GarageBand Jam Pack music installation error Hi,. You're using an Apple Mac computer. To try to check the game information if the requirements apply to you mac computer operating. If the project opens and plays back properly, a plug-in you're using in the project might be damaged or incompatible with your version of GarageBand. Check with the manufacturer of the plug-in for support.

You can create a new project and test to check if the issue is with your project or with the GarageBand app. Create another user account on your Mac , then try to recreate the issue in the new user account.

If the issue doesn't occur in the new user account, settings in the original account might be causing the issue. Resetting preferences doesn't affect your project files, presets, or patches. However, you do lose any custom preference settings you might have made. After your Mac restarts, open GarageBand and try to reproduce the issue you were experiencing. If the issue no longer occurs, open GarageBand preferences and reapply your custom settings.

Sent it to trash and downloaded again, but still getting the same message I feel like I'm back with Microsoft Windows problems. Yeah man.. Am having the same problem.. Wondering if I should've just stuck to Windows.. Nov 1, PM in response to lindsaybits In response to lindsaybits.

Same thing happening with my Macbook pro 13" as well. I am not able to use Garage Band from the time i have installed Yosemite. I have re-installed Garage Band at least times by now. Nov 1, PM. Nov 2, AM in response to lindsaybits In response to lindsaybits.

Hey guys Point to note.. Temporarily some other media files also got deleted but after I installed Garageband update, everything was back in order. This guy was an absolute life saver. Have been struggling with this problem the entire week! And not a peep form Apple the whole time. There are many Garageband users who are having this problem and no one form Apple had any advice to give!

I then deleted everything which may or may not be a good thing, I am an idiot, I have no idea if these are extremely important files or not! I tried to empty the trash bin after but many files was locked and Garageband would still not install. I did a restart of the computer, emptied the bin successfully and tried to install Garageband again and it worked fine!

I did the same thing first. Deleted only the two GB files but that didn't work. Though I'm not sure if you should've emptied Trash. I kept all the files there just in case. Still worked for me. Are you having any other problems after deleting those files? So bloody frustrating the whole week was.

Hope it helps other here too. I havent found any problems yet. Before the restart I got some horrible error messages in the Appstore but a restart fixed that. Now I only find one odd message about installing Yosemite it is installed, works great in the appstore but I do so on the other computer as well so I guess it is not relevant.

Everything else looks normal. Oh, forgot to mention. It even updated itself through the appstore but it did not upgrade to the newest version. I then went ahead to try to install the new version on top of this older one but it then made the same failed install separate from the version as if they were two completely different programs.
