Every time I open a project, old or new, It crashes.

As of today, every time I have tried to open a new or old project, GarageBand Crashes. I removed all of my plug-ins and VST's, and I still crash every time I try to open a project. I have updated my OS, GarageBand, and reset my computer, and still nothing has changed. I genuinely am stumped

FCPX CRASHES WHEN OPENING PROJECT Hi everyone, I've been having this problem for years continuously, FCPX crashes when I open a library with just one project in it, it seems to get corrupted and also corrupts all the event backups, any one I open closes instantly, I'm fed up, it always makes me start my projects from 0, any idea how to fix it? I've tried the basics of deleting preferences blah blah blah, even deleting the CurrentVersion.flexolibrary file and nothing seems to work, Apple please take this issue seriously as I'm not the only one who has been experiencing this for many years now

GarageBand not running on Studio Mac Two months ago, I migrated from a 2015 iMac to a Studio Mac M1. I used the clean install method. I copied my GarageBand project files from the old drive to the new one and put them in the same place on the Studio Mac. When I tried for the first time on my new computer to run GarageBand, project files opened and started to play, and then after a few seconds, the application froze with the message: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI. Sample Rate 48,000 recognized. Check conflict between GarageBand and external device.” The file continues to play, but all controls are frozen, including, “quit GarageBand. I got the same result with three different project files. None of these projects were made with midi devices. They all consist of multiple MP3 music tracks grouped for rehearsing. I have an M1 MacBook Air model A2337. It’s running Ventura 13.5 and the same version of GarageBand(V 10.4.8) as the Studio Mac. When I transfer the GarageBand project with a thumb drive (the exact same project that freezes on the Studio Mac) to the MacBook Air it plays fine. I uninstalled the GarageBand app from my Studio Mac using CleanmyMac to purge accessory files. I then reinstalled GarageBand, but I’m getting the same error message and the same freeze as I did before. Should I conclude that there's something wrong with the Studio Mac?

Hi ToleyShreds,

If you have not already, we'd advise uninstalling GarageBand, then redownload it from the App Store.

If the issue persists, and this on a Mac and not an iOS device, create a new administrator user account, and copy one of your projects over to try to open it.

Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support

Let us know the results from there.

Cheers!
