I upgraded to 10.1 of FCPX and now all of my Apple sound effects/loops were gone from the music tab. I see iTunes only and can't find any way to locate my Apple files. Where did they go and how can I get them listed in my drop down menu again along with my iTunes library?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Launch GarageBand (or Logic).
Close it and reopen FCP X where you should now find your loops.
Thank you for the help, however I still only see iTunes and it's contents listed in my Music and Sound tab/drop-down menu. Before the upgrade I had a Library listed that included my Garageband loops, the Apple loops and also a substantial library of sound effects that I thought were native to FCPX. All of these are gone and I can't find any way to navigate to them through FCPX and the Music and Sound tab.
Trash the preferences with this free app and launch FCP X to see whether the loops have appeared.
If not repeat the original process I described.

Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.
Thanks Ian. That fixed it for me.
In a different thread with the same question it was added that you should restart the CPU after opening and closing garageband. It also mentioned that it might need to be done more than once...? Worked for me perfectly the first time around.
Thanks guys, this fixed it for me as well. I did not have garage band so I downloaded it since it is free anyway.
Where did my Library go in 10.1?
