Garageband shows "audio file not found" for pasted clips after re-opening saved file

When I move a clip to a Garageband file, then edit and save - it's all fine. But when re-opening that file, either immediately or a little later, one or more of the pasted audio files give 'file missing' error. Even if the file has opened successfully several times since they were pasted in. This is a new problem since the OS Venture Upgrade (It seems) but perhaps there was a Garageband update too that instigated it.


This obviously sucks because all of a sudden key files are gone and project needs to be recreated.


Any Ideas?

Hi Craig Danuloff,


For help with GarageBand you can manually check for updates with the steps below, found in the article here: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support


"How to manually update apps on your Mac

  1. Open the App Store.
  2. In the sidebar, click Updates.
  3. Click Update next to an app to update only that app, or click Update All.
  4. Mac showing the Updates page in the App Store."



If fully updated, test searching for the file name using spotlight search. Search with Spotlight on Mac

If you're able to view the file as expected when searched test restoring for a local snapshot. About Time Machine local snapshots
