No Apple Loops Found?
Whenever I open Garageband I get this message.
How do I reinstall the Apple Loop Package? Garageband was preinstalled on my computer and I have tried reinstalling from the appstore several times.

Hello neptune_1,
First I'd recommend dragging the existing loops on your system into GarageBand.
Apple Loops don't appear in the GarageBand loop browser

If there are still no loops appearing, the Loop Index may need to be completely rebuilt.
To rebuild the index files, follow these steps:
- Log in with an administrator account.
- If GarageBand is open, quit it.
- Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
- From the Go menu, choose Go to Folder.
- Type directory location: see this article.
- Click Go.
- Drag all "Search Index" files from the Apple Loops Index folder to the Trash. (These files will be rebuilt later.)
- Open GarageBand.
- Click the Loop Browser button. You may see the "No Apple Loops Found" message.
- Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
- From the Go menu, choose Go to Folder.
- Type the directory location: see this article.
- Click Go.
- Locate the Apple Loops folder and drag it from the Finder into the Loop Browser in GarageBand.
- Be sure to repeat steps 11-14, checking all the possible locations for loops, as described in this article.
