Garageband Won't Open, Failed Update

Lost my net connection during update of Garageband and now Garageband won't load and now brings up "Unable to Download Application" "Garageband could not be downloaded at this time. I can't even figure out how to reset Garageband and I don't want to lose the songs I've recorded in the app either. Thanks!

I'm sorry, but to get Garageband and iMovie back, you would have to lose all your data. Unless you have the data on an Apple Computer, you would lose your data. To get Garageband back, you would first have to delete it from your iPad. Then, sync with your computer. Then, download Garageband on the iTunes App Store on your computer (not your iPad). Then, just sync again to put Garageband on your iPad.

Garageband won't open at all!

Ok so I think since I upgraded to Leopard, my garageband won't open. It just says its "initializing" and the logo bounces in the dock for about 2 minutes or so... then it says "the program quit unexpectedly after it was relaunched"
I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried to take garageband06 from a friend, but that won't work for me either.
Can anyone help me?? I have sessions booked in my studio and I use garageband for some of it...

I just figured out this problem and thought I would provide the exact location of the problem file. Celemony's Melodyne Uno running (or not running for that matter) in Leopard was the problem for me.
Go to: Macintosh HD/Library/Applications Support and remove MelodyneUnoRewireDevice (which is an alias).
Then go to: Macintosh HD/Library/Applications Support/Propellerhead Software/ReWire/ and remove both of the Melodyne components there. You don't need to remove the other ReWire components.
You may also need to go to: Home/Library/Preferences and remove MelodyneUno Preferences.
Note: you probably won't have to remove the Uno application from the applications folder if you want to wait for an update.

GarageBand won't open in 10.6.6

GarageBand won't open after upgrade to 10.6.6 despite installing combo update and so forth. Tried locating com.apple.garage.plist in Library/Preferences but cannot find it.
Please help, I just keep getting the 'initializing' bar and I have to force quit. And now for some reason a CoreMIDI framework folder keeps appearing in my dock.
I spent a bloody fortune on ProTools and have had to accept that it's money down the drain after Snow Leopard upgrade but if GarageBand is screwed to then watch out below, Mac coming through window....

First if you run Pro Tools never update your OS until Avid says it's ok. I'm guessing that something pro tools may have done to a library or driver effected Garageband and the update broke pro tools and pro tools took garageband with it.
May be a good idea to get the newest version of garageband.

ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
step one-
Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
(even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
step two-
download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
(i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
step 3-
open Terminal
step 4-
enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
killall iTunes
killall "iTunes Helper"
sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
step 5-
drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
step 6-
install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
step 7-
go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.

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.

Garageband Won't Open

Ok, so I was trying to download some effects to improve garageband. However, they weren't working correctly and I deleted the program. Ever since this garageband won't open. Every time I open the program it asks "Where is the Waves plug-ins folder?" and pulls up the finder for you to show where it is. I tried uprgading to garageband 3 (I had GB 1) as I was told by the cashier at the apple store that it would reinstall all the plugins I need.
Anyone know where I can find or get the Waves plug-ins folder? Thanks so much! I use this program in my live keyboard rig every week and I was quite limited without the program.
Thank you,
Jared

Thanks. Downloading the software again from Waves allowed me to open GB. The thing is I never used any plugins from this program in any of my GB projects and none of them would open until I reinstalled the Waves program. I really don't want the program. Is there a way to uninstall the program and still use GB.
Thanks so much,
Jared

How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5

how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?

Thanks for the feedback. This is a custom enterprise application. So there is not an update yet. It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable. So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.

GarageBand won't open! I can't explain what happens, so here's a video I made of the issue...

Please help! This is very important, as I work with music.

Hi Duckman,
I've asked for this thread to be moved to iLife > GarageBand. Hopefully you'll get a better response there here than this forum which is GarageBand for iOS.

IPhoto 9 won't open after update

Hi,
I have bought iLife 11 and have been using it for a couple of weeks on my MacBook Pro. Today i did quite a big update to OSX, it was about 850mb download in total. After I completed the update iPhoto won't open. It just shows a dialogue box saying:
"In order to open iPhoto, you need to update to the latest version. Please run Software Update to install it now."
I check the software update and there is nothing to update. Looking in the console there is this line:
<Notice>: Application failed to launch (id = com.apple.iPhoto, version = 9.0 reason = kLSIncompatibleApplicationVersionErr)
I have downloaded version 9.1 and tried to update manually, but it says there is no installation of iphoto to update. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
TIA,
Jon

Hi Terence,
Thanks for the reply. I've also had some help from the in-law (an Apple guru!) we've worked it out and it was to do with the application location.
I reset the Disk Permissions for the HD. Then checked Software Update again and still no update for iphoto. I manually downloaded 9.1 from Apples site, but it said it couldn't find iPhoto
I then moved the application file from a folder called PHOTO in the Application folder (trying to keep all the apps organised!) and re-ran manual 9.1 update. This then found the current installation and updated fine.
iPhoto 9.1 now opens just dandy and I am very relieved. I'm now off to run TimeMachine again, now it works!
Kudos to you though Terence, you were spot on!

Garageband won't open at all now -- plus USB turntable issues

Applemeisters: I haven't used GarageBand in a couple of months. Now it won't open at all. The icon flickers for a couple of seconds on the dock and then disappears. I have a 10.2.8 operating system and about 3 GBs of hard disc space (I know, the usual remedy is to clear up more space, but I've had much less space and it's worked then).
Meanwhile, I bought an Ion turntable months ago and have tried repeatedly to record lps -- only to have very distorted sound, much worse than the regular stereo downstairs. Is the Ion supposed to be a plug and play with a Mac when you plug it directly into a USB port in your G4 tower? The Audacity software that is supposed to turn the lp into CD isn't doing its job apparently because the USB turntable sounds fine downstairs when I plug it into the console and speakers that play my o9dl fashinoned regular stereo.
Any help you can provide, I will appreciate. Thanks.

The problems are caused by third party input managers/enhancers that have not yet been updated by their developers to comply with the standards used by Safari 3.2.1. and/or Safari 4.
In your case these are:
x7e3000 - 0x7e3fff com.aladdinsys.mmenabler 7.1.0 (99) /Library/InputManagers/MagicMenuEnabler/MagicMenuEnabler.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ MagicMenuEnabler
0x7e7000 - 0x7e7fff com.yazsoft.SDEnhancer ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SpeedDownloadEnhancer
0x254a000 - 0x254dfff com.yazsoft.SDSafariBundle ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/Resources/SDSafariBundle.bundle/ Contents/MacOS/SDSafariBundle
You fill find them in one or either of these folders:
Home/Library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/Library/Application Support
although the exact location is indicated in your crash report as quoted above - look under 'Binary Images'.
Close Safari and delete them, then restart Safari and it should be working normally.
Check with the developers of the plug-ins in question for updates that are Safari 4 compliant.

Disk Images won't open after update to 10.4.10

After updating to 10.4.10 disk images (dmg-files) won't open any more. I get the error message "The following disk images failed to mount:.. Reason: Device not configured". This happens every time on every disk image. These same images mounted just fine before the update.
Any ideas?

what if the disk image is on an attached FireWire Drive?
there is no OS on that drive, so I can't repair permissions.
I have two disk images on it: one opens fine, the other I get "no mountable file systems"
It opened just fine a few weeks ago

Garageband won't open, keeps downloading

I purchased the GArageBand app from the app store for my MacBook Pro, and it downloads, then it downloads add-ons, but won't open! It keeps starting the download over again once the add-on downloads finish and I click the icon in my dock to open the program!

First if you run Pro Tools never update your OS until Avid says it's ok. I'm guessing that something pro tools may have done to a library or driver effected Garageband and the update broke pro tools and pro tools took garageband with it.
May be a good idea to get the newest version of garageband.

Garageband won't open....??? HELP!!

I just used Garageband last night...and now it won't open for some reason. The only thing I can think of is that I deleted my Digidesign folder from my Applications folder because it wasn't working with my MBox. That shouldn't affect Grageband though, right?
When I try to open it, the App icon just continually bounces in my dock...
PLEASE HELP!!

Looking at your crash report, I see that the crash occurs with the Melodyne rewire plug-in. If I remember correctly, the Melodyne rewire plug-in is not compatible with Mountain Lion. Check with the Melodyne webpage, if there is a software update available for Mt. Lion and install it. If not, remove the
"/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Melodyne.component/" from your System Library to the Desktop and restart your system. See, if you can launch GarageBand now. In that case you will have to use the stand-alone version of Melodyne and not the rewire version.

Some applications won't open after updating to OS 10.8.5

I am running the Mountain Lion on a 2009 Macbook Air. I just did an update to 10.8.5 and now some of my applications won't open. A few of the appications that no longer run are Chrome, iPhoto and all Microsoft applications.
I tried uninstalling an reinstalling the apps but that did nothing, I also tried creating a new user account to see if the problem persisted in there and it did. I then tried removing my caches folder from Library which also fixed nothing. I then tried booting it in safe mode and the applications successfully opened in there.
I obviously can't just boot my Macbook up in safe mode whenever I need to use it so if anyone knows how this problem could be solved? They were all functioning normally before I did the most recent update of OS.
I have tried repairing the disk permissions but that resulted in no change also. I do not have the start up disk for Mountain Lion so reinstalling the OS is not possible, nor is booting from disk.
I'm in my final year of college, in the middle of my final year project I REALLY need this fixed.

When I try to open iPhoto, Unity, Chrome or a few others it gives me the same error each time. "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X"
But that doesn't make sense because I just updated the OS and all my applications are up to date also. I've tried reinstalling, no joy though.
