GarageBand not responding

GarageBand will not respond during initializing. Tried reloading the app from app store, same results.

Is it the same problem as in these two threads?
GarageBand still does not work...please help

To be able to help, we really need more information.

Did the reinstall succeed? You could install a new version of GarageBand?
GarageBand will not respond during initializing.
What exactly is happening, when you are launching GarageBand?
Do you see the opening window, where you can select a project or Learn to Play, and then GarageBAnd will hang, when you try to open a project, or does it not even open the initial application window?
When did this start? Is this your first GarageBand project, or did it work previously and now it stopped to work?
Have you any audio interfaces installed?

Que Tal Amigos, en busca de este problema en diferentes foros, me di a la tarea de traducir cada unos de sus preguntas y dudas ya que no se ingles, por lo tanto espero que se den a la tarea de traducir esto a su idioma ya que tengo la solucion de este Gran Problema que tenemos todos los que actiuaizamos a Lion OSX 10.7...buen ahi les va al parecer uno de los drivers midi de las superficies de control o interfaces de Avid 002 y 003 utilizan este para poder utilizar sus in/out midis ya que si tu eres de los que no tiene esta interfase o no utilizas estas salidas y entradas es preferible que borres o cambies de ubicacion a alguna carpeta "como la de Plugins unused" este archivo...Library/audio/mididrivers/DigiDioMidiDriver

Garageband not responding... ever

A while ago, I moved some of my GarageBand files and the system locked up. As far as I can tell, the files are gone for good.
Now, whenever I try to use GarageBand, the initializing window pops up and stays there. When I click the icon, it says that it is not responding.
GarageBand came preinstalled and I cannot figure out how to reinstall it. Any advice would be appreciated.

" I cannot figure out how to reinstall it."
Unless you bought iLife 06 separately, you won't have separate disks for it. It is contained in your Apple system disks, they probably say OS X on them, but it will give you an option to just install what you want.

I get program not responding every time I try to use new Garageband

HELP: Recording IChat Conversation with GarageBand - Will not respond

Hi guys,
I recently recorded an important conversation on IChat video with someone using GarageBand (the voice part) but before stopping recording on GB I closed the video chat window. I think that messed up to the recording and now the GB will not respond (Rainbow disk keeps spinning) I know I could just force quit but I don't want to lose the conversation it was 2 hours of work (REALLY IMPORTANT WORK) If anyone could offer some advice of what I should do I don't want to Force Quit incase there is a solution. Thank you so much for any help and I really need it so if anyone has any advice please tell me ASAP!!!
Thanks Again!
Harry

Here's what you should try. Locate the folder where the recordings are stored:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/AIFFsStored.html
Don't mess with the contents but make a copy of the Media folder (by alt-dragging it to the Desktop, for example). Then force-quit GB and try to open your project again. If your tracks aren't there, try to rescue them from the copy you made!

GarageBand is not responding on my iphone4

I Downloaded GarageBand on my iphone4 but it is not responding and not opening....

Delete it and download again.Probably the download did not succeed.
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store

HT5076 The record button on my garageband does not respond/work. I can play, rewind, etc. The touch screen is fine. Please help.

I recently backuped up all my apps and music/etc to the icloud. I had my ipad 4 touch screen repaired. I got thee ipad back in perfect working condition. however, when I launched garageband....I tried to record but the RECORD BUTTON does not respond. This is not a touch screen issue...I can press play, rewind, I can select instruments, I can play the virtual instruments etc. I tried rebooting my ipad and I also deleted and re-downloaded garageband. The issue is the same.
Please advise.

Did it work before?
Does iHome say it is compatible with a 4G iPod with iOS 6.1.3? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
Make sure the iPod is fully seated in the dock. The case of the 4G is different than previous iPods and thus if the dockl\ was not designed with the 4G in mind it may not fully seat.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset the dock
- Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Or it may just be not compatible

ITunes 7.7 Not responding

Hi,
I've downloaded iTunes 7.7 today and it will not work at all. It is stuck on 'application not responding'. My iTunes library is located on an iomega external hard drive. To test if this was the reason for the error I ejected the hard drive and iTunes would then start up.
Obviously I want to access my music library on my hard drive, does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks

Okay. I got my iphone 3G delivered yesterday, popped in the SIM and plugged it in to my MBP and up it pops in iTunes no problems at all, registered it okay and synced it okay, put on some music and a video oaky, played around with some settings re-synced it okay. Disconnected it once or twice and reconnected it and synced it okay. Anyway you get the picture, all was well, until I did two things with the iphone disconnected from the laptop. 1st I downloaded an app from the app store with the phone, the one that turns your iPhone into a light saber, yeah I know - but I got several minutes or amusement from it. 2nd, I created 4 ringtones using garageband and some music that I had got from CD then using garagebands share option I sent these 20sec clips to iTunes and they appeared in the ringtone folder.
Okay all okay so far, until I connect my phone again and iTunes won't respond with the iPhone connected. I deleted the iPhone app and the ringtones, it then says that the iPhone is not readable or writeable. At this stage I plug the iPhone into another mac and it pops up straight away in iTunes.
I download iTunes 7.7 again onto the MBP and re-install it, nothing changes. I then back up my music and trash iTunes completely off the MBP and re-install iTunes and BINGO it sees the iPhone no problem, I then spent another hour uploading my music back into iTunes again.
All is working okay now, but I'm at a loss as to explain what caused this in the first place, can anyone shed an light on this one for me.
Many thanks.

ITunes "not responding" every time I connect iPhone

Can anyone offer some advice here please? I just got my new iphone 3G, and downloaded iTunes 7.7. It all worked fine and synched OK to the new phone.
However, every time I connect the phone subsequently, the PC opens a window to say that a camera has been connected and asks me to chose a program. Whatever I then do (OK or Cancel), iTunes freezes up. Does anyone have any suggestions lease?

I mean the program will open, but when asked to open anything it just sets with the rainbow pie spinning. Click on garageband in the dock and it says that is not responding.

Garageband not saving audio?

Hi,
I started a project in garageband, recorded about 4 audio tracks and went to save - the save box was grayed out, in fact i couldn't even quit or close the project. I just got the error sound.
I hid the window and saw that one of the big counter numbers was still up on the desktop and nothing i could do could get rid of it.
Figuring this was the problem i restarted my machine and opened the project. all the audio was gone.
So i trashed the project, started a new one with the same name, recorded more audio and some midi, this time i could save and quit as normal.
Unfortunately when i re-opened the project, my midi data was intact, but the audio tracks were once again missing!
Anyone know what's going on? I'm still new to this program but i'm a seasoned logic pro/pro tools user. can i crack open the project file in any way to retrieve my audio?
cheers.

what format would the audio be in
The files are in AIFF format, so yes, they can be dropped into a project. One caveat, imported (AIFF, Mp3, etc) files do not respond to tempo or pitch controls
http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#changemp3tempo
Permission repair is an excellent idea, if they are somehow wonked (technical term) GB could possibly not be abel to save its files. I've run into this issue across a network.
It is possible to do a re-install of just garageband from the osx disc?
GB is not part of the OS install, you need to have the Software REstore, or iLife disc. From the iLife disc I know you can choose a Custom install, I would expect the same for the Software REstore disc, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Let us know how things go when you get time. --Hang

I can't open firefox the running but not responding window opens and says to close the existing window. I can't do that shutting down the computer doesn't do anything to help. I've done all the suggestions here. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox

Firefox will not open. I get the firefox is already running but not responding window... I have tried rebooting with no help. I have tried to end the process via cntrl+shift+esc and nothing firefox is listed to end. I have tried find the app data via the run icon in the start up window, I have no run icon on this system (Acer with windows vista(?)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The computer was hard shut down and did a improper shut down scan when it was restarted ==

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

Frequently when I open Firefox it says Firefox is already running but is not responding. I have to go to the task manager, find Firefox and close the process before I can get firefox to load.

Those are all the details I have

There is an article about this problem see:
