Garage band crash at start up (2.0)

hi. i have a power pc ibook g4 1'42 ghz with 1.5 Mb ram. usually i work with logic pro & ableton live, but sometimes i prefer to start a project with an idea on garage band.
suddenly, the application started to crash, with no apparently reason. the only thing i remember is i installed some audio units plug-in pack before that happened, but i do not know if due this plug-in pack maybe the garage band stop to work. i've tried to uninstall manually the app. and reloaded again but nothing change, the application continues crashing down. i have send a report to apple in this matter, but i like to know your opinion as users. thanks so much, greetings from barcelona, spain.
G4 ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

Garageband is stable in all versions of X. The plugins are probably your problem. They are usually installed here:
Macintosh Hardrive/Users/(your user name)/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins
Check under the corresponding folder. (VST, AU, components, etc.) Try moving the plugins out of the folder and see if GB starts up normally. Place them back in one by one to determine which one is the culprit.
Expired demos are often a problem.

  • HT1338 why does garage band crash suddenly

    Two times in the last month garage band crashed when recording was stopped.  Any suggestion as to what may be the cause?

    When does it ask you? When you are sharing a song to iTunes? Then it will use this information to auto-fill the artist data.

  • Garage Band Crashed - any way to get recording back?

    Hello. I just recorded a 50 min podcast and upon stopping recording, I got a Garage Band error box that said something to the effect of "2gb file size reached. File will be saved to this point." Then I clicked OK, but the program crashed.
    1. Is there any way to retrieve recorded audio files in ANY way? I also edit with Final Cut and I know that even if that crashes, the video is still in capture scratch/render folders, even if the project isn't saved, so I'm hoping there's something I can retrieve for this recording.
    2. Is there a way I can auto-save while recording? I've recorded 50+ 50-60 min podcasts now (only saving 10 episodes in a single project file) and never had this problem, so now I don't trust my Mac for future recordings after losing this.
    Other project files I have saved are 4-5gb each, so I don't even understand this "2 gb" limit. FYI: I have 83 GB available on my Mac, so it's not a file-size issue.
    Very frustrated and disappointed in my Mac. Any help is appreciated. Thanks much...

    Found a Solution...

    In short, right click your crashed project file, then select "Open Package Contents." Recorded audio is in .AIF files.
    YAY! Thanks.

  • Garage Band crashes upon bootup

    Just bought a new MacBook Pro 15". I went to boot up and it crashes. Over and over again. Anybody know what gives? You'd think a new computer with the latest Mac OS (10.5.1) would work like a charm with MAC software. Wrong.
    --Mark

    having the same problem.
    garageband wont start and just crashes at the intializing window.
    i recently updated it to 4.1.2
    before this it worked.
    ive just bought this macbook so its not very cool that gb wont work.

  • G'day Matt Vass from AUS.  I just installed mavericks and now garage band won't start due to BFD folder invalid,

    Hi there, hoping for help pls. I just installed mavericks and now garageband old version won't start because the BFD folder is invalid.

    Click Software Update from your Apple menu  drop down menu.
    If there's nothing available from Software Update, you may need to purchaase the newest GB version 10.0.2 from the App Store.

  • How to make garage band updated after re-imaging your Mac Book Pro

    ONE SIMPLE THING FOLKS!
    1. MOVE YOUR GARAGE BAND TO THE TRASH
    2. GO TO APP STORE AND RE-DOWNLOAD GARAGE BAND
    3. START IT UP- YOU WILL GET THE SAME UPDATE 1.6 GIG THING
    4. DOWNLOAD IT
    5. THIS TIME IT WORKS AND YOUR GARAGE BAND STARTS UP NO PROBLEM
    THAT'S IT!!!

    My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
    Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

  • Does Guitar Rig 3 work in Garage Band v1?

    Under mac osx 10.4 (G5 with dual 2.5 cpus), I can select Guitar Rig as an AU but then Garage Band crashes.
    One time it crashed, I chose 'Try Again' and when I selected the Guitar Rig, the GR interface came up without the amp profiles (which I manually imported); it still bugged out and did not produce any sound or work at all.
    Should I upgrade my os to 10.4.11 and get the new iLife '08 for the latest Garage Band. I really love the Guitar Rig. I had the Mesa Recording pre-amp and the sim sounds 'exactly' like it.
    TIA

    In what way?

  • Garage Band = ever since update, CRASH when I select SNOWFLAKE mic! Ideas?

    I have done a repair permissions (nothing wrong)...
    But ever since installing the iLife update, when I start garage band with mic connected, it says SYSTEM SETTINGS for AUDIO IN and OUT, if I choose Snowflake, I get the spinning ball, then crash, no matter what.
    I disconnected my high end firewire audio interface, I uninstalled iHear, and all that's left is snow flake and the soundflower driver for iSHOWU as well as Macbook Pro mic / speakers.
    If I boot to external 10.5.2 it's fine.
    I have the problem with 10.5.4 and the latest update. Not sure if LOGIC is going to give me a problem or not. I have a feeling with all the snafu's and fun stuff of mobile me and new updates (what was I thinking) that somehow this messed up the system.
    Is there a way to uninstall the update? What would happen if I moved GARAGE BAND PREFERENCES, PROGRAM, APPLICATION support from 10.5.2 folders to 10.5.4 folders? Remeber the days when you could just drag something to the trash and that would solve the problem?
    Anyway, was just getting ready to really make 10.5.4 the NEW home, now I am not so sure as another snafu that shows up every once in a while is when I launch ADOBE it always says the program was moved and I have to repair, I never had to do that.
    Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?
    I really want to solve this and have no idea on how to do this.
    Macbook Pro 10.5.4, 2GB RAM, Santa Rosa 256MB GPU,
    Thank you..

    WOW.
    I have the same problem. I have a USB mic and ever since iLife update whenever I plug it in, and then choose in preference, GB crashes. Wonder if anyone knows or is GB not PRo enough that the users are mostly consumers and non tech and non pro users? I would think its pretty big as I know a full time FOLEY dude and while he uses PT he loves GB (logic more) but still like GB and I think GB is like KING of Podcasting. Is there something maybe we can try to pod cast instead of GB?
    I need help to as there us no undo in system install updates except TIME MACHINE which I think I really need to look into now, especially after having problems like this.
    Surely someone must know what to do, try, explore?
    Thank you

  • Garage Band 4.1.1 Crashes

    Yesterday I downloaded and installed Garage Band 4.1.1 after reading at iLounge about its support for making custom ringtones for the iPhone and exporting them to iTunes. I followed my usual routine when downloading updates through Software Update - repair permissions, download and install, repair permissions. Today I tried to make a ringtone following the ten-step instructions at iLounge and could not get beyond the main Garage Band window for more than a few seconds before it crashes unexpectedly. I restarted several times, repaired permissions again, tried beginning a new project, opening an existing project (the one I named and saved from trying to start a new one), but nothing works. It crashes within seconds of opening its main window each and every time.
    After talking to a Mac friend of mine later today, I went looking for, downloaded, and installed iLife Support 8.1.1, of which I was not previously aware. Still no change - crash, crash, crash.
    The crash report for sending to Apple, among a LOT of other things I don't understand, says "Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000 Thread 0 Crashed:"
    I have no idea what that means.
    I upgraded to this Mac Pro in mid-October from my old 733 mHz G4 and this is the first problem I have encountered. This is also the first time I have tried to use Garage Band, which came pre-installed on the computer along with the other iLife '08 applications, so whatever is crashing it could have been present in the 4.1 version before I installed 4.1.1 for all I know.
    Does anyone out these know what is going on and what I might do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.

    How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.
    Once it started, it just shows it's progress and there's no option I can find to stop the download.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether it works, Try "Restore Sound Library" in Menu.

  • How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track?

    How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track? Thanks.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You can drag any region by grabbing it in the middle of the upper area with the highlighted name of the region. However, if you move it towards the end of the track, the length of the track will get longer, to accommodate the extra part of the region. DO you want to speed up the region, to shorten it or do you want to trim it? You can simply grab the right margin of the region and drag it, to make the region shorter.

  • Garage Band '11, version 6.0.5 will not change key after new project is started

    Garage Band '11 version 6.0.5:  Cannot change key after new project is started.
    It has always worked ok prior to this. And I have had other issues. How do I reinstall Garage Band '11?
    I have looked in downloads, but can'ty find any download file. I had upgraded to Mac OSX 10.6.8 couple years back, which included
    Garage Band '11, a new ITunes & new IPhoto.

    Before reinstalling I'd try HangTime's fix for "oddball" problems and delete the User preferences and repair permissions, see the FAQ:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    The GarageBand 6.0.5 update is here: 
    GarageBand 6.0.5
    If you want to reinstall, install again the GaragaBand application from your installation disk and then upgrade again to 6.05 using the link above or Software update from the Apple Menu.

    Hi vickkjayy11 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Just to be clear, we are a peer to peer support community and have nothing official to do with Apple.
    So to your problem, when you say:
    "I reset my macbook pro a few days ago"
    What exactly happened? Did you have a Time Machine backup?
    Read this:
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    It would help to know the exact model (size and year) and which OS you're using.

  • I am new to Garage Band and was previously using sound forge on my PC to edit music for my Figure Skating students.  Is there a basic tutorial I can read to get started, nothing seems the same.

    I am new to Mac and Garage Band and was wondering if I can use this program to edit existing tracks downloaded from i-tunes etc.  Is there a basic tutorial to get me started?  I edit music for figure skaters so it is relatively basic, fading in/out, cutting and pasting etc.
