Hi Paula,
If I understand correctly you already purchased iLife '11 and updated your computer with it. I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say that GarageBand (GB) keeps asking for updates. Perhaps this will help. Even though iLife '11 is a new software, there already has been a number of software updates to iPhoto '11, iMovie '11, and GB '11 as well. The new software updates come during weekdays, usually on Tuesday or Wednesday. In general it's advised to check up for new software updates on regular basis. I do it every day from Monday through Friday. Sometimes there is whole bunch of updates available every week, and sometimes there is nothing for some time. So, if by any chance you haven't updated your software since the time you installed iLife '11, it's possible that all these updates are waiting till you do what you have to do, meaning, click on Apple icon in upper left corner of your screen, and then click on Software Update in scroll down menu, after you do that, the box with a message will appear on the screen. If there aren't any updates it will say so, in that case click on Quit. If there is something available, go for it, just follow the instructions. You can update right away or latter, but you need these updates. If you want to be sure that your GB is up to date, open any project, click on GarageBand in menu bar (left upper corner of your screen), then click on Check for Updates in down scroll menu. If there is update available, just follow the instructions, if there is nothing there, the message box will appear saying that your GB is up to date.
Cheers!
