GarageBand will not open after Ventura installation

You can't use Time Machine either. 8^)

This was from a similar thread:

"hey its mads,

I fixed the problem on a call with apple support.

the guy made me restart my Mac and then instead of going to updates in the App Store, he told me to look up garage band in App Store, and there was an update there that didn't show up in the updates section, I updated it then he told me to restart my computer again. when I turned it back on it was working.

try this and see if it helps."

SOLVED!

i figured out my issue and and i hope this helps everyone else.

when loading the application it would freeze on the "Updating Audio Unit Plug-Ins..." prompt

it finally told me why it was taking forever, and it was a plug-in that i haven't used (thought was deleted)

so i took the liberty and searched in Finder the plug-in and BOOOM!! there it was alongside other ones i "thought" i deleted

after trashing them bad boys GarageBand band opened finally.

hope this helps thanks guys.

No. Do you have a clone?

What OS were you coming from? i.e., what version of Garageband do you have?

If GarageBand isn't working on your Mac - Apple Support

it worked on OSMonterey but since the OSVentura update GarageBand has not responded

it is possible that GarageBand isn't compatible with OSVentura yet so i guess we need to wait for an update, but i am a musician and i need to work so we need to figure out a solution.

GarageBand 10.4.6 is running on my Macs with Ventura.

Have you tried to to switch to a different project? The project you are trying to open might contain incompatible audio files.

in have uninstalled and reinstalled garageband and still wont open

Hard to say. 10.4.6 opens just fine for me.
