Garageband won't open after installing and uninstalling Protools LE

I can't get garageband to open after uninstalling protools LE m-box software.
It won't get past initialize process. Is it possible to reinstall garageband over itself and not loose songs already recorded?

I am having the same exact problem...after I upgraded to Leopard I had to reinstall Pro Tools LE which worked fine after I did so...but Garage Band didn't...it would be greatly appreciated it anyone could help...
Did the Pro Tools installation install Digidesign's CoreAudio Drivers? Sometimes they can be a problem and interfere with Apple's.

  • GarageBand won't open after installing

    Ive just recently bought Garageband from the Mac App store, after downloading it comes up with a box saying 'Thank you for purchasing and downloading Garageband '11 from the mac app store. You are moments away from making music on your mac' this takes another 2 hours to download. After it says its complete the garageband box closes down and does nothing, and when i click back on the icon in applications it starts repeating the whole process it's just done. Has anyone experienced this or know how to make this work? Thanks.

    If you have Mountain Lion the the resolution is :
    Firts you need to show preferences folder on library folder beacuse on Mountain Lion is hide
    Launch Terminal from Spotlight or Launchpad -> Utilities, and enter the following command to show or
    hide the directory:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    then
    Select Go -> Go to Folder...
    Type: ~/Library/Preferences
    Locate the com.apple.garageband.plist file
    Move it to your desktop.
    Relaunch GarageBand.
    Tachan!!!

  • Motion 3 Won't Open After Installing

    Hi,
    I reinstalled Motion 3 after doing it 2 days ago because the beach ball keeps coming up and never leaves causing me to force quit. I let it stay up one night and when i awoke 8 hours later it was still up. thus, i reinstalled after trashing it. there's never any motion files in the library to delete and no motion files in the receipts. this time it won't open after installing it and booting down computer. I have lion 10.7.5   the fcp studio disk that i install for motion says version 3 but could have sworn on the computer when it was working it said motion 4. Any suggestions? did all my software updates too.
    Thanks,
    joe

    Motion 3 is part of Final Cut Studio 2. There are many threads on these boards about trying to get those apps to install properly on OS versions above 10.6.8. Here's one such thread. A search will bring up additional ones.

  • Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

    Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

    Honsetly I do not know if they will charge you, however apple products usually have a one year warranty, such as your charging cable, might. But if you tried to use another charging cable then you will want to make an appointment with Apple. good luck

  • ITunes won't open after installing update.

    After installing the latest itunes update, itunes won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still doesn't work.

    hello Nevada!
    After installing the latest itunes update, itunes
    won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't
    open.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it
    say?
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever? if
    so, could you let us know the results of the
    following observations?
    reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes
    Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if
    so, does it persist in there, or does it disappear
    after a few seconds?
    love, b
    b noir - i have been following your advice and i want to thank you for taking your time to try and solve these problems for ipod users.
    i have been following this message board each day for the past week - ever since my iTunes stopped working. i have not yet seen anyone who is receiving the same error message as myself.
    like most others, i downloaded the recent update for iTunes - since then, iTunes will not open. i have tried most of the other proposed solutions to no avail, such as downloading a stand-alone version of quicktime, making sure my msconfig start-up has the correct check marks, etc.
    the iTunes set-up completes with no problem - i have tried installing by saving the file to my hard drive and then running and also by running the program straight from the download window. same results.
    once i go to open iTunes, i receive the following error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Then I click "Send Error Report" just hoping I will receive a required update to make this work.
    i was wondering if you could attempt to help me resolve this issue? i have my music saved to my external hard drive, so i am in no danger of losing my music. however, i need to open iTunes to update my iPod.
    thanks in advance for your help.

  • Error on iTunes library file after installing and uninstalling 8.1

    I downloaded 8.1 after being prompted. After installing 8.1, I could not synch my IPod. I uninstalled 8.1, reinstalled 8.02, and now I am getting this error.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? I have about 39 Gigs of music, and will have problems trying to restore this to a hard drive.

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this; i'm new; after i installed the latest version of itunes, i get a library error message each time i open it up; it tells me i have an invalid library, then it creates a backup and calls it 'damaged1'; i have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times now; each time, i erase all traces of past libraries, so that i start 'new'; the first time i open up itunes, i don't get the error message; i do absolutely nothing with the program, just close it; wait 5 seconds; open it up, and immediately i get the error message, and it creates a 'damaged1' back up; each time i open it, it creates a newer backup, and keeps adding 'movie, genius, dj' etc to my playlist; if i open it 10 times, i've got 10 of all these folders - HELP ME!

  • Garageband won't open after downloading Lion, what should I do?

    I downloaded Lion from the app store, now my garageband won't open. Also I use Pro tools 8.4 and that won't work either!
    I would appreciate any help or advice.

    If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

  • Aperture 3.4.1 won't open after install

    Aperture 3.4.1 wont open after install.  it says my graphics card isn't supported.  Here's my card ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, but I can't find specs required for 3.4.1, so I got no idea

    Here is the Error Message I get
    "The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture."
    Here is my hardware profile:
    iMac
    24-inch Mid 2007
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G56)
    Went by the Apple store and they didn't have anybody that had seen this one yet.  Going by tomorrow for a deeper dive to see if they can find any issue with hardware.  Seems like they should have found this before release.  I suppose it could be an old card.  My iMac is from 2007, so it could be that they have passed it by.  I just want to knowwhat I need to get next.  Ill reply to this tomorrow if it gets resolved

  • ITunes won't open after installing upgrade and restarting

    When I click on my iTunes icon in the dock, iTunes won't open. Instead, a message box comes up: "The file iTunes "library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
    Just before this happened, I imported a lot of music into my library. Now iTunes only opens if I pIug my ipod into my Mac.
    Is there any way I can get iTunes to open by clicking on the icon, as it used to do?

    What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
    Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
    In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
    com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    (don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
    Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
    RESTART the computer
    Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
    P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!

  • IPhoto won't open after Archive and Install

    Recently, my macbook won't boot up so I had to perform and Archive and Install. Now iPhoto won't open and therefore, I have no access to iPhoto Library. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have iLife '08 with me and my restore CDs would have the previous version of iPhoto on it. Would it be impossible to revert to an older version of iPhoto? If I delete the Previous Systems folder, will it affect this problem more (as I have only 5 gb of free space)? (Btw, I am update to date on Tiger updates)
    Thanks,
    munky11
    Message was edited by: munky11

    My guess is that there is part of the iLife install in the Previous System Folder and you're going to need to re-install iLife 08.
    Yes you can re-install v6 (or whatever is on your System Restore disks) but v6 will not open an iPhoto 08 library. You would need to create a new v6 library and that would entail losing all your edited versions, albums, books, keywords etc.

  • Itunes won't open after installing 10.6

    The OTA upgrade to 5.1 went great but after I installed itunes 10.6 and restarted my computer (laptop with windows vista) itunes won't open if I ununstall & reinstall will I lose everything?

    Nope. But backing up before you do this is recommended.

  • Itunes won't open after install of IOS7

    After installing IOS7 on my Iphone4S iTunes won't open.  When you click the app it starts to open and then just closes.  I have shut the phone off and checked the settings but nothing seems to be working.  Help?

    That behavior indicates that the app is crashing.
    I recommend trying a restore.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes (current version: 11.1) and click the Restore button.
    Also consider any possible apps you might have that are suspect - possibly corrupt.  Remove any such apps before attempting the restore.

  • ITunes won't open after installing update for 10.4

    I updated my iTunes to the most recent version and restarted my computer. When my computer turned back on, I tried to open iTunes but it just keeps giving me the "The application iTunes quit unexpectedly" message and asks me to either ignore report or relaunch. Every time I click relaunch, the message comes up again. My OS is Mac OSX Version 10.5.8. Anyone know what to do?

  • ITunes won't open after install

    after installing the update for iTunes, it doesn't run (comp makes noises but nothing comes up on screen). when i open task manager itunes is running as a process, but i can't end process.
    I have tried all the fixes suggested by other threads; installing the standalone quicktime, running msconfig, searching for malware, setting up norton to allow itunes and disabling it during install. I followed the instructions for the complete uninstall and tried to reinstall, didn't work. I then did another complete uninstall and installed an older version of iTunes 6 from the cd i got with my iPod, still doesn't work!!
    i am at a loss with this, hopefully the next release will fix this issue.
    any response would be greatly appreciated

    hi Shaun!
    after installing the update for iTunes, it doesn't run (comp makes noises but nothing comes up on screen). when i open task manager itunes is running as a process, but i can't end process.
    hmmm. okay, Norton is still our prime suspect here. that "running itunes.exe process that will not die" symptom is associated with the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 launch suppression problems. (people who get that also often see things like looooooong sloooooow shutdown times on the PCs and odd end program dialog boxes.)
    let's try throwing the trusty Lorraine M technique at the beast. (it usually fixes the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 problems.)
