Can't open GB files in new user account

I created a new user account just to use GarageBand as I've seen recommended here. I gave the new acct. permission to use the GB app.
I copied the GB folder with all the project files from my Home>Music folder to the new account's Public folder (Finder won't allow me to copy it to the Drop Box in the Public folder). I had to enter my admin password to do this and it took a few minutes to copy all the files.
Then I log out and open the new account and I move the GB folder from the Public folder to the Home>Music folder. But the projects won't open. I can see the red minus sign next to each file and the error message that comes up says the format is not correct.
What have I done wrong?

i used two machines, one for recording (a wee 800Mc iBook with 640MB and a FW drive), and another for mixing and Mastering (a 2.1Gc iMac, at the time).
the iBook could handle around 12-14 recorded tracks, and when it came to the heavy lifting (mixing/Mastering), the iMac handled a couple of projects that grew to around 54-55 tracks without any problem, so I never found myself in a position where i needed to do anything special to get what i needed to do done.
the only special thing i did was always log-out/in to the iBook before a recording session so that i was working from a clean slate.

  • I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

    I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

    You would need to update to PSE 12, or just keep using the DNG converter. Your camera requires ACR 8.4, which isn't compatible with PSE 11. It's also not compatible with PSE 12 if you are running Vista or XP.

  • Random pitch change of Virus TI since opening Logic 8 in new user account?

    Earlier I set up a new user account and opened Logic 8, it said it needed to scan for.. I think plugins. Ive since opened Logic in my regular user account, and all the Logic channels using the Virus have a weird pitch change. Ive moved the notes around and cant find the right ones so its def pitch.
    Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

    Hey Mike,
    I was a cLab / Notator user back in the day. On Atari,. Then on Windows. Then when Apple bought them out, I cross graded to a G4 (about 10 years ago) - developed 3 musicals, fully scored notation, etc. The G4 Died, so I invested in a shiny new MacPro tower last year.  Am on Logic Pro 9.x.x (whatever the most current version of 9 is)
    Was on Snow Leopard,  Now upgraded to LION.
    Got a request for one of my old pieces and went to load it for print... I got the:
    "The format of this file is not compatible with this Logic Pro version.  Please load first into Logic Pro version 7.2.1 or earlier"
    I started trying to open other files and the older ones don't even give an error, they just fail without message. Some that I opened (when I suspect I was at 7.0) open fine.  Some give the message above.
    I did not keep my older versions of Logic around. Didn't see the point, nor would I have imagined Apple making this product NOT be backwardly compatible.  The music industry is dredged in use and reuse of old material, and this is extremely ignorant of the Logic Pro team to do.
    I really can't uninstall LION at this point, either.
    I have probably 50 files that fall into the "can't get there from here" category now.
    Thoughts / Solutions?

  • Copy files to new user account

    Hi,
    When I first installed OS Mavericks, my macbook got super slow. Mail and actualy everything with a connection to iCloud froze my computer. After some searching I found that creating a new account was the sollution. Since I have created a new user account everything goes ok again. I just can't get my files from my old account to my new one. Every time there comes a forbinen sign on the folder.
    I tried to copy them via my Root user, and via the shared folder in the User folder, but nothing helps.. It's probbebly very easy, but i can't find it.
    Any help?
    Regards,
    Maarten

  • Migrated files and New User Account

    Hello,
    New Mac user here.  I successfully migrated all the content from my old PC onto my Mac Mini and it was put into a new user account.  I'd like to transfer this content into the Admin account and delete the added user.  What's the best way to go about doing this?  Thanks so much!

    Use Quicktime Player version 7 instead of Quicktime 10.
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

  • I can't open downloaded files because other USER Profile defaults

    I inherited a laptop using Vista, which has Firefox vs.27.0.1.
    I set up a new user profile for Firefox, using my name.
    When I download a file, it shows up in the download section (the arrow at the top right of the address bar)
    When I click on it and open it...another Users information appears c:/USERS/ADAM/DESKTOP/DESKTOP
    The file tries to open and then disappears.
    How to I change my setup so that I can download AND open files without them being blocked by the original user?

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • Move Files To New User Account.

    Hello,
       I set up a new account with admin access and noticed that I didn't have access to all data like movies, documents as well as app registrations! I would like to move my files to the new acc and delete the old one. Should I move the support files and delete the old acc, or should I start over?

    As an admin user, you can change the permissions on the folders. Use "Get Info" on the folders and at the bottom add yourself as a new user. You'll need to click on the padlock to unlock it. And, after you add yourself, click on the little star dialog box and select, "Apply to all enclosed items..."
    What was wrong with the old user account? Why did you add a new one?

  • How can I change Aperture permissions for new user account

    I migrated my old user account (Ezra) to my new Mac mini from my old MBP laptop, but it would not allow me to keep the same name, (Ezra) so I picked a new one (Karyn). The problem is that now I can't access any of my other Aperture Libraries on my external storage array (Drobo) due to permissions errors. What is the best course of action to get back to working with Aperture? Is there a way to change an existing user account name to match what it used to be? I want the (Ezra) account from the Mac mini to eventually migrate to a freshly purchased Macbook Air later, then I could delete it from the Mac mini to rid the problem of duplicate user account names.

    Sounds like when you installed the new system you created a user account on it and then used migration assistant to copy over the files from the old system,. IS this correct?
    If so you will have other problems down the road with other applications also. The best thing to so if you still have the old system and have not done to much work on the new system  is to redo the install and use setup assistant. This way your old account will be brought over to the new system and you will not have permissions problems.
    You can try one thing. Do a Get Info on the Drobo Drive and see if at the bottom of the Info window you see this:
    If that is there for the drive (and I don;t know if the Drobo will have this option) you can select the box and you might be able to get at your libraries.
    As I wrote however, even of you fix this problem there is a good chance you will run into others later on.

  • Transferred backup file from old to new laptop but can't open backup file in new iTunes

    Hi
    I've purchased the new iPhone 5, however, it won't allow me to backup from my iTunes from my old laptop (where my 4S's backup was) because iTunes 10.7 can't operate on OSX 10.5.8. So I transferred the backup file onto my new macbook air. When I plugged my new phone into the laptop and opened up iTunes, where can I find the option to set up my phone according to the backup that I transferred to the new macbook?
    Thanks!

  • Updated my server to OS X Mountain Lion - and now I can't open pdf files, that my users share on wiki.

    Hi!
    I've updated my mac mini lion server to mountain lion server. I have an exentsive use of wiki in my education environment. Everything looks great, except, when uploading an PDF file to the wiki document folder I can no longer download the file - I can preview the file on the wiki page, but I can no longer download the file to my iPad / iBook.
    Come on Apple - you did not remove that feature!!!!
    Oh - the same problem comes to pages documents etc.
    What to do - my students starts monday - do I need to role-back my server?
    Kind regards,
    Martin Rise Christensen

    The problem is not in the Wiki itself but in the frontend version that gets displayed when you browse it from an ipad.
    The webpage looks different on the ipad because of that. If you use another browser on the ipad and you get the "default" frontend you can upload just fine.
    You can also disable this ipad version alltogether but you have to go in modify the code to do it. This will display the "default" frontend for every device.
