Oh and macs don't have a registry.

I said I had given up in another thread, but..... If you use the "Register GarageBand" in the GB menu, and let it go to the sight, then close Safari, it works, but you have to do it everytime. GB will open 'underneath' Safari. I'm going to try that with another unrelated programand see if that will open GB also.

In :

~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

Delete all audio components that are not Apple signed (installed by some other apps) and Garageband won't send any message...

Registry problem isn't about Garageband app but its audio components...

My garageband worked fine till I tried to install some Jam Packs because the info side panel/master track/browse/jam pack were all empty (?) ...

I tried re-installing but the installers always crashed during the installation, I force quit the installer the last time and tried to restart. I couldnt restart, I had to pull the plug.

When I restarted, I launched Garageband and it came up with 3 annoying 'registry' errors and tried to endlessly initialise. Then I just clicked on the application icon and it went straight to garageband. App seemed to work fine.

I just hate annoying error messages, so I looked into fixing the problem. I discovered (from previous posts here) removing the AmpliTube 3 plug ins inside the Library/audio/plug-ins/components and VST did the job nicley.

Back to my original problem ... do I have all jam packs?

I just got mainstage for $30 and the additional content are the Jampacks ... problem solved ... I hope!

Thanks for the advise, same problem here. I had a bunch of .component files related to the T-Racks CS VST....I deleted all of them and then put them back a few at a time, it turns out theres 29 of them which cause the error with GB. Of course the VST has now lost a lot of its components but it was a free bundle with Fishman Tripleplay which I've never used so no loss.

Glad its sorted!
