HT202873 I just purchased GB10 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message, "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again."  I have tried EVERY suggestion!

I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again."  I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working!  If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this.  Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS.  I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything. 

Immargarita,  Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store.  They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store.  I was not going home until it worked.
Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started.   So... I qualified for tech support.  I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed.  Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work.  I have the good old PS disc.  I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support.  Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store.   BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor.  The download stopped once.  Then he continued it and everything is there now.
Shame on you Apple.
Hope this helps.
