I was not able to open garageband. I deleted the app and tried re-downloading it from the app store. I got a message saying that garageband could not be installed on my computer. I'm running Monterey 12.6 and have over 50 GB of free storage. How can I get garageband?

Thanks! Actually I was able to solve the problem when I found and old, stray garage band folder in my applications folder. The folder had a grayed-out garage band logo but nothing else. I deleted it and was then able to install garageband.
You're welcome kathleenfromashland. We're glad you figured it out! Feel free to reach back out if you have any further questions or issues with an Apple device or service.
Have an excellent day!
