Once it has completed (it takes a while, as I said), go to the Loop Browser. It will take some time for GB to start up, because it's the first startup for this user. Give it a couple minutes to complete installing, and then start GarageBand in the admin login.
What you're seeing in that counting of GB and minutes is the countdown of the download and the install time. It'll look like this:Äownloading GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops Sudo softwareupdate -install GBExtraContent-1.0 Now, type at the ComputerName:~ apple$ prompt:

Fastest way to do this: Spotlight (Cmd-Space), type in "terminal" and hit Return key once Terminal is highlighted in the Spotlight list. You can change that in System Preferences Mouse panel if you want to.) It'll take a few minutes for your machine to set up this new user, so be patient until it's all logged in. Then, with Fast User Switching, I logged in as the administrator "apple." (You do need admin privileges to do this you may already have them in your own login, and thus not need to create an administrator login.) Gave it an easy password. I created one, called "apple" - do this in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. Next, you need an administrator login user. It'll open App Store, and that won't download anything, and it'll all fail. Click on any gray loop's download arrow, and tell it to download it now. (Hope I'm not giving up any state secrets here they didn't swear me to secrecy and others do have the problem.)įirst thing to do is go to GarageBand and make it go through its fakeout cycle telling you it's updating the loops. Anyway, here's the procedure that worked to get them to install. It is, the support person said, the one thing broken in GB '11. I called AppleCare about this, and it took a couple tries, but we got it solved. GarageBand will say it is downloading them in Software Update, but it will not do so. The problem is, GB is broken in this respect, and it will not download the loops, and the App Store will also not update the loops. The missing loops do belong in GarageBand '11, and have to be downloaded from Apple and installed into GB. It is not because you don't own Jam Packs and have them installed the missing loops are not Jam Pack content. Contrary to the above response, it is NOT normal, and the grayed out loops are not supposed to be grayed out.
