Those free .Mac GarageBand Loop downloads:

I am gathering songs and sounds for my iMovies. Regarding those free .Mac GarageBand Loop downloads: Are those sounds only for GarageBand, or if I download them, will they go into iTunes so that they are accessible for importing into an iMovie? Please excuse my ignorance on this topic. I am almost expecting someone to write and say that GarageBand loops are not playable in an iMovie for one or another reason.
Again, I am posting here bc .Mac does not allow a space for sending such questions within a .Mac framework!

Hi Lorna:
With iMovie 4 or 5, you can 'compose' songs from
those loops in GrageBand and then save to itunes for
imovie. But the loops themselves are for GarageBand
only.

Aw, that's what I figured — that as a Garage Band freebie, it was meant for work within Garage Band to work with Garage Band software. Oh well.... 8-(

Garageband Loop Download Problem

I'm using GB 4.1, and when I go to select a loop, a dialog box pops up and asks if I want to install the complete set of loops at 1.2 GB, and gives me three options: Download Now, Download Later, or Install from DVD.
If I select Download Now, Software Update comes up and searches for an install. It never does find one and says all my software has its updates. Then that's it, no prompts or questions or anything on the progress of the install.
If I select Download Later, the claim is that Software Update will look for this download upon opening SU the next time. Well, I open Software Update, and yep, no prompts, or anything to signify that an update was coming.
I haven't selected Install from DVD, because I don't know if that means my install discs or one of those pay-for packs' DVDs.
So is this a major bug, or is there some fine print that states that in order to download this, that I need to pay an amount?
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Here is what worked for me.
Setup: My iMac came with 10.4x installed and included a 10.5 dvd, I installed 10.5
Problem: Garage Band will not find the loops on 10.4x Disk #2
I have fink installed along with Midnight Commander "mc"
I used midnight commander to locate the package on Disk 2 and copied it to my desktop.
On my desktop I right clicked on the package and selected Show Package Contents. I located the package with tiger loops and simply double clicked and installed them.

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes does not have a ringtone tab. I can not sync the ringtones.

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab. I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)! Please help.

Yes, the file extension is M4R. Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook? I then opened them in Itunes and played them. I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes). When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty. Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

My husband bought an iPad 2. I have a Mac. ITunes is in my name but I have turned sharing on. When we updated to OS5 we lost all the free apps that he downloaded in his user name. Is there no way to update using my iTunes without losing his software.

Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

IPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick

iPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick.

And yet to download the app you clicked on a button that told you that the app would be 790 rupees for you.
The iLife apps and the iWork apps are only free when you qualify to get them free. And when you get them free the buy button to download them says free. When the buy button has a price on it, that is how much you will pay for the app.

Problem Downloading Extra GarageBand Loops

Just bought a new iMac and ran into a problem downloading the extra greyed out loops. The issue occurred because I upgraded GarageBand through Software Update before downloading the extra files. After the upgrade Software Update no longer gives you an opportunity to download the loops even though they are still greyed out in the loops window.
The solution was a re-install of GarageBand from CD, & avoiding software update until the extra files were downloaded.

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...

Is there a free version of an Mac Word that I can download. My previous computer was an HP and it was installed for free. I tried downloading it but halfway through the process, a message popped saying it is currently running in one of my programs.

I googled and downloaded a free version in my mac but halfway of it being downloaded, I was informed it cannot be properly installed as it is running in my program? Is there a built in Word for Mac. I have never been a Mac user so everything is new to me.

NeoOffice is not totally free. You can download it for free, but I had to switch my mom away from NeoOffice to LibreOffice because NeoOffice started nagging for payments to be able to download updates.
In fact NeoOffice is now in the Mac App Store for $9.99.

You need to pay once; as long as the other Macs are registered with the same ID at the store, yes you can use it on the others.

As far as I know, any free word processing apps would be no where near as good as opposed to just purchasing iWork (Apple's version of Word) or Microsoft Office for Mac. It's definitely worth the price to buy one of these if your planning on using it a lot.

Softwareupdate doenst load garageband loops

Hello, when i try to download the missing Garageband loops, the appstore update opens and nothing happens. Can someone help me please ?

Have you moved the GarageBand application from the Applications folder or renamed it? If yes, put it back into Applications, not into a subfolder.
Also, make sure you are using an administrator account, and disable all firewalls and antivirus software.
Sign into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to set up your Mac originally.
Reload the Software Update Pane in the AppStore using by pressing the ⌘R keys.

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

How can I set up a smart playlist for those free songs from iTunes?

I have been downloading all those free songs that iTunes gives out every week. I just realized that I never listen to them because they are not all grouped together. Is there a way to do that? I tried using a smart folder to do that but I don't think anything in those files is labeled "single of the week" so nothing came up. Any ideas?

That would work. Another option I just thought of is that since most my iTunes purchases are music videos I could just say show purchased content that is not a music video. I would still end up getting some stuff that wasn't the free songs but the results seem close enough. Since my song library has 3494 songs it would be hard to pick the free songs out individually.
