Garageband "Registry Error" coming up three times after Icon Clicked.

Question

I have had my Macbook Pro since last september, so I'm still kinda new to a Mac. I had to get a new HD because it started failing. I restored it from my Time Machine External Hard Drive. The Only thing that is wrong is my Garageband. I have iLife 11 and Everytime I click on Garageband, an Error pops up saying "Registry Error" as the Header and "Please ensure this product has been installed properly" under the Header. This pops up multiple times and I can't use Garageband at all. I am running Mac OS 10.6.7 and Garageband is version 6.0.2. I Reinstalled it multiple times. Lost all my JamPacks and I'm afraid If I delete iLife, I will lose all 123 garageband songs I made. What do I do? HELP PLEASEEE!!!!!

Hi Dacheezypuffs
You could try a *complete* uninstall of GB before reinstalling it:
• trash GB receipts (at the hard drive level)
• trash your Caches folder (at the user level)
Select the hard drive your system is installed on (from the "devices" category on the left of a finder window). Then -> Library -> Receipts -> Garageband receipts.
Username -> Library - Caches {folder}.
• trash all GB preferences (at the user level)
• trash the GB application.
Then, reinstall GB from scratch using your iLife installation disk.
Lost all my JamPacks
If they're there, you can get them back in GB by rebuilding your index, or if not, you can reinstall them.
I'm afraid If I delete iLife, I will lose all 123 garageband songs I made. What do I do?
You shouldn't lose your songs, but you should back them up anyway. Just in case.

Since the issue should still be covered by AppleCare (the drive failed) you could always call a tech rep if you were still having problems. Or if you were near a store, you could always make an appointment with one of the genii.
