Logic Pro X - Loops won't reindex

The loops on Logic Pro X are greyed out and won't work at all.

I have seen other guides which say to reindex, but this is also not working. Some mention deleting a file called LoopsDatabaseV09.db - which does not exist anywhere in my Mac.

I have tried to reindex through a new user account that I created, which worked and the loops were no longer greyed out after this, but as soon as I tried it again on my own user, it crashed my Logic Pro X.

I am not sure if this is a permission issue or not, but I have Read & Write permissions for all folders within my Mac HD.

Can someone please help?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)

You may have run into this behavior due to the latest file system change.

Did you use to have Logic Pro 9 installed on this computer/system?

Read the article first:

Try this if you recognize that your Audio Music Apps folder is an orphaned alias:

Quit Logic Pro X.
Delete the Alias ~/Music/Audio Music Apps then create a new folder on this location and give it the name Audio Music Apps.
Open the Terminal and paste this code followed by enter:
```
open /.HFS+\ Private\ Directory\ Data?/
```
- A new Finder window will reveal your hidden content.
Copy the content inside the 'dir_######' folder and paste it inside your new Audio Music Apps folder.
Relaunch Logic Pro X.
