Loops Won't Download, Less Instruments Than Before?

I used to own an iMac, but thought I'd rather have a MacBook, so I switched. My old iMac had GarageBand 3 on it, and I loved it. All the loops and instruments came with the program, and I was very happy with it. However, when I got my MacBook which came loaded with iLife '08, I found that I needed to download loops separately, so I clicked the button to download the loops, and it takes me to Software Update where I was supposed to see at least something about GarageBand, but alas I did not. Another thing is that I'm missing quite a few of the synths and drum kits I used frequently on my iMac. Could someone help me out?

  • GarageBand: missing software instruments & loops won't download

    Hi,
    Recently I've bought a 15' MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.3 installed on it(and I've updated it to version 10.8.4) and tried to download [missing software
    instruments and loops] for GarageBand, but that update for the additional GarageBand contents couldn't be found on App Store's update page even after trying
    several times. Does anybody have a solution or similar experience? Answers would be greatly appreciated!

    I recently had the same problem when I upgraded to Garageband '11.  There are many posts and answers about this issue on the forum, but the one that worked for me was also the simplest solution.  When you get to the Updates window on the App Store and it says it doesn't find any updates, hit ⌘-R to reload.  When I did that, the additional instruments and loops download appeared in the Updates window and I was able to download them.
    If that doesn't work for you, search this forum.  There are many more possible solutions.  Good luck!

  • Hi I got iPhone 4 been getting apps today went to get an app and won't let me even free ones have to sign in then sign in again for billing info it's all correct but still won't download apps had problem before fixed it but won't work again

    iPhone has previously downloaded apps but go to do today and won't keeps asking for billing info which is in there and correct but then says plz update you payment there is a billing problem with your previous purchase it's done before to me so reset and erased everything and worked did that Again and still doesn't work  info is all correct have to re enter Ccv number still doesn't work driving me nuts I want my apps

    If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
    If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

  • After using the minidisplay port to connect to a projector, my computer screen displays images with less resolution than before.  How do I get back the usual sharp resolution?

    After using the minidisplay port to connect to a projector, my computer screen does not have the usual sharp resolution.  How do I get back that sharp resolution?  The computer screen images are now a bit blurry.

    Do you mean after the projector is disconnected? It should change back to normal after disconnecting. If it does not, go to System Preferences > Displays and move the resolution setting back to the largest number.

  • Why when I update Adobe it won't load any higher than 25 or 30%?

    Anytime I try to upload the new Adobe Flash Player Update, the installer won't download any further than 25% or 30% through.
    And this annoys me a lot because now it is impossible for me to view any videos, and I think I may not have access to some certain web sites anymore because of that (e.g.: my school's portal).
    This gets me very angry
    I just want to get it fixed.
    P.S.: I am a MacBook user, I do not know if that influences anything, but it may...
    So please help!!!

    Hello,
    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
    Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.

    The loops won't don't download as well as certain instruments.  Any help?

    This is the WMP plugin: np-mswmp , so you have it.
    You may be missing a codec to play that content or some extension or security software is blocking that content.

  • GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops

    Hola,
    I have GarageBand '11, running on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. The Apple loops have lots of greyed-out loops that need downloading. I click to activate one, it tells me I must download the loop now or later. I click Now, it goes to Software Update which tells me there is nothing left to download because I am completely up to date. I restart GarageBand, and still the loops are missing.
    It's very frustrating!
    In my Software Update download history it says the loops have already been downloaded, yet GarageBand still can't see them.
    Anybody got any idea what to do?
    Thanks,
    Graham

    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...

    The Firefox icon is the default feature for Windows Vista and 7 only, it does not apply to Windows XP users.
    To have the Firefox icon instead of the Menu Bar:
    View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the Menu Bar.
    After that, click on the Firefox icon and you'll have the Menu Bar appear again.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    The question is no longer if, but when you'll move your backup-and-recovery storage to the cloud.
    As a genius IT pro, you know you can't afford to ignore cloud as a solution for your backup-and-recovery woes: exponential data growth, runaway costs, legacy systems that can't keep pace. Public or private clouds offer near-infinite scalability, deliver dramatic cost reductions and promise the unparalleled efficiency you need to compete in today's 24/7/365 marketplace.
    Moreover, an ESG study found that backup and archive rank first among workloads enterprises are moving to the cloud.
    Okay, fine. But as a prudent IT strategist, you demand airtight security and complete control over your data as well. Good thinking.
    Hybrid Cloud Strategies Are the Future
    Enterprises, large and small, are searching for the right blend of availability, security, and efficiency. The answer lies in achieving the perfect balance of on-premises, private cloud, and public services to match IT and business requirements.
    To realize the full benefits of a hybrid cloud strategy for backup and recovery operations, you need to manage the dynamic nature of the environment— seamlessly connecting public and private clouds—so you can move your data where and when you want with complete freedom.
    This begs the question of how to integrate these cloud resources into your existing environment. It's a daunting task. And, it's been a roadblock for companies seeking a simple, seamless, and secure entry point to cloud—until now.
    Enter the Game Changer: NetApp AltaVault
    NetApp® AltaVault® (formerly SteelStore) cloud-integrated storage is a genuine game changer. It's an enterprise-class appliance that lets you leverage public and private clouds with security and efficiency as part of your backup and recovery strategy.
    AltaVault integrates seamlessly with your existing backup software. It compresses, deduplicates, encrypts, and streams data to the cloud provider you choose. AltaVault intelligently caches recent backups locally while vaulting older versions to the cloud, allowing for rapid restores with off-site protection. This results in a cloud-economics–driven backup-and-recovery strategy with faster recovery, reduced data loss, ironclad security, and minimal management overhead.
    AltaVault delivers both enterprise-class data protection and up to 90% less cost than on-premises solutions. The solution is part of a rich NetApp data-protection portfolio that also includes SnapProtect®, SnapMIrror®, SnapVault®, NetApp Private Storage, Cloud ONTAP®, StorageGRID® Webscale, and MetroCluster®.

    The NetApp AltaVault Cloud-Integrated Storage Appliance
    Four Ways Your Peers Are Putting AltaVault to Work
    How is AltaVault helping companies revolutionize their backup operations? Here are four ways your peers are improving their backups with AltaVault:
    Killing Complexity. In a world of increasingly complicated backup and recovery solutions, financial services firm Spot Trading was pleased to find its AltaVault implementation extremely straightforward—after pointing their backup software at the appliance, "it just worked."
    Boosting Efficiency. Australian homebuilder Metricon struggled with its tape backup infrastructure and rapid data growth before it deployed AltaVault. Now the company has reclaimed 80% of the time employees formerly spent on backups—and saved significant funds in the process.
    Staying Flexible. Insurance broker Riggs, Counselman, Michaels & Downes feels good about using AltaVault as its first foray into public cloud because it isn't locked in to any one approach to cloud—public or private. The company knows any time it wants to make a change, it can.
    Ensuring Security. Engineering firm Wright Pierce understands that if you do your homework right, it can mean better security in the cloud. After doing its homework, the firm selected AltaVault to securely store backup data in the cloud.
    Three Flavors of AltaVault
    AltaVault lets you tap into cloud economics while preserving your investments in existing backup infrastructure, and meeting your backup and recovery service-level agreements. It's available in three form factors: physical, virtual, and cloud-based.
    1. AltaVault Physical Appliances
    AltaVault physical appliances are the industry's most scalable cloud-integrated storage appliances, with capacities ranging from 32TB up to 384TB of usable local cache. Companies deploy AltaVault physical appliances in the data center to protect large volumes of data. These datasets typically require the highest available levels of performance and scalability.
    AltaVault physical appliances are built on a scalable, efficient hardware platform that's optimized to reduce data footprints and rapidly stream data to the cloud.
    2. AltaVault Virtual Appliances for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere
    AltaVault virtual appliances are an ideal solution for medium-sized businesses that want to get started with cloud backup. They're also perfect for enterprises that want to safeguard branch offices and remote offices with the same level of protection they employ in the data center.
    AltaVault virtual appliances deliver the flexibility of deploying on heterogeneous hardware while providing all of the features and functionality of hardware-based appliances. AltaVault virtual appliances can be deployed onto VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors—so you can choose the hardware that works best for you.
    3. AltaVault Cloud-based Appliances for AWS and Microsoft Azure
    For organizations without a secondary disaster recovery location, or for companies looking for extra protection with a low-cost tertiary site, cloud-based AltaVault appliances on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are key to enabling cloud-based recovery.
    On-premises AltaVault physical or virtual appliances seamlessly and securely back up your data to the cloud. If the primary site is unavailable, you can quickly spin up a cloud-based AltaVault appliance in AWS or Azure and recover data in the cloud. Usage-based, pay-as-you-go pricing means you pay only for what you use, when you use it.
    AltaVault solutions are a key element of the NetApp vision for a Data Fabric; they provide the confidence that—no matter where your data lives—you can control, integrate, move, secure, and consistently manage it.
    Figure 2) AltaVault integrates with existing storage and software to securely send data to any cloud.

    Putting AltaVault to Work for You
    Four common use cases illustrate the different ways that AltaVault physical and virtual appliances are helping companies augment and improve their backup and archive strategies:
    Backup modernization and refresh. Many organizations still rely on tape, which increases their risk exposure because of the potential for lost media in transport, increased downtime and data loss, and limited testing ability. AltaVault serves as a tape replacement or as an update of old disk-based backup appliances and virtual tape libraries (VTLs).
    Adding cloud-integrated backup. AltaVault makes a lot of sense if you already have a robust disk-to-disk backup strategy, but want to incorporate a cloud option for long-term storage of backups or to send certain backup workloads to the cloud. AltaVault can augment your existing purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) for a long-term cloud tier.
    Cold storage target. Companies want an inexpensive place to store large volumes of infrequently accessed file data for long periods of time. AltaVault works with CIFS and NFS protocols, and can send data to low-cost public or private storage for durable long-term retention.
    Archive storage target. AltaVault can provide an archive solution for database logs or a target for Symantec Enterprise Vault. The simple-to-use AltaVault management platform can allow database administrators to manage the protection of their own systems.
    We see two primary use cases for AltaVault cloud-based appliances, available in AWS and Azure clouds:
    Recover on-premises workloads in the cloud. For organizations without a secondary disaster recovery location, or for companies looking for extra protection with a low-cost tertiary site, AltaVault cloud-based appliances are key to enabling cloud-based disaster recovery. Via on-premises AltaVault physical or virtual appliances, data is seamlessly and securely protected in the cloud.
    Protect cloud-based workloads.  AltaVault cloud-based appliances offer an efficient and secure approach to backing up production workloads already running in the public cloud. Using your existing backup software, AltaVault deduplicates, encrypts, and rapidly migrates data to low-cost cloud storage for long-term retention.
    The benefits of cloud—infinite, flexible, and inexpensive storage and compute—are becoming too great to ignore. AltaVault delivers an efficient, secure alternative or addition to your current storage backup solution. Learn more about the benefits of AltaVault and how it can give your company the competitive edge you need in today's hyper-paced marketplace.

    You didn't say what phone you have - but you can set it to update and backup and sync over wifi only - I'm betting that those things are happening "automatically" using your cellular connection rather than wifi.
    I sync my email automatically when I have a wifi connection, but I can sync manually if I need to.  Downloads happen for me only on wifi, photo and video backup are only over wifi, app updates are only over wifi....check your settings.  Another recent gotcha is Facebook and videos.  LOTS of people are posting videos on Facebook and they automatically download and play UNLESS you turn them off.  That can eat up your data in a hurry if you are on FB regularly.

  • Safari won't open after 10.6.8 combo update, Yosemite won't download.

    Background:  [Experts welcome to avoid this by skipping to the next paragraph]  I need to update my MacBookAir to Yosemite from Snow Leopard.  To answer the obvious, since most who read this think I'm practically working with an abacus and smoke signals:  I've been avoiding upgrades because I just didn't see the need to spend the money when I wasn't having any issues.  The issue now is that I can't get Norton support with Snow Leopard.  So, having heard of the free upgrade to 10.10, I went for it.  --And no, I'm not a cheapskate.  In fact, I couldn't afford the Air to start with, but some fool gave me a credit card and-- well, there you go.
    The problem:  I want to (finally) upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite.  I downloaded the 10.6.8 combo pack to my MacBookAir (11-inch, late 2010), necessary to get an App Store update that would allow the download of Yosemite.  [This is how I was successful in going through this same process with my MacMini (early 2010).  Although there's a Java problem there that's baffling--another question, another thread.]  The machine tells me the combo pack update installed successfully, but I can't get past that step to OS 10.10.  When I open the App Store and navigate to Yosemite and select to get it, nothing happens.  Additionally, and most troubling, is that now Safari won't open for more than a couple of seconds before "unexpectedly" shutting down For what it's worth, Mail works fine, so internet connectivity doesn't seem to be the issue.
    What I've tried:
         -Software Update.  Air tells me the operation can't be completed because I don't have permission.
         -Verified both start up disc and HD, including repairing permissions.  Still no go on updates.
         -Not banging my head against the wall.  This has been successful thus far.  However, I'm willing to go there if it will help.
    Thanks in advance for guidance
    p.s.  I'm willing to--for the short term--go back to pre-10.6.8 combo update if that's what I need to do to use Safari.

    Problem already solved! Found a existing thread with the same issue!
