GarageBand file crashes entire application, every time. How can I undo my last action so I can open it and export what I have?

I have an ENTIRE song that I just finished, thought I would add a drum loop track just to see what it sounded like with my natrual acoustics.
Apparently that was an awful idea! Adding the track crashed the whole program, and no matter what actions I take I can't get that single file to reopen. I've checked all over the web for possible answers, but no one has ever gotten this particular problem figured out (from what I can find).
I don't want to overload you guys with all the raw error report data unless you need it, so just let me know if that's something I should bother to post!
Really, I just want a way to get rid of that one track, or "undo" my last action so that I can reopen the file and salvage the rest of my perfect song.
Thank you so much for helping out!

Your crashlog shows an "Bad Access" error.
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
That is very typical for corrupted media files. Is the last track you added a real-instrument track and you made an audio recording? Then it might help to remove the last added audio file from your GarageBand project.
Or do you have a TimeMachine backup, so that you could restore the last version of your project from the backup?
To remove an audio file from your GarageBand project ctrl-click the "xxxx.band" file of the song and select "Show Package Contents". Inside your package should be a folder called "Media" and it will contain your recordings as ".aiff" files, named like the tracks. Drag the newest ".aiff" to the Desktop and try to launch GB. You will probably get a warning about missing media - ignore it. Canyou launch GB this way?

And sometimes InDesign itself crashes when opening even with no connection to said file.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Maybe find a local who can translate for you. I don't know what to tell you for dealing in another country for service on your computer.
I can offer you something you can do if you want to give it a try. You'll need a backup of your data in your Home folder because you need to erase the drive. You'll also need a solid, preferably fast, internet connection.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Premier pro crashes on startup every time

Premier Pro CC 2014 crashes on startup every time. Operating system is OSX Yosemite 10.10. However, the problem begane with previous OS versions and the update did not fix the issue. CC is up to date as version 8.1.0. I've verified and repaired my startup disk as well and there are no issues with my machine. I am using:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
I have a school project coming up and really need my CC to be working.
Thank you so much for the help,
William Durland

The first thing I suggest is renaming three Premiere Pro folders at the following paths:
/Users/<username>/Documents/Adobe
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe

How come now every time i throw something into the recycle bin it asks for my password and when I do it doesn't show in my bin help please!

You're throwing away files that either don't belong to you or are in a folder that doesn't belong to you. Since your user account has Administrator privileges, it just ask you for authentication, else it would forbid the operation.
To better understand the concept, select one of your files from your home directory and press Control-I. In the info window, check the Sharing & Permissions section at the bottom. Do the same with one of the files that asks for the password.

Mail crashes at launch every time

Hi,
Mail crashes at launch every time.`
I'm on OSX Mountain Lion and it worked for a time but, suddenly, Mail began ti crash...
iMessages crashes too.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

HT1347 When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP

When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP...

iTunes does not actively scan the media folders. If you manually add content to a folder, then you must add that content to iTunes manually via the File > Add File/Folder feature.
The only folder that gets scanned is the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder.
