Question

deleting garageband lessons?????????????

Hi,

Can someone please tell me, how I can delete a few garageband lessons from my hardrive? I looked around the net and people were saying the lessons are stored in Library/Application Support/Garageband/Learn to Play. I do not have the "learn to play folder" All I have are Cookies, instrument library and working Copies. Working copies seems to have some kind of template files, which are only a few mb. The acutal lessons are way bigger, so I need to delete a few to make more space on my hard drive. Can someone tell me if its possible to delete those lessons..And can it be done through the software itself?

I have Mac oS 10.6.4 and Garageband 09, Ver 5.1 (398).

Thank You

Macbook Pro '10, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

You went to the Library file path that is in your user folder. You must go to Macintosh HD and go to the main Library folder and follow the path Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Garageband/Learn to Play. Then you can delete the lessons you don't want.

Nope. These suggestions did not work. I have not yet found a solution. I am running iLife '11 (The new version)...The lessons are quite large and I think quite cool...but I'd like the ability to throw them away, install, uninstall and/or even put to an external drive... Need help! Suggestions?

Really? The suggestion of

main-hard-drive/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Learn to Play/

is accurate. Please see the screen shot above to verify you're looking in the right place (Computer Library vs. User/Home Library)

Anotehr Question question would be... are you sure you actually have some Lessons that are actually downloaded to delete?

Finally, try opening a new Finder Window and hitting Command-F and search on the "filename" of "Basic Lessons", "Artist Lessons", or even the file extension ".mwand" (no quotes) and see if you are led to anything that may be in a strange location, like an external drive, etc.
