downloading garagebands extra sounds

Which GarageBand version are you using? Is your profile signature "iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)" still valid?

Steven 16658. I have had a similar problem.

Each time I open garage band i get a message that reads "17 drummers and 1500 loops need to download". It is 1.1 gigs of data.

I download, say yes to the install and next time I open garage band, I am back to square one.

all updates have been applied.

Macbook Pro, mid 2014, 15-inch Retina, 2.5 Ghz intel i&,16gb 1600 DDR3,

Garage Band 10.1.0

any and all thoughts are both welcome and appreciated.

Regards, D

There are many possible reasons for a download not succeeding, for example,

• if a firewall or anti virus software is interfering with the connection to the AppStore. Disable firewalls like Little snitch.
• or the Mac might be falling asleep and causing time outs - disable the energy saver while trying to download.
• You may have incompatible software installed - try to download after restarting the Mac in Safe Mode: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
• You may have a problem with your home folder ownership or permissions and need to repair those. The Yosemite update may have messed up ownership, permissions, and access controls.

See Linc Davis's post how to reset this:

Thanks for your help.

I tried all of those steps, in order, and then followed "lincs" also.

Nothing ....

Then I posted this in the forums:

Again, Nothing ....

Actually, that is not 100% accurate.

I did get to experience firsthand the frustration and aggravation a software engineer with a deadline and a rascally bug must go through.

Kind of like a carnival ride dreamed up by Satanic pranksters.

The good news is you will never feel like the ride was too short, the bad news is your gonna have a bad time the entire time.

At some point last night I was so frustrated .... then I made a loose estimate of the amount of time I had spent on the problem .... then I was ****** off .... then I felt stupid for wasting so much time .....

Then I calmed down and ponied up the $ 200.00 for LogicPro.

So that's how I $olved it, I threw money at it. Works every time !!

Good luck to all faced with the same problem.

I'm glad you found a solution for you. 🙂
