Where to download Apple AU effects?

Hello everyone. I'm having trouble editing something in Audacity that requires the Apple AU effects, I do remember that they worked utterly perfect, before I updated to OS X Yosemite in late December. So the only way I can retrieve these effects and files are by a download source. I have attached a screenshot regarding the effects menu. What I am talking about are the "Apple: AU<Effectname> presets.

I went to Users/my name/Library/Audio/Presets/Apple and there was absolutely nothing at all. Except for a DS Store file. So where can I download the presets? I need this for a project I've been working on. And I prefer to keep that as a secret.

To whoever answers and solves my theory, thank you so much. 🙂

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10), Might mention apps for help.

Did you try reinstalling Audacity?

Don't know if you ever got an answer, but I just upgraded to Yosemite and had the same problem. I found that the Apple: AU effects are already in Audacity but were not enabled. To enable them I opened Audacity, clicked on the EFFECTS tab at the top of the screen and clicked on Manage... This brought up a list of the effects. From here you can use the <select all> button and then the <enable> button and all the plugins should now be active in audacity. Hope this helps.
