    I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again."  I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working!  If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this.  Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS.  I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything. 

    Immargarita,  Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store.  They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store.  I was not going home until it worked.
    Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started.   So... I qualified for tech support.  I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed.  Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work.  I have the good old PS disc.  I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
    When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support.  Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store.   BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
    The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor.  The download stopped once.  Then he continued it and everything is there now.
    Shame on you Apple.
    Hope this helps.

  • Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary"???

    Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary”???

    Thanks a lot, Frank. The lsregister did the trick! I am testing this on 10.8.2.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770 : I deleted the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist", and restarted the Finder, even logged off and on again; did not change anything. The file has not been recreated, so it may not be used anymore.

    The direct "copy and paste" from the post did not work: I had to retype it :
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    but then it worked like a charm!
    Cheers
    Léonie
    And btw: I turned on the "-v" option for the lsregister to see, what was going on, and saw plenty of error messages (error -10811); so I repeated the command with "sudo". After that I still saw five iPhotos. Repeating as regular user finally got rid of the redundant iPhoto entries. It looks like registering as super user may be causing this trouble.

  • HT1351 I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

    I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

    I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

  • Garageband was not able to install the new sounds

    I'm on an iMac 21.5-inch (mid 2011) running Yosemite; 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; 4GB memory.
    A few months ago, I uninstalled GarageBand. Now I'm trying to reinstall it. I can get GarageBand 6 reinstalled, but I would like to get working with the latest version. I'm able to download the latest version from the App Store with no issue. It installs with no issue.
    When I open it, it thanks for me downloading it, and then begins to download "an essential collection of sounds and loops." After a bit of downloading, it asks for my admin password; I enter it, and a few seconds later, it gives the error: "GarageBand was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install them again." Closing and reopening GarageBand just takes me through the same loop (no pun intended). When the window is open, if I click on the GarageBand menu in the Apple bar, nothing happens.
    It does not ask me to accept anything; I am signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID I have always used (it is the only one I have ever had, so that's not the issue). I am an admin on my Mac, so it's not a permissions issue. It's not a password issue either.
    Things I have tried:
    Rebooting into Safe Boot and opening from there; same issue.
    Repaired permissions (it fixed oodles of things completely unrelated to GarageBand); same issue.
    Creating a new admin profile and opening from there; it gives a different error, but the effect is the same.
    Removed the program, trashed anything remotely related to GarageBand (preferences, folders, etc), emptied the trash, restarted the computer, reinstalled; same issue.
    Installed GarageBand on top of itself, just in case; same issue.
    I can't think of what else to try. Help!
    For reference, here is a screenshot of what I'm getting stuck on:

    The solution Lijoesat posted above worked for me!
    First I found the private/var/folders/ (and then lots of gibberish folders) and singled out two garageband files and deleted them. This did not work.
    I then deleted everything which may or may not be a good thing, I am an idiot, I have no idea if these are extremely important files or not!
    I tried to empty the trash bin after but many files was locked and Garageband would still not install.
    I did a restart of the computer, emptied the bin successfully and tried to install Garageband again and it worked fine!
    The inserted picture show some of the folder structure, I deleted everything after private/var/folders/

    I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am now trying to add some presets to my  ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there.  From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

    Apple most likely has the same poor taste that Microsoft does when it come to defaults.  Microsoft likes to hide things like  settings, preset, folders etc from normal users  think the dumb or something else.  If Apple also hide things you will have to  make some system setting changes that will allow Finder to do it job and find it for you.

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

  • Connect iPad to MAC computer and get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device timed out.  ??

    Connect iPad to MAC computer and get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device timed out.  What is the likely problem???

    Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart the Mac and reset the iPad and try again. Use another USB port on the Mac if you have a free one to use.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • When i want to download the new version of iPhoto, i get this message : You can not update this software since you do not have the main version. What should i do ?

    HI,
    I got this problem : when i want to download the new version of iPhoto, i get this message : You can not update this software since you do not have the main version. What should i do ?
    IPhoto was already on my MacBook Pro when i bought it.
    Thank you for your help
    Thierry

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open App Store > Purchases, and see if iPhoto app is listed. If not, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 Apart from that, check that iPhoto is in Applications folder. If not, put it in this folder.
    If nothing works, remove iPhoto, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto free of charge

  • I have completed the OS X upgrade, restart etc. but when attempting to update 8 other Apps to X I get this message: WE COULD NOT COMPLETE THIS UPDATE  Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple?

    I have completed the OS X Maverick upgrade, restart etc. but when attempting to update 8 other Apps to X Maverick I get this message:
    WE COULD NOT COMPLETE THIS UPDATE
    Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.
    Help!

    Similar threads solve this problem by either creating a new administrator identity, which allows one to update applications, or changing the keychain prefs to Best attempt.  My issue was solved by adding a new admin user, and then updating the apps from the App store using the new identity.  Under my orginal user identity the keychain app would crash when I attempted to open Prefs.  After creating a new identity and updating the applications (iPhoto, etc) I found I was able to open the keychain Prefs logged into my orginal identity.
