Audio file "086_Grand_Piano2_ped_f.aif" not found!

Garageband keeps telling me that most of my instruments can't be found. The message "Audio file “086Grand_Piano2_pedf.aif” not found!" comes up on 50% of my instruments but with different .aif files. The files are the ones telling Garageband what sound it should give the MIDI signal coming from the keyboard.
I have a Yamaha USB keyboard attached to my 13" MBP running OSX 10.6.5 and iLife '09. I have no idea where the files have gone since i havent been using GB for a few months until yesterday when the problem started occurring.

This looks like your Instrument Library is not okay. It sits in HD/Library/Application Support/Garageband. What do you see there?
Maybe it makes sense to re-install GB completely.

Audio file "Guitar2_GTRs2_MiXv3.caf" not found.

I am trying to play my second basic guitar lesson in Garageband, but this message: Audio file “Guitar2GTRs2MiXv3.caf” not found. keeps popping up. Anyone have any suggestions or solutions?

Hi,
same here. It worked right after I installed ilife'09. I watched the second guitar lesson and it was fine. Then I decided to update and after that I was able to download the second lesson again (two lesson 2 icons appeared). After the download there was again only one icon, but then the error with the missing file occured.
Very annoying, I bought Ilife'09 just for the guitar lessons and now I cannot proceed with the second lesson!

Audio file "Piano1_PNO_090109a1e66740.caf" not found

I'm trying to load Piano Lesson 1 in GarageBand and getting this error:
"Audio file “Piano1PNO090109a1e66740.caf” not found."
Any ideas? Thanks.

Try going to you home folder/Library/Application Support/Garageband/Working Copies folder, and deleting the files in there. These are temporary copies that save your place when you work the lessons, and sometimes the get corrupted. Next time you open the lesson, it should work, but you will have lost your progress.

Can't access some instruments in the library. For example the pop horns came up saying Audio file "YTBRASSA#2X01" not found! Whats happening?

I have just loaded this on my computer and it has done it from day one. Any ideas?

"Audio File "Recording#27.aif" not found" Error Message- Please HELP!

Hi Everyone-
I was opening a podcast today to finish editing it and I got this error message, "Audio File "Recording#27.aif" Not Found" - and, naturally, when I opened the project, half of a phone interview was missing (or, rather, it shows up as purple balloons but each one says "File Not Found" inside). This file is the audio from the interviewer (the interviewee file is totally fine, as are all others in the podcast). When I load the project it asks if I want to search for this missing file, but when I click yes it says that it can't be found.
How can I find this file? What happened to it? Thank you for any ideas, suggestions, etc. For reference, I'm using GarageBand 3.0.4 on a MacBook Intel Core Duo 2Ghz and Mac OS X 10.4.11

no, GB wouldn't delete anything on it's own. it only deletes files for which you've deleted the entire region from the timeline and then saved
if the file is not within the projects, i'm afraid it's gone, and i can't think of any way that could happen by itself B-(>
Well i guess I should warn others that copying and pasting is very dangerous stuff! I had two podcasts- in podcast #1 GB saved the interview file as "Recording#27.aif" and in podcast #2 GB saved a little intro clip under the same name. When I pasted the intro clip from podcast #2 into podcast #1 my interview disappeared. I didn't delete it- I was never asked about it, I didn't delete the region from the timeline, etc. I have to assume that since they had the same name, GB thought I no longer needed the "Recording#27" from podcast #1 and now I can't find it anywhere! If anyone has any suggestions as to how I could find this file I would be very appreciative.

Audio file "Male Narrator Noisy#05.aif" not found.

I just spent five hours editing a particularly annoying recording for a client. The project was saved and I was just about to export it when GB crashed. When I re-opened the file, I get this message:
"Audio file “Male Narrator Noisy#05.aif” not found."
This .aif contained 90% of the edits. I've look under the "media" folder inside the .band file and it's not there. I've searched my hard drive, trash, etc, can't find this missing file.
Can anyone tell me if it's recoverable at all or do I need start from scratch?

One thing I learned to do a while back was to avoid editing the original recording. I always create a copy of the original and edit the copy. That way if anything horrible happens (which often does), I have a backup.
In this case I did the following:
1. Right-click on the .band file for the original recording.
2. Select "Show Package Contents".
3. Open up the media folder.
4. In there I found the .aif file which was missing from the copy .band project.
5. I simply pasted that into the media folder for the copy project and PRESTO! all of my edit returned.
Hope that helps and that you have the original file on the hdd.

Audio file "Recording#01.aif" not found.

I recorded some guitar into garage band and then copied it into a new document and deleted the tracks from he original one. Now when I open the garage band file with the copied guitar tracks, it displays a message saying "Audio file “Recording#01.aif” not found."
Is there a way to find these sound files again, so that I can hear and edit them again?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

if you saved the original file, i'm afraid they are gone for good.

Audio file 'recording#10.aif' not found (message)

When I try to open any garageband files that contain real instrument recordings(purple recordings) I recieve a message saying "Audio file 'recording#10.aif' not found, or any other recording number... When the computer prompts me to search i tell it to, and then it comes up with the message "16 invalid region(s) changed!"
I have found the original recordings in the finder and have tryed putting them in the garage band folder...
Is the problem that the recording files have maybe changed location in the finder? If so, where does garageband send the files after they are recorded so that I can return them to there original locations?
Thanks a lot guys.

I once spent three days (long days) trying to track down and beat an "invalid region" problem, I finally had to admit defeat, nothing I tried could solve it.
where does garageband send the files after they are recorded
They are stored within the project you create. There are no scratch files.

After having spoken on phone to a technician (Apple support ) ,i followed his instructions which was to '' Download Additional Contents via the Logic Pro menu:'' ( I've Downloaded twice already) but the issue was unresolved ( '' EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)..
Then last night i tried : Via the LOGIC PRO MENU : Click on '' Download Additional Content then select ''Logic Pro & Mainstage Essential Contents'' click install .
It took about 2 hours and finally afterwards when loading song in logic pro ; steinway piano was still there but this time it worked same for Garageband & MainStage.

Getting prompt "Audio file "Male Voice#16.aif" not found", upon app startup

Hi -
I've been using GarageBand for podcasting for the last couple of years. But it seems to be acting funky:
For the last couple of uses, I've gotten the prompt "Audio file “Male Voice#16.aif” not found." Where would this file be found? I went as far as to try reinstalling but it didn't work.
This morning, while trying to record bumpers, I recorded my voice, only to find it recording at a much deeper register than usual. I had no effects on it, but it sounded as though the pitch was being bent somehow. Also, while recording my voice, I usually have the monitor on (while listening through headphones), and couldn't hear the background music that I use to assist in timing.
Any ideas on how to fix these issues?
I'm not sure if the two things are related, or not. I just need to get it fixed. I've tried reinstalling, to no avail.

"Audio file “Male Voice#16.aif” not found."
did you copy and paste between projects?
recording at a much deeper register than usual.
what equipment are you using?
couldn't hear the background music that I use to assist in timing.
were any tracks soloed or muted? have you deleted any tracks?

Audio file "Bass#14.aif" not found!

Hey Logicians-
I've misplaced my root audio files. I've tried using this phrase (Audio file “Bass#14.aif” not found!) and several derivatives thereof in the finder while highlighting my hard drive (complete search right?), but found nothing...same deal in time machine. Are they gone?
When I re-opened the first project to do some mastering, I selected "search" and the audio files were found. With the other projects I was not so lucky. All I see are empty audio regions.
Thanks-
J

Nothing in the "trash can." I downloaded EasyFind and scanned both my hard drive and the time machine hard drive for the first missing audio file that pops up when I try to open "Hide Your Love..." The file is "keys#12.aif" Easy find came up with about 20 keys_12.aif all referencing my old Cubase days. I did note that it only took a few seconds to search my hard drive (which includes my user profile correct?) but a good 10 minutes to search Time Machine. I've only been using this machine for about 7 months, and obviously haven't done much work, otherwise the search through the main hard drive should take longer huh? I wish I at least understood what happened. An accidental deleting is tough to believe since I did 2 versions of each song for the group, renaming each version and saving. I would have had to ignore some serious alerts to not have saved those tracks, furthermore, the audio regions exist...which came from something.
Fortunately it was not Keith Jarrett's final concert. Unfortunately, I may need to sit through the recording.....again.
Do unexplainable things ever happen computerwise?
Thank you Gents-

Help! "Recording#68.aif not found"

Hey everyone,
I was just in the middle of recording guitar for a song when I noticed GarageBand wasn't recording anymore and I couldn't hear myself play. All of my equipment was hooked up properly and all volumes were up. So I saved and quit GarageBand, reopened it and tried to record again. When it began to open my song file, a window popped up that said "Recording#68.aif not found". Now I find that I can't record anything on any of my other songs either! It looks like its recording but won't playback any sound and I can't hear anything in the monitor.
What happened? What can I do? Can anyone please give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The iMic is a weird duck. To get it to work properly I plug it in, choose it in Garageband audio prefs (Garageband initializes the driver), close the Garageband session and reopen it. Then everything works.
The missing file, listed in your first post is a totally different story. It has nothing to do with the iMic. When you lock tracks, GB puts some files called recording.aif 1, 2 etc. in the Garageband package. These are basically a mixed down version of the track so GB can save cpu power to render the track. I have found that if I unlock all tracks I can safely delete these files and the .band file is smaller. If I lock tracks again new .aifs are created. In general, it is not good practice to mess with the Garageband package. A corrupt package will cause the session to not work.
If you have gotten the track to work you might want to do the save as archive option to make sure you have saved the track properly.
