When I open GarageBand, it just sits on the start-up, pop-up screen. It stays like that for a few seconds then becomes unresponsive. My mouse does that colourful pinwheel this as well. Can you pleas fix it? I need GB tmr.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4
Hi there JNdA_,
If GarageBand is not opening on your Mac, these steps from If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open can resolve what's happening:
1. Quit and reopen the app
Quit the app, then open it again. If the app won't quit, force the app to quit. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
2. Restart your Mac
Restart your Mac. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, then click Updates. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your Mac. Or if you didn't get the app from the App Store, look for updates to the app on the app developer's website. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
4. Reinstall the app
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. If you didn't get the app from the App Store, redownload the app on the app developer's website. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
If this continues after following those, let us know if other applications are opening as expected or if something similar is occurring. We'll use that information to isolate this further.
Cheers!
