GarageBand Error -10010

I hardly use my MacBook Pro, though it does have all my main apps on it. I used it to record vocals singing over music played by another computer before with no problem, but today when I tried recording and playing back, the error kept popping up to say my MBP is too slow and asked me to check out Apple's Help to optimizing GarageBand. All the suggested methods + googled methods didn't work, so I deleted and reinstalled GarageBand. It STILL had the same problem, except now it added the Error code 10010 or something like that. If I exported it to listen to it via iTunes, I could play it back fully (unlike in GB), but there was a "compressing" **** noise throughout the whole track.
I am recording onto my INTERNAL DISK not using any extra disks. Tried all methods since 2009 articles (same problems for them...) but to no avail.
My MBP is OSX 10.9, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB MHz DDR3.
What is the problem and how could I solve it? I've deleted A LOT of stuff on my computer and emptied the trash, and the same problems still occur.
Thanks in advance!

i having the same problem too.. this had impacted my whole working environment after upgraded into OSX. Typing also choppy, video playback also choppy.. i don't see anything good on this OSX so far on my MBP mid 2012. sad sad sad

GarageBand: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.

This error recently started popping up for me while using garageband.
GarageBand: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and Midi
Sample rate xxxxxx recognized
Check conflict between garageband and external device
When I use garageband, my input and output are usually set to my scarlett 2i2 interface and I've never received the synchronizing error before today. I am not using any Midi.
I've checked the Audio Midi Setup tool to make sure that my format is at 44100.0Hz and have set the "sound" in system preferences to use my scarlett 2i2 interface for input and built-in system for output.
Can anyone help me out with why i'm receiving this error?

Good grief! I'm on a Mac OS X and was having this same problem. All these discussions about so much technical jargon just had me exhausted ... not only did I not understand what was being referred to, but I couldn't imagine how to do what was being said.
Here's what got me straight:
1. Go to System Preferences and click on Sound
2. Click on Input and select your USB mic (or whatever you're using)
3. Click on Output and select Internal Speakers
Done. No more problem with Garageband!

Error 10010 CoreAudio

Hi!
I've got a session of 32 tracks (I've had much more before), 8 audiotracks and 24 audioinstruments.
When I try to play the song the moment everything comes together Logic stops and I get "CoreAudio error 10010 disk too slow or System Overload".
My audio prefrences are : i/o buffersize 1024
proces buffer range LARGE
I've also changed the settings but it still stopped at the climax...
Can anyone give me advice?
Thanks in advance

Blay-
Ive seen you answer on other threads. Do you have any other advice re: CORE AUDIO SYSTEM OVERLOAD (-10011) ? You seem to say to get another hd on the other threads as well.
I have two (2) G-DRIVE Q's hooked up to a SONNET TEMPO SATA EXPRESS CARD. I have 2 gig of ram, running 10.4.10 and Logic 7.2.3. I shouldnt be having this issue of "core audio system overload". My 500 gig G-Drives have all my media- my internal hd's are just running Logic. My plug-ins are on the ext G-Drives as well. My M-Audio Firewire 410 is on a seperate buss than the ext G-Drive hard
drives so that shouldnt be the issue. I keep reading peoples responses but they arent so true. Do you have any other words of wisdom or insight on this matter hearing my setup? Im just trying everything I can to figure this out.
Thanks

GarageBand error after data transfer that states "This song requires a newer version of GarageBand. Please update to the latest version of GarageBand before opening this song". Please Help!

I recently had a data transfer from my older mac to my newer one. After the transfer I logged into my new account and opened up my GarageBand. It worked perfectly fine, however when I logged into my old account with all my older data that I just transferred over, I could not open my GarageBand files and there is an error that states "GarageBand error after data transfer that states "This song requires a newer version of GarageBand. Please update to the latest version of GarageBand before opening this song".If anyone could please help me with this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank You!

When you transferred your data from your old mac, you may have accidentally transferred an older GarageBand version and either overwritten your newer version, or your old account still has the old GarageBand icon in the Dock.
Search with SpotLight, if you have more than one Garageband version on your new Mac (type "GarageBand" into the SpotLight search field). Does it list more than one GarageBand version? Then delete the older GarageBand.app.
What GarageBand version have you been using at your old mac, and what is the version on your new mac? If it has been bought recently, it should have come with GarageBand '11.
Regards
Léonie

Garageband error

I am unable to install updates because I get an garageband error at the end of installation. Also when I plug my IPhone up, my Macbook does not recognize it. I am also unable to update itunes, and my iphone does not show and itunes. I do not think it is the Iphone because I plugged my Iphone to my niece Macbook and it recognized my phone and updated. If anyone has any advice please help.
Thanks

Open GB's prefs and under the Audio/MIDI tab select "Built In" for both the Input and Output PopUp Menus.

Garageband error message 8 bit

Garageband had been doing well for us, until the other day when sharing to ITunes, an error message saying, 'unsupported file type, files found at 8 bit...', and i've tried everything to change the file types even online, to reset preferences, including the 'audio midi' and so on. Still it says that this song, which had previously been successfully uploaded to ITunes, etc., and which we're now re-mixing, will not let us do anything as far as saving or changing to 16 bits and so on. What is going on, please? How may we fix it? Thanks!
basically: how can i send the song to itunes where it can be converted to an mp3, since the error message occurs 'wrong file type ..8 bit' when i try to send the newly edited song to itunes.
i have, which is not on the list, a macbook pro 10.5.8 and garageband 08 4.1.2

Some of my aif files are not recognized by any player for some reason. All I did was transfer to an external then back to my new hard drive after it was installed. Does anybody know what could happen to an aif file to not make it open?
Do your files have the extension showing? If not, you could experiment adding extensions like .aif, .aiff and see if that makes a difference, and also slide the files directly onto the Quicktime icon, forcing Quicktime to open it if it possibly can.
I was curious about this so I checked it out. The Wikipedia page lists a few issues that could cause problems:

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is file corruption.

DCOM error - 10010 - Server 2008 R2 Standard

My server is generating a DCOM error with GUID : 995C996E-D918-4A8C-A302-45719A6F4EA7
I did some research and found that this should be due to Auto play being enabled, I disabled it and restarted the server but the DCOM event is still happening.
Another DCOM event is also generated by GUID B286F068-5B17-4AE8-989B-8F9A199C47BA which refer to an HP printer DLL, no one is having any issue with the printer so wondering why it is logging that event.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Hi,
Regarding to Event ID: 10010 Source: DCOM, please refer to the following thread. It provided the possible causes
of DCOM Event ID 10010.
DistributedCOM Error ID 10010

Based on current situation of this problem, please use
sfc /scanfile command to scans integrity of this specified DLL file. And then check the printer and make sure that install exactly the right drivers. Meanwhile, please find if can update
the printer driver.
By the way, you can use
regsvr32 <filename> command to re-register the DLL file. Then please monitor if the Event ID 10010 still persists.
Hope this helps.

Garageband error: 'out of memory'

i keep getting this error when i open a file, use a file, basically when im using garageband. every single time. i checked on another question where i found a temporary solution. something about changing the input/output of sound, which fixed it for a couple of days. then i kept googling and found that my 4GB RAM wasnt enough to support the capacity of work I was doing. so i then upgraded to 16GB of RAM which still hasnt fixed the problem. what can i do? thanks

16GB om Memory is quite a lot and should be fine unless you have big sessions of Play or Vienna Instrument loaded in your Project.
To check what is going on with your memory and how it is used, optn the utility app "Activity Monitor". It is located in the /Applications/Utilities folder.
Here you see all the apps that ar currently running and their stats regarding CPU and Memory allocation.
Also selct the "System Memory" tab at the bottom to see the overal situaion of your RAM.
Total installed RAM. See if your system sees all the 16GB
How much REAL Memory is currently used.
Check the Page Outs and the Swap space. If you are running a lot of apps (or Safari with a lot of tabs), your system will fall back on "virtual Memory" which means it outseources the storage to your (slower) drive. This is not good, especially for realtime apps
Keep that Activity Monitor window open and see how how your memory usage goes up with each instrument you load in GarageBand. Maybe there is a "bad one" that gobbles up all your memory.
Here is a screenshot of the Activity Monitor
Hope that helps

Disk is too slow or System Overload Errors(-10010)

Hi, It may have been a mistake, but for the 1st time in a long time, I updated my system and software two days ago, after which i tried to runm Logic 9. During playback, I am not getting a random error message that "Disk is too slow or System orverload. This is a system that has operated error free for the past eighteen months, no problems, until now! What really puzzles me about this is the part about "motion Sensor" ! My system is a Mac Pro Desktop unit and not a laptop, and definitely not equipped with and motion sensor(s) at least not that I am aware of.
Can nyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance

Did you repair permissions after the OS update?
** I don't know how**
To repair Permissions, in the Finder, use the Go:Utilities function, and run Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, select the boot drive partition on the left and click on "Repair Disk Permissions".

Free space on the OS and/or Project drive(s)?

So, are you recording /playing back your projects from your System drive?
This is not generally recommended. Instead one should really use an second (Project) drive either Internal (no good for an iMac) or external Firewire/Thunderbolt drive (depends which iMac you have).
Further, the error message you have been getting is a general "Disk too slow" and/or "CPU overloaded" message.
It would be worth keeping an eye on the System Performance meter in Logic whilst playing the project (Double click on the CPU meter in the Transport or use :Options:Audio:System Performance) to see if it is CPU or Disk related

Error -10010?

"Disk is too slow or System Overload."
This is the error that pops up when I try to listen to one of the logic express demo songs. What does this mean and how can I fix it?
I'm on a brand spankin' new macbook pro that I haven't quite figured out yet.
A lay-response would be much appreciated.

Hmm...I cant even find that error number in apple's own list
(see my post on another 'users' cryptic message)
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6568577#6568577
However I have noticed in my own experience that I often get this 'overload' message when simply plugging in my headphones while the track is playing, I get error -10011.
'System overload' The audio engine was not able to process the data in time'.
I then click the continue button and then the play button.
I suppose that doesn't help much, but in my case it seems to point to a problem with the audio-out device being used.
If i then follow my own advice and look in the console app I see a message from the console messages saying 'audio engine overload' which as you say isnt helpful at all.
I don't think it really is a 'system' overload as I can play a single track loop and get the same error. I think it is a 'bug' plain and simple. However at least see
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305927
do simple stuff like make sure that Logic is the only thing running (shutdown all other apps) make sure you only have on session open etc etc. Also see if you can change any settings in system preferences for 'sound' regarding the audio out...this is all a bit 'in the air' troubleshooting to be honest, but as far as I can see this is an error from the logic software than the apple OS.
but they don't give you much to go on at all.

Garageband error messages and it's really slow

When I try to open Garageband I get the message:
"GarageBand has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers."
Then I click OK a couple of times and it opens but it's super slow. This is only been since I upgraded to iLife'09. It worked fine before. PLEASE HELP!

what audio interface and MIDI keyboards and/or Controllers are connected or have been connected to your Mac?

Garageband - Error code -39 - any clues?

I get the message 'Error code -39 was returned by the Core Audio driver' when I try and share a song with iTunes. It occurs during the mixdown phase, and from then on only a handful of tracks play!
I have 19 tracks in all - a mix of real and software instruments. I've locked all the tracks, but there is room for more optimization.
I'd appreciate any tips on how to solve this!

a -39 is an EoF (end of File) error. the first thing i'd suggest is to unlock all tracks, then re-lock them to let them re-render

I'm getting the 10010 disk too slow error in Garageband--Macbook running 10.9.1

Hi--I know this error has been posted about a zillion times already, but I haven't seen it in relation to Mavericks yet, and I was wondering if anyone had any current info or fixes.
I'm trying to record audio in Garageband 10.0.1 on my 2009 Macbook (4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running Mavericks 10.9.1. I'm getting the "Disk too slow" error -10010 after recording for maybe a minute. I honestly don't think it's my machine. I've seen so many older posts about possible fixes that it looks like it's something to do with the OS.
Apple provided a possible fix in 2009 for Leopard and Snow Leopard but I haven't seen any similar fixes more recently. Thanks for any insights!

i having the same problem too.. this had impacted my whole working environment after upgraded into OSX. Typing also choppy, video playback also choppy.. i don't see anything good on this OSX so far on my MBP mid 2012. sad sad sad

Insight / resolution on "disk too slow" -10010 errors

Got this error after upgrading to my 2009 13" MBP with Logic 8.0.2 and 10.6.2. 8 measly tracks with a few minor plugins. Worked fine on my 2.2 GHz '07 MBP with 10.5.8 but no go with the 13", repeatable error -10010 without fail. Reminds me of the same issue I had with Digital Performer which pushed me to switch to Logic.
Currently running 10.6.2/4 GB RAM/500 GB 5400 RPM HD on the 13". Error happens randomly but usually within a minute or two.
Resolved by...
1. Installed minimum OS on the 13" (10.5.7).
2. Updated to 10.5.8 using combo updater, but ran no other updates.
3. Installed Logic 8.0.0 with no updates.
4. Tested same project that previously had errors; ran OK, with no errors or overloads.
Repeated same process on August '06 8 core 3GHz Mac Pro. Ran OK.
5. Installed all available updates, errors returned. Installed same updates on the Mac Pro but it still ran OK. Updates installed that resulted in the error returning are listed below. I haven't narrowed down which update/s cause the issue yet, but since I have Logic on a separate partition and OS I don't care to install updates that are supposed to "fix" what isn't broken. Everything works fine without the updates. Been through this scenario before with Final Cut Studio. My other OS partition runs FCP and CS4 along with my day to day apps just fine with 10.6.2.
Updates installed resulting in errors in Logic:
Logic Pro 8.0.2
Pro Applications Update 2007-01 1.0
MainStage Update 1.0.2
ProKit Update 5.0
PluginManager 1.7.3
Remote Desktop Client Update 3.3.1
Pro Applications Update 2008-05 1.0
AirPort Utility Software Update 5.4.2
QuickTime 7.6.4
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5 1.0
iTunes 9.0.2
Performance Update 1.0
Safari 4.0.4
Security Update 2009-006

Clancy,
No problem!
I also added it to the Useful links and resources for Logic Pro X page in the tips sections....

Disk too slow and system overload error

I like many other users am having problems with the "disk too slow or system overload error (-10010)." It only seems to occur during playback attempts, seeing as I recorded with no problems yesterday, and only began happening today (granted, I have not tried recording anything since this started happening). I have tried changing the buffer size (still occurs at all levels), and, as per noted in a similar post, ensuring that my computer does not at any time put drives to sleep. All my sessions are stored on an external Toshiba Canvio Connect 2.0 TB drive connected directly to my computer via USB.
My setup (I know that this is going to draw a lot of criticism) is a macbook air with 2 gb 1067 MHz DDR3 ram and a 1.4 GHz intel core 2 duo processor, running OS X 10.9.3. While I am fully aware (I promise) that these are well below the recommended numbers, I have been using this configuration since June without any problems whatsoever.
