I've successfully Reinstalled the Sound Library, but the option to download All Available Sounds is greyed out. I'm trying to get the Legacy Podcast options (which I have done successfully on my other computer). I've deleted and reinstalled GarageBand twice. I've restarted GarageBand and my computer a number of times. I have no idea what to try next.
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
Hi Pete,
Have you tried searching Sound Library or Loops Browser to see if it is appearing there?
If you're still unable to locate any Legacy sounds, reach out to the GarageBand team. To reach them follow these steps:
1 - Go to Contact Apple Support.
2 - Apps & Software > Mac apps > GarageBand
Enjoy the day!
I tried deleting everything I could find that might have anything to do with GarageBand. Then I downloaded and install GarageBand again. This time the installation went great, and I was able to install All Available Sounds. But I didn't get the Legacy sounds. Previously I would get the guitar sounds, but not the legacy podcasting. Now I don't get either.
The GarageBand manual, by the way, doesn't have any help for a download problem. I also don't see any sounds that need downloading. If checked the loops, and it look as if everything is there.
Any other ideas? I must be leaving something already installed from the previous release, but I don't know where to look.
Thanks again. Pete
I did have an old version of GarageBand. I tried deleting everything and re-installing, but there must be something still there that I can't find.
Besides the application, where else should I look?
Hello wepetepeterson,
Thanks for reaching out on the Apple Support Communities. I see that you’re unable to find the Legacy Podcast options on this Mac, and you’ve been able to do so on another Mac. Based on what you’re seeing, it sounds like you may have some additional items installed on the other Mac, or that it had an older version of GarageBand installed. This would explain why you’re seeing “All Available Sounds” greyed out. Typically, this option is used when there is additional content which GarageBand can use installed on the computer. You'll also want to take a look and see if there are any items in the Library or Loop Browser which show a Download button next to them. If there are, you’ll want to download them individually.
You can find the GarageBand for Mac guide here: GarageBand Help.
Cheers!
Cannot Download All Available Sounds in GarageBand. The item is greyed out.
