Oh, no, I was mentioning SF 2's which are an instrument format that GarageBand supports. SF2 is the filename extension, and the SF part is short for SoundFont. You can kind of think of it like a text font. Text Fonts hold all the characters is a particular style, and SoundFonts hold samples of the instrument it is intended to mimic.
First thing to do is go to GarageBand and make it go through its fakeout cycle telling you it's updating the loops. Click on any gray loop's download arrow, and tell it to download it now. It'll open App Store, and that won't download anything, and it'll all fail. Quit App Store and GarageBand. Next, you need an administrator login user.

First, GarageBand comes pre-loaded onto all Mac computers. It also comes pre-loaded on iPad Pros. That's the most common (and only) way to obtain it on a Mac laptop or Mac Mini. It's not available for purchase or download on any other platform.

Garageband Download All Available Sounds Greyed Out

I've looked and researched every forum and help section on fixing this issue but to no avail, I see some people having success but they seem to have different situations. Unless I'm missing a step or something.
Here is my situation: I have OSX Mavericks installed on my iMac, I re-installed GarageBand from the App Store. I also bought the $5 loop in-app purchase. When I opened GarageBand and signed in, it asked if I wanted to download the loops and drum kits, so I clicked to download rather than cancel, it seemed to be downloading ok and after 2 hours the progress bar was filled up with blue but nothing happened, seemed like the app crashed, so I Force Quit GB. When I re-opened the app, I noticed the loops and drums were still greyed out, then a pop-up came up saying that it was unable to complete download and to check internet connection. When I go to Software Update, there are no updates showing for GB and the purchases tab shows GB installed.
I'd like to get these activated since I made the purchase. If I need to speak to someone directly from Apple, does anyone have a number I can call?
Thanks for any help offered.

If I need to speak to someone directly from Apple, does anyone have a number I can call?
There is a 'Contact Us' link directly on this page, in the lower right corner. On the page that will open look for the link 'Start your Request Online'.
Check the following things:
Do you have enough free disk space? The in-app purchase has 20.1 GB.
Do you have any firewall or antivirus filters active? Disable them, when you try again.
Try the download from an administrator account.
It may also be a problem with your AppleID and Region settings.
Did you buy (or accept) GarageBand 10 on your Mac with the same AppleID you are using to restore the Purchase? Did you buy GarageBand in the same country where you are now?
Check your account settings at the AppleStore page http://store.apple.com/us/account/home
Click the 'ViewAccount ' link and reenter (not only check) all billing address setting.
And then enable 'Express checkout', if it is not enabled.

Both the new 10,2 and an old 6.5 won’t perform musical typing — the window comes up, but it’s grayed out. I’ve uninstalled and redownloaded and checks the connections. I’ve turned it off and on again.

Refer the comments at the bottom:
The Filter only works on raster (“pixel”) layers.
Do you have 512MB of VRAM on your video card?
Duplicate thread. Original Adobe CC Filter/render/tree
Is it a system issue? That's strange because I have plenty of RAM. Any suggestions? Thanks
