Where do I find Loops folder in 10.9.2

all of my GarageBand Loops.

Are you asking about the loops you created or the loops that came with GarageBand?

The loops should be in the same place as for previous GarageBand versions:

GarageBand, Logic: Where loops get installed

On my Mavericks System I am seeing the loops I created in the user library in my home folder:

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/

And the loops that came with GarageBand in the system library folder directly on the System drive:

/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/

I went to ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/... Is there no longer one folder with all of my loops in it? I have over 3700 loops and if I'm seeing things correctly are they all broken up into many files?

I think, you may be looking at the System library and not the User library. The Loops folder inside the System Library "/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/" is organized by packages. My Loops folder in the System Library looks like this:

But the "User Loops" are still one single folder inside the library.

BTW the only way I could find the "Library" folder was by doing a search... Where does the folder actually exhist?

Startin with MacOS X 10.7 (Lion) the user library has been hidden from the user and is invisibly. In MacOS X 10.9 you can make it visible again:

• Quit GarageBand .
• Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the Finder "View options". Enable "Show Library Folder".
• Then open the Home folder - you will now see the "Library" folder permanently again.
• Open the Library folder inside and navigate to

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/

You are welcome, Harry.

It is now gone, is there somewhere within the operation system to get the scroll bar back?

In the "System Preferences" > "General".

Set "Show Scroll Bars" to "Always".

This will bring the scrollbars back, but not the stepping arrow tips. The arrows are gone for good.

With Mavericks, it helps a lot to connects a trackpad. Most interaction is now optimized for trackpad gestures.

No problem Harry!

If you just upgraded from Snowleopard, this pages might give you a few pointers to the changes that came with Lion and later, scrollbars, hidden libraries, etc.

Hi I do not have a 'User Loops' folder, but I have made and saved my own loops? Where else could they be?

Any loops you save with"Add to Loop Library" will be installed in your User Library ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles/ .

Are you sure you looked in the hidden user library in your Home folder and not in the system library at the top level of your system drive?

Hi please can you tell me how to get there?

I really have no idea where you are talking about 😕

Thanks 🙂
