GarageBand can’t open song Just yesterday I came up with this error on GarageBand. After it said that a couple of files were not found, it then said that the song could not be opened and I needed to update to the latest version of GarageBand before I could open the song again. But I’m already running the latest version. How do I fix this? The song was about to be very very good. P.S. This is for GarageBand on iPhone/iPad.

itunes always ask me to locate the song which is already in the library The prompt of "The song “xxxx” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" sometimes appear when I play a song. I have to locate it again even the file is already in the itunes library. Sometimes this happens even I just finished playing the same song, it will ask me to locate it. The song files are stored inside the itunes library folder, which is located on my computer locally. Would you guys please help me? Thanks!

Click locate song. Music needs to be in your itunes library.
