GarageBand does not open, but it's a bit bouncy....

Here's the dilemna: I need to create some stuff for my teacher for our Yearbook/Yeardisc, and I was going to use GarageBand to do this with. (Already know how, just hoping this will provide some incentive to help some random loser in another state as you reading the forum's post)
PROBLEM!
Garageband, like it's iLife partner iMovie HD, does not open. But it does bounce in the dock, like any other application that decides to open.
About half a minute later, bouncing stops.
Application does not open.
I look at the info in the finder, ie, the version number and last opened, modified, etc. It says that it was last opened the day that I tried opening it. (And any other time that I try to open it, it updates.)
Solution needed. Details abotu my machine are given below; also! It's running two 60GB hard drives, if that has anything to do with it. Honestly, I don't know much about the details of the machine, as my father fixed it up. So if any helpful hints or tips can be given (or even a place to find and download another video editing program, or a program that can do the same thing as GarageBand -I think it's under podcasting, the thing that I want to do, but I don't quite remember for certain; we did the initial project several months ago-), then please do so!
Also posting a copy in iMovie help, since that's another alternative that cannot be used...
Sorry if my post seems a bit vague or too... difficult to understand, but I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
GarageBand Version: 3.0.4
iMovie Version: 6.0.3
I also thought I saw one of my peers using iPhoto to create a photo-vide montage, with music, but it was the finished product, so I'm not so certain.... If anyone knows how this was done, please let me know!
EDIT: I ust learned an important lesson. Brackets are used differently on the forums here.... Note to self....

Itunes 7.5 does not open, but it shows up in task manager please help?

please help its been 2 months already and i cant sync my ipod cuz itunes does not open but it shows up on task manager.
i have tried every thing but still it does not work. i have reintall my itunes and quicktime like 20 times i've gone to older version but still does not work.
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ HELPPPPP. im desperate and tired of liseting to the same songs for 2 months

Let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes launch failures:
Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
If there's not an error message, let's check your QuickTime (its well-being is a requirement for a functioning iTunes).
Go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
Does it start?
If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message?
If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
Do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?

Firefox does not open, but instead gives the error message, "Failed to read the configuration file." It has worked in the past, but not now.

I REINSTALL 10 TIMES SO DON'T TELL ME THAT!!!
I'm piss because i need firefox working again so i can finish reseaching my speech in 5 days.

Which files do you have in the defaults\pref folder in the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
See also "Other solutions":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Lightroom 4.1 does not open in win 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

When I try to start Lightroom 4.1 on a Win 7 64 bit it hangs during loading? Any ideas.

Be sure that you have a backup of your Lightroom Catalog, and your photos. The more backups the better.
Shut down and remove any USB devices from the computer. Try restarting LR.
If that does not work, use your LR Catalog backups. If one does not work, try the next one. (It is a good idea to keep several Catalog Backups.)

Firefox does not open but there is an entry in Task Manager

I've tried upgrading my gf's firefox from 3.6 to 5.0.1
Since then, whenever I click on the firefox shortcut on the desktop, nothing happens. There is an entry in the Task Manager but nothing else happens.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF, even trying 4.0.1 to see if that works but I get the same problem there. Which is what leads me to believe it's a software conflict...the problem is I can't identify what it is and why it only stops versions from 4 upwards!

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to Safari, WebProcess, or PluginProcess. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot.
Starten Sie die Konsolenanwendung (Console), indem Sie die ersten Zeichen seines Namens in eine Scheinwerferrecherche und in Blick unter „Benutzer-Diagnoseberichte“ für die Systemabsturzlogs eingeben, die auf Safari, WebProcess oder PluginProcess in Verbindung gestanden werden.

When clicking on a link in an Outlook e-mail, Firefox does not open, but Outlook crashes.

Could this problem be associated with a previous problem I reported involving SEND LINK command crashing Firefox? It seems as if the interface between Outlook and Firefox is not working properly. I ahve not received an answer on my previous problem yet.

I have identified the cause of this problem. Spybot S &D 2 Beta was installed on this machine, and it was the culprit. I have informed the vendor, and replaced it with production version 162 of Spybot S &D. The problem is no longer present.

Acrobat X does not open pdf in IE9 64 bit

Hello,
well the title sums it up really. When I click on a pdf link in IE9 64 bit, the whole Acrobat X program opens. I would like to open it in the browser. Acrobat X Pro internet settings are set to Display pdf in browser.
Thanks

Thank you for your answer. You were right that I was running 10.0.0 so I updated but to no avail.
I googled somewhat and some posts refer to the ActiveX folder of the Acrobat installation (although it was about Acrobat 7).
My ActiveX folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\ActiveX) only contains only 'SelectPageRange.ocx'. Should there be more files?
Can I check the presence of Acrobat ActiveX in IE9?
Thanks

Email does not open - "COMMUNICATION ERROR. TRY AG...

I bought NOKIA x2-2 Version 11.57 just a month back. Whenever I update email service and try to open email it does not open but a message comes saying "COMMUNICATION ERROR. TRY AGAIN LATER".
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks

Hi mhkhandaker,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
In order to fix this issue, I advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone: type *#7780#. Default lock code is 12345. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up, type *#7370# on the keypad.
Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
Then open the e-mail app again.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,
astra2025

Double tapping Outlook 2010 Calendar appointment does not open it in Lenovo ThinkPad Helix with Windows 8 Enterprise

I've found out a strange behaviour of Office Professional Plus 2010 (SP1) calendar appointments in Windows 8 Enterprise touch screen device (Lenovo ThinkPad Helix): if I try to open the appointment by douple tapping, it does not open, but in many cases
the appointment is just moved forward for half an hour. With normal mouse douple clicking works fine. Office SP2 does not fix the issue. So maybe this is not an Office, but Windows problem?

Hi,
It’s really a weird behavior. It’s not possible to write on the calendar items in Outlook by double tapping. Did this behavior change all appointments time or just the one you tapped on? Please log on the OWA and check if the appointment time changed there.
Meanwhile, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Start Outlook in safe mode and check if the issue persists. (Press
Windows key + R, type “outlook.exe /safe” in the
Run box, press Enter)
If the issue would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the issue.
2. Try reset your calendar current view and check the result.
Also try to change to another view (such as List view) and double tapping the appointment to check the result.
3. Do you have any other calendars? If so, please check this issue in other calendars.
Thanks,
Steve Fan

It's almost certainly too late.
The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe. After a catastrophe, it's too late.
