GB won't open- This is what I get... Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index  st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser

Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index  st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser.  Then I get this message...
Instrument Library Invalid
GarageBand Ecpects a valid instrument foledr in /Libraty/Application Support/GarageBand
Please choose a valid instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GB
Any solutions?

Is this a new installation of GarageBand or has it worked before on the same computer?
Or have you transferrred your GarageBand from a different computer?
The error message is saying, that your GarageBand installation is incomplete. There are essential foldrs missing in your system library. 
Check, if indeed both folders are missing or if only the permissions are set incorrectly.
Your system library (the folder "System" directly on your system drive) should have the following folders inside the folder "Audio", and they need to be readable by the system and by administrators.
And in the folder /Library/Application Support there should be the Instrument Library.
If these folders do not exist (or no longer exist), restore them from your backup-  If your GarageBand version is a new installation, the application may not hve been downloaded or installed completely, then reinstall GarageBand.
What is your GarageBAnd version, and how did you install it originally?
Regards
Léonie

  • Error on start: Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index

    I get the error "Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    Without this directory you can not use the LoopBrowser. Please make sure this directory exists" when starting Garage Band. I also cannot use the onscreen keyboard, or musical typing in GarageBand. All other sounds work fine.
    The only thing that changed since I last used GB was that I installed Leopard. (and that was a while ago, so I thought all was well and got rid of my last Tiger backup. )
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • " You cannot use the application "iTunes" with this version of MAC OS X."

    I am getting the response " You cannot use the application "iTunes" with this version of MAC OS X." How do i get Itunes on my Mac. I tried to download the newest version but it won't let me do that either.

    What operating system version are you using on your Macbook?  If you are still using Tiger 10.4 the new iTunes requires Leopard (10.5) or higher.

  • "the path does not exist" error opening shared adobe files on XP machine

    We recently upgraded a mac mini from Tiger (10.4.11) to Leopard (10.5.X) we updated to the most recent 10.5.
    We have an office with 3 macs and 1 XP.
    All users connect to the Mac Mini via SMB sharing.
    Everyone Authenticates as the same admin user.
    *The XP machine can open and save all file types EXCEPT Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files.*
    They are using CS3.
    The mac and XP users could open save and share all files prior to the leopard update.
    We used the "Archive and Install" option to upgrade to leopard.
    The shared files had the "unknown Group" error which we solved by adding them to the ADMIN group. This step changed the error message the the XP user was receiving.
    I have tried many networking fixes, including group policy on windows, turning off IPv6 on the Mini, but we cannot open or save files directly from Illustrator.
    When the file
    We can move files to the XP desktop then open and save. Files saved on the XP machine can be moved back to the mini and opened directly by all of the Mac users.
    Any guesses why this might be occurring?

    There are actually two separate error messages received by the windows user when trying to open files off of the Mini.
    "the path does not exist" and "this file cannot be found".
    This happens when we navigate directly to the file with windows explorer.

  • Database could not be opened. May be caused because database does not exist or lack of authentication to open the database.

    Hello,
    I've been running the DMV 'sys.event_log', and have noticed that I am getting a lot of errors about connection issues to some of my SQL Azure databases saying "Database could not be opened. May be caused because database does not exist or lack of authentication
    to open the database."
    The event type column says: 'connection_failed' and the event_subtype_desc column says: 'failed_to_open_db' both are associated with the above error message.
    I know that these databases are on-line as I have numerous people connected to them, all of whom are not experiencing any issues.  My question is, is there a query that you can run on SQL Azure to try and find out a bit more information about the connection
    attempts?
    If this was a hosted SQL solution it would be much easier.
    Marcus

    Hello,
    As for Windows Azure SQL Database, we can't access the error log file as On-premise SQL Server. Currently, it is only support troubleshooting the connection error with the following DMV. The SQL database connections events are collected and aggregated in
    two catalog views that reside in the logical master database: sys.database_connection_stats and sys.event_log. We can use sys.event_log view to display the details if there is error occurs.
    Just as  the connection failed describe, it may ocurrs when user didnot has login permission when connect to the SQL Database. If so, please verify the user has logon permission.

  • 'You cannot use the application ical.app with this version of Mac OS X'

    When I first upgraded to 10.5 ical and calculator both crashed when starting and now after upgrading to 10.5.1 I get the following message - 'You cannot use the application ical.app with this version of Mac OS X'
    This is only on my G4 powermac. No problem with Intel MacBook.

    Are you, by any chance, one of "those people" that move applications to something other than the default location?
    I know I am.
    When I upgraded, I saw the same problem - I had moved iCal (among others) outside of "applications" to something like "Applications/Business Apps"
    The version in "Business Apps" was the Tiger version, and it wouldn't run. However, the Leopard version (Installed to /Applications) worked fine.
    So, I deleted the "Tiger" version, moved the iCal to where I wanted it, and all was well.
    In a similar note, I put a number of iLive apps in a different folder -- and OS X software update stopped finding updates for those apps. I had to move them back to /Applications in order to get OS X software update to run them.

  • You cannot use the application "System Preferences" with this version OS X

    You cannot use the application “System Preferences” with this version of Mac OS X.
    I received this error message when trying to run System Preferences (SP) for the first time after running the 10.5.1 update (from the download, not software update). After the update, I repaired permissions. Did another restart. Same.
    I reinstalled 10.5.1 update. Same message. Logged in as another user. No change.
    I removed the com.apple.systempreferences.plist from ~/library/preferences. No change, and it did not re-create the .plist file.
    Any ideas? No one else seems to be having this problem as far as I can tell.
    dkrockville

    I have had this problem with many applications after updating to 10.5.1, including
    System Preferences, Calculator, Preview. Tried repairing permissions, and other tips from this thread. The strange thing is, the actual Leopard applications seem to have actually vanished? I don't know if this is anything to do with Time Machine; Anyway, My fix was:
    Download Pacifist (if you don't already have it), locate the apps that you're having problems with on the Leopard install DVD, and copy them to the Applications Folder (Click on 'Replace Bundle')
    Problem Solved for Me!
    Hope this Helps!

  • When opening an InfoPath form InfoPath states "list does not exist" in production, opens fine in test. NaN issue with Auto Increment

    Hello all. I have an InfoPath form that opens from the test server fine. However, when I try to open it in Production I receive the following SOAP response.
    "The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:
    Server was unable to process request. ---> List does not exist.
    The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user. ---> List does not exist.
    The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user."
    I am trying to fix an auto generated form field for the web part that runs the my Project Management list. In test the increment by 1 works fine. I.E. "LEAD-2015-5". In Prod the list is returning NaN ( Not a Number ) for each project
    id. I.E. "LEAD-2015-NaN"
    The list is in Standard View when I edit the web part/page.
    Any help is much appreciated. As a developer I despise SharePoint, but I have to do what I have to do! :)

    Hello,
    If you are trying to get max item id from list then it returns "NaN" if there is no item. If you have items in prod list then open your form in IP designer and check the data connection. Make sure that all data connection links are referring to
    prod links.
    Also make sure that user is having at least read permission to that list to access data so verify this also.
    Let us know your result

  • Cannot install Firefox on new HP running windows 7. After it extracts file I get this error message: specific path does not exist

    It then goes on to say, check path and try again. I created the file path and soon realized that it changes the name of the path each time.
    Example path:
    c:\\Users\Karen\AppData\Local\Temp\7zSCAD.tmp\setup.exe
    Running windows 7, 64 bit and was trying to download the new Firefox 7. When that didn't work I tried an older version and received the same message.
    I loved Firefox on my old computer which was running XP. I hope that there is a fix for this.
    Thanks!
