Mac lost power while Garageband project was open.

I had been adding some extra tracks onto a project I was working on. After getting the mix right I sent it in full to itunes. So I do have an audio file of the competed track. However the macbook lost power before I had a chance to save the garageband project.
When I restarted the macbook the last saved version of the project opened.
Can I recover the garageband project with the additional tracks I was working on?
or....
Can I send the itunes version of the track back to garageband with the various tracks split back out?
Thanks.

not the project, no, but if you recorded audio, you likely can recover the raw audio files. ctrl-click the project, choose Show Contents, and open the media folder. any existing audio files will be there, drag and drop them into the timeline of a new project.

that is not possible with any consumer software (it's like mixing blue and yellow ink together and then trying to get just the blue back)

Lost power while downloading Software Updates...

Hi,
I would like to get some guidance in the following situation. I was using the Software Update utility in OSX Lion to download some updates for my computer. Everything was working fine until my home lost power while the computer was in the middle of downloading one of the patches. Since my Mac is a MacBook Pro the computer stayed on during the brief outage (lasting less than a minute), but software update showed a warning message indicating that some downloads could not be finished due to a lost of connectivity. I clicked the "OK" button and was returned to the SU downloads list. When the connection was reestablished I clicked again the install button. The dowloads continued and the computer then restarted to install them.
Since the update download was interrupted and then the item continued to download from where it let off; are there any chances of data curruption? or the software update has some redundancies to detect the corrupted update data?
Thanks for your assistance on this matter!

Not to worry. If the download continued, opened and installed. Part of the operation is a check of the download.
Perfect, so I won't need to wipe my drive and reinstall Lion again. So far it seems that all updates are running OK, I am not seeing any indications of errors in Console at the time indicating some type of corruption.
I was really worried because I had to perform a Lion clean install this morning after Console started giving me some messages about a wrong checksum, and this power outage came after I finished the installation of OSX Lion and the bundled apps and was updating them to their latest version via software update.
Thanks for the assistance!

I lost Power while I was 50% through on my Free Mountain Lion Download.

I lost Power while I was 50% through on my Free Mountain Lion Download. Restarted my system and did not find the Download on my Launchpad. Is there anyway I can continue that download? Tried refilling the form, no Luck Though!
The form says I have already claimed my Free Code for my MacMini Serial!
I live in India and this is a very common problem I am guessing! Slow Internet Speeds and Power Issues!
Help would really be Appreciated!

Thanks so much mate! The download has begun, from the top though! Doesn't really matter as long as I have it downloading! Cheers! And Big Thanks again!

My dock(Mac) freezes occasionally while Photoshop CC Is open.

My OS dock mouse over animation freezes sometimes while Photoshop CC Is open. (Mac) Cause? solution? The dock itself is still functional, just the mouse over animation stops working.

Photoshop can't interfere with the Dock process. It could be system paging slowing everything down, or a bug in the Dock code.

Powerbook lost power while reformatting, now it refuses to boot

I was reformatting my old powerbook, everything was going well. I was able to install the OSX and I was in the setup part of the reformatting. My batter is dead already so I'm using the power adaptor as the sole source of power. I accidentally unplugged it and now when I turn it on it refuses to go anywhere else. It would go to the blue screen with the Apple logo for a while and then the Apple logo would be replaced by the stop sign (the circle with the slash across it) and its stuck like that. I tried turning it off then restarting it with the install disc, problem persisted. I tried rebooting it while pressing at least one out of every key on my keyboard, still nothing. Anyone experience this before? what could I do?

Hi, thanks, I was able to reinstall it, but the problem still persists . . . l have reformatted it 3 times now. By that I mean i completed the setup (they ask for the name, sets up internet etc.) I then go to the desktop etc. However, after I turn it off then I turn it on again, I get the same problem, I go the screen with the apple, then the apple turns into the stop sign and its stuck like that each of the three times I reformatted it. I did a hardware test and it said that all my hardware passed.

Equium L - Lost power while doing a full recovery

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Equium L series.
I started doing a full recovery to the factory settings but unfortunately, I disconnected the wire to the AC and there was no battery either, so the computer shut down immediately. The product recovery dvd was inserted and was being used but the computer disconnected before I chose the type of recovery I wanted, so I assume nothing has been deleted in my hard drive.
The problem is that when I turn on the laptop now, it won't work. I just have a black screen and nothing else is happening. It seems like I have to dial a command or something like that. Could anybody help? I actually have some files on the hard drive that I would like to save before completing a full recovery to factory settings with the DVD. How can I get my laptop launching windows xp again?
Thanks,

Hi
Its good news that you are able to start the unit and that the HDD is recognized in BIOS.
This means that everything is OK with the HDD.
You want to rescue the files on the HDD hmm try to boot from bootable system disk like WinPE.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Preinstallation_Environment
This should allow you to get access to the HDD and to the files stored on HDD.
Maybe then you should be able to move the files to external USB HDD or similar
Finally take your recover disk and then format the whole HDD and reinstall the OS again.

My iphoto library (located on an external hard drive) was open when the hard drive was accidentally disconnected. We plugged it back in, but the library is frozen. Any suggestions on what I can do without corrupting/losing my iphoto library?

The cable to the external hard drive that houses my iphoto library was accidentally disconnected while the library was open and up on the screen. We plugged it back in, but now the screen is frozen. Has anyone experienced this before? If I force quit, will I corrupt and lose access to the library on the external hard drive?

Shutdown the Mac. Disconnect and power off the external drive (if it has its own power supply). Reconnect the external drive and power on (if applicable). Boot Mac. If the external drive is not reading properly, open Disk Utility, select external drive, run Repair Disk.

Lost power!!!

I have the Megaworks THX 550 and yesterday I lost power while I had the speakers on mute.
I checked the connections, ok there. I checked the fuse, but that did not help.
Does anyone know what else could the problem be?
Do I need to open up the subwoofer? Is there another fuse internal to the sufwoofer?
Please help.
Bill

I don't know how Megaworks works (), but if they are similar to S750, they should have a green led mounted on the rear panel showing the status of power. There are three cases:
- Led off
- Led blinking
- Led on

Can you open a Garageband project as it was on a different Mac?

Not sure how to phrase this question, but essentially I need to open a Garageband project on a different Mac to make edits. Not just an mp3 or wav, I mean the actual project in which you can make changes to your song and then export. I see that there is a .aiff file for each individual track in the project, but I need the actual project file. I see there is a 4 kb .band file, would that allow me to do so? Sorry for the dumb question

I see there is a 4 kb .band file, would that allow me to do so? Sorry for the dumb question
The .band file is your project file, yes. If you transfer this file, you should be able to continue to work on the project, provided you have compatible GarageBand versions - the same version or newer. And the same instruments and loops should be installed.
Have you used any custom instruments or loops, that you created in GarageBand and saved to the Instrument library or to the Loop Browser? If you used such custom items, you would have to transfer them as well.
What is your GarageBand version?

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. How do I get them back?

The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. When I looked in the trash, I saw two things labled "iTunes library extras", and "iTunes library genius". When I tried opening them, it said that I needed to open them with an application, and that I needed to chose one. I chose iTunes. When I tried double clicking on "iTunes library extras" after this, all it did was open up iTunes. Nothing else. Someone please help me because I had a lot of songs that I liked, and recently downloaded. And it will be a pain to get them all back if no one can help me.

Are the files still physically on your HD?
[User]/Music/iTunes/Media/Music is the default location. Unless you suddenly have a bunch of new "free space" on your hard drive, they're still where they were, you just need to create a new library file.

How do i open a garageband project from my old mac to my new macbook?

I have had my old macbook for 3 years and have just purchased a macbook pro os x.
I saved garageband projects to a usb from my old mac and went to open them on my new but they wont open?
Help please

GarageBand doesn't reference audio files, it imports them all into the project package.
One exception: If you copy regions between GB projects, the new project only refers to the old one, so if you delete the old projects, the audio is gone. Same with loops, you have to have them in your current GB installation for them to work.
If you save a project "as Archive", all the referenced files are included.
