WHY ISN'T GARAGE BAND WORKING?!?!

I click on the Garage Band icon in the dock. The icon bounces as usual. Then the bouncing stops. It doesn't open. No black arrow under the icon to indicate the program is running. Everything else works fine. I've tried hitting AppleOptionEsc, but Garage Band is not running, so I can't force quit. I've also tried closing everything else down, restarting, shutting down for awhile, unhooking everything from the wall, removing the battery for a few minutes, and nothing works. Still the same thing. It's been doing this for two days now.
Somebody, please, help me..!

I just transferred my garage band songs from my iphone to my mac. Why won't garage band open them? I just upgraded to ilife '11. Still won't work. Garage Band cannot open files in the "data" format.. Any Ideas?

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

IMac into cam adaptor into garage band works,but GB only sees left channel.

iMac into cam adaptor into garage band works,but GB only sees left channel. Do you think it's the wiring of iMIcs USB vs. the camera adaptor? Or is there a switch in GarageBand that will bring in both channels? Thanks!

Sorry, I meant iMic into Camera Adaptor, not iMac. (no option to edit and re post ones own post)

Both have recently been updated with IOS7

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS4268 Why isn't my iMessage working?!

Why isn't my iMessage working?!?

go on settings and scroll down to "MESSAGES" make sure iMessages is ON, now scroll down just a bit and look for an option reading "send & Receive" click on it and make sure it is either your apple ID or your phone number, wait 1-3 hours or over night and it should work, sometimes it takes a while to activate, ive come across this issue many times, hope it worked!

I think that the Spam Detector runs before your custom filters, and custom filters only work on the inbox folder. If Spam Detector moved it from the inbox before the filters were run, then the filter wouldn't delete it.

Why doesn't Garage Band use wav files?

I would like to use Garage Band to edit wav files I have, but it won't recognize them - only seems to work with songs I imported from cassette tapes. Why?

Thanks for the suggestion. I do have the option to use Total Recorder in Windows which I also have on my Mac. That is also free and I used it a lot when I had PC. So guess that is the route I will take. Just thought I would see if I could do it in Garage Band as the sound view is bigger than in TR, and also I wouldn't have to switch over to Windows. By the way, does Audacity take up a lot of space on the hard drive? I don't want to clog it up with too much stuff.

Why isn't the iMessage working on my phone? Up until 1:45pm today it was fine, but now it isn't working.

Why isn't the iMessage on my iPhone 4s working? Up until about 1:45PM today it was working just fine but now it sends it as a text message. I have tried everything in the setting but it still is not working. Any tips would be great! Thanks!

It should be back up now, they had a system outage. Reset your iPhone.

Why doesn't Garage Band Make any sound anymore?

I recently installed Pro Tools to my Mac Mini and it works great but now when I try to run Garage band this what it says:
"GarageBand has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers.
(Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.)"
I don't know what that means. All I know is that my Axiom 49 keyboard worked with Garage Band the day before yesterday and now it doesn't. How can I fix this without having to uninstall pro tools
Please help.

Look into your midi driver folder (HD/Library/Audio/Midi Drivers) and see what's in there. Try to at least temporarily move the files somewhere else and see if GB starts up without making a fuss!

Why is my Garage Band not upgrading to the latest version yet?

I watched the new update keynote today and I cannot wait to play on the new Garage Band... However, my garage band app is not updated yet. What is the problem? iMovie and iPhoto have updated, why not Garage Band?

I'm in Garageband Groundhog Day download loop.
First it didn't update like other iLife Apps.
Then I found it in App Store Featured section, with Update tag attached. I did.
Then after download, I found I had two versions. Opened newest and a further download was needed. (see screen grab)
This further download takes ages and stops (without fail) around the 1 minute mark for no known reason (just disappears from screen).
So then you open Garageband App again and it starts the second download again.
Repeat loop... until Bill Murray helps you to become a better person?
I've deleted both old and new and re-downloaded Garageband from App store.
Nothing seems to help. The download from within Garageband keeps mucking up along the way, and I get kicked back out of it.
Any thoughts?
