Help with binding?

topic posted Tue, April 26, 2005 - 2:12 PM by  riverlife
Hi, could use a li'l help.

I intended to borrow a friend's ableton live for a coupla days to see if I was interested in buying it or not, but at the end of the install process I got an error telling me that the installer could not create some folder because I did not have the proper permissions.

On top of that, now garageband won't load...when I check out the logfile in systemprefs, it says that garageband can't load because it is unbound, and its bindings can't be found, or somesuch.

I've tried reinstalling garageband (it's a silly little program, I know, but if this isn't working, I wonder what else might fail down the road, and I'd rather avoid the lengthy os x reinstall process), but no go. Btw, I'm on os x 10.3.3.

Any ideas what happened/what I can do to remedy the situation?

Thanx in advance,

Pat

    Download cocktail for panther (www.versiontracker.com) and run its prebinding utility

      Thanx for the help...I've tried this repeatedly, but still no dice...my log file, before I finally force quit gband, has this to say:

      Apr 27 15:05:12 localhost /usr/libexec/fix_prebinding: /Applications/iLife 05 GarageBand2.sit Folder/GarageBand.app/Contents/MacOS/GarageBand could not be launched prebound.

      Apr 27 15:08:17 localhost /usr/libexec/fix_prebinding: fix_prebinding quitting for now.


      Any more ideas/trix?

      Thanx again! :)

        Your iLife is not installed properly as it is inside some .sit Folder, which might be confusing things.

        It looks like you uncompressed some stuffit archive vs. installing from the original dvd. Delete that "iLife 05 Garageband.sit Folder" and reinstall from the iDVD DVD installer.
