Garageband wont allow me to open any of my songs to edit/play?
"The file couldn't be opened" is the message I get. Everything is up to date. It has been doing this for a while now, and recently I was able to create two new songs(it randomally worked) and then when I went to close the last one and reopen the first one(of the two new ones)it wouldnt allow me to open it. Or any of them for that matter, or create a new song either. Any ideas? I'm at my wits end with this whole mac programing thing. I'm having this issue with my MBR and a duplicate picture problem on my iMac!
Where are your song? On an external drive or your system drive?
Do you remember, when this started? Did you install anything new at that time? Audio plug-ins? Update software? Did you run cleaner applications, like MacKeeper?
Justs in case this is a problem of failing hardware, is your backup of your system current? This may be a problem of a failing drive.
Try to narrow down the problem by making a few tests.
Can you save and open GarageBand projects on a different drive? For example thumbsdrive?
Can you open and save GarageBand projects when working from a different user account, see: Isolating an issue by using another user account
Can you open and save GarageBand projects when working in Safe Mode? See: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? and Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Please report back, when you know, if a different drive, a different account, or safe boot mode change anything.

when we try to buy a new app or update our existing apps, my account settings wont allow me to enter ANY of my credit cards. It says to contact apple/itunes/support, but when I do, I don't understand how to navigate it to find an answer. Help!

When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says i have to set up my iPhone, and wont allow me to sync any media i have already purchased on it. My phone is not new, so I dont understand? This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software. I have tried to re-set up my phone but it makes no difference and deletes everything off my phone.

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -
Everytime I try and sign into my iCloud account it tells me I can't log in due to a server error, but there is nothing wrong with my server . It also wont allow me to view any of my Photos or Documents that I have backed up. Please help
Hi,
Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2
Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments? Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments. If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up. Perhaps stary here...

i just updated my itunes and now I am unable to open any of my songs... please help me. Every time i click it, it says it cannot be read because it was made by a newer version of itunes.
Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

GB '09 won't open ANY of my song files
I have a Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz iMac and have been using GB '09. The hard drive recently died so Apple put a new one in. I cloned my 15" MBP to the iMac and now GB '09 won't open any of my song files. I already tried deleting the GB files in Library/Preferences, and I have reinstalled iLife '09 once already and nothing has worked.
In the process of troubleshooting I even created a brand new song file and saved it to the desktop. I quit GB and then restarted it and tried to open the file I just created seconds ago and I get an error message saying:
The document "My Song.band" could not be opened.
Thay's it. No further info to help me try to figure out why. I've got about half a dozen third-party plugins but I'd rather not start monkeying around with them if I don't have to. I was hoping someone out there has had this happen and knows how to fix it. I know there are various pref and cache files squirreled around on the hard drive, just don't know exactly where and which ones are safe to delete to try and fix this problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Okay, problem solved. I tried trashing the test song file I created and got a message that "The item will be deleted immediately". This made me think there were some hard drive permission issues which may be causing my GB problem. I Google around the internet and found the cause and solution.
It seems I didn't have write access to my own "Home" folder on the HD. Pretty odd, but that was the case. I did a "Get Info" (Cmd+I) on my home folder and added my primary user with Read and Write privileges. After that, files I deleted would just sit in the trash as normal and I was able to open my song files in GB.
Here's a link to solution that I found:

My iphone 4s will not allow me to open applcations that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!
Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again. -
My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??
You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

Why is Creative cloud not allowing us to open any programs in CS6?
Recently we have tried to open Photoshop CS6 and it is asking to renew our Creative cloud subscription. We no longer have a CC subscription. That was only opened for a short time on a completely separate computer. The computer we are speaking of has had CS6 installed for about 2 years now without any problems. Now all of a sudden when you launch the program it connects online to verify the subscription, and it then says that we need to renew the CC subscription. We've tried using Creative cloud cleaner tool but it still doesn't help. Does anyone know of a solution?
