Help Using Apple Loops Utility

Fix the permissions.

Apple loops sees your file as read only.

Click on the file with the right button of your mouse (or ctrl click if you jave a one button mouse) and select "Show Info".
At the bottom of the Info window there are the permission settings.

You can also try to repair permissions using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/).

Did this permissions thing work for you, I tried it but nothing changed, did a permission repair in the disk utility and tried to do one right within apple loops utility and still same problem...there is no "right" clicking on the actual sample... nothing happens... I have the exact same problem as the original poster so I was wondering if the permissions fixed it for him... I'm new to mac so I may be doing something wrong....

OK I figured out that it doesn't have anything to do with the disk permissions. There is an option on the Tags window right near the top beside file type for either non-looping (I guess this must have been defaulted) and looping. If you click looping then when you go to the Transients window the transient markers all show up.

So to piggy back off that question - what now?? I can draw in transient markers where I need them but how does that help me if I can't manipulate the audio??? I mean once I have all the transients that I want to work with marked shouldn't I be able to somehow quantize them? In Cubase I could just drag them forward or backward so that the audio was on the beat. Pretty skimpy manual and I am not sure what the next step is once I have all the transients marked the way I want them.
