Garageband  won't load song or new track

I've just installed iLife 08 and then Leopard. My problem is that when i try to create a new track, nothing happens. I wait for several minutes, while those funny circular grey things keep turning round and round, and nothing happens.
Then i try to open one of my recently opened songs and.. ..nothing! The only thing that happens is that the window closes.
My only guess why it doesn't work, is that it has to be installed unto the same system, you want it to run on, so i'll have to install it again. On Leopard.
Can that be true or what should i do? (nice rhyme!!)

try these steps first:

  • 4th gen iPod won't load songs; my 5th gen and Nano will...

    I have a 4th gen iPod that was working with no problems until my girlfriend unintentionally erased all the songs when she installed iTunes on a new computer and connected the iPod. In the meantime, I acquired a 5th gen iPod and Nano and have been using them without event on my computer.
    When I tried re-connecting the 4th gen iPod to my computer, the songs wouldn't load. I've updated iTunes and the iPod software to the latest versions and still can't get it to work. I've tried restoring the iPod numerous times and when I try to sync it (either manually or automatically) it says "the required file cannot be found". It has sometimes said "an unknown error has occured (-69)" which would mean something is wrong with the files themselves, but then why would my other iPods work fine using the same files?
    What's weird is that the iPod won't load any of the songs but will load the names of playlists.
    Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here?
    Thanks

    Hi, thanks for the response.
    Yes, I did try the 5 R's a few times without much success, it seems.
    And I did research the (-69) error message which on the site says,
    "This error occurs when iTunes tries to send files to your iPod, but a file (or files) is unusable (something is wrong with it."
    But like I said, I'm confused as to why one iPod would be happy with the files but my other one wouldn't. I've tried choosing random songs to put on the iPod (thinking maybe my first song in my library is corrupted) but no songs seem to load. The other error message I get is "The required file cannot be found". But why can my other iPods find them?

  • PSE13 won't load on my new Mac

    Last month, updated my mac to Yosemite therefore forcing me to update to Photoshop Elements 13.  I did.  Got a new Mac for Xmas but PSE13 won't load on it - I have Yosemite on new Mac so not sure what to do.

    Why did you have to upgrade to PSE 13? Are you trying to install PSE or run a copy that you migrated over? What happens when you try whatever it is that you're doing? We need more information to be able to help you.
    Just FYI, PSE 6 through 12 also work in Yoyo.

  • CS5 won't load on my New Windows 8 computer

    My computer was fried by lightening and I bought a new Windows 8 computer.  I have CS5, but it won't load.  The disc doesn't automatically start in the drive, and when I look at the files on the disc, I cannot locate a setup, install, or .exe file.  Any suggestions?

    I wouldn't count on CS5 working with Win 8 but in this case you may have
    a bad disk (or you're using the content disk). You can download the
    installer from here:

    Follow the directions EXACTLY or it won't work. You can use your serial
    number to activate it.

  • Loading songs from new computer

    Old laptop screen broke. Bought new computer. Bought new songs on new computer. Once shuffle connects, Store wants to wipe off all songs on shuffle before loading new songs. Is it at all possible to transfer songs from old LT, through external drive, on to new LT, then load on to shuffle. Have I lost all of my $$$?

    This forum is for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, not iPods. You should probably post your question in the iPod and/or iTunes forums:

  • Itunes screen freezes when trying to load songs in new ipod shuffle

    I just bought an ipod shuffle for my mother but when I try to load songs from itunes, the screen just seems to freeze until I disconnect shuffle.
    I tried to restore it but it doesn't work ("error 1418" is all I can get).
    I don't understand why since I have no problem with my ipod nano on the same computer.

    Be sure to use a rear port on your Shuffle, it needs full power to work.

  • IPod Won't Load Songs Past 52

    Ok, I have a iPod Shuffle and I have tried everything. I have reloaded and restored and even formated the iPod, nothing worked. I can not load any songs past 52. I have tried using different programs to load songs, but no success. Can anyone help??!!??!!

    "Did you enable disc use and or adjust the "choose how much space will be reserved for songs versus data." in the settings?"
    "Just going to mention that. =] Yes, to get to that, have your iPod plugged in and in the bottom right corner of iTunes you will see a little iPod, click it. Then in the window that pops up you will see a silde bar and make sure it is all the way on the songs side."
    I can't find that on mine. The only thing in my corner is the eject icon. How do I disable for disk use?

  • IPod won't load songs

    Since upgrading to iTunes 5.0.1, I can't load songs on my iPod.
    I did disk utility, reset to factory settings and now it will load a few songs then hang up.
    Tried auto update, manual and still the same. Loads a few songs and then locks up.
    Tried it with my laptop running tiger and iTunes 4.xxx and it loads songs no problem.
    I've looked at the forums and see this is a popular problem with iTune 5 and fixes?
    Apple screwed the pooch on this upgrade.

    My ipod wasn't allowing me to load songs, then did and now it is stuck again it will load a couple of songs and then it will say it is updating but just freeze, the time also freezes on the computer. It will not stop the update if I ask it to and if I try to force quit itunes it does not work and the computer then will not restart - it is driving me demented! Does anyone have a fix? I have a 2nd gen ipod and am running the latest version updater, I have tried resetting and reformatting the ipod - it did nothing but delete what songs I was able to transfer to it! Am using tiger 10.4.3 and have run all the latest updates....

  • Can't load songs onto new Ipod

    Can someone please help me. I had to return my Ipod and get a new one due to it being faulty. Now when I try to load my music onto the new one it will not copy all of my songs. Any idea on how to get this done?

    hi Sherry!
    Now when I try to load my music onto the new one it will not copy all of my songs.
    does the synch seem to go perfectly successfully, but some songs just don't transfer? if so, try the advice given here:
    Scott Patrie, "iTunes won't transfer purchased music to iPod", 07:24pm Oct 7, 2004 CDT
    but if you're getting an error message, or your connection seems to quit after a while, please describe the situation in a bit more detail. (include any error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Netflix website won't load correctly on new Macbook pro.

    The Netflix WEBSITE isn't loading correctly on my new macbook pro. The < > arrows used to scroll through movies on the homepage don't seem to be working. When you click/hover over them nothing happens. Also, the title and description box that usually appears when you hover your mouse over a movie isn't showing up either...and lastly the box where you can filter the movies you want to see in a specific category "Ex. "Dark comedies, Romantic comedies, Foregin Comedies etc.." isn't showing up.
    Im assuming this is an issue with either safari or the macbook itself because I don't know what else it could be. I tried clearing all cookies,
    cache, and history but it didn't help. The movies are streaming fine it's just the website that messed up. All other websites seem to be working fine though.

    Probably a Java issue.  Try another browser and also try loading Java from www.java.com.  BTW, the current version won't run properly in Safari, so you'll probably end up running FireFox anyway.

  • Quicktime X Won't Load movies with AC3 track

    Not sure if anyone else has seen this, it is more than likely that this is the case but maybe some people don't realise it.
    Any movie file I have that has an ac3 track on it will not open in quicktime player x for me, but will work in quicktime player 7. When I use quicktime player 7 to completely remove the ac3 track (not just disabling it, that doesn't work), it will open fine in QT X. If I open a file that I ripped from DVD 6 months ago, quicktime x will open it fine as there is no AC3. A file I ripped yesterday won't open as it has AC3.
    I tried to call the apple helpline but they were next to useless, considering the chap thought I wanted to put a password on quicktime when I talked about passthrough, and then directed me to download quicktime 7, like I hadn't used it to diagnose the issue!
    Has anyone else encountered this issue, and more importantly does anyone know how to fix it, apart from using quicktime 7?

    Another questions occurs to me: May I use Quicktime 7 for playing MPEG-2 videos with audio AC3 files? Or do I need Quicktime 7 Pro? And where do I get these applications -- if they will solve the problem? Do I have these applications on my Snow Leopard DVD? I checked my utilities folder and they are not in there. Will QT 7 and QT 7 Pro even work with Snow Leopard? I'm new to Mac and very confused, obviously.

  • My Garageband Won't Import Songs Anymore!

    Can someone please help me?!!! I am not the most computer savvy person in the world. I am a dance teacher, and every year I need to shorten songs for my students to do their recital dances to. Last year, I just dragged and dropped each song from iTunes into a garageband timeline. But this year, I tried to do the same thing I have done many times in the past, and it won't work! It says importing file, but then nothing shows up in the timeline. The wierd thing is that it does let me do it for some songs. It picks and chooses the songs it will allow me to drag and drop. I tried clicking on 'convert selection to AAC', I tried reimporting the songs into iTunes from a CD. I just can't get some of the songs to garageband! Please help!

  • Windows 7 won't load after installing new Hard Drive and Recovery software

    HP G72 Notebook PC
    xz218UAR
    I guess a virus crashed my hard drive so I bought a new one.  I installed the new drive and loaded the recovery disks that I also bought from HP.  Apparently Windows didn't load properly and it keeps telling me to RELOAD WINDOWS.  I've tried starting over from Disk 1 but it's not doing anything different to fix it.  
    I removed the new hard drive and reinstalled it but it's still doing the same thing.  
    What am I doing wrong and HOW DO I FIX IT?

    Hi,
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around if you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
    If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • 3rd Gen. IPOD-Won't load songs from Itunes.

    My sister gave me her 10 GB 3rd Gen Ipod, and it didn't come with the software. I used the Ipod updater and loaded the latest software. Itunes opens when I plug in the Ipod, but a window comes up that says the songs cannot be copied onto this Ipod.
    All the songs have been imported from CDs, so I don't understand.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Jess

    The message you got - did it go something like The iPod "whatever" is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes library and replace all existing songs....
    If so, you should click on the affirmative answer and then you can sync.
