[X Newbies] Garage Band

[J]

Paul, I tried this and it did not work. It seems to be looking for the 
app not a saved thing. I tried saving a project before.
Also, those files for the loops are in the general HD Library not users.

The exact message I get is: 'Cannot find 
Users/username/Music/GarageBand"
Please make sure directory exists. (IT DOES!)

So now what???
I also noticed another strange thing...the name of the user is in there 
on a folder, but then the short name has the 'house ' icon...mine in 
new Panther is NOT like that....for one user.....what the H*** did he 
do and how to fix this? Making me nuts
