Garageband 10.1.6 won't open on Big Sur

Garage band keeps crashing and making me reinstall essential sounds, after installing garageband will open for 2-3 secs and then crash again and it's a constant cycle of that. What can I do to fix it??

GarageBand not responding in Big Sur I updated my MacBook to Big Sur, and for some reason GarageBand keeps not responding every time I try to open it. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I tried deleting the GarageBand Sound Library and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I even updated to the most recent version of GarageBand, but the program still wouldn't respond. All I can do is Force Quit the application and that's it. Is there any way to fix this or am I just doomed? Because this issue didn't happen when I updated my MacBook to Catalina.

Garageband 10.4.5 Stuck on Loading Screen Garageband keeps getting stuck on the loading screen and says "updating Audio Unit plug-in's". I've tried everything from deleting all my plug-in's to reinstalling the app and clearing the AudioUnitCache. Any other ideas?

Garageband 6.0.5 suddenly won't open. It opened just fine yesterday but now it says it 'cannot be opened because of a problem'. I have High Sierra version 10.13.6 and have been using Garageband 6.0.5 with no trouble - until suddenly today it won't open. Does anyone out there know why this might be and how to correct it? Many thanks in advance.......
