Why can't I quit garage band ?

HI,
my problem is that I can't close garageband and so switch of my computer. I also can't download extra digital instruments and loops ?
thanks

There may be many reasons for the download failing -  running out out of storage, network problems, permission problems on the system library, a firewall or Antivirus software interfering with the connection to the AppStore. It is really hard to say, what might be the problem in your case.
Try if anything in this lengthy discussion does help:   Re: Garageband was not able to install the new sounds

    Probably but for that kind of expertise I would ask the experts in the GarageBand forum.

  • How can I cancel "The Garage Band content is now downloading" once it starts? I thought it would show the size of the download, but it just assumes I have unlimited bandwidth, instead of mobile data rates which are super expensive.

    Once it started, it just shows it's progress and there's no option I can find to stop the download.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether it works, Try "Restore Sound Library" in Menu.

    How do I unprotect my audio files so I can upload them to garage band on my iPhone and use them

    Hi Chris,
    Format the flash drive in FAT32, save the file as you would normally and transfer it to the flash drive, then the PC. It should work fine unless one of the Word apps is older.

  • Can I use a garage band music (chelsea loft long song) as a music background in my website?

    Can I use CHELSEA LOFT LONG OR SHORT song (from garage band) as a music background in my videos. These videos will be post in my website, youtube, etc?
    Is a free copyright song?

    Here is a link to an Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2931?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The music is copyrighted, but you have a royalty free licence to use it. Because of the copyright I would include an acknowledgement when you use the loops.
    The GarageBand software license agreement says:
    "GarageBand Software. You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (Audio Content), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original music compositions or audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own music compositions or audio projects that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds."
    So don't worry, you can make commercial music with GarageBand, you just can't distribute the loops as loops.

  • Why is new version of garage band distorting my old tracks

    I have updated my MacBook Pro to Garage Band 10.0.  Now I'm trying to upload my songs created in the older version.  When I playback my older songs many of these are now coming out all distorted with what sounds like electrical interference and it isn't coming from any particular track.   None of my newly created recordings are a problem.  Any ideas why this may be happening?

    Have you checked, if any effects have been added to the Master Track?
    Select "Show Master Track" from the Tracks menu, show the Smart Controls, select the Master Track.
    Click the button to check for added audio unit. Check the Smart control Output area for effects, like "Compressor", that might distort the signal.
    Also check the Preference setting.
    You may want to toggle "Auto Normalize" in the "Advanced" preferences  on and off, and also experiment with the "Global Echo and reverb" setting in the "Audio" preferences.

  • Why can't i quit dashboard?

    Hello, i would like to know why i can't quit dashboard, can anyone tell me?
    if you can... please post.

    You can remove Dashboard from you dock so you won't see the arrow under it anymore. It's basically a system process not an application & so really isn't easy to "quit". If you're concerned about resources, Dashboard itself takes up very little, but any widgets you have on the dashboard can use resources. If you remove all the widgets from the dashboard (just displayed, not available for use), your resource usage of dashboard goes to basically nothing.

  • Can't open a garage band song in logic express trial

    I've been thinking about getting logic express, but I wanted to try the trail version first. When I try to open any of my garageband songs in logic it says, "Damaged Song or not a logic express song! Damaged songs might create problems and crashes!" After that box it says, "Rad Error! This is not a Logic Express song!" I would appreciate any advice on how I might fix this problem.

    I'm not using a different user account than previously, and haven't moved anything. That said, I was able to solve the problem. Here's what I did:
    1. Right-click and select GET INFO
    2. In the INFO window, open the SHARING & PERMISSIONS panel at the bottom
    3. In the lower right corner, click the LOCK to change it to UNLOCKED
    4. In the pop-up PASSWORD window, enter your MAC password. The LOCK changes to UNLOCKED.
    5. Click the PLUS SIGN lower left, choose the appropriate Person or User/Group (me) and click SELECT
    6. The name gets added to the bottom of the GET INFO window, but with “Read only” permission
    7. Click the “Read Only” selection and change to “Read & Write”
    PARTIAL SUCCESS:  The PROHIBIT badge is gone from the file, and instead of showing ZERO bytes, it now shows XXMB — for example, 32MB.
    HOWEVER, when I tried to open the file, I got the message, “Your file has no content”.
    TOTAL SUCCESS:  I discovered that I had to go back a level, click on the FOLDER that contained my prohibited songs, and follow the same instructions 1-7 above. Now, at last, I can access my files in the new GarageBand!
    Thanks to Hang Time and Leonie for responding so quickly to my plea for help! 

  • Why can't I quit you, photoshop?

    Go to Photoshop (CS6) Menu, and choose "Quit". Go back to InDesign, and Photoshop pops open. At first, I thought I'd hit the dock icon by accident. Wasn't the case. Over and over and over and over, quit, auto open. It was mildly amusing in a confusing way at first, but like a younger sibling that hovers their fingers just above your skin, this game is getting old. OSX 10.6.8; Photoshop CS6 13.0.6; InDesign CS6 8.0.2; Acrobat Pro 10.1.12; Chrome 21.0.1180.89.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this stop?

    Hi Averyinthemoon,
    Please try to create a new account on mac and check if the issue persists.
    Please refer to below article on how to enable new account.

  • Why can't I quit Safari?

    The Xs within each tab of Safari are gone, so I have to right-click each tab and select "Close tab."  Then when I go to "File," the "Quit Safari" option is grayed out.  I right-click on the Safari icon on the dock, and select "Quit Safari," but nothing happens.  I've tried restarting my computer, but it says that Safari is open and won't allow it to restart.  What's up with that?

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Reluanch Safari.

  • Garage band help appears in a foreign language. can i change the help to english?

    in os 10.9.7 garage band help appears in a foreign language. Can i change the Garage band help to help to english?

    The GarageBand help is supposed to use the language that is set as your Primary Language in the System Preferences:
    Check the settings, drag the language you want to use to the top of the list,  and restart the system .
    I that does not fix it, reinstall GarageBand. Then the correct language files are probably missing in the application bundle.
