Step 2. Create association of Apple GarageBand with GBPROJ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GBPROJ file still does not use the Apple GarageBand program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GBPROJ file with the Apple GarageBand program.

The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GBPROJ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GBPROJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GBPROJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.

The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GBPROJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GBPROJ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GBPROJ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GBPROJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
