Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
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?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.2
Hello roelie03,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having trouble opening GarageBand on your Mac. We’re happy to help.
It sounds like you’ve tried some great troubleshooting so far. Next, we suggest seeing if the issue persists in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Additionally, we can try to isolate further by seeing if the behavior continues in a different user account: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
Let us know the results.
Take care.

It seems to work when I log on in safe mode and when I log in on a guest user, and I tried turning AU Plug-ins off while in safe mode but it seems to do the same thing when I try on my normal user
Nevermind! I tried opening it on a guest user and this time it asked me to download some type of license? After downloading it opened as normal. Then when I logged in on my normal user it worked!
