GarageBand Loops Projects Missing

I have a MacBook Air, trying to creat some loops using GarageBand, but I couldn't find Loops projects. Thanks
My GarageBand looks different than others
Here is a image I found on Google

Hey VectorC,
Thanks for the question. This is expected behavior, as you have a more recent version of GarageBand (you’ll notice that all of the options are different, not just Loops). Here are some screenshots from the latest version of GarageBand:

And here is how you can access Loops in the new version:

Thanks,

Garageband Loops Still Missing!

I just got a brand new iMac. I go into Garageband and all the loops are missing! So i go to support and i follow the steps and find 501 sound clips. I import them all one by one, but still about 3/5th's of the loops are still not there. They have there names but the letters are gray and when i click it it says the loop isn't currently installed on this computer. It says to do a software update by I'm fully updated. What the heck do I do?!

most of the buttons in the loops area are still dimmed

Most Garageband Loops are missing, but I can find them in finder. Garageband keeps trying to download them from Software Update, but everything's up to date! HELP!

I open up Garageband
I look at the loops
Most are greyed out
I did a spotlight search, and found that they are, in fact, installed on my computer.
How can I get Garageband to see that they're installed?

Hello, can I still play Garageband 9 projects/loops in Garageband 10, and how? Thank you

Hello,
Can I still play GarageBand 9 projects/loops in GarageBand 10, and how?
Do I need to re-install iLife11 to be able to play GarageBand 9 projects/loops in 11?
Thanks in advance

GarageBand 10 needs the loops and instruments from Garageband ´09 or ´11 installed to be able to play the older projects with all sounds. Otherwise instruments and loops may be missing. If you uninstalled GarageBand completely, reinstall iLife '11 to be able to use the older instruments and loops in GarageBand 10. before you install GarageBand 10.0.
GarageBand 10. comes only with a basic set of instruments and needs to be expanded by an in-app purchase. If you have GarageBAnd '11 installed, you should be able to get the in-app purchase for free. Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase

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...

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.

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.

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

Garageband loops not showing in FCPX's Sound Browser

Help plz. My Garageband loops are not showing in FCPX's Sound Browser.. Although they are there on the hard disk... Thanks

This is the path for Mavericks, but I think it's the same for Mt Lion. Is that where they are for you?

Garage Band Loops are missing.

I went to the Apple store to have iLife 09 installed onto my computer, but when I opened up Garage Band, almost all of the loops were missing. How do I go about getting them back?

they are greyed out, and when i click on them, it says install the update. but when i did that, there was no update to be had. plus, this is the 09 version, where as my re-install disc is the 08 version.

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.

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.

Is it legal to use GarageBand loops in a radio show?

I'm wondering if it is legal for me to use GarageBand loops as short jingles in a radio show. For instance, something like this:
"Thanks Sylvia for your call. Tell us what's on your mind by dialling 8888 8888 or send an email to [email protected]" *Tennessee Twister Short plays* "It's 22 to 9. How are you John?"
They would be used standalone to make a short break between parts of the show.

Garageband 10 project compatability?

Hello
I'm an aspiring musician, and I use Garageband(6.0.5) a lot for my production work as it is simple and really effective.
I do this on my Macbook Pro.
However, I shift my work to my studio for further mixdown, which uses Logic 9.
I've been considering the update to Garageband v10 for a while now, but I'm concerned about the project files opening in Logic 9.
Ive had no issues so far. My .band files now open seemlessly in Logic, and I'm able to complete my work.
Will I be able to even after the update to v10?
Or will it require an update to Logic X as well?
Thanks and cheers

A GarageBand 6.0.5 Project can be opened in Logic 9 and Logic Pro X
A GarageBand X Project can only be opened in Logic Pro X. Logic 9 doesn't understand the new Project file and you will get an error message. As you can see by the text of the error message, L9 doesn't even know that this is a GarageBand file. It thinks that the file is a Logic file.
Opening a GarageBand X Project in Logic Pro X is no problem, because GarageBand X is basically just a light version of Logic Pro X. If you need any help with learning either GarageBand or LPX, I have written graphically enhanced manuals for both apps "GarageBand X - How it Works" and "Logic Pro X - How it Works", both are also available as interactive multi-touch iBooks on the iBooks Store.
Using both GarageBand and Logic is now very easy, because Logic has a special mode where you can disable features which makes it easy to transition from GBX to LPX. It even adds the wooden sidebars in Logic to make the GarageBand user feel more at home.
Hope that helps
