Thick-headed GB question [Solved & suitably grateful]
So, Garage Band is failing to open. It begins to load the last song and gets stuck (forever). I figger I have no real choice but to delete and reinstall, but I'd like (of course) to retain my data/songs. If I simply delete and then reinstall via itunes will this include data from the last backup or simple reinstall the base program?
I know, should know the answer to this question, but I don't....
Thanks for any elucidation etc.

Isn't it perhaps an AU that is freezing the start up of GB? Perhaps you should delete the offending AU, if it's the case...
Good idea, but it's been a while and I have no idea which it might be.....and I have a lot....
Go into the iOS settings app and locate the GB section. Here you can reset your preferences making it start up without opening your latest (problematic) project.
Try to remember. If you didn't save your projects to iCloud drive or to iTunes, you'll lose everything when deleting GB. Unless Apple changed something that I missed.
Bing bing bing.
A thousand thank-yous effendi. I am in your debt etc.
Thank you also, for the pause you caused me to have before (impatiently) just hitting the delete button
I've gone through this routine hundreds of times while testing crashy AU code
Try to open it and go, say, prepare a cup of coffee or something. If you let it try to open, perhaps it will end up opening. Then, if it happens, you take notice of any AUs that happen to be in the project.
EDIT: only now I refreshed the page and saw Brambos solution! Way to go!
That's a vivid example, by the way, of a reason all hosts (preferably all music apps) should have a project opener page, intead of forcing us to open the last used project by default. It can turn really nasty after reopen a DAW after a crash, specially one like Garageband, who allows zero access to the file system (in Auria, you could at least back up and remove the project to see if it opened without it). Good luck!
Ah, great, problem solved!
Completely agree with this as a 'best practice'.
Who's up for compiling a sticky of Best Practices? This is most helpful.
Probably looking in the wrong spot, but not seeing the option to startup w/o loading latest project?
I went to Settings -> GarageBand ( v.2.2.1 ) on iOS 10.3.1
and only options I see are:
Cellular Data
Knob Gestures
CrossTalk Protection
Automatic Recording Length
Support MPE Controllers
Reset GarageBand
I think it's that last one: "Reset Garageband". It'll reset GB to default settings, but you won't lose anything.
Exactly. Wroked like a charm and then I deleted the offending file (which had an iSem AU instance which I suspect was causing the trouble....). One song lost but small price to pay etc.
OK thanks ... get skittish sometimes when I see a 'reset' option without at least a cursory 'detailed' list of what it actually does in the process ..
Just slid it to active and restarted GB as a test ... good to see I did not lose my important GB projects like Crap000, Crap001 ...
