No Instruments in "New Project" window

When I open GarageBand (2009) and the initial window opens, showing "New Project," "Learn to Play," etc. down the left column, I select New Project. But only "Podcast" and "Movie" appear in the option field. No instruments. Aren't instruments supposed to appear there?
Thanks-

I don't have GarageBand 09, but the projects you should see in the "New Projects" panel, are stored in your System Library as templates. Check the folder
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Templates/Projects/ in the System LIbrary. For GarageBand '11 I see the following templates:
01. Piano.band
06. Acoustic Instrument.band
02. Electric Guitar.band
07. Songwriting.band
03. Voice.band
08. Podcast.band
04. Loops.band
09. Movie.band
05. Keyboard Collection.band
So you should see at least Piano, Acoustic Instruments, Electric Guitar, Voice, etc.
If these project tempates are missing, you could try to restore them from a backup.

After installing CS4 Master Suite on new Windows 7 X64 laptop, Premier Pro new projects window will not accept input.

I'm migrating my CS4 Master Suite to a new computer. The new system is a Dell M3800 running Windows 7 x64. Install goes fine except for a failure on Flash install. Once install is complete Premier Pro won't accept any input on the New Projects window. You can click on the file name field and change it but that's about it. No buttons will function. If you change the name and leave the field you can not change it again. No further input is accepted and the actual change you made isn't applied. You can exit out of the window with the X. You can also go to an existing project no problem. All other applications seem to be working fine.
Tried uninstall and cleanup and reinstall. Problem does not change. Made sure anti-virus and firewall were disabled before install. No other applications are running during install.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

No Tools in new project window for xcode

Hi
Can anyone please help? I have recently started to learn C language and currently reading a book that advices using xcode, this has been downloaded with no problems from the original disk. In the back of the book it advices opening a new project where by the assistant window pops up with various languages and more and to select "tools", this should be located at the bottom of the menu list underneath "static library" but it's not there. I have inserted the disk and installed xcode tools.mpkg, I have also searched on Google and it mentioned about installing x11 SDK so that it shows in the default menu I have also done this yet it still does not appear? I cannot get tools within the new project menu and I'm getting quite frustrated as I do not know what I am now doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can start to understand and explore C. Many thanks for reading!

Xcode's interface has changed from release to release. It sounds like the book may be referring to an older version of Xcode where the location of that template project was different.
I assume that the following would probably be what you're looking for:
Hope this helps....
P.S. Two really quick tips. If you're viewing a source code file and you see a function, method, or constant and you'd like to see where it's defined, hold down Command-Option and then double-click on the word as if you were going to select it. If possible, this will open the header or source file where that item is defined. (If there's more than one possibility, it'll show a popup menu of choices first).
The other tip is very similar. If you'd like to see Xcode documentation for a function, method, or constant (like in the first tip), hold down Option (rather than Command-Option) and double-click on the word as if you were going to select it. This will automatically open the Xcode help window and issue a search for that item.

Load iM to new project window

Every time I load iM it auto loads the last project I was working on. Is it possible to configure iM to load to a new project screen instead?
Thanks, Dale

Hi Dale:
I have read where others have saved a blank project to the desktop. That way, you can double-click that project and, since there is nothing to load, it opens quickly.
Then you can chose New project from the drop-down list.
Not a fix, but at least a workaround.

"New Project" choose option & when choose new, "Electric Guitar" -nothing!

Hi, Please would someone help me figure this GB preview/problem out?!
GB was fine for a few months, new computer etc but then...
here it is:
One day when I opened GB, i selected 'electric guitar' icon option in the 'new project' section where you can choose 'software instrument',
'real instrument' and 'electric guitar' options
to start the project off with, clicked 'choose' and nothing happened.
So i chose a normal one and went in and tried to get up a 'new track' and selected 'electric guitar' from there, but nothing. No amps or pedals anywhere in the right hand list section. Normal/software tracks opened and worked ok.
Now there are no icons/options in the 'new project' window,
at all!
It's dark grey - but if i double click on the 'new project' button on left list,
it brings up a basic style project name/signature/tempo etc window and then when it opens - does with software track.
So if i choose 'new track' from Track menu and select 'electric guitar' from the drop down preview tab thing w pictures like the preview thing used to be on the 'new project' window used to have, it doesn't do anything 'cept bring up the keyboard...
All the 'magic' and 'learn to play' etc options come up with preview choice/options when clicked but not 'New Project'.
Any ideas anyone?! This is what i've tried so far:
1. i've deleted garageband plists except the one that says "com.apple.garageband.LSSharedFileList.plist" cus i don't know what that one is exactly -
Is it safe to delete it?!
2. repaired permissions
3. Thought about other apps that might be causing probs - uninstalled a Guru drum thing -still no luck-
4. in the library and i can't find 'electric guitar' folder
in any of the application support folders...
5. and wondered - I installed a retail copy of Logic Express 8
so i thought perhaps that was something to do with it...
can't remember if that was around the same time - maybe - but
it's so difficult to use and i'm learning it o so slowly - i really need my faithful ole GB to work
in the meantime!!
Would appreciate any info/ similar experiences, solutions etc,
before i resort to a GB re-install from disc
(if that's possible from the ones that came with the computer, perhaps...???)
Thanks in advance for helping a girl with a guitar
who doesn't want to **** her neighbours off....

PRE 9--clicking on buttons in New Project screen does nothing

This is strange. PRE 9 had been working fine. Now, when I launch the program and the New Project window comes up asking me to type in a name, indicate where it is being saved to and to change whatever settings I must, I cannot do any of these. I cannot type in a name and clicking on the buttons does nothing. When I hover the cursor over the buttons, the color shade changes as if everything is active but nothing happens when I click on the button.
I uninstalled and reinstalled four times.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thank you very much.

Problem to make new project in visual studio 2012 Ultimate RTM This is often caused by registry permission problems

hi
i Install Visual studio Ultimate 2012 RTM and ..
when i want to create a new project (windows application form C#) give me this error :"Visual Studio does not have permissions to read the template information from the system registry. This is often caused by registry permission problems"
what can i do for this problem ?
how can i solve this ?
Visual studio Ultimate 2012 RTM

This issue is quite wide-spread and it affected older Visual Studio versions. I am disapointed by the amount of junk advice and the lack of proper stance from Microsoft.
The only correct solution I could find was provided by HallCrash on July 01, 2010 in this similar thread:
social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbexpress2008prerelease/thread/c273b0e1-7f46-4065-afaf-4edf285d2531
Ironically, that thread is locked and I was not able to give recognition to HallCrash there ...
You'd have to scroll almost to the bottom to find HallCrash's solution. That solution is based on a Microsoft supported tool (SubInACL) which can be downloaded here: microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23510. It limits the registry changes strictly
to Visual Studio. Nevertheless, start by creating a System Restore Point.
I do not trust and would not recommend using unknown software (such as the Softpedia suggestion) for this.
Cheers

Having trouble with the "New Project" tab on the main menu.

Whenever I open garageband, the new project window doesn't display all of the icons. It only shows the Voice, Podcast, and Movie icons and none of these show the picture anymore. It used to start up fine and this just started happening a couple days ago. Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you installed Logic?

Welcome to CS3.
Before you post any further questions, please take a look at the video tutorials in Adobe's video workshop. I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to save you from having to ask many basic questions that can be answered by watching the video tutorials.
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
It is a great resource and can get you up and running. Just select Premiere Pro CS3 from the products window, then select the topic "Getting Started" and finally the title. Start by selecting "setting up a project" under the titles window.
Its like having your own in-house instructor.
However, as Jeff said, the trial version will not have certain features enabled.
Good luck.

Where's songwriting gone from new project?

just downloaded upgrade for GBand and songwriting has disappeared from new project window - just got podcast and movie? any ideas please?

Unfortunately, places support in Photos is almost nonexistent. The Years/Collections/Moments views (command +1) combine date & places into groupings, but you have no control over that. You can search on a place name, which may help find all the photos from a specific location, but unless you do something like create an album from those results, there isn't much Photos offers in this respect.
Also note that you can see location data but not change it, nor can you add location data to items that don't already have it.
If you want these features back, please send Apple feedback.

Instruments in Logic Pro 9 Library will not load: I try to add a new instrument on a project and get a "cannot be found" error.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
As a faculty member in the School of Music, I have just acquired a copy of Logic Pro 9.1.8 through my University. The programs and instrument packs were installed by our IT department and show as being fully installed on Logic Pro when I search for additional content through the Logic Pro tab at the top of the screen. The window shows that all 6 Jam Packs, Logic Pro & Main Stage Content (Essential and Additional) GarageBand content, and Surround content is installed. However when I try and add a new instrument on a project, most of these instruments cannot be found. I get the following error:
Audio file “KB_pizz_f_C1.wav” not found!
I then press the Continue Tab, and it looks for the instruments in an empty file that Logic creates in the Music section of the hard drive. I have investigated the sounds by going through the MAC Hard Drive>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments folder, and tried to copy the sounds into the Music>Logic folder created by the program. That does not work either. Even attempting to go into these Logic Pro instrument files one at a time has proved fruitless. I am told that the file cannot be opened.
The files appear to be installed, but cannot be accessed or opened. They all have that translucent grey appearance when I attempt to click on the icon. This is true for about 80% of the files in the instrumental library. Whenever I create an instrument, the EVP88 Electric Piano is installed by default. There are a few instruments that I can successfully replace this default instrument with, but a majority of the instrumental library remains unavailable. Can anyone help?

Kurt:
You might try a different way of adding the video files to the web page. This demo page has one where the file does not load until the play button is selected: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 9 short videos on it using that method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. Just add a screenshot of one of the movie frames or any photo you want and add the Play button on or below it.
You manually upload the movie file to your server so iWeb is not involved in the uploading the file at any time.
Similarly this demo page, QT movies via iFrame, has a method that has you manually uploading the file to the server and linking to it via iFrame code. That page also has other similar methods.
Another method is demonstrated in Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site on his Video page. Here you also upload manually.

I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success. Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

Want To Have Flash Project Open In New Browser Window

Hi,
My project outputs and plays perfect to Flash (let default to
Flash 7) but when viewing it (via a link from a web page) it opens
in a "next" window and at the end, if you use the X (EXIT) button
from the player control bar it wants to close the browser window
and does not take you back to the webpage (where I have the link to
play). I cannot seem to find an option in the Preferences or during
output to make the player open in a "new" browser window. Is it
possible there is a browser setting for this instead of setting in
Captivate? (IE 6 or 7) Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Hi leh1, and welcome to the User Community for Captivate!
The window in which any content plays is determined by the
code contained for the link,
in the web-page from which it is launched. In a nutshell,
you add these parameters to the link when it is created in the
"Parent" window.
Below is a snippet from a Menu Builder project in which the
links to "Project1" and "Project2" are set to open in a "New"
window, without chrome (note the many "
=no" following an equal sign), at a size of 720 pixels by
540 pixels ... the snip below shows a link to "Project1.htm", a
document containing a Captivate movie. I have bolded the specific
entries that control the type window ("OpenCustomLink") and the
size of that window ("width=720,height=540"):
<P style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; position:
absolute; left: 90px; top: 149px; text-decoration: none; font:
normal 18pt Arial; color: #000000" title="Project 1" onclick="
OpenCustomLink('project1.htm', '_blank',
'scrollbars=no,status=no,
titlebar=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,
fullscreen=no,
width=720,height=540'); "
onmouseover="this.style.color='#0000FF'; "
onmouseout="this.style.color='#000000';">Project 1</P>
(some spaces inserted to avoid horizontal scroll)
All of which is to say, the target window is controlled from
the link in the parent document. I wouldn't suggest you just
copy-paste the above code, as I took liberties with it. I
would suggest that you can do this yourself with your own
HTML editor (Dreamweaver, etc.), or even better, get your local
web-guru to do it for you.
All the best!!
