How can I re-index the instrument library?

I've got a few instruments playing just fine in GarageBand, but only as tones in Logic. I suspect that if I re-indexed the library it might solve the problem. But for the life of me I can't remember how to index the libraries in Logic.
All instruments have been installed on the operating system hard drive. I haven't moved a single thing since installation. Only a few instruments are showing up as tones - but they DO play in GarageBand.
All ears...

(It's improbable, but I think Pancenter may have misread you & thinks you are in GarageBand; but perhaps I am wrong & it is I who has misunderstood. Or, more likely, he does understand that you are in Logic, & is saying that if you were to use GarageBand then you would be using mini-EXS… although if so, you had of course said the same thing yourself, earlier on.)
Anyway: I take it you mean that you are in Logic, but are selecting sounds from the 'Garageband' sub-menu.
+"There is no obvious evidence that it is being played through the EXS."+ If you look at the Track icon in the Arrange window it will tell you that this is so, & the Channel Strip to the left will have a plug-in insert marked "EXS24". So that's how you can check. Double-clicking on that plug-in is also a quick way to open your Software Instrument of choice so that you can access all the available sounds directly (& edit them if required).
+"Who knows what is actually playing the instrument when I go direct through the I/O to 'Garageband'."+
You do, by looking at the name of the insert!

  • How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

    How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

    Regarding not being able to open iPhoto.  As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
    If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can multiple computers have the same library?

    My family has one iTunes account, but our iTunes library is different on every computer. Our iPods are each synced with a different computer. How can we have one library with all of our purchases together? We use the same account, so it doesn't make sense that the music purchased on my laptop won't show up on our home desktop. Each of our iPods are synced to a different computer.

    No.
    Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • How can I slim down the aperture library?

    Hi,
    My aperture library grew a lot. Is there any way to slimmed it down, without erasing content? I am talking about recreating previews with less quality or smaller size, deleting old thumbnails (I read that even if you delete a picture from the library, Aperture won't delete the thumbnail).
    Does anybody knows any tricks about how to do that?
    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Easy. Switch to Referenced-Masters Library with Masters on external drives.
    More complete explanation:
    First make a Vault to an external drive as backup.
    Then from within Aperture:
    File Menu--> Relocate Masters. Choose external hard drive(s) and direct Aperture to move the Masters to those drives. Give it plenty of time depending on how many Masters are being moved. The Library remains on an internal drive, only the Masters get moved.
    Next back up the  drive that the Masters were relocated to, because now you have a Referenced Masters Library so Masters are backed up (once) separately from the Library Vault backups.
    In the future back up originals (once) on external drives prior to import into Aperture or any other images app. I cannot overstate how important that is, and various manuals, texts, etc. present workflows that skip that critical step. Also back up the Aperture Library using Aperture's Vaults, which are designed for that purpose.
    A complete Referenced-Masters workflow follows. Note that for image security reasons Aperture is not involved until the end of the process:
    • Create a folder ("abc") for the incoming images. Easiest is to create the folder on the external hard drive where the Masters will permanently live, but Referenced Masters can be temporarily on the laptop's internal drive, then moved later as described above. I initially put Masters referenced on my MBP internal drive, then after backup and editing I use File Menu--> Relocate Masters to move the Masters to a permanent external drive location.
    • Connect a card reader with the camera card in it. The camera card should show on the desktop. If it does not show, restart the Mac with the reader and card still plugged in. You can of course use the camera directly in this step, but I do not recommend it. Obviously cameras like the iPad2 do require direct camera-to-computer uploading.
    • Drag the contents of the card's image folder(s) to the abc folder that you previously created on the hard drive.
    • Review the abc folder contents to be sure they all copied properly.
    • Software-eject the camera card.
    • Physically disconnect the camera card reader from the Mac. This step is important to help avoid all-too-common human error.
    • Again review the abc folder contents to be sure they are indeed all there (because stuff happens sometimes...).
    • Back up the abc folder contents on to another drive.
    • Review the files on the backup to be sure they all copied properly.
    • At any time after but not before the previous step you can reformat the camera card in-camera. Do not delete images on the card using the computer.
    • Start Aperture.
    • Import the images from folder abc into Aperture, selecting "Store Files: In their current location" on the right-hand side of the import window (important!). Note that the Library remains on an internal drive, only the Masters are on externals.

    jicmp in java.library.path.
    can anyone tell me how to
    do System.out.println and the path???System.getProperty() will retrieve the Java-defined system properties. You can use the following code to determine the available values:
    public static void main( String [] args ) {
    java.util.Properties p = System.getProperties();
    java.util.Enumeration keys = p.keys();
    while( keys.hasMoreElements() ) {
    System.out.println( keys.nextElement() );

  • How can I see in the itunes library what music has been added to my ipod touch?

    I have got a large library of music in itunes and have added some albums to my new ipod touch.
    I want to put some more music on the touch, but I don't know what I have added so far. Is their some easy way of seeing or finding out?
    Thanks

    Why not use AAC instead of Apple lossless?
    I can't accept the loss of quality. It's something of an affliction, I know , but I'd be aware that the quality was less than maximum. Besides I frequently plug it into one of my very nice stereo systems, where I'd be more likely to notice.
    But no idea about a web page listing your library.
    This script -> Make A Text List, will "write an alphabetical list of your choice of the Albums, Artists, Composers, Genres, or Song Names in iTunes to a text file."
    Whether it's a text file or HTML, can I search it or at least view if when I'm in music store? That I think is the real challenge here.

  • How can I reset/change the account/library on my Apple TV 2?

    Any ideas on how to reset/change the account to that I can connect my iPad2/Macbook Pro???
    Thanks!

    Perfect it worked thanks so much!!
    Any chance that you would know how to mirror what's on your iPad/Macbook through Apple TV so that the image on your iPad is displayed on your TV??

  • How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • How do I back up my entire iphoto library to an external hard drive that I have dedicated for photos only?  Can I simply drag the iphoto library onto my seagate (hard drive) icon?

    How do I back up my entire iphoto library on to an external hard drive that will be my second back up plan.  I already have one back up that is also synched with time machine.  But now I want to back up my iphoto library to a new hard drive to have a second copy. Can I simply drag the whole library onto the icon on my desk top?  THX

    WHile you can do it that way, the next time you back up you'll end up copying the entire library again, and,as you'l see, once a library gets bigger that can take a considerable amount of time.
    Try using an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
