In some instances after an update to GarageBand or Logic some of the loops don't appear and you may be require to re-index the loops.
Reindexing Loops means, GarageBand or Logic creates (or updates) a database that lists all those Loops plus their Metatdata. That database is called LoopsDatabaseV09.db which is stored in directory ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/LoopsDatabaseV09.db

Apple often release updated audio content with new versions of Logic Pro and GarageBand. When this happens, your datajar.mobi accelerator appliance may need to be "re-synced" so it has the latest installer packages for the new content, in order to deliver it to your Macs. Please raise a support request and ask us to re-sync your appliance.
