Garage band is not working on macbook pro

I just purchased a mac book pro that came with garage band.  I tried to open it today and an error message popped up and said that the program has an error - delete and redownload from the app store.  Well, first of all, I am new to the macbook - how do i delete and app?  And, secondly, when I went to the app store to install it, another message popped up and said that i have version 10.0 and that it was not purchased from the app store, do I want to purchase it? 
Help!!

Try a smc reset:
Power off MBP, power back on after shut down. Hold the following keys:
Left shift, contol, option, press these keys immediatly after start up be fore the start upchime ring, continue to hold till the gear stops spinning.
Reboot.
Hope this helps.

    I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

    I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

    If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    Here is again the short version:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > GO    hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
    In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
    Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
    The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

  • AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

    My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

    Did you ever find out what the problem is???

  • External Display not working with MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011)

    I just bought the current MacBook Pro 13" (i7 processor). My external display (Benq 20"W, 1600x1050) always says "No Signal Detected!". I've tried it with a DVI-Adapter (Griffin Video Display Converter) and with a VGA-Adapter (LMP Mini DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter). With lower resolution I once got a picture (but with weird lines). On my old MacBook (white, 2.16 Ghz) there was never a problem with this display (also OS X 10.6.6). Who can help?

    Check this post if you want more info:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2774718
    The gist is that DVI is currently very iffy through Thunderbolt. Mini display -> mini display OR mini display -> HDMI should work fine. It's most likely not your adapter itself but the fact that it's DVI.
    If you can, get a mini display -> HDMI adapter and try that (assuming your external has HDMI).
    I should hear back tomorrow or Monday from apple engineers with more specific info about this issue and I will update then.
    BTW- DVI anywhere in the chain will make things fail. Mini Display -> DVI and a DVI/HDMI cable won't work with any reliability (I've tested it on three completely different monitors).

  • External superdrive  is not working on  macbook pro 15 inch(2011 model) with  mountain lion

    Hi,
    I try to install windows in my macbook pro via  bootcamp, but since I installed latest osx mountain lion on it, the external superdrive doesn't work anymore( even if on the startup mode, hardware can't detect it). superdrive works on my 2009-2010 mac mini server. help!

    The USB SuperDrive only works on Macs without SuperDrive, so it's not compatible with your Mac. You have to use your internal SuperDrive to install Windows

  • TS4323 Bluetooth not working on macbook pro 10.7.5

    Hi Everyone,
    Can u help me fixing my Bluetooth on my macbook pro 10.7.5
    it was not working including my camera and the keyboard backlights..
    Thanks

    Your PRAM battery may be on its way out.  After 4 years that starts to happen, and that can cause all sorts of peripheral failures even before the clock is affected.   Bring it in for service.

    I cannot reset the SMC by removing the battery, I do not have the confidence to remove my battery, and do not have the time to send the computer to someone else to do it.
    I also tried updating my OS from 10.7.4 (Might've been 10.7.3) to 10.7.5.
    My computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010), running OS X 10.7.5 Lion.
    I need to get this problem fixed ASAP, any help is appreciated.

    I forgot to mention, I'm connecting the monitor via MiniDisplay -> HDMI. I've also tried USB -> HDMI and USB -> DVI -> HDMI but none of them seem to work.

  • Thunderbolt 2 external hard drive not working with Macbook Pro (early 2011)

    Hi,
    I'm new to this forum and I hope you guys can help me with this:
    I've recently bought an external hard drive that works on Thunderbolt 2 (LaCie d2 3TB). When I connect the new drive to my Macbook Pro through the thunderbolt port, the drive isn't recognized. However, the drive works fine through a USB connection.
    I thought that Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are compatible, however this doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it's because the OS X / driver / firmware version that I'm working on that is not updated? I work on an early 2011 Macbook Pro: OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Daniel

    Hi danielsh6,
    I recently bought the new Lacie Thunderbolt 2 D2 3TB and I had the same problem as you, i have a macbook pro early 2011, those support thunderbolt but many times there is a bug that doesn't let you connect any thunderbolt drives to your computer. The solution I found was installing this update:
    Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.0
    Before doing this I would recommend you updating to mountain lion (not yosemite yet as there is still some glitches and more on preview's macbook pro's).
    Hope this helped!

  • External isight not working with Macbook Pro early 2008

    My external isight is not working with my Macbook Pro early 2008 (2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 6 GB RAM, OSX Lion). It goes warm when plugged into the firewire port but is not recognized in system prefs (lists as "unknown device" and also does not turn on (green light. I tried resetting PRAM and all the other stuff as suggested here but no luck. It used to work fine on a 1st generation Macbook and I remember that one of the first times I tried it with this machine here it turned on for a few secs (green light) but then it just simply stopped.
    Unfortunately, I have no other firewire device to check the port.
    Any ideas, dear community?

    Our (old) external Firewire iSights can be sensitive to dust, shock, vibration, humidity, and other environmental factors in storage.  (I store my spare in its original plastic shipping case with a new desiccant pack on a solid shelf - never in a desk drawer or other container that moves.) 
    You have tried several good things and may be finding that your old iSight needs work. 
    Here are the alternatives I can offer.  Consider any you have not tried in any order you like:
    (1) You can try Apple's suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    Test in more than one user account and with more than one Apple softwre application.
    (2) My expanded suggestions here: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
    (3) Reset Firewire ports using the info from this old archived Apple article: http://web.archive.org/web/20090331211534/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
    (4) If you have no local Apple Authorized service Provider who can help you, other service options are here: http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
    (5) Consider a new USB cam with current warranty such as one of these: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
