Change the location of the GarageBand libraries
Okay, I found what was wrong: file permissions.
I had the opportunity to check them in a "normal" and functional GarageBand installation .....and found out for example that all the 1106 files inside the "Apple Loops for GarageBand" folder, should be set as "root:admin rw-rw-rw-" (the chmod "octal" equivalent is 666). Extracting that folder with Pacifist caused those files to be set as "rw-r--r--" (644). So, I used my application ;-) "Chop" (www.zenonez.com/chop) to change that with a simple drag&drop operation...and now everything works perfectly. Okay, now, I'm not 100% sure that was the only difference (in file permissions) that cause the problem; so basically, you should be sure to exactly "imitate" all the (sub)files and (sub)folders permissions of the original GarageBand folder inside /Library/Application Support. So, if you already know you'll move those big folders to another drive or partition after the GarageBand installation, you can extract them using Pacifist (and the above hint) instead of installing everything and then delete the thousand files (over 1.8GB) from your original partition (probably causing some disk fragmentation). |
