Q: 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?

A:

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?Screen Shot 2015-01-08 at 10.21.38CET.png

 

 

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

    More info: It's the Rhythm Section Jack Pack, and it's GarageBand '11 on an iMac with OSX 10.8.5

    Hi

    I have a similar (but different!) problem

     

    My loops are in my Apple Audio folder. I can add them to a project from there.

     

    But they don't appear in my GB loops browser window - some do (probably from a Jampack?) but not all the old ones I had.

     

    If I try to drag them in from the folder it says I already have them - but I cannot see any loops next to most instruments, tho the files are still on my Mac.

     

    Your fix didn't work - or i can't follow it.GB version 6.0.4  Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion

    I meant to add:-

     

    If i open an old project I can see the loops in the browser.

    It's only new projects where all the various loops have disappeared-obviously since some update?
