Missing tunes in iLife Sound Effects in iMovie HD6

I have been working with iMovie HD version 6.0.4 installed in the iLife 08 package in Leopard. When
accessing the Media Pane and clicking on the Audio Pane and then on iLife Sound Effects, I find that the tunes list is completely blank. There are also no tunes listed in the Garage Band section. However the Standard Sound Effects, the Skywalker Sound Effects and the iTunes list, are completely intact with all songs or tunes in place as expected. I did not have this problem with iMovie version 6.0.3 installed on my iMac G4 computer using Tiger OSX 10.4.11 and I have notified Apple of this problem via the iMovie Help Feedback Form however have had no response from them as they can't respond to individual comments. As a footnote, the missing tunes are in fact on the hard drive. They can be found by going to HD>LIBRARY>AUDIO>APPLE LOOPS>APPLE>iLife Sound Effects (or Garage Band) and the full list of tunes will appear. The question is - how do I transfer all these tunes to the appropriate Media Panes in iMovie and also to the Media Pane in the latest version of Roxio's Toast Titanium version 8 software? I hope that there is someone out there who might help to resolve this problem or who may be able to get Apple to provide an iMovie update which might correct this situation.

Ok, so this is what I did.
I naviagted to the directory you gave me: Hard Drive>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple
I created a new folder name iLife Sound Effects in that directory.
Then I went to imovie, went to the music tab and dragged all of the .caf files straight from iMovie into the folder I created.
Then I opened up FCPX and the files showed up in the audio tab.
Then I deleted iMove because I didnt need it anymore.

IMovie/iLife Sound Effects working in FCPX but no sign of original folders?

I posted this question a couple of weeks ago but received no resolution.
PROBLEM:-
iMovie and iLife Sound Effects are present and working in FCP X 10.1.3 but there is no sign of their original folders on my Mac HD
DETAILS:-
I have searched in Mac HD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple and numerous other places.
I have done Spotlight and Finder searches using both the folder names and some of the individual loop names to no effect.
I have used DiskWave to list every file and folder on my computer . . . still no sign.
The computer is a new (2012) Mac mini, Yosemite with very little on it.
The folders were there originally when I bought it with Mavericks installed last month.
I upgraded to Yosemite but as I suffered a few minor bugs I created a new partition and reinstalled Mavericks.
It was whilst using Mavericks that I noticed FCP X could not access the sound effects and a search of both partitions suggested they had disappeared.
However, when I restarted in Yosemite and opened FCP X, the sound effects were there and working in the music browser but were no longer visible anywhere on the hard drive.
This has to rank as a greater mystery than the Mary Celeste!

PROBLEM SOLVED !
I have just been using DiskWave for another matter and accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the missing iMove and iLife sound effects.
iMovie>Contents>Resources
So now they actually reside in the iMovie app itself.
So what caused them to disappear from the "Apple Loops" folder?
I can only guess but I suspect that the switch occurred when I updated iMovie to the latest "Yosemite" version.
Presumably Apple has decided that the best place for these loops is in the iMovie app . . . it's just a pity they didn't tell anyone else!
If anyone would like to test this theory for me I would be most obliged . . . assuming you have an old version of iMove and are running Yosemite, simply update iMovie and look for the new location of the sound effects.

No sound effects in imovie

I have no sound effects or option to pick from my itunes while in imovie. I am not sure what is going on. The whole box is just gray. Any help would be great!

So, update, I have searched my computer, and apparently the original sounds from ilife sound effects is no longer on my mac... I'm not sure how they were removed, as I never deleted things, only added and moved. Now I have to find out where I can find just the ilife sound effects... maybe a download out there?

ILife Sound Effects

I downloaded iMovie HD 6 and despite the fact that I have iLife 08 there are no iLife sound effects. I was wondering how I could obtain these. Thanks.

Look in MacHD>Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple>iLife Sound effects to see if your iLife Sound Effects are on your computer. If they are there, try copying and dragging them into the media pane of iMovie. If they won't copy to your iMovie media pane, you might be able to utilize the effects in your iMovie project directly from the above Apple folder.
I assume that you downloaded iM6.0.4, because that is the version that works with iLife 08.
The iLife Sound Effects are included in the iLife bundle, not in the individual iMovie packet. You might need to reinstall iLife 08 if the iLife Sound Effects did not download.

Is there sheet music available for the iLife Sound Effect Jingle, "Newborn"?

Is there sheet music available for the iLife Sound Effect Jingle, "Newborn"?

Ilife Sound Effects and Final Cut Pro Sounds are not appearing in Final Cut Pro X anymore!?

Hello,
I am new to the app Final Cut Pro X. And recently when I have gone into the Music and Sound Folder in final cut pro the option for Ilife Sound Effects and FCPX Sound Effects do not appear. I have read other forums and they have said to drag the sound files into FCPX but that isn't even a option. It onlt has iTunes options, please reply back someone this is stressing me out. I don't know if it is because of Mavericks or whatever but it is driving me insane and I need help!
This is what it looks like .

This is a known issue in FCP X 10.1 and you will find many posts about it in the forum just do a search. Several solutions have worked for different users. Try the following:
1. Open and close GarageBand then relaunch FCP
2. Open and close iPhoto then relaunch FCP
3. Close and reopen FCP
4. Trash FCP preferences then relaunch FCP
Any one of these may work. Just try them in any order. Be aware the problem may recur.

Method to move "iLife Sound Effects" to an external hard drive?

I would like to move my "iLife Sound Effects" to an external hard drive. Is there an easy method? I then want to permanently delete them on my boot up drive as well. Thanks.

My iTunes library is set up the way I said in the top post and works totally fine.
Yes, and that is the default structure to which I was referring. iTunes will organize it that way automatically unless people do start changing settings (in which case they should know what they are doing and how iTunes works with library files and media structure.)
Both ways work, the advantages of mine would be that should iTunes try looking fo a library, it will always be in the default location.
It makes people think they have to change media location in preferences. They do not unless they want to relocate media only and leave other things on their internal drive (in which case there is no point in copying library files to the external, and you certainly wouldn't want to then delete them from your internal).
Downside is that then should someone move their iTunes library to anther computer they need to remember to get those library files on the external hard drive.
Just copy the whole iTunes folder and it will get the library files to the other drive in one step, along with all the other files.
Your post has good stuff but it makes a move appear intimidating and look like people have to do a lot of organizing to move the collection. It also throws in extra steps (namely altering preference settings) that could cause confusion or even make a mess of things. If people leave iTunes to default preference settings (which most people do) the move summarizes into a short line: Copy a folder and hold an extra button the next time you start iTunes.
Note that the instructions in the link I provided earlier do also include many steps, but those are to ensure that everybody does have it all organized correctly before simply copying the iTunes folder. In the end it is just a simple action.

FCP7 Taking an mp3 file (sound effect from imovie library to compressor then import to FCP7

I am clicking and dragging from iMovie sound effects into FCP7 in it's original format mp3 then I am sending it to compressor and using a 48-16 codec
to compress it then I am going back to FCP7 and trying to import it but it does not show up on either my internal drive or external drive. Am I missing something? I have done this all before. Thanks.

Hi
I'm much more lazy - as I have one way to handle Audio and it always works for my projects.
• I convert all to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit - or use Audio-CDs .aiff 44.1kHz
Everything I convert to this - by use of the free program - Audacity
or from iTunes - by burning out on an Audio CD (still .aiff - no .mp3 or ect)
These files works greatly in all my Movie/DVD projects.

Copy right on sound effects in iMovie

I just got a strange email from youtube. They claim a movie clip of mine contains material which possibly is the property of "GoDigital MG For a Third Party".
I only used sound effects and music from imovie. Isn't this material free to use and publish in my movie clips?
Does anybody know more about this? I cannot find any indication of the copy right inside imovie.
It also states that I don't have to do anything, my clip is still available world wide but they could advertise on my page.
Thanks for any help in advance. If this meant trouble I would remove the clip. Its only a holiday film. Or I would move to Vimeo.
Cheers
Chris

This question comes up from time to time. YouTube and Facebook are both wrong.

What is this ILife sound effect

Hi, does anybody know the Ilife track behind this.
http://soundcloud.com/airbus125/ilife-1
Thanks,
Aaron

At the beginning, it sounds like one of the radio station ID effects, maybe with a bitcrusher or some distortion on it. I'm not sure what the guitar bit is, but you could probably get something like it with the guitar software instrument in GarageBand. Hope that helps.

What are the rules for using ILife sound effects, jingles, in video projects?

I used a musical track from my iLife musical library in FCPX and when I posted the video on YouTube it was claimed by a third party. The track is called "Elysium". So are the music and sound libraries free from copyright claim?

That's the rub. Everybody has the impression they can use Apple Loops as if they're open source or public domain... They are so not. They are free from royalties! That's a completely different thing.
You do have the right to use those "jingles" in your video works for free. You do need to give credit to the third party contributors of content you've used in your videos.
I find that placing a credit *in your video* like:
Music: Elysium by Apple, Inc. Used with (or by) permission.
or
Music: Elysium licensed by Apple, Inc.
helps out considerably.
(All of the iLife Jingles are credited to Apple, Inc.)
(You can use any kind of formatting you like for displaying credits -- you can make it an interesting part of your video as done in some higher end movies, etc.)
YouTube needs to cover their a**. Your videos need to have a little professionalism added to them (credits are de rigueur [good etiquette, and expected.]) I'm pretty sure that YouTube puts human eyes on every upload. I place credits at the very beginning and the videos usually "clear" rather quickly.
One of the problems with using "Apple Loops" is that somebody has already beat you to using them. Content matches cover everything. I've had content matches against people who have actually violated the end user agreement for using the loops (there's a clause that basically states that loops shall not be made available to the public in their entirety without modification.) It's okay to use loops in a derivative type setting (something is added to the soundtrack with the music to make it "changed".) [I don't think Apple pushes the point... but others might.]
YouTube doesn't really care what you use. They just need to make sure their liability is zero. Credit everything. Be truthful (you've got to cover your own a** as well.) If you don't have permission to use something... DON'T!
YouTube has an Audio Library of free content you can use (without credit! — but give the credit anyway [professionalism]) in their content Creation Tools section located at the bottom of the left column of your Account pages (Video Manager, Dashboard, etc.) It's a pretty decent selection of music... you should check it out.

I life sound effects not showing in imovie 08

whenever i'm in imovie 08 and i click on the ilife sound effects folder, then click on animals i don't have any sound clips to choose from. there are sound clips in there but they are all .caf files. does imovie not read .caf or is there a quick easy way to convert them to.mp3 files ?

Mmmm strange . the sound files should be .aif, what happens if you simply change the file extension from .caf to .aif (I've not come across .caf before. They are located in library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound effects.

Help! iMovie 10.0.2 does not show my entire sound effects library

I've been building an extensive iLife sound effects library to use for my videos and when I open the library in a wondow it shows all of my audio files. When I try to import sound files in iMovie 10.0.2 however, it only shows the standard audio files from apple, it does not show my own imported files. How do I get to my files in the new iMovie? I'm getting very frustrated, I need to get this project done quickly and I keep running into problems like this with this new updated version This is taking up too much of my time! Please help!

No, I did not.
Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.
Apple should release a warning that some special characters are not allowed to be used in project names or better should solve this.
Thanks for your help!

Why does I pad volume show sound effects not volume

My I pad used to show volume control now it shows sound effects. Also keyboard clicks not working

All these effects are part of the loops in the iLife Sound effects loop package, that was a part of the application bundle iLIfe '11 (iPhoto. iMovie, GarageBand '11). These loops are neither installed by GarageBand 10.0 or GarageBand '11, nor MacOs X, you need an iLife '11 installer disk to get these loops.
And GarageBand 10 also does not have the Sound Effects instruments any longer, that let you drag samples onto keys. It is one of the sorely missed features, that have been discontinued in the new version GarageBand 10. even if you install the previous version, GarageBAnd '11, to add the Sound effects instrument to GarageBand 10. it will not work properly, because GarageBand 10 will not save the custom instrument with the samples. You will have to complete your song in one session, without quitting GarageBand.
You may want to send feedback to the Apple Developers about these missing features with a feature request: Apple - GarageBand Mac- Feedback

Why does my new garageband 10.0.03 not have the legacy with sound effects or radio sound preset or applause preset???? I need these to be able to chop samples into the keyboard keys by dragging and dropping them into the keys.

I am just trying to chop samples and drop them into a track with legacy-sound effects- radio sounds, so that I can play with them and chop them onto keys. I see a bunch of videos on youtube showing you how to do it, but I can't find those kits on the newest garageband.

All these effects are part of the loops in the iLife Sound effects loop package, that was a part of the application bundle iLIfe '11 (iPhoto. iMovie, GarageBand '11).
