Downloaded Additional soundeffects missing??

I was browsing the support over at Apple.com, and someone questioned after the update the sound effects are missing, just checked and yes, I am without the audio, and pressing download additional content yields no new content??

Any notice this after 10.1 update?

I didn't think this was the answer but I tried it and it WORKS to get back the sound effect library.

Step 1.) Open FCPX
Step 2) Close FCPX
Step 3.) Open Garageband
Step 4.) Close Garageband
Step 5.) Open FCPX

once you do this the sound effects will now appear there. I thought it was a joke until I did it and they came back . Hope this helps.

It came back after a reboot, funny as I never leave the laptop running, always power off, strange.
I do not have garage-band installed on the mac laptop.

Thanks for the tip

Fill out the feedback page. Yes, the FCP and iLife audio libraries are missing from FCP X 10.1's browser. I'm trying to track down what is going on.

Same for me. I have tried everything - launching Garage Band, Logic Pro X, iMovie and even reinstalling from the Apple site. The same thing always happens. The first time FCPX has all the sounds and effects. Close and reopen and they are all gone. I also notice I don't show my iPhoto or Aperture library anymore. I believe you have to do the same thing.

When I upgraded, I moved my 10.0.9 FCPX into a folder, then down loaded 10.1. Not sure if this had any effect. There must be a bug in 10.1 but some say that once they launch Garage Band, close it then FCPX it works the rest of the time for them. Not Me. I hope the Apple team fixes this!!

This worked for me! Thanks

That worked great until I closed FCPX and opened it again later. Then all the sounds and sound effects were gone again. I've tried everything but it's always the same. For example, open garage band close it open FCPX and they appear. Close FCPX and re open and they are gone. I've even had cases where I've opened and closed Garage Band, Logic Pro X, iMovie, etc and in some cases the sound effects don't even show up. There is a weird bug in 10.1

As a side note, did you install 10.1 over 10.0.9? I moved 10.0.9 into a folder then installed 10.1. That shouldn't have any effect but who knows.

I installed it over 10.0.9. I just checked my iMac. they were not there as well. After opening GB they were there. We will see if they stay there after some restarts.


Well I spoke too soon. They are not showing now.


Then I opened FCPX again and they were there. So I don't know. Will fill out the feedback

Thanks for helping me out! This thread has been v useful.
I tried the protocol you suggested, but it did not work. However, I opened Garage Band (and kept it open) and created a project. Then I opened FCPX and all my sound effects were there again! Yay! Seems they are still there too!
thanks everyone

Had the same problem and the Garageband fix worked for me too - what a strange little bug!

Nothing has worked for me. I even downloaded the FCPContent from the Apple site. It will load the sounds and effects maybe once then the next time I run FCPX They all vanished. I even redownloaded 10.1 and they all showed up the first time but on re-launching they were gone again.

There has to be some bug, either with PCPX or maybe even Mavericks.

This is very frustrating to say the least. I did send off a note to Apple on this issue.

Never even noticed the audio missing BUT followed the steps above and voila, they all appear again.. Thanks

The trick is are they there the next time you launch Final Cut Pro X. for me, they always disappear! Check and see if they are still there the next time you launch.

strange, I re-opened FCPX and they are still there, do you mean shutdown the machine and re-open fcpx?

No, just re-launching FCPX and sounds and effects are gone again. I haven't gotten photos to show either. I use Aperture. I've tried everything but every time I re-launch it's all gone again. There has to be a weird bug.

Hey, 1st comment in the forum.

I was able to show all my sound effects in FCPX (Big Sur) by allowing the app to access all my folders.

Go to Apple > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access and allow FCPX. No need to restart the app.

And voilá. It worked
