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."

I have GB 10.4.6, which is a 7 month old update, so there is no new update that will let me open GarageBand in Ventura. I have clicked on different existing projects to try to open it that way but no luck. My guess is that we will all have to wait for an Apple update.

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.
