Oct 09, 2019  Want to send it to your friend for their input? Want to export it to a disk for a physical copy? We’re here to help; here’s how to share a song in GarageBand on both Mac and iOS. Share a song in GarageBand on Mac. You have a few different avenues for sharing your GarageBand song if you use the app on your Mac. So, open GarageBand to your. Aug 02, 2019 On the other hand, if you’re running Mavericks or a more recent version, the App Cleaner app should take care of GarageBand and all associated files and folders. There’s yet another way to remove GarageBand from your Mac and save space – the built-in uninstaller. Here’s how it’s done: Launch Finder.

Jun 17, 2016 You might also choose the AirDrop option to send the song to another Mac on your network to continue working on the project. The Mail sharing option lets you export your song from GarageBand and attach it to an email message. This requires that you use the Mail application in OS X as your email client. I always use 'Save As' for my GB projects. As has been expressed here this is the best way to save a project but if you are moving from a PPC mac to an Intel Mac you will have to do more than that. If you have a project that includes customized instruments in them you will want to Freeze those tracks before you move them to the Intel mac. Sep 25, 2016 But you would almost have to buy a new iPad solely for using GarageBand on for each band member. I would love to know if there is an easier way to send the project file through email or another cloud server, or any other way I haven’t thought of yet.

Hey all,

I'm currently using GB on my iPadPro, and would like to collaborate with another fellow musician. I'm having a hard time being able to send him a GB project. It says online you can share it to iTunes, then share it from there, however I don't have a computer, I have an iPad Pro..
I have tried email, Dropbox, etc, and it wants to mix the project down to an MP4 before sending. Not what I want..
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

    one idea would be to share it to iCloud Drive, when you do this it will offer on option to save the project file there. Then go into the iCloud Drive and share the project there via email.

    If it's especially large, iOS should offer the ability to send it via MailDrop

    Additionally you could share it via 'open in', then choose Google Drive..when you do this It also presents the option to send the project file.

    From GB..Notes,Google Drive, Message, and Messanger..tried google drive, and it just hangs there saying 'uploading'..everything else, it wants to mix down.
    From iCloud no open in options

    Well I just managed it using ifiles2

    But it was a hell of a hassle.

    Unfortunately, your options are pretty limited. Have you tried Apple support? They should be able to help with iCloud/upload issues.

    Otherwise, you're looking at a 3rd party solution like what @BiancaNeve is describing.

    Apple support said to use iTunes..hate to think if you spend $1000 on the iPadPro, I now have to go buy a laptop to transfer files..

    How does ifiles2 work

  • edited September 2016

    Actually forget it. My method worked on iPad Air 2. But the transfer from iCloud on iPad Pro seems to get stuck.

    1st download the app

    iFiles 2 - File Manager, Cloud Storage, PDF Reader by Imagam.com
    https://appsto.re/gb/tBD2bb.i

    Add iCloud Drive as a service

    Open Gagageband App
    Press select
    Select a track
    Press the share button
    Press iCloud Drive
    Select Project

    Select the ifiles folder in iCloud Drive

    Open the ifiles app
    Press the iCloud button. (you should see a folder called whatever you named your song)
    Click on this and press download select local files

    Once the transfer has completed you can zip it and email it or upload to Dropbox one drive etc

  • @BiancaNeve said

    Yes......
    but how to share it then with others?

    By the way: it is also possible to send a zipped .band file to Dropbox via the free iZip app, without using iCloud Drive. I just did it. But I have no good ideas about sharing it with others. As I understand it iCloud Drive is only about sharing with your own devices. I could send the link of the zipped .band Dropbox file to others, but I can't find a way for them to import the zipped .band file into their GB (without the use of a PC).

  • They need to unzip the .band file and save it to their own iCloud Drive. Then in GB they can just press plus then import from iCloud

  • Good info here for escaping the walled garden. Thank you @BiancaNeve and @Marcel

    Thank you guys for the input!!! I'm going to try it with izip cause it seems like the easiest way.. I'll keep you posted if it works..

  • I just tried Izip free on a very simple band file, but it wouldn't zip it because it was too big. But the process of getting it into izip was very simple so I may buy the full version.

    If I remember it correctly: you have to zip the .band map. I first tried to zip all the files within that map, that didn't work, then I tried zipping the map itself, that worked. If it seems you can't select the map then press the file/map above it, then you can select the map.

GarageBand for iOS saves songs within the app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If you delete the GarageBand app, you'll also delete your songs. In case you ever have to delete and reinstall the app, make sure to back up your songs first. You can back up your songs by uploading them to iCloud, exporting them to iCloud Drive, or copying them to another Apple device using AirDrop.

You can also back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. A backup of your iOS device includes the songs saved within the GarageBand app. Make sure to back up your device so you can access your songs in case you lose, replace, or damage it.

Upload songs to iCloud

Export songs to iCloud Drive

Using iCloud Drive, you can access your songs from another iOS device, a Mac, or a PC. You can export one song at a time to iCloud Drive.

Back up songs using AirDrop

    On an iPad, tap My Songs in the Control Bar.

  7. Tap Project. AirDrop copies the song to the following locations:
  • On a Mac, the song is saved to the Downloads folder.
  • On an iOS device, the song opens in GarageBand. If GarageBand isn’t installed on that device, you can choose to get the app or save the song to iCloud Drive.
