Garage band freezes when opening projects (new and recent)

So everytime I try to open any of the recent projects or create a new project, garageband goes to the load screen and freezes. I thought it might have been a corrupt file but I deleted all my projects and it still hangs. Any ideas?

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the exact same issue and I also just upgraded to Leopard. What's the word?

  • Captivate 5.5 freezing when opening Project Skin Editor Settings

    When I open Project > Skin Editor > Setting to adjust the font, my Captivate freezes completely.  My only option is to  ctrl+alt+delete to end the session and restart. I am using Captivate 5.5 and windows 7.  On the the fourth attempt, i received the fatal error message of "A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated...". Has anyone experienced this or have any resolution?

    I followed the path to the Adobe Captivate 5.5 folder and i do not see a preferences folder to delete....Any advice? 

  • XCode freezes when opening project after installing iPhone SDK 3.2 beta

    I have problem opening up existing XCode projects, and creating new XCode projects.
    If I open an existing XCode project, no window appears and XCode becomes non-responsive.
    If I create a new XCode project, it shows me the window to create new project, but after entering the project name, XCode becomes non-responsive.
    I've played around with the settings and found out that if I go to
    Preferences>Code Sense and untick the Indexing>'Enable for all projects'
    The problem is solved. But with that turn, I no longer have auto-completion.
    I have tried a few methods to solve this but none was working
    1) I thought the problem was due to documentation. In Preferences>Documentation, I see "Mac OS X 10.6 Core Library" and "iPhone OS 3.2 Library" showing "Getting..." all the time. I compared the file sizes of the docsets to my laptop (no problem with XCode) and there's a big difference in file size. So I copied these files from my laptop to the Mac with problem. This does not solve the problem.
    2) Clear cache .
    3) Disable indexing. Quit XCode. Start XCode and enable indexing. Then quit XCode and start project.
    4) Uninstall XCode completely with sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all , and then reinstall iphonesdk_3.0__snow_leopard_final. I verifed that I was able to open projects normally. Then I installed iphonesdk_3.1_with_xcode_3.2_final__snow_leopard_10a432, followed by
    iphonesdk_3.2_beta_with_xcode3.2.2. Problem comes back
    5) I tried to clear the files below but it does not help
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Xcode
    ~/Library/Caches/xcodebuild
    ~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/
    Anyone able to point me to a solution? Thanks

    Hello honcheng & welcome to discussions.
    I'd recommend doing a custom install during the iPhone OS 3.2 beta installation instead, and putting it into a separate location from the release tools...
    I would also suggest participating in the beta forums as well.

  • Freezing when opening project in CS5.5 Windows 7

    I've read where uses have been hainvg issue loading projects with linked objects like Premiere sequences.  I'm having such an issue where I can load 16% of the project and then Encore freezes and crashes.  I've deleted all the preferences and media cache files as described in one of the articles.  I've also loaded the project in Premiere before opening Encore to no avail.
    I had changed the media cache from my main OS drive to my drive with the most stoage.  Once that occured I have yet to be able to open this project.  I need it opened desperately so I can finish this for my client.
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit CS5.5 and yes I am the administrator of the machine.  This is the only thing holding me up as my project is done and is ready to be burned.
    Thank you

    Try trashing your preferences in the default account.  I don't know if you got to item 12 in that list, so here it is:
    12. Re-create the Adobe Encore Preferences files. 
    Some problems may be caused by a damaged Preferences file.
    To automatically re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences file:
      Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys while choosing Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number>. Release the keys after several seconds. The application will not start at this point, but the preferences file will be deleted.
      Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> again to start the application. A new preferences file is created when the application starts.
        Note: This procedure will not re-create the preferences for workspaces, zoom levels, or default library items. To do so, manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files. 
    To manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files:
      Delete the following folder:
      On Windows Vista: C:\Users\ [user name] \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\<version number>.
      Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> to start the application. New preferences files are created when the application starts.

  • Photoshop CS3 Freezes When Opening/Creating New Files

    My System: Mac OSX 10.5.8, 2.1GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    My Problem:
    It seems to be that if I download print drivers Photoshop will freeze anytime I want to open or create a new file. This problem arose when I downloaded a new print driver (unfortunately after deleting several others to ensure the problem was fixed). I was able to delete the print driver resolving this issue, but now it seems to be that anytime I download a new print driver, even though these previous print drivers had been on my computer before it freezes PS again. These previous drivers had worked perfectly fine when I had PS on my system before and I can't understand why all of the sudden now PS won't work with them.

    Because of a bug in the printer drivers.
    Photoshop asks for basic information ("name of printer",  "default page size", etc.) when creating a document.
    If the printer driver has serious bugs, then it may hang or crash at this point.

  • Mountain Lion freezes when opening Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

    Hi, I have a mid-2012 750GB MacBook Pro 15" (NOT the retina display) with Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
    As of a few weeks ago (mid July 2013), whenever I opened Chrome, the laptop would freeze a few minutes later. The arrow changed to the beach ball and could move, but I couldn't click anything and Force Quit would not open. I had to manually power down the laptop each time. I tried Safari and Firefox and got the same results.
    HOWEVER, I downloaded a basic web browser called Lightning which hasn't caused any freezes at all.
    But as it's a pretty crappy program, I'd like to have this problem fixed before I go back to college this fall.
    Any ideas? Any other details/info I should post? All help is appreciated Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

    Thanks for you reply.  I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer.  That's why I'm stumped.  I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password.  When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday.  It didn't recognize it.  I know I got my birthday correct.

  • When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

    somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

    Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

  • RoboHelp10 freezes when open or create a project

    RoboHelp10 freezes when open or create a project.  I have been working around this, but can no longer do that.
    I need to rename one topic within a project and cannot do that because of it freezing.
    I uninstalled and re-installed RoboHelp 10 this morning and it didn't make any difference.
    I'm using RoboHelp HTML on a Windows 7 OS.
    Thanks,
    Diane

    It is local.  No source control involved.
    I was trying to create a project. RoboHelp also freezes when I use the
    "Open" folder on the RoboHelp startup page or File > Open.  It does not
    freeze if I open a project by clicking on one of the recent projects that I
    have used on the startup page.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened

    Yesterday I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened, although the overall system stays up.  I updated to the latest Java and iTunes 11.1.2 at the same time. When I open Safari now, it pauses for a few seconds without going to the home page and then I get the spinning beach ball.  I get two messages:  One says that the plug-in for SplashID Safe has not been tested with this version of Safari (a message that I had been getting before the update and never caused a problem).  The other message says, "Crash Protection  It appears that Safari didn't quit properly.  Do you want Glims to re-open your tabs anyway?"  It gives me a choice to click "Cancel" or "OK".   I have tried clicking them (before the beach ball appears) and it makes no difference.  The version of Glims I am running is out-of-date. 
    The only available crash report is almost a month old and therefore is of no help. 
    I made a back-up with SuperDuper just before updating and can reverse the update if I do it soon, but I would like to get this working. 
    I would appreciate any advice.

    How do I uninstall Glims?

  • Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

    Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

    But it seems the OP has a setup where the media is on the external drive, and the library files are on the internal. This is what I refer to as a split library, Migrating such from one computer to another is not straightforward. Often iTunes will have some definite idea about where the files should live, and updating the setting of the media folder won't change that. If it requires a drive letter change that is usually not too hard, but sometimes there is another preference file that needs tweaking to indicate which of the old & new layouts for the library is being used. In more extreme cases I have a script for automatically making track by track repairs.

  • When opening a new tab, bottom row becomes "hidden" behind main window and only becomes revisible when tab on hidden row is closed.

    I have the browser set to show five rows of tabs, however, even on the third row (I have not closed enough tabs to test if this happens on the second row), when opening a new tab, the top of the webpage gets moved up to cover the bottom row of tabs, save for a sliver at the top. The only way to re-expose the tabs seems to be to close any tab in the bottom row -- closing tabs in other rows does nothing with the problem.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • MacBook Pro Freezing when opening new tab in Safari - MY SOLUTION

    All,
    I have been battling with a Safari issue for months; I have seen many postings of the same and similar problems.
    Problem when opening a new tab in Safari the computer completely froze up. Sometimes the curser still moved around but could not select anything, requiring a hard reset. Sometime the screen went blue and the computer reset on its own. Crashed at least once daily.
    I thought it might be OSX, Safari or Flash; however I upgraded each of those several times with no major progress. Note adobe is constantly upgrading flash and some recommended you should use their uninstaller before upgrading.
    One thing I noticed when opening a new tab was that the tab was a bit slow in opening, taking a few seconds with a hiccup to show "top sites." I got suspicious when I saw the lead picture of one site with a blank adobe flash warning showing up for a second or two... My system is a few years old but has a fast drive, lots of memory and is optimized for speeeed.
    MY SOLUTION>>>
    So I tried changing how the new tab showed up by selecting: Safari>Preferences>General>New Tabs Open With Empty Page. I think that worked but don't remember. I really missed the "top sites" preview. So I put that back and just killed the flash ridden site from the "top sites" (just open a tab, click edit at the bottom left corner of the tab then click on "x" for the suspect site).
    FYI - The suspect site administrator told the browser could be storing a corrupt cookie; I reset Safari and ran OnyX so am not sure if that is the issue but it might be a clue for others.
    FYII - I think the problem is related to flash implementations on some sites if that was not clear in the text
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Scooter!
    Thanks for posting a Presuming "SOLUTION"
    I don't have these problems as you described, but did you drag the Cookies.plist to the desktop and relaunch Safari an try to open a NEW TAP.
    What happens now ... is Safari handling opening a new tap from the TOP SITE window?
    Post back ...

  • When opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?

    when opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
