Ive owned my Mac G4 MDD (OS X 10.5) since 8 years without problems. Ive made some songs with Garageband, installed the Jam-Pack of Orchestra Instruments, and imported the completed ones into iTunes. I saved the incomplete songs in a desktop folder.
Beause of my job I havent done anything with Garageband for months. I am the only one to use my Mac. Recently, I tried to open Garageband.
To open some songs a pop-up states: error code - 1712.
For others the pop-up states: Sorry, cant load this song because it is created by a newer Defender version. Please update Defender!
A Finder search for Defender yielded no results. What is Defender? Where is it?
(Note: this is not MacDefender)
Another pop-up states the song has no Apple Loops.
I checked in Mac - HD, Library, Audio, Apple Loops. Theres the list (longer than my arm) of the Apple Loops.
However, most songs did open. The incomplete projects seem to have been vandalized, in some instruments are altered or missing, and order of play shifted. I clicked on Software Instruments, the EXS24 is missing.
In other songs all instruments are gone and replaced by an accordion symbol and Audioinst 3. From top to bottom the fields are not in numerical sequence, for example: Audioinst 3, Audioinst 8, Audioinst 2, etc. etc. Some are doubles. Up to 12 fields. I never made songs with more than 6 instruments. If I add a New Track, the instruments field expands with empty gaps between.
The only discs I have are the two Orchestra Jam-Packs.
I wonder if anyone has encountered such a train wreck of problems with Garageband?
Several months ago I installed a new power supply. Everything worked fine with new power supply.
Last month I purchased a new Mac-Mini and plan to use that Garageband.
