All of the free music that comes with iMovie is suddenly missing. How do I get it back?

I wanted to start a new project in iMovie, and I realized all of the iLife music is gone. I'm not talking about my iTunes songs, which are all there. I'm talking about the free music that comes with iMovie/iLife. I used some of the music in a previous project, and that still plays, but I can't access the music anymore from the music tab.


The iLife sound effects are still there, but all the music is gone.


Please help.

Mac OS X (10.7.5), iMovie 9.0.9

The music tracks you refer to are listed as Jingles in iMovie. You should be able to see them in the Jingles folder in Finder, as follows:


Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/Jingles


If you don't see them there, use Spotlight (magnifying glass icon in top right corner of the menu bar) to search for Jingles.

I can't see any folder called 'iLife Sound Effects'. Also, I cant find any jungles when I search jingles. But, I can get jingles in iMovie (I can't seem to find them on garageband)

See the following screenshot from GarageBand - firstly click on Apple Loops in the top right corner, then on Jingles in the listing of items that appear below that. You should now see all the Jingles in the panel at the bottom right of the window.
