Please Help - GarageBand won't launch

Hey there,
I haven't used Garageband in quite a while. It was working fine the last time I did.
Now that I tried lauching it, it won't work anymore. I can't remember doing anything or messing with it. It will initialize and then close immediately.
This is the beginning of the Problem Details that I get:

Really useful tool for deleting preferences
http://www.appzapper.com/
Download a trial of it, install it, launch it, and drag your Photoshop CS4 app icon onto the window. It will find ALL of the associated preference files and list them in the window. Uncheck the Photoshop CS4 app and folder, and then "Zap" the rest. Empty your trash, and then double click the PS app icon. it should open and rebuild all of your preferences.

Garageband won't launch

Basically garageband won't launch. I have gone through all of the support online, forums and even forums attached to these forums....
I have recently installed Pro Tools and that worked but it is a real hard program to use.
So uninstalled it. I deleted everything to do with Pro Tools and all of the associated plug ins. Some forums suggested it is to do with Melodyne and ReWire plug ins. I have deleted those.
I click on Garageband in the dock - it initiallises with the bar and then stops, then the error box comes up - couldn't launch etc etc.
I have tried to open garageband through another file incase garageband was trying to open the last recording and it has a bug. Still doesn't launch.
Previous to installing Protools - Garageband worked a treat.
I have since reinstalled garageband from the start up disks that came with the computer and have all the required updates from Apple installed as well.
All of my previous files that were recorded using Garageband were saved on an external hard drive.
Is there something else that I am missing to get it to launch?

Thanks for your advice - before you answered I thought that it may have been that I installed ProTools LE before the summer and the bundle that comes with it - I uninstalled it at the end of the summer as I didn't really like the M-Box2. Anyway, I have taken out all the folders relating to didgidesign and izotope, deleted GarageBand and re-installed it. hen it first opened it produced a box saying 'thankyou for using izotope software would like to authenticate now or continue with the demo. I clicked on demo and GarageBand opened up fine...
Thanks for your help...I'm not sure if it going to continue to work but we'll see - I thought that telling you about the ProTools & related software may have been useful...

Please Help! Won't import Garageband tracks into iTunes

So, i've done this before, but i can't get it to go into itunes now for some reason! Please help if you know anything i coud be doing wrong. I did delete the playlist that it normally goes into in itunes accidentally, how do I get it back?

Is there a message that comes up when you try to export to itunes? Is there anything specific that is suggesting that it didn't work? Be sure to search itunes first.

Please help - AppleWorks won't open. The icon just bounces in the Dock.

I have been writing and saving all day on Appleworks. Now when I want to open up an Appleworks file, it won't open up. I tried clicking it from an icon on my desktop, clicking a file from my Recent Items list, and getting one from my hard drive. Nothing opens up. I tried turning off my computer and restarting it and it still will not open any Appleworks file. The Appleworks icon at the bottom bar of my computer just bounces up and down, but nothing opens up. I am able to open my iWorks Pages files without any problem. The bad thing is that I need to get my saved Appleworks files and edit them. Please help... Thanks in advance, Teachermom99

Welcome to Apple Discussions
When an application stops working as it should, it's likely due to corrupt preferences. You can follow the steps in this user tip or use the reset function of Dale Gillard's Sidekick.

Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

Please help - iMessage won't work

So I updated my phone today like I'm sure a lot of you did and I tried going in to activate my iMessage, I've tried it for hours and even reset my phone and it won't work. I know my id and password are right and my connection to my wifi is good but every time I do it it pops up after about 30 seconds of trying and says "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
Someone please help ... What do I do? My date & time thing is already set to on as I previously read.

If you are having trouble with SMS messages, then you would need to address that with your carrier, unless you are receiving them and just not get a notification. If you have followed the steps I gave you for iMessage and you are not receiving notifications, then check the settings for Notification Center. If you have Messages set to show on the lock screen and play a sound, and display a banner, etc. then your next step is a restore. First restore from a backup, and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. Restoring the phone will result in the loss of all data. Make sure you have backed up the phone, synced all content and imported photos to the computer.

Please help, CS3 won't run with 10.5.2! Please!

Installed 10.5.2 on my g5 dual 2.5 w 4.5 gigs ram (NOT) intel. Now my AE projects won't run. One started to and then quit. This is major for me. Involves dozens of projects. Please help.

Yes, my powerbook is also trouble-free.
But it's just too slow to run AE on.
And yes, yes, I did repair permissions. I did everything including a "safe" starup, repair permissions many many times, etc. etc. etc.
I'm beginning to think the problem with AE was with non-ae plugins. But then why did automator and software update cease to work?????

Please help - why won't my Ipod songs transfer into new Itunes?

I have a new Macbook, and want to move all the songs from my Ipod into my Itunes library on this computer. Nothing works. Can someone please help?
Please note - currently my library is on my crappy HP. But I did read that you can transfer all songs from the Ipod alone (including those not purchased from Itunes).
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
mac book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I use an application called Senuti. That transfers all content from your iPod to your Mac, including non purchased content. It's free and easy to use. With your iPod connected to your Mac, launch Senuti and the rest is pretty simple. I would suggest you create a folder on your desktop and set your destination to that folder in the Senuti preferences. Also, it's a good idea to keep everything organized by checking the artist and album boxes in the preferences as well. Like I said, it's pretty easy. Good luck.

GarageBand won't launch since last upgrade

Hello
I haven't been able to launch GarageBand since I updated it from the "Software Update" program. It downloaded around 1 Gig of instruments and loops and won't launch since then, jumps once in the dock and stays still.
I tried deleting prefs and it didnt do anything. I created another user account and it couldn't launch it from there either.
I was wondering if anyone had the same problem or knew a way to solve it... since I just bought a midi keyboard! Just my luck.
PB G4 10.4.11 and GB 4.1.2 (248.7)

Freed up some disk space, ran a couple of maintenance programs, now works fine.

Please Help--It Won't Work At All!!!

Today when I was using my iPod, the battery went completely down, to the point where I had to charge it. I plugged it into the computer, and iTunes didn't come up. So I took the USB cable out and plugged it back in. Still didn't work, so I manually brought iTunes up. My iPod is all black, and nothing works. On iTunes, it doesn't give me the option to sync my iPod. The battery is totally drained, so I can't toggle it or reset. Can someone please help me??!!??!!

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Please help I can not launch Adobe Reader XI

My adobe reader suddenly stopped working yesterday.

Also tried running it in Non protected mode. also tried repairing both versions in the control panel. nothing's working! very strange considering up to a few days ago version 9 was wortking fine and has been for years

Please help - FCP won't export using DVCPro HD (or any HD) settings.

Please help. I'm under a tight deadline to deliver.
The native setting for both the project and footage is DVCPro HD 720p60 but when I export with this setting, or any other HD setting, whether to a Quicktime Movie or using Quicktime Conversion, the resulting image has thick black lines on both sides of the screen and in the middle.
I have Quicktime Pro and have already reinstalled FCP to make sure I have all the components. But it's still not working.
Please - any advice would help.
Thanks.

Well, have you done the usual things for when FCP doesn't act right?
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue and run it.
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Please help: iTunes won't import whole songs!

I have put my old hard drive (which contained all of my music) into my new computer, and added all the tracks into iTunes on the new computer. Unfortunately, some of the tracks cut off prematurely, even though the track shows the correct time (it just goes right to the next track instead of running completely through). Short of manually importing each CD back into iTunes, I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Hi thanks. I have try'd installing an older version off a disk that i've got but it get a message telling me it is not possible to install an older version. Will i have to remove the current one 1st? an if so how do i do it like i said i'm a bit off a novice? do i just drag it in to the trash?
Thanks

Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

Hello out there,
please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
Please, does anybody know what to do?
Any hints and help are much appreciated!
Thanks a lot
and best regards
Frank

See if this helps: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod

Please Help Phone Won't Turn On!

I've had my iphone 3G since it came out and it hasn't really given me any problems. Starting Tuesday night it started doing this weird thing, the screen turns white then black and it won't go back on until it turns itself on. Sometimes this lasts longer then other times. Apple told me they would give me an appointment to go to their store. But today for some reason the phone won't go on at all. Please somebody I really need help. Thanks!

Have you tried a reset:
Page 34 of the manual:
"Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on page 131. "
