GarageBand won't update to 6.0.4

I bought GB 6.0.1 through the App Store.  Occasionally when I start it up (but not every time), it tells me there's an update available to 6.0.4.  I click on Download and Install and nothing happens.  I go to the App Store and there are no updates available.  I go to Software Updates and don't get anything either.  I go to Apple's Download page and download the 6.0.4 update but it says I can't install it that way and have to go through the App Store.
Yet I still GB 6.0.1 and cannot upgrade!  What's going on and how can I fix that?
TIA.

FWIW, I managed to get a very helpful person at Apple support to work with me.  We had many odd problems, like the App Store upgrade button refusing to upgrade saying I had to re-login with the account I'd bought it with.  That made no sense because I have only one App Store account.
Anyway, the solution appeared to be to move the GB.app from Applications folder to the trash (but don't empty it), Then re-open the App Store and it prompted me to Install instead of Upgrade.  After I did this, everython worked perfectly.

  • After update, Garageband won't detect midi keyboard.

    After upgrading to Lion, Garageband won't detect my midi keyboard. I've already scanned for it in the Audio midi utility. It worked fine before the update. Does anyone know a solution?

    Maybe you should tell us what "the keyboard" is.

  • 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.

  • Ipod Tough 4th Generation Apps Won't Update

    Hello,
    Just got the message to update some apps on my ipod.  Now it won't update to IOS 7, which is fine, but I've never had a problem with it not being able to update the apps.  It says it's no longer compatible.  I'm assuming that this is because the new apps are for IOS 7. 
    The find my phone is pretty important and I'm wondering if the fact that it won't update will hinder it from working properly.
    Also, the garageband & pages will not update as well, and I find it very handy to use it to put down ideas on my ipod and then transfer it to my computer.  Will the fact that it won't update cause compatibility issues with the computer as well, since I just updated it to Mavericks?
    Is any body else having this problem?
    Thank you for your responses.

    Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
    after that download the ipsw corresponding to your ipod. usoing link below
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/18/ios-7-ipsw-direct-download-links/
    After download hold the ipods home and power button for 15 seconds. itunes will detect an ipod in recovery mode. hold the option key and click restore. finder will pop up and find the ipsw via search and click on it and choose it.
    this should work

  • 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, 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 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....

  • GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.

    GarageBand won't let me drag and drop songs into the timeline.  It did before, now all of a sudden it won't... anyone know why?
    I am dragging them from iTunes, and it has never been an issue before.  I have used AAC, MP3, and AIFF before and never had an issue.
    Is there a setting possibly that I need to change?

    Same with me, Lion is a cool OS but the updates iTunes has nothing but problems. I can't even drag song to my desktop. You can try finding the song through iTunes music folder but the song I wanted wasn't there. To get there look at this artical http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391. to help you find that song.

  • GarageBand won't launch since last upgrade

    Hello
    I haven't been able to launch GarageBand since I updated it from the "Software Update" program. It downloaded around 1 Gig of instruments and loops and won't launch since then, jumps once in the dock and stays still.
    I tried deleting prefs and it didnt do anything. I created another user account and it couldn't launch it from there either.
    I was wondering if anyone had the same problem or knew a way to solve it... since I just bought a midi keyboard! Just my luck.
    PB G4 10.4.11 and GB 4.1.2 (248.7)

    Freed up some disk space, ran a couple of maintenance programs, now works fine.

  • Garageband won't launch

    Basically garageband won't launch. I have gone through all of the support online, forums and even forums attached to these forums....
    I have recently installed Pro Tools and that worked but it is a real hard program to use.
    So uninstalled it. I deleted everything to do with Pro Tools and all of the associated plug ins. Some forums suggested it is to do with Melodyne and ReWire plug ins. I have deleted those.
    I click on Garageband in the dock - it initiallises with the bar and then stops, then the error box comes up - couldn't launch etc etc.
    I have tried to open garageband through another file incase garageband was trying to open the last recording and it has a bug. Still doesn't launch.
    Previous to installing Protools - Garageband worked a treat.
    I have since reinstalled garageband from the start up disks that came with the computer and have all the required updates from Apple installed as well.
    All of my previous files that were recorded using Garageband were saved on an external hard drive.
    Is there something else that I am missing to get it to launch?

    Thanks for your advice - before you answered I thought that it may have been that I installed ProTools LE before the summer and the bundle that comes with it - I uninstalled it at the end of the summer as I didn't really like the M-Box2. Anyway, I have taken out all the folders relating to didgidesign and izotope, deleted GarageBand and re-installed it. hen it first opened it produced a box saying 'thankyou for using izotope software would like to authenticate now or continue with the demo. I clicked on demo and GarageBand opened up fine...
    Thanks for your help...I'm not sure if it going to continue to work but we'll see - I thought that telling you about the ProTools & related software may have been useful...

  • Garageband won't even open?

    MY garageband won't open.
    I click the icon in the dock, it opens to the point where the name comes up in the top bar, freezes, makes a noise then quits, asking me if I want to report the error.
    I don't even know what disc I can use to try and re-sintall. I only have OSX 10.4 discs and a 10.5 update disc that all came with the machine in November this year.

    at this point, it's time to try reinstalling GB:

  • Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

    My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this
    dell inspiron   Windows XP  

    Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

  • Certain apps won't update or download on any device.

    I've searched for two weeks to no avail. I've seen similar problems posted but nothing quite like this. I have an iPhone 5s iOS 8.2, a 4th Gen iPad iOS 8.2 and Mac Mini Late 2014 OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. It all started with wanted to download the Pages app. My iPad is old enough it wouldn't let me download it for free so I initiated the download on my iPhone and then promptly cancelled. I then tried to download Pages from "the cloud" onto my iPad. It downloaded 3/4 of the way and failed stated that the app could not be downloaded at this time with two options to continue: done and retry. And now there are a handful of apps that will fail somewhere in the download and some apps that are already installed on the devices that won't update. Any app that has previously failed WILL download over cellular network on the iPhone 5s. I've tried four separate location with WIFI access and these same apps will not download. I've cleared network statistics, restored the iPhone to factory defaults, changed Apple ID password, tried a different Apple ID, and trying to download apps on Mac Mini to sync to iPhone/iPad over tethered connection. The only partial fix I have discovered is to start download over cellular network and switch to WIFI download. Please... any ideas. I feel I may have left out some steps I might have taken so please feel free to ask any questions.

    I had this problem and solved it by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    Note: This will not delete any apps, songs, videos, or podcasts from your phone. It will only reset your wallpapers, brightness, bluetooth, contact sorting, network preferences (still remembers networks though), etc.  It's a bit annoying to go update all these back to how yo like, but much less annoying than a full restore.
    DO NOT press Erase All Content and Settings. This will delete everything and you'll have to restore from iTunes.

  • IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

    HELP!
    I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010.  From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it.  After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy.  I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
    1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
            (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
    2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
    3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder.  When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
            photos.
    4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
    5.     Programs won't update.  They will download onto my iMac but won't update.  Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
            Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns.  Skype won't open just gives a failure
            report.
    6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
    7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
    8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
    9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
    10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
    I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something.  Or I have something malicious on my computer.
    I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive.  A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
    And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
    Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
    Thanks so much.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    *Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
    Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
    Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
    The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

    I have changed the I phone 5 twice both times like for like & still problem is they're
    Please can anyone advise or help
    Very much appreciated  

    If you are using the same apple id on other devices and each of the other devices are updating the same apps sucessfully then you have an issue going on with the device being what's known as being a bit 'glitchy' What I would suggest you do is first to shut down the device completely by simply pressing on the sleep wake button, (power button on the top) for a period of 5-6 seconds untill you get the message to slide bar to shut down. Once the device is shut down and the wheel has stopped spinning, you are then free to restart the device.
    Once the device is restarted then please go to settings>itunes and app store Once at this area of settings you can then click on the apple id is showing there you then can click on the apple id going to where it reads sign out, Once you've signed out go right back to that same area and sign back in with the same apple id.
    What this is doing is simply logging you out and then back in with the same device.
    Good luck Friend.
