anything to signify that an update was coming.
I haven't selected Install from DVD, because I don't know if that means my install discs or one of those pay-for packs' DVDs.
So is this a major bug, or is there some fine print that states that in order to download this, that I need to pay an amount?
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Here is what worked for me.
Setup: My iMac came with 10.4x installed and included a 10.5 dvd, I installed 10.5
Problem: Garage Band will not find the loops on 10.4x Disk #2
I have fink installed along with Midnight Commander "mc"
I used midnight commander to locate the package on Disk 2 and copied it to my desktop.
On my desktop I right clicked on the package and selected Show Package Contents. I located the package with tiger loops and simply double clicked and installed them.

Those free .Mac GarageBand Loop downloads:

I am gathering songs and sounds for my iMovies. Regarding those free .Mac GarageBand Loop downloads: Are those sounds only for GarageBand, or if I download them, will they go into iTunes so that they are accessible for importing into an iMovie? Please excuse my ignorance on this topic. I am almost expecting someone to write and say that GarageBand loops are not playable in an iMovie for one or another reason.
Again, I am posting here bc .Mac does not allow a space for sending such questions within a .Mac framework!

Hi Lorna:
With iMovie 4 or 5, you can 'compose' songs from
those loops in GrageBand and then save to itunes for
imovie. But the loops themselves are for GarageBand
only.

Aw, that's what I figured — that as a Garage Band freebie, it was meant for work within Garage Band to work with Garage Band software. Oh well.... 8-(

"Infinite Loop" Download Problem

So I was downloading an album from iTunes, and one of the songs wouldn't download. When it reached the end of the bar, it would just reset, in an infinite loop. And the song is Album Only, so I can't just cancel the download and buy the song again. How do I fix this?

Hi again,
I still have a similar problem.
basically whats happening is...
From the GUI I launch a class with an infinite loop !!
Part of the Loop is to await a connection and when connected, a new Class is again launched, it processes and closes itself, and returns back to the infinite loop !!
I would like to know how I can Detach from the infinite loop to keep the GUI working...
thanks all

Problem Downloading Extra GarageBand Loops

Just bought a new iMac and ran into a problem downloading the extra greyed out loops. The issue occurred because I upgraded GarageBand through Software Update before downloading the extra files. After the upgrade Software Update no longer gives you an opportunity to download the loops even though they are still greyed out in the loops window.
The solution was a re-install of GarageBand from CD, & avoiding software update until the extra files were downloaded.

I just ran into this and managed to solve it, but it was a pain. Here's my situation:
New iMac 27 inch
Used Migration Assistant to transfer all user accounts, user files, and applications off of an older (late 2006) iMac that had been upgraded to Snow Leopard and iLife '09
When trying to install the full set of Apple Loops and Software Instruments, I got the infamous "run Software Update but nothing ever downloads" problem. After doing a lot of looking on these boards and elsewhere, I decided to uninstall GarageBand '11 and reinstall. Uninstalling GarageBand '11 is a pain too; here's what I did:
Deleted GarageBand from the Applications folder
Deleted the /Library/Application Support/GarageBand folder
Deleted the /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand folder
Deleted anything related to GarageBand in /Library/Receipts
And everything in ~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand (this is optional I think)
I then reinstalled GarageBand from the second install disk that came with my new computer, fired up GarageBand, and downloaded the recommended update. Finally, I opened up a new Loops project; in the Loops Browser, selected one of the missing loops; got the "run Software Update now or later" dialog, and said "Later"; quit GarageBand. Finally, I opened Software Update, and lo and behold! the near-mythical GarageBand Loops and SW Instruments update was there, all 1.2 GB of it!
I wish that Apple would come out with a patch for this, but in the meantime, if you're situation is similar to mine (upgraded GarageBand '11), you might try the deinstall / reinstall route and see if it works...

Softwareupdate doenst load garageband loops

Hello, when i try to download the missing Garageband loops, the appstore update opens and nothing happens. Can someone help me please ?

Have you moved the GarageBand application from the Applications folder or renamed it? If yes, put it back into Applications, not into a subfolder.
Also, make sure you are using an administrator account, and disable all firewalls and antivirus software.
Sign into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to set up your Mac originally.
Reload the Software Update Pane in the AppStore using by pressing the ⌘R keys.

HT202873 I just purchased GB10 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message, "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again." I have tried EVERY suggestion!

Model Name: MacBook Pro
OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2

Processor Name: Intel Core i7

I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again." I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working! If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this. Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS. I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything.

Immargarita, Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store. They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store. I was not going home until it worked.
Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started. So... I qualified for tech support. I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed. Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work. I have the good old PS disc. I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support. Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store. BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor. The download stopped once. Then he continued it and everything is there now.
Shame on you Apple.
Hope this helps.

IPhone app store downloading problem

What's the trick? Can't delete loops from Garageband loop browser.

Am I missing something? I've tried to delete 3rd party loops directly from the Garageband loop browser, but could not. It wouldn't work in Garageband 08, and it won't work in '09.
These loops were all added to the library by drag and drop into the loops browser.
Is there something I need to do with file permissions?

I think you can only delete loops from the browser that you created yourself with GB.
Just delete the loops in the Finder and re-index everything.

Installed Jam Pack but see no new loops in Garageband loop browser. Why not?

I successfully installed Jam Pack but don't see new loops in Garageband loop browser. Is there some extra step I'm supposed to do? Before, I had about 57 Rock/Blues loops, and I still have just that. I had 14 instruments under All Drums, and guess what? Still only 14.
I know the install completed successfully - it said so, anyway.
Clues?

Have you filters set on the Loop Browser? Make sure the GarageBand Preference "Loops > Keyword Browsing > Filter for more relevant content" is off. Otherwise you will see a fraction of the available loops.
To see, if the JamPack has been installed, set the pop-up meu at the top of the Loop Browser to "Rhythm Section". Is that available?
Did you reindex your Loops after installing the Jam Pack? And did you restart the Mac? In Mt. Lion only restarting a Mac will ensure, that an application is not resumed from a cache, when you launch it again.Restarting the Mac will terminate GarageBand for sure.
If restarting the Mac does not make the JamPack Loops show, rebuild the Loop index. See: Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand 6 or earlier - Apple Support

You don't need Adobe AIR to download or install Adobe Reader.
Try downloading the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I used a GarageBand loop in a video I made for youtube. I want to submit this video for revenue. First, is this legal? Second, youtube requires written permission to use songs, and provides a comment box for proof of permission. What do I put in this box?

Yes, you can use GarageBand loops for commercial purposes. Here's the Apple Doc:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2931
(Basically the only thing it excludes is to re-distribute the loops as loops.)
I don't know about the YouTube form, maybe you just fill in "Apple Loops", they certainly have come across this before.

I have been having downloading problems for the last few days and despite all the tricky advice. iTunes jut can't solve the problem.
These are some of the actions taken:-
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Turn off Anti Virus (didn't like that one!) Then uninstall anti virus!!!!!! No!!!
Change preferences in iTunes
Update iTunes...etc etc etc etc etc! ZIP!
Think I will go back to Big Pond Movies as is a lot easier and less stressful.
Do I Tunes think everyone has telescopic eyesight? The text is so small (just like all their printed matter) have to use a magnifying glass.
As you can detect, I am less than happy.

How to use garageband loops in final cut pro x

I have O/S 10.6.8
I have looked in the following for garageband loops, but see nothing.
1. Mac HD > Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Apple > Apple Loops for Garage Band,
2. Mac HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Apple Loops > Apple Loops for GarageBand,
and
3. Username > Library > Audio > Apple Loops > User Loops. (cannot see any files here)
I am wanting to access these Apple loops to use in Final Cut Pro X.
Do I need to 'unhide' these files

I appreciate your help. As you can guess, I am new to the Apple discussion groups.
I tried unhiding files with Terminal, but that did not appear to help in this situation
I did find an answer that suits me for the mean time.
First - (to see loops)
to see the Apple loops on my computer with Finder-
-1 open Finder
-2 Click on 'Go' icon at top of page
-3 This brings drop down box
-4 Click 'Go to Folder' and enter the following
       /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Garageband
Second - to get them into Final Cuty Pro X
Create new folder in     /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple
called                         Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro
Now copy all files from    'Apple Loops for Garageband'
                           to       'Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro'
By creating the folder 'Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro', it livens its existing link within Final Cut Pro X,
so when you are in Final cut and go to the 'Music and Sound' icon you can now see the folder has changed from gray to blue, and you can see any files you copied into it.
Cheers to all the help from others in trying to understand Finder.
