Why Won' T Garageband Open On My Mac

Try again after each step

Oct 13, 2017 If the GarageBand app won't open after updating your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 11, Apple says to turn off iCloud for GarageBand on the device in Settings Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App.

  1. In the App Store, tap Updates. Find GarageBand in the list. If you see Update next to GarageBand, tap Update. If not, skip this step.
  2. If you use Audio Units Extensions or Inter-App Audio apps as instruments or effects with GarageBand, check with the manufacturer for updates.
  3. If you use an external audio interface, disconnect it. If GarageBand works, you might need to update or service your audio interface.
  4. Delete any Audio Units Extensions or Inter-App Audio apps.
  5. Create a new song, then play it. If it works, check your other songs and solo tracks to see which one caused the issue.
  6. Reset GarageBand. Go to Settings > GarageBand, then tap Reset GarageBand. When you reset GarageBand, your song files, presets, or patches aren't affected. Other custom settings, such as the 24-bit audio resolution and Multitrack Recording settings, are reset to factory defaults.
  7. Back up any songs on your device. Then delete GarageBand and redownload it.

Why Won't Garageband Open On My Mac

Many GarageBand users have noticed that after installing iOS 11, they've been unable to launch the app without it crashing immediately. According to a support page on Apple's website, the company is 'aware of the issue and is investigating solutions.' This is just the latest in a line of many bugs Apple has been attempting to contend with following iOS 11's release, including haptic issues with the iPhone 7 and crackling noises coming from the earpieces during calls on iPhone 8.

Like all the other problems users are experiencing post-update, this isn't affecting everyone. However, if you're one of the individuals struggling to open GarageBand on your device Apple suggests turning off iCloud for GarageBand as a temporary solution:

  1. Launch the Settings app for iOS.
  2. Tap your Apple ID banner.
  3. Tap iCloud.
  4. Under Apps Using iCloud, toggle off the on/off switch next to GarageBand.

Unfortunately, this does mean that you won't be able to access any GarageBand songs you've saved to iCloud Drive. They won't be deleted or anything — they'll still be there once you switch iCloud back on — but you won't be able to work on them until the issue is fixed. Any new songs you create will be saved to your device's native memory.

GarageBand is free on the App Store. It comes pre-installed when you purchase an Apple device, but if you've deleted it and want it back, you can get it here:
