Fix a localized media crashing bug in GarageBand 3 Apps
In GarageBand 3, when creating a podcast, if I dragged a picture in from the media inpector, GB3 would freeze. I couldn't do anything and would have to quit. Since I use GB3 in the French language, and I hadn't heard about any issues with the English version, I launched it in an American session. Indeed, when running in the American mode, it worked fine.

So I went trough the program's folders to try find to find the source of the problem. After a lot of looking, I found the solution. Control-click on GarageBand and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, and then navigate into Resources -> French.lproj. Open the file named Localizable.strings in your favorite text editor. Find these lines:
/* media editor table: headerstring for podcast URL column */
"URL" = "Adresse URL";
Change the second line to read:
"URL"="URL"
Save the file and quit the editor. As Steve Jobs used to say, "BOOOMMMM!," it now works great! I hope this will help other non-English users of GB3.

Hmm... that's odd. I'm also using GB3 in French and just tried it and don't encounter the same problem. Perhaps it's a combination of things ...

I have a similar problem. I am running english version of GarageBand 3.0.4. I'm on a powerbook. When I open a new song project, everything works fine.

When I open a new podcast episode project, the program freezes as soon as its open. It also locks all applications, cannot force quit, cannot do anything except hold power key to reboot.

I checked the .lprof file for english and it was already updated the way you recommended. So I don't have a solution yet.

I also have this exact same problem and this is recurring. Last time I had to do a clean re-install to fix it. Now it's back and I'm not wanting to do this again.
