Question

Upgraded from High Sierra to Monterrey- everything functions well except cannot open Garageband

Upgraded from High Sierra to Monterrey- everything functions well except cannot open Garageband- a GB page opens stating "GARAGEBAND UPDATING INFORMATION ABOUT AUDIO PLUGINS"-For a while it asked about a few plugins, but before the update of plugins is completed. GB quits- I tried deleting quite a fes plugins thinks that perhaps the problem is I have too many- that does not work.

Please help ( iMac-2017)

Thanks

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.1

Have you installed the latest GarageBand?

What I finally had to do was delete everyone one of over 300 plugins- that did it, but what a pain it was re-installing some of them and even so, GB is slow and not very resposnsive- What I will eventually do is revert back to High Sierra

Yeesh. Ok thanks. Some older posts online suggest similar issues with other OS upgrades as well…also my daughter’s appears to work fine but I don’t think she has the plug-ins I do.

I’ll give that a try. Thanks!
