Garageband II keeps redownloading, but never opens...

I purchased Garageband II, and everytime I download it, it closes and then when I go to reopen it, it just downloads again and I cannot open the actual program. What is wrong?

GarageBand (Mac) '11, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

After GarageBand has completed downloading and installing all of it's extras, remove the GarageBand preferences file and relaunch GarageBand. This took care of it for me.


To do this in the Finder:

  1. Select Go -> Go to Folder...
  2. Type: ~/Library/Preferences
  3. Locate the com.apple.garageband.plist file
  4. Move it to your desktop.
  5. Relaunch GarageBand.


This should take care of this problem.
