Sorting or Filtering Loops in Logic Pro X 10.7.4 Make Loops Disappeared

I had this issue as well, but I figured out what the issue was for me and found a solution.

I have Google Drive Backup installed - and one of the folders I directed for syncing to Google Drive is the Music folder in my Home folder - Users/MyUserName/Music.

Logic Pro keeps the Apple Loops Index database in the sub-folder Audio Music Apps/Databases. And probably because Google Drive backup in some way "locked" the file while syncing my local folder, I assume Logic Pro couldn't index properly and the database keeps getting corrupted. I assume the same issue would be there with OneDrive and other cloud backup solutions.

The solution for me was to pause syncing in Google Drive Backup while using Logic Pro, alternatively, you can of course direct Google Drive Backup to not sync that specific folder at all.

Hope it helps you!

Just my 2 cents on using Google Drive for backups, apart from it ruining your Logic Pro / Apple Loops experience. There's a good chance that ALL your files synced to Google Drive are getting parsed and mined for data. To be fair, iCloud is no better, that's for sure. Regular manual backups or using a dedicated Time Machine drive might be a better idea, IMO.

Totally different discussion - and am fully aware of the issues - and do TM/manual backups as well. So more of a belts and suspenders approach for certain types of files that I have no interest in loosing. Of course there are other cloud (non big tech) solutions, but for the moment I am running with Google for convenience. But thanks for the reminder to look at safer/more privacy focused options.

Hi grimmswede, yes, a different discussion, but still worth having ;) By the way, thanks for pointing out that syncing to Google Drive might potentially interfere with Apple Loops' database files somehow!

Happy it worked for you as well! Now time to make great music :)
