Missing loops on garageband

hi i have the most recent garageband on mountain lion. I noticed in the loops browser that im missing vocals, celesta, harp, harpsichord, and slideguitar and i was wondering if anyone else ran across this and why theyre missing. thank you!

Vocals, celesta, harp, harpsichord, and slideguitar all come with the JamPacks and are not part of the basic GarageBand '11.
Have you been using JamPacks before you upgraded? Then you will need to reinstall them again. Only some JamPack installers will not run on Mt. Lion, because they are PowerPC applications.
Do you have another Mac with the JamPacks installed, or a backup?
Regards

Unable to download Additional Loops For Garageband Ctrl R Does Not Work

I am unable to download the additonal loops for Garageband on my iMac Purchased New Spring 2013.
I have done the following with no success:
Uninstalled Garage Band.
Reinstalled Garage Band from App Store.
Reindexed Loops
Clicked on missing loop and choose Update Now
Clicked on missing loop and choose Update Later
Used Ctrl+R in App store (nothing available). (Yes, I logged in with AppleID)
Deleted Apple Loops Folder
Deleted Apple Loops index Folder
Re-indexed loops in Garageband
My Library... Apple Loops folder is empty, but the pre-installed loops for Garageband are there.
I have also tried the terminal command: sudo softwareupdate --list
There are NO updates available.
Anyone have any addittional suggestions for installing the missing loops from Garageband?

What exactly happens, when you try to download the missing loops - when you click on a missing loop and choose "Update now"?
My Library... Apple Loops folder is empty, but the pre-installed loops for Garageband are there.
Are you looking in the library in your Home Folder
"~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/" , or in the System library "/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/" ?
The loops should be installed in the System Library
"/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/".
How did you set up your new mac? Did you migrate from an older mac using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant? Did you migrate an earlier GarageBand installation?

No Vintage Funk Kit 03 on Garageband 10.0.3. Am I missing Loops?

I'm running Garageband 10.0.3 but I don't seem to have certain famous loops such as 'Vintage Funk Kit 03'. I have made all in app purchases and have 3337 loops. Has 'Vintage Funk Kit 03' just been deleted from new versions of Garageband or am I missing loops? I'm not massively bothered about not having 'Vintage Funk Kit 03', I just wanted to check that I'm not missing anything.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Okay guys and gals, I figured it out... I hope they'll let me post the pic. Basically, with the icon up on the corner pressed for controllers, you get a few new options. For some reason, they were grey'd out unless I had the keyboard open at the time... but once I did I could fiddle with it. Since the modulations for smart strings seem to be awfully specific, you wouldn't notice any difference with any fine changes, but I noticed it changed dramatically at about 50 and 70... 50 ended up being the pluck I was looking for.

Missing loops in the new GarageBand

Hi, I have installed the last version of GarageBand 10.0.1 (AppStore).
Where are the missing loops who was available with the previous version.
For example :
70s Ballad Piano 03.caf
70s Ballad Piano 04.caf
70s Ballad Piano 05.caf
Thanks for help !

Don't know if this is still an issue for you, but I had a similar problem after upgrading; some loops from an old song I did were gone. I did a custom upload of the loops from GarageBand '08 install disc, which replaced the missing loops in my AppleLoop file. It also somehow deleted GB 10. I reinstalled GB from the App Store. Most of the loops were then available. Some were dimmed. Some were still missing from the list, even though they appeared in the Apple Loops folder. So I did a reindex of the loops and all now seems -- for the present, anyway -- to be working properly.
Another possible path I discovered too late: go to the link here, download the missing loops, place them in your Apple Loops folder in your system library. Then reindex the loops.

These are aif files but should work okay. I think the caf files are the same thing, only compressed.

Garageband missing loops like Island long

Hi there.
Last year I took music in school. We used the schools macs on apps like garageband and Logic Pro.
I decided to buy myself a mac this year and, after installing the addon loops in garageband, I still only have 2000 loops.
I am unable to find the ones that are proper 'songs'/jingles like "island" and "Lowrider". How do I get these on my mac
Thanks in advance
Logan

Logan,
"island long" is a loop from the iLife Sound Effects. It is not a GarageBand Loop, but a loop that could be used with GarageBand, if the iLife 11 package has been installed. Do you own a copy of the iLife '11 DVD? Then try to reinstall the iLife '11 version of GarageBand. GarageBAnd 10 can use the loops. Or restore them from the last backup you made, before you upgraded to GarageBand 10.
-- Léonie
added: I don't know about "Lowrider" loops. The only loop I have with this name, is "Low Rider Sub Bass" in the "Tech House" collection. What is the fact name of the loop that is missing?

Software Update not finding missing loops

I've just updated my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) from iLife 09 to iLife 11.
In Garageband most of the loops are missing (greyed out). When I click on one I'm given the option of downloading later or now. When I choose 'now' it opens Software Update which searches for updates and tells me that all my software is up to date. If I click on a missing look again the message says that the software instrument or Apple Loop is currently being installed and that I should open Software Update for additional information.
How do I install all the missing loops if Software Update is telling me all my programs are up to date?

What do you have in...
/Library/Receipts folder?
Getting them Directly is better antway.

DVD problem with missing loops, instruments

(trying to get a helpful subject there for those searching for answers)
the fact that the loops are greyed out and instruments missing in new garagebands is well known. so is the solution of installing from DVD. i cant seem to get that to work for my high school music class.
back story is that every student has a macbook (yes i know.. amazing). thing is, most students give their macs to the IT department to get their machines 'set up' and the IT department collects their DVDs. i borrowed a bunch of those DVDs from the IT department and inserted the DVD when asked but its just not working..
any ideas? do i need to get the EXACT DVDs that came with the machine? i doubt that.
also - why doesnt any of the download options work? does anyone from apple know thats broken?
lastly - what about instruments? i can get the students some loops by dragging loops of my machine into garageband (using target disk mode), but how do i get instruments? i dont drag them into the loop browser, so where might they get put? should i put them in /Application Support/?
as we're talking about 37 students (this semster - last semester we had an ugly fix) i thought i'd ask before i did something.
thanks a bunch..

Greyed out loops in Garageband 11?

I installed GB11 from the Mountain Lion's Appstore and not from an iLife DVD. It required an update for the loops and most of them downloaded but there are still some greyed out buttons.
Here's a pic: http://imgur.com/5OgugCL
All the support pages and discussions gave me zero help thus far. I even tried downloading an update right from Apple's Garageband support pages for version 6.0.5, but that's apparently only for those who have installed via DVD. Solutions anyone? Please and thanks!

Contrary to the above response, it is NOT normal, and the grayed out loops are not supposed to be grayed out. It is not because you don't own Jam Packs and have them installed; the missing loops are not Jam Pack content.
The missing loops do belong in GarageBand '11, and have to be downloaded from Apple and installed into GB. The problem is, GB is broken in this respect, and it will not download the loops, and the App Store will also not update the loops. GarageBand will say it is downloading them in Software Update, but it will not do so.
I called AppleCare about this, and it took a couple tries, but we got it solved. It's complicated to do so.
It is, the support person said, the one thing broken in GB '11. Anyway, here's the procedure that worked to get them to install. (Hope I'm not giving up any state secrets here; they didn't swear me to secrecy and others do have the problem.)
First thing to do is go to GarageBand and make it go through its fakeout cycle telling you it's updating the loops. Click on any gray loop's download arrow, and tell it to download it now. It'll open App Store, and that won't download anything, and it'll all fail. Quit App Store and GarageBand.
Next, you need an administrator login user. I created one, called "apple" -- do this in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. (You do need admin privileges to do this; you may already have them in your own login, and thus not need to create an administrator login.) Gave it an easy password. Then, with Fast User Switching, I logged in as the administrator "apple."
It'll take a few minutes for your machine to set up this new user, so be patient until it's all logged in. (The mouse will be slow. You can change that in System Preferences Mouse panel if you want to.)
Now, open a Terminal window. Fastest way to do this: Spotlight (Cmd-Space), type in "terminal" and hit Return key once Terminal is highlighted in the Spotlight list.
Let Terminal get all set up, with a cursor available.
You'll see something very like:
Last login: Sat Jun 29 18:55:22 on console
ComputerName:~ apple$
At the cursor prompt, type:
sudo softwareupdate --list
Hit Return. Now you'll see:
WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.
Password:
Type in the password you created, and hit Return. Now you should see:

Select and then copy (cmd-C) the GBExtraContent-1.0
Now, type at the ComputerName:~ apple$ prompt:
sudo softwareupdate --install GBExtraContent-1.0
Now, you'll see the update take place. It'll look like this:

Downloading GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops
   104 KB of 1.2 GB

   4.1 MB of 1.2 GB — About 8 minutes
   6.1 MB of 1.2 GB — About 7 minutes
[This will continue until it's all downloaded.]
What you're seeing in that counting of GB and minutes is the countdown of the download and the install time. Let it run until it completes.
Give it a couple minutes to complete installing, and then start GarageBand in the admin login. It will take some time for GB to start up, because it's the first startup for this user. Several minutes.
Once it has completed (it takes a while, as I said), go to the Loop Browser. They should all be there, no gray.
Quit GB and go to your normal User and start GB there. The loops should all be present. If not, quit it and restart it. Now they should all be there.
At least, this worked for me this way.

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

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

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

Greyed out options on Apple loops on GarageBand ipod 5

i have some greyed out catagories for Apple loops in GarageBand, and I see that i can get some additional stuff free under in app purchases in the App Store, though I have no idea to get to it. How can I get the other loops?

I had a similar problem with songs greyed out and not syncing and apps not syncing either. I also tried multiple restarts and redownloading iOS5 etc. The one thing which seems to have sorted it out for me is buying a (free) app from the app store on my iphone and then syncing with itunes. Oddly enough this seems to have woken itunes up to the fact that stuff wasn't synced and started the process of a full sync.
A bit random and i read this on another thread, but it worked for me.

Hi ,
Looks like you need to apply some SAP Notes depending upon the SAP Version you are using .
Note 74424 - Editing WBS -> Error message CJ895
Note 149698 - Hierarchy inconsistency in the project
If you have access to the Notes please go through them or search for some other notes which are relevant .
thanks and regards,

How to download apple loops for Garageband 10.0.1 ?

How to download apple loops for Garageband 10.0.1 ?

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
And yes, iDVD 7.1.2 will work with Mavericks.
Happy New Year
