Can't open Garageband without ProTools running?

I cannot open Garageband by itself without having ProTools running at the same time. I'm guessing that it has to do with ReWire settings, but I don't know how to fix the problem. This wasn't an issue until today when I was using both programs simultaneously, and now when I attempt to start Garageband by itself it won't load fully until I open ProTools. Is there a preference that I need to delete, or a settting to change in order to make Garageband open individually? Thanks!

I guess I should have elaborated more, but I was kind of in a panic when i posted that first message. Anyway, I trashed all the preferences, and that didn't work, and i actually uninstalled and reinstalled garageband, and that didn't work, and i made a new user profile and tried to open the files there, and that didn't work either. Well, I did eventually get one thing to work, which was to open one of my project files, go do something for about twenty minutes, and then come back, at which point the project would be open. Obviously not an ideal situation. So, any thoughts anyone still has on the topic would be great. Thanks!

Can not open data grids or run reports in HFM

Hi
We created an application and have been working in it for weeks without any issues. Just recently once we open the app, we can longer open data grids or run financial grids. The system just hangs and we do not get an error message. Has anyone experienced this? We are wondering if it is a space issue on one of the data base tables.

Hello,
I would start by checking with your DBA to see if you have any issues with table space. Next, i would log onto the HFM servers and see if you have any errors being recorded in the Application Event View. If you do have errors in your Event Viewer, can you please post them?
Thanks

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
- I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
- My outlook express has no problems
- other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
- my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
- every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

Can I open garageband files in logic?

I am going to be upgrading to Logic Express from garageband in a week or so, and I have some more questions:
Okay, my first question is; Can I open garageband 08 files in logic, and if I do will they be mixed the same? And my second one is a bit more complex;
On garageband there is an option to place software drums into little bricks and make them into beats. Can I record real drums and map the individual hits onto a grid with Logic?
Thanks---

Yes.

Yes, though in a different way than in Garageband.

I can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

i can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

You don't provide us with much background infomation such as operating system version you are using, but usually when I see this kind of question it gets answered by:
QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. I recently helped where the person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files

As the title reads "Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files" - any ideas? Logic just says files were created by a newer Logic pro version, they were created with GrarageBand not logic so I don't know.

If you upgraded Logic to the latest version (9.1.4) you might be able to open them, in fact I think you can. Garageband is a subset of Logic, so the message you're seeing in Logic is correct.

HT4623 After updating my iphone through iTunes I cant open it. It ask me to restore my phone. How can I open it without restoring ?

After updating my iphone through iTunes I cant open it. It ask me to restore my phone. How can I open it without restoring ?

Go into your iTunes preferences and select devices (on a Mac it's iTunes > Preferences > Devices; on PC it's Edit > Preferences > Devices). This will show you any and all iTunes backups you have, including your phone. If you don't see any backups, then you don't have one in iTunes.
With iCloud, if you've got a backup you can view it using an iOS device that's logged in with your iCloud (apple ID) account. You go into Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and see if your phone is listed there. If it is, then you have a backup for it. You can click on it to see how large the backup is and what is backed up.
Don't be afraid to restore it. The worst that can happen is that you lose data. If you have a backup, then you can get that data back. If not, then you will have to start over, but your phone will still work.

Can I open an iTunes library running on a mac from a PC over the network?

I've got an iMac running iTunes with my main library on it and a Vista laptop on the same network, running the latest version of iTunes, with a blank library. Can I open the library on the iMac and use it on the Vista laptop without screwing it up on the iMac?
I don't want to change, remove, or add anything from the Vista laptop, just use the library. I know I can share the library out from the iMac and that works fine, but I'm running Vista Media Center and want to access my iTunes library from Windows Media Center. There are plug-ins for Windows Media Center that make this happen but they have to be running on a PC with iTunes running.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Assuming you have AVG then yes, a second patch has apparently been released to day which may resolve the issue. See this post for general advice.
If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't add it to the filename of the renamed file.
iTunes Library 2012-09-22.itl > iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library 2012-09-22 > iTunes Library
My advice has generally been aimed at Windows users, but if you have AVG on a Mac and that too suffers from this issue then it is worth nothing that at one point the iTunes Library on a Mac was stored without any extension. If you match the name of the empty library file you are replacing it should work.

Can't open GarageBand file?

The problem I'm having originated on my iPad. I had created a song, called 'My Song 8', which had taken my quite a while to put togetether.
Everything was working absolutely fine, until the other day when I went to open Garageband (on my iPad), and after the 'Loading My Song 8' bar had filled, the app crashed. I re-opened it a few times, but still the same problem occurs.
To try and recover my song, I used iExplorer to transfer the file to my computer, and I then tried to open it on Garageband there - however, I have exactly the same problem. It loads all the instruments, and the loading bar fills, then the app crashes?
I'm a bit stuck, and wondering if anyone knows a way to recover my file?
If it helps I'm using an iPad 2 (16GB), and have Garageband 11 (6.0.5), on my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
Thanks in advance.

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

Can't open Garageband '11 files in GB '11

I tried opening Garageband 2011 files on my Mac, which runs GB 2009 but I was not able to. It said I needed to update to the latest version of GB. I update to 2011 yet when I try opening the '11 files I still get this same message about updating to the latest version of GB. Why can't I open these files?

The versions of GarageBand (or any iLife app) does not use the designation for the calendar year in its version number. You need to check by going to your Application Folder; do a control+click (or right click) and click on Get Info to find the version number. [If your window view is Column View then it will be in the rightmost column after highlighting the app.] Check to see that the version numbers are the same. Typically, older versions of apps will not open files which post-date them. It is also critical that the Macs be somewhat of the same era so that the architecture is the same. For example, you would not be able to update GarageBand to the current version if your older Mac is PPC G4 with a low-speed (under 867 MHz) CPU.

Can I open Lightroom without upgrading my catalog?

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do a screen capture, so I'll try to type what I'm seeing.
When I click on the LIghtroom icon, I get a message box that says "Please upgrade the catalog file "Lightroom Catalog 3" for use with Lightroom 3. It continues "Lightroom will create a new catalog file in the destination indicated below. The previews will also be moved to the location and converted for use in Lightroom 3" Upgrade destination C:/Documents and Settings/...../Lightroom 3 Catalog-7.lrcat
There is a button to choose a different catalog, upgrade or exit.
When I open the button to change catalogs, it gives me one option, but when I click on it, I go back to the "Lightroom will create a new catalog"
My concern with upgrading is that I've a workflow for the catalog that's at C:/Documents and Settings/..../Lightroom 3 Catalog-5.lrcat Earlier today, I clicked on the dialog that resulted in a catalog at Lightroom Catalog-6.lrcat, but when I opened it, I'd lost all the listings for the Free Agent drive (usually G:/ where I do my daily uploads. I could still see the external hard drive (E:) where I save edited work, but it indicated that I would have to locate all of the folders I'd created on the E: drive. I saw only the default collections on the left hand side -- (smart collections, last month, etc.).
I finally was able to get back to Lightroom 3 Catalog-5, which had all the work, but I'm not sure how to recover all my collections and folders if I Lightroom creates a new catalog at a destination that has a different number. The problem is that now I can't seem to open Lightroom 3 at all -- when I click on Change, I don't see my catalog 5 in the default folder. I know I found it once before, and it became an option on the pulldown menu. But I don't want to have to keep finding it on the drive where I store it so I can keep my indexing and folder and catalog organization.
Lightroom 3 Catalog 5.lrcat works fine for me. My default for backing up is whenever I close the program, so I'm confident in it's integrity. How can I open Lightroom with the catalog that works for me --without getting messages that seem to force me to do an upgrade I don't want to do.
Thanks for your help!

I've been using Lightroom 3 for about a year. Right now I'm going
back to the folder with my backups and opening Lightroom 3 Catalog-5. I
think I've tried to reconstruct my left side panel with earlier
Lightroom 3 Catalog x versions. I don't have all the collections and
folders I had with my Lightroom 2 catalog. That catalog seemed to
have been corrupt when I moved to Lightroom 3. I don't recall how I did
it, but I guess I imported the photos and tried to start over with my
collections.

How can I open InDesign without getting a renew subscription message?

I am trying to open my InDesign software from my Creative Suite 6 Design Standard and i keep getting a message that says to renew my subscription to the Creative Cloud. At one time I had a trial version of the Cloud but I cancelled it and bought the software instead

If the answer is no, then you probably have to reinstall, but you'll need to jump through some hoops to make it work.
First uninstall the creative cloud in its entirety by running the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), then reboot and see if you can get the CS6 installer to run and ask for a serial number. If it won't ask for the s/n, go to Adobe.com and log out from your Adobe ID associated with the trial and make a new ID that you never intend to use again and log in. Run the installer again and see if you can get it to give you the s/n option.
If the answer was yes, see if you can re-activate the suite from the help menu ion one of the other apps.
