I have the same problem - Upgraded GB - would not open any more - told me "check with the developer to make sure GB works with this version of MacOS - so I upgraded my MacOS thinking hmmm upgrade wants the new os - nope - still a problem.

Uninstalled GB, reinstalled GB - still same error. Whaaaaaaaa????

Following the moderators suggestion article -

I checked if I have the latest updates -

It was working 100% happy prior to the GB update to 10.3.5 -

I cannot load it and get it to load without audio - by pressing control - the error pops immediately!

There are no external instruments plugged in - all virtual instruments

Something is different in this version

HELP! Bad Daw, sit.

JA990 - so this is not a great answer - but mine suddenly started working. I say suddenly as I did not apply any other patches or updates and 3 days later I decided to open and try, and it started. Frustrating because I cannot say why. Good luck.

Hi, I have a fix for this issue

Boot your mac from the recovery OS (or a USB stick OS), open terminal and disable the SIP

csrutil disable

then reboot it and open terminal again, type the following commands and code lines in this order, hit enter after each line...

sudo chown -RH user_name:staff /Users/user_name/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10
chmod -R 0700 /Users/user_name/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10
chmod -R -N /Users/user_name/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10

replace user_name with your name that your mac shows in the terminal followed by an $ sign, don't type the $ sign.....

then exit the terminal, reboot from the recovery OS again, enable SIP and reboot again.

csrutil enable

Now you can start Garageband and a dialog pops up where you can download the factory sound library with some additional sounds.....(approx. 1GB download)

cheers
