Re: Garageband II keeps redownloading, but never opens...

After GarageBand has completed downloading and installing all of it's extras, remove the GarageBand preferences file and relaunch GarageBand.  This took care of it for me.
To do this in the Finder:
Select Go -> Go to Folder...
Type: ~/Library/Preferences
Locate the com.apple.garageband.plist file
Move it to your desktop.
Relaunch GarageBand.
This should take care of this problem.

  • Why does Firefox keep installing Miro with every new update ?

    Some months ago I downloaded Miro, although I never made much use of it.After the recent Firefox update to 3.6.4 I noticed that used memory suddenly jumped by around 20 % and when I investigated in Resource Monitor I found that Miro had started running 2 processes in the background which were consuming considerable resources. I also found that my address bar had been hijacked by a change in the keyword:URlL setting. None of these problems had come up prior to the 3.6.4 update. I uninstalled Miro, restored my keyword setting,and successfully killed it's processes. I used Revo uninstaller pro and I am certain that nothing was left behind. But after the next Firefox update to 3.6.6 I noticed a sudden jump in memory usage and then discovered that Miro had re-installed and had begun running the same 2 processes. I have now gone to considerable time and trouble to deal with this problem twice in one week and I would appreciate an explanation as to why Miro is re-installing every time i update Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I udated to 3.6.4, then 3.6.6

    firefox keeps installing and uninstalling java on my windows xp pro computers. I hope this gets addressed before I switch to chrome.

  • Why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac

    why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac?

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Itunes v 11.1.5 keeps installing over and over

    When I install itunes v 11.1.5 it goes through ok, the program works but I keep getting the apple software update asking if its ok to install the same version.  I have said yes about five times and it keeps installing it over and over.  How do I check the version on my itunes and how do I stop this update for the same version I supposedly already have?

    Hey rvrivas!
    This article will tell you how to find out which version you are using in iTunes:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1208
    If you are already upgraded to the newest version and the issue continues, you may need to completely uninstall and reinstall iTunes on your computer, a process which affects your iTunes software but leaves your music files intact:

  • The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates.

    The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates, but am not positive. Has anyone else expierenced this?
    I know it was a clean install where I deleted all the support files as well.
    (Running 10.9 on an intel i7 iMac.)

    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The Mac App Store (MAS) can see MAS apps installed on other partitions and drives connected to your Mac. If you are see the the MAS thinks your apps are installed then that is likely what is occurring. So rither copy the apps from the drive or partition to your Mac or disconnect the drive where they are installed to redownload them form the MAS again.

  • Photoshop 6 (Subscription, standard ed) download problem. Keeps installing Ps 6 extended trial.

    Hello all
    Yesterday I purchased a subscription (year long plan)  to photoshop 6. Evereything seemed to get fine. I got the email with confirmation and download instruction. Followed the instructions, but the adobe app manager keeps installing (tried three times now) trial version of the photoshop 6 extended. I have been going trough the discussions over and over again trying to find a fix but haven't found one.

    OK, FINALLY found a solution. And I'm sure this concerns everybody in the the non english areas so spread the word. When you open the adobe application manager, before installing anything check your presets (upper left corner of the adobe app window, arrow next to your adobe ID)  to make sure that the preset language is the same as the one in the product you ordered/subscribed to.
    In my case, when I subscribed to photoshop I selected the english version. But once I started installing the software the app manager had automatically set the language as finnish so I was installing a product I wasn't subscribed to and therefore it installs the trial version of the ps extended instead.

  • Adobe reader DC keeps installing over 11

    Use Reader 11 and lately every time I return to my computer, Reader DC is now the default reader. I did not want to change from 11 so I remove DC and reinstall 11. the next day I return to my computer and DC is back !!
    I do not like DC, do not want to use DC, I want 11 to be my default. Is there a reason DC keeps installing over 11??? Can I stop this somehow? I do NOT want to use DC, I do not like its interface nor any of its "improved" features, I just want to stay with 11 and be left the h*ll alone by DC.
    Can anyone shed some light on this??
    I have to go now, have to again remove DC and reinstall 11

    Thank you, it is all good except the third step. I do NOT want DC on my system, I only want version 11 and no further since my other software does not play well with DC including my Chrome browser. I did follow the steps you mentioned and still DC managed to install itself over 11 so I had no luck keeping it from returning. Even if you tell it not tu update it does whatever it wants anyway. My current solution, which is a bad option but I have no choice, is to install a different brand of viewer. I prefer to have Adobe Reader 11 but it only lasts for a day before DC comes in and takes over. I am not sure even the removal tool from Adobe can remove it. I have scanned my system for viruses with 3 different packages and found none. There is something about Dc still stuck there and it will not go away. I may have to go manually into my registry and delete every single Adobe key and sub-key there, that will take a while.

  • Do I need to keep "Install xcode.app"

    I've recently been trying to recover hard drive space so I've been using Disk Inventory X to scan my hard drive.
    I've noticed that I have two massive apps in my apps folder:
    - Xcode
    - Install Xcode
    I'm guessing that I don't need to keep "install xcode" around because it's probably just an installer and doesn't actually do anything, but before I delete it I was wondering if anyone knew? I haven't found anything on google.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response baltwo, I think I can elaborate a bit though:
    After a bunch more research, I found out:
    1. it's ok to delete the "install xcode" file
    2. one consequence is that it will stop automatic updates from coming through
    3. there are ways to mitigate the update problem
    So it's kinda lame that you need to keep a 3.2GB app around just so that you can get xcode updates, but you can actually use some tricks to convince the app store to give you updates. The best one I saw was to copy the app to an external hard drive and creating a symlink to it from your applications folder. That means that when the drive is connected the app store will think that the app is installed, and it will look for updates, but you don't have to waste 3.2GB of laptop drive space just for updates!
    I haven't tried any of this but I will tonight.
    Cheers.

  • Garage Band installed but also available in Mac App Store

    I have Garage Band installed on my Mac, however it is also availabe to purchase and download on the Mac App Store.
    Why is this so?
    What will happen if I download it? Will it install a duplicate?

    Maybe the one in the App store is the new version. Your PNG did not work for some reason.
