I can't rebuild my loop index!

Whilst using Garageband v4.1.2, I clicked on a loop to use it and and got a message saying that the loop couldn't be located and would I like to reindex the loop library. I clicked on Ok to reindex it, and then there were no loops at all in the library!!
So I've looked up an article on how to rebuild the index. I closed Garageband, deleted the existing search index files, reopened Garageband. Then located the folder with the loops on and dragged it over the loop library area in Garageband. Garageband responded with a message saying that the index was being rebuilt, but there's still nothing in there? Have repeated process a few times. I've noticed that no new search index files have appeared in the 'Apple Loops Index' folder.
Help! What am I doing wrong?!

  • UUT loop index - how?

    Can I monitor UUT loop index in WatchExpression while running my sequence?
    Simply put, I want to see how many UUTs I already did.
    Thank you,
    fomine
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello fomine,
    "runstate.root" is a reference of ProcessModel. With this reference, it is possible to access all variables of ProcessModel (Locals, Parameters, FileGlobal, ...).
    To know these variables, open your ProcessModel.
    To have a counter of UUts passed or failed, I think it is necessary to modify the ProcessModel.
    For information, steps to add your counter :
    - add a local variable "PassedCounter" in the sequence "Test UUTs" in the ProcessModel ("SequentialModel.seq" by default -> create a copy)
    - incremente this variable after each iteration if test is passed :
        - add an "Statements" step after the step "PostUUT Callback"
        - add this precondition : "RunState.Sequence.Main["MainSequence Callback"].Result.Status=="Passed"
        - in the expression field, incremente your new local variable (Locals.PassedCounter++)
    you can see your counter like "UUTLoopIndex", with the expression "Runstate.Root.Locals.PassedCounter"

  • Apple loop index is empty folder!!! Can not find loop in logic browser because they just no longer exist on my hard drive, what would be the new appropriate step to take?

    Apple loop index folder is empty from the hard drive, which may explain why i can not find loop in my logic pro browser, just sort of grey in disaabled format. what would be the next appropriate steps to take??? I do have an external back up disk.

    The IDE interface that the iBook and your desktop use are the same, just a different plug size. So with the rite adapter you could put the iBooks drive in your desktop, you could even boot off it too.
    If you want to install the laptops HD in your desktop this will do it for you. Or you can use the iBooks HD as an external hard drive with this

  • Can I relocate the Apple Loops & Index folder to another drive?

    There's like 10GB of Apple Loops on my boot drive. I would LOVE to move all of that stuff off to a data drive. Is there a PLIST file or something that tells SoundtrackPro, etc where this treasure-trove of stuff is located - or is it hardwired to be in the Library folder on the boot drive?

    Hello,
    Loops reside in a few files.
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops (if you installed any thiord party guys)
    The index files are here:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    To move the loops to an external drive:
    1. Move all of the loops from the Apple Loops folders above and move them to the external drive.
    2. Delete all of the Index files.
    3. Use the Loop Browser to reindex the loops from the new drive.
    Be sure to drag the loops as individual folders (in other words if you store them in a folder called loops and then have groups of loops under that) if you don't, you will have one large group instead of several smaller ones. It makes it easier to find what you want.

  • Loops index

    I installed Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro but the loops do not appear in the loops browser in Logic. The search index.txt file is missing from the Apple Loops Index folder. How can I fix this problem?

    found the solution, simply drag the folder onto the loops browser, that indexes the loops!

  • Loop Browser - Removing files/folders not indexed in the Apple Loops Index

    Hi...
    I experimented with dragging in a SFX folder to the Logic Pro Loop Browser window. It asked me if I wanted to copy files to the Apple Loops folder or reference the original files, and I selected reference the originasl files.
    The SFX files were then listed under the OTHER area of the View menu.
    Question... HOW do I remove these SFX files/folder from the OTHER view menu?
    I have tried deleting all of the Apple Loop Index files and that did not work.
    I have tried deleting the actual SFX files/folders, and after they disappear, but when I restore the SFX files/folders to their source location they reappear in the logic browser view menu.
    Is there some where else Logic stores Loop Browser reference data which can be deleted to remove these OTHER files/folders from the Loop Browser view menu?
    Thanks

    Success...
    OK I found the solution.
    1) I deleted the SFX audio files from the referenced HDD source location.
    2) I opened Logic and re-index the Loop Browser.
    3) I quit Logic and copied the SFX files back to the HDD.
    When I opened Logic this time, the SFX files/folders referenced under the OTHER menu were gone.
    Because I have a huge production music & SFX library, the best way to audition these sources for use in a Logic project, is to audition in iTunes and then just drag whatever I need right from within itunes into the Logic project.
    That keeps my Logic loop browser more manageable and focused on composing.

  • Error on start: Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index

    I get the error "Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    Without this directory you can not use the LoopBrowser. Please make sure this directory exists" when starting Garage Band. I also cannot use the onscreen keyboard, or musical typing in GarageBand. All other sounds work fine.
    The only thing that changed since I last used GB was that I installed Leopard. (and that was a while ago, so I thought all was well and got rid of my last Tiger backup. )
    Any suggestions?

  • Tempo column missing in Loops index

    I have GB 6.0 in my MB Pro and was wondering why in the Loops index the Tempo column no longer is shown. Name, Beats and Fav are there, but not Tempo. Is there a way to get it back in? (I ask because even tho one can control tempo, it's good to know what the original was.)
    Thanks!

  • Change Loops Index location

    At home, I keep a lot of loops on an external HD (connected to a serving computer). Now I'm traveling and don't have that volume available. I wanted to add some loops, dragged them into the Loop Browser. GB said "indexing …", and my computer tried to connect to that remote volume. So I take it that my Loops Index is on that remote volume (which is probably a bad idea).
    I had to force quit GB, and when I re-opened it, it said it had no loops at all (before it had the local GB loops). Fine, I thought, so I can index from scratch, and dragged all my loops into GB, but it still tried to find that volume. Force quit again and trashed the prefs files, but no change.
    My local Loops Index folder is empty, in the user directory as well as in the main Library. So - how can I tell GB just to create a local Loops Index??

    Okay, somehow it worked at the second try - maybe I was impatient before and shouldn't have force quit the app. Trashed all the index files it had created in the last half hour and started again. And there it was, funnily enough with all the loops already installed!

  • Error while rebuilding a text index

    I am on Oracle 10.2.0.3 and HP UNIX 11i. I am rebuilding a text index (textidx1) online
    using:
    Alter index rebuild textidx1;
    If I do a query so index is used, I get:
    ORA-29861: domain index is marked LOADING/FAILED/UNUSABLE
    Error goes away after index is completely rebuilt.
    Since I am rebuilding index online, this error should not occur, otherwise what
    Is the purpose of on line index rebuild? Can someone explain how to get rid
    Of the error. I cannot stop my application while rebuilding text indexes.

    With text indexes if one adds the workd online:
    alter index X_TEXT_OBJECT_VALUE rebuild online
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29874: warning in the execution of ODCIINDEXALTER routine
    ORA-29960: line 1,

  • When rebuild table and index

    Hi,
    how to know if for a table we should rebuild table and index ?
    Many thanks.

    Safi, I would be less sure than that. There were many many very long threads in database general forum about that subject. If you observed that fact once, that is not very often the case.
    @OP,
    Assuming the question was not about performance, but more on AppDesigner side (because of rebuild table), what I can say is :
    1. Peoplesoft store all the storage definition for all the objects in its own metamodel tables
    2. when you are changing field definition (column's definition) or indexes definition, the new definition is stored in the Peoplesoft metamodel tables
    3. On the table/index build, AppDesigner compare the Peoplesoft metamodel definition for that particular object with in the Oracle (or what ever else database you are using) definition of that same object.
    4. If the defintions reported on step 3 are different, then AppDesigner will fill a file with all the (re)build statements of the objects you are rebuilding (and different).
    5. Finally, you just have to run the generated script.
    Of course, you can bypass the comparison by enforcing AppDesigner the (re)build the record/index in all cases, however, it is not always (do not say never) recommanded.
    Now, when you have to rebuild table (or record in AppDesigner's word) or indexes ? Basically, by the previous explanation I gave above, you could understand this is when you are changing a field/table/index definition through AppDesigner.
    Nicolas.

  • Automated Delete and Rebuild of BIA Indexes

    We have several cubes that we will be loading into BIA that use non-cumulative key figures.  We have heard that it is necessary to periodically rebuild these indexes to keep the BIA performance high.  My question is how do we automate this process?  I don't see a process chain step or program for deleting an index. 
    There is program RSDDTREX_AGGREGATES_FILL, but will this rebuild an index if it already exists?

    Hi
    Deleting and rebuilding the Cube indexes will improve the the loading performance.
    It is very much required for for Full loads and Big loads.
    When it comes to Delta loads or Small loads, then it depends upon the volume of data you are going to get.
    Say like you are getting below 10000 records in daily delta's, then i think no need to delete and rebuild indexes.
    If you know that you will get more than1 lack records, then it's good to go for deletion and rebuild of indexes.
    Example : I load an Infocube once by week in full upload (3 millions of records) after deleting all the content of the previous week. Is it a good idea to add steps of deleting/rebuilding indexes in this case ?
    In this case, it is required.
    Note: 1) If you want you can test in your development system, run the same load first time by deleting indexes and second time without deleting the indexes. you will come to know the time difference.
    2) Anyhow deletion and rebuilding of indexes step will take less than 2 or 3 mins time unless if you have huge volume of uncomressed data in your cube.

    Venkatesh.

  • Rebuilding Databases for indexing

    Hi,
    The question below is on rebuilding databases.
    I have the intermedia to index xml documents .The encoding of the xml documents is UTF-8.
    The Oracle database has a character set as "WE8ISO8859P1".
    The tokens do not get indexed for 2-byte characters like i, g, etc.
    Oracle support has suggested that the Database itself be rebuilt as UTF-8 to enable the encoding.
    Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to rebuild the database Iam working on, without affecting the other applications running on ORACLE. Note that my application has a seperate schema.
    In other words, can the rebuilding to UTF-8 be done on Database level for a specific schema or does it have to be universal.
    Thanks
    Syed

    It is entirely your choice is you want to use one schema or multiple schemas, personally I prefer using multiple schemas as it makes life easier for recovery and problem solving.
    Cheers

    Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index  st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser.  Then I get this message...
    Instrument Library Invalid
    GarageBand Ecpects a valid instrument foledr in /Libraty/Application Support/GarageBand
    Please choose a valid instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GB
    Any solutions?

    Is this a new installation of GarageBand or has it worked before on the same computer?
    Or have you transferrred your GarageBand from a different computer?
    The error message is saying, that your GarageBand installation is incomplete. There are essential foldrs missing in your system library. 
    Check, if indeed both folders are missing or if only the permissions are set incorrectly.
    Your system library (the folder "System" directly on your system drive) should have the following folders inside the folder "Audio", and they need to be readable by the system and by administrators.
    And in the folder /Library/Application Support there should be the Instrument Library.
    If these folders do not exist (or no longer exist), restore them from your backup-  If your GarageBand version is a new installation, the application may not hve been downloaded or installed completely, then reinstall GarageBand.
    What is your GarageBAnd version, and how did you install it originally?
