When I open GarageBand (2009) and the initial window opens, showing "New Project," "Learn to Play," etc. down the left column, I select New Project. But only "Podcast" and "Movie" appear in the option field. No instruments. Aren't instruments supposed to appear there?
Thanks-

I don't have GarageBand 09, but the projects you should see in the "New Projects" panel, are stored in your System Library as templates. Check the folder
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Templates/Projects/ in the System LIbrary. For GarageBand '11 I see the following templates:
| 01. Piano.band | 06. Acoustic Instrument.band |
| 02. Electric Guitar.band | 07. Songwriting.band |
| 03. Voice.band | 08. Podcast.band |
| 04. Loops.band | 09. Movie.band |
05. Keyboard Collection.band
So you should see at least Piano, Acoustic Instruments, Electric Guitar, Voice, etc.
If these project tempates are missing, you could try to restore them from a backup.
