Minimoog Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Complete install of Logic, after adding a few loops to the loop browser, I right clicked over the loop browser and selected "Reindex Apple Loops" All the loops disappeared. Apple prompt stating "no loops installed".. but they are installed in the audio/apple loops folder. Any idea how to correct this so Logic displays the loops ?

Jordi Torres Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Drag those folders and drop them on the loops browser. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimoog Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 thank you. done that. same result. "No Apple Loops installed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 So what happens right after you drop the folders on the loop browser? Nothing? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimoog Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 progress bar shoots from 0 to done very quickly. and no loops get imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragontheory Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Is is possible you have the Loops installed on a separate drive? I had a similar problem.... By default I unplugged everything... replugged it in and the loops were refound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi Torres Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 progress bar shoots from 0 to done very quickly. and no loops get imported. Try deleting the Apple Loops Index files (in the Finder) first, then? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perspex People Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 what happens if you create your own loop and add to the loops browser by dragging. you would normally see user loops by switching to the myLoops in the apple loops browser.

Perspex People Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 never saw this so guessing. maybe repair permissions on the drive incase that causes the issue? if not fresh install of Logic. any other solution may take longer. be very interested to see if that doesn't resolve it. i'm guessing as not many others have chipped in that no-one else has seen this?

Minimoog Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I always repair permissions, that doesn't fix this. I hate to use the word BUG, but I don't know what else you'd call this? Using the Logic menu I re-downloaded all the loops from Logic server, they all showed up. UNTIL, I right clicked in the loop browser and selected "reindex apple loops"....then they all disappeared again and Logic says. "No Apple Loops installed" of course, they are there in the audio Apple Loops folder where they should be. They're just not available in Logic.

Perspex People Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah sure something has went wrong lol! Not sure about BUG I think there must be a reason for this. Identifying that is of course not always easy. I still think its possible there is some permission issues causing this problem. cdid you recently uopgrade to lion or snow leopard? Can you check the apple loop index file and the directories for apple loops have the same permissions as the other files and folders in logic's install? as I said if it were me just due to time I would be looking to confirm this behaviour/BUG! by reinstalling.

Jordi Torres Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 i'm guessing as not many others have chipped in that no-one else has seen this? There's actually a couple of threads here and at the apple support website. Some people resolved the issue by try what was suggested in this thread. I would be looking to confirm this behaviour/BUG! by reinstalling. I'd try re-installing just the loops (nothing else) after deleting all loop-related files just in case. J.

Minimoog Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks again. Re-installing the loops works fine, what "breaks" this however is any time I re-index Apple loops, they all disappear. So then I guess,.......I won't re-index anymore. And yes,. this is a Lion issue no doubt as I have Logic 9.1.6 on my Mac Pro Snow Leopard and don't have this issue at all.

Minimoog Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Funny, this post got a "SOLVED" heading.......suppose it depends on what you think "solved" means. Reminds me of the joke. Guy walks into the Doctors office and says,... "Doc, it hurts when I do this"..... Doctor says... "Don't do that" SOLVED! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well, if you want we could move it to the Bugs forum and remove the "SOLVED" bit? I thought about it but then figured just to mark it solved since you got your loops back in the end. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimoog Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 no difference to me,...luckily I don't use loops much anyway. BUT,...how I discovered this was when I created one of my own. I added it to the browser, most of the time they don't show up unless you "re-index".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I added it to the browser, most of the time they don't show up unless you "re-index".... Yes, that's the way it goes...but it definitely shouldn't make your other loops disappear...BUG! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspex People Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 just on your last point. what happens when you close logic and dont run the reindex function whilst the project is open. does it add the loop or do they all go missing. this is quite strange but i dont have Lion to check. will watch out for that!

David Nahmani Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Funny, this post got a "SOLVED" heading.......suppose it depends on what you think "solved" means. You're right, and it's a question I always ask myself when tagging threads as "SOLVED". In this thread the reasoning was that you have found a way to get your loops back, even though you have uncovered a bug in the meantime. I think tagging the thread as solved will help users with the same problem in the future find your solution, even if it is nothing but a workaround a bug. I'd rather keep this thread here and marked as SOLVED but do feel free to create a bug report in the bug forum, with a link to this thread.

cliveports Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have exactly the same problem. reindexed, and now nothing. Drag loop folder onto loop browser..nothing. Identical setup as the OP; Loops are on the same hard drive etc etc. Here's the workaround... I deleted the indexing files, closed Logic opened Garageband, dragged the Loop library into Garagband loop browser and this time it worked. So I reckon its definitely a BUG (using Logic 9.1.7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks again,..tried that before posting as well. Deleted the index files,..dragged the loop folders onto the browser,...a quick scan on progress bar......"No Apple Loops" I just ran into this problem after realizing some of the Soundtrack Loops from Logic Studio days were missing. I tried adding them to the Loop Browser by the usual drag and drop method and it didn't work. So I decided to erase all index files and drag and drop ALL loops folders again. Still nothing, a quick progress bar and nothing. I went to check the Apple Loops Index folder and no new index files had been written, and that's when I realized something was not right with the permissions for that folder. I open the Get Info window and sure enough, good ol' uncle Fetching was there: I then set the permissions to how I have them for that folder in my Macbook Pro and was able to add all Loops to the browser without any problems. Index files were successfully written. I hope this helps someone one day. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TcTT Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 @ Jordi Torres How did you set the first line of permission as SYSTEM? I do not have that option. i can only choose admin or my user name. if I use my user name the apple loops still wont index Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hi TcTT, Type (or copy/paste) this in the Terminal, enter your admin password and hit return: sudo chown -R root:wheel "/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index" and sure enough, good ol' uncle Fetching was there What the hell was wrong with me that day?!
