Can't attach garageband file

Hi, a bit of a strange question. I don't have garageband, I'm a logic user, but I have a client who wants to send me a garageband file. The file is not an export from garageband, it's not a wave or mp3 or aac, it is a native garageband file. I am hoping I will be able to open it, as I need to edit the midi data and send it back (via midi file, I would think).
Problem is, she says that when she tries to attach the file to an email, the file is greyed out, and she can't select it. Other files are selectable, but not this.
Might anyone have a guess why this is happening, and how I might advise her to get the file to me? She's on a year old MBP with 10.6.
thanks everyone- Darcy

Control-click it in the Finder and choose to compress or archive it. Packages look like files, but they're actually folders and can't be attached directly.
If the file is larger than about 20MB after compression, you may need to use a service such as YouSendIt, Skype, or iChat instead of email to send it.

I can't attach any files in safari browser

I have the last update of safari in macbook pro but I can't attach any files on any website or mils but in another browser like chrome ..ext, I can attach files . so I need help
thanks

Hi...
Since you are using a web based email client it's not Apple's responsibility.
But you can try deleting cookies.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Privacy
Click: Remove All Website Data...
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try attaching a file.

After updating this past time, I can't attach any files to anything.

I can't attach any files to anything on Firefox. This is very inconvenient because I attend college online, and I can't attach any of my assignments like I am supposed to. It is VERY frustrating!

I can't attach a file or photo in hotmail or windows live please help

[http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=1960871&f=38 Useful thread where I got my solution]
The Gingerbreadman on in that link seems he knows his stuff.
I had the same problem and most of Mozilla's answers on here were so useless.
Anyway - I think your problem is likely to be the Add-On 'Silverlight' - disable it and see if you can then select the attachments link.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Can't empty GarageBand files from trash

I am creating GarageBand files; when I move them to trash and then try to empty the trash, I get a message saying I need to make sure they are "unlocked" and permissons are all okay, and then it gives me two options: Stop or Continue, neither of which successfully deletes the file from the trash.
I have gone to the file's "Get Info" and confirmed the the "Locked" box is NOT checked, and that my permissions are "Read and Write" and I've even tried to unlock the little lock at the bottom of the Get Info screen. To no avail, I still cannot empty the file from the trash.
I have checked user communities and tried to hold down the Option Key while I empty the trash. One time out of 4 or 5, this works. I have also tried to hold down the Option AND shift keys at the same time while I empty the trash. No difference.
The only thing that seems to work is one user's suggestion to open the "Terminal" utility and type in some command that supposedly resets permissions and empties the trash and fixes everything. This has worked both times I've done it, but then the next time I put a new file into the trash, it's once again back to being stuck and "locked."
I'm not sure whether to post this in GarageBand community or Lion/general pages, so I may do both...but can anyone help me here?
Thanks.

Now that I posted - More Like This offered the solution - hold Option key while emptying - works on locked files also. Thank You Very Much !!!

Can I open garageband files in logic?

I am going to be upgrading to Logic Express from garageband in a week or so, and I have some more questions:
Okay, my first question is; Can I open garageband 08 files in logic, and if I do will they be mixed the same? And my second one is a bit more complex;
On garageband there is an option to place software drums into little bricks and make them into beats. Can I record real drums and map the individual hits onto a grid with Logic?
Thanks---

Yes, though in a different way than in Garageband.

Can't see Garageband files on iCloud Drive

I've updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2 and the latest version of Garageband (2.0.3) for iOS and am having problems accessing Garageband files I've saved to my newly converted iCloud Drive. Garageband on iOS still sees the files. As does Settings -> General -> Usage -> iCloud Manage Storage. But when I go to iCloud.com to access my iCloud Drive there are no Garageband files/folders to be found. I'm still on OS 10.6.8 so this is the only way I can access my iCloud Drive from my Mac. Perhaps these are stored as invisible files/folders but it would be nice to have access to them as I can with Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and iMovie. Anybody else have this issue or have any ideas of how to correct it? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've the same issues/questions. Sorry for my poor english but I'll try to explain there what's happen on my devides IPHONE 5s/IPAD air on IOS 8.1
I'm dreaming about the possibility to access to "cloud" songs in ICLOUD DRIVE for example when I start to find a melody on my IPHONE, using Garageband to record my voice and after I want to continue at home with my USB Mic on the IPAD and finish the song.
I've 2 issues :
I'm unable to export or upload ".band" on ICLOUD DRIVE or even an exported mp3 from GARAGEBAND interface. I can see options like UPLOAD to ICLOUD or ITUNES or GARAGEBAND
I cannot see how to access on both devices to 2 differents ICLOUD DRIVE because my ID on the IPHONE is not the same as the IPAD for many reasons and it will be very confortable to have this capability in my current settings.
The previous solution was to export to ITUNES and use the AUDIO files or export as .BAND and import on MAC OS etc. But I thought that with the new mention (GARAGEBAND compatible) with ICOUD DRIVE it will become easier to do this kind of actions.
Thanks to Apple care & the community !

Can I attach a file to a form for users to download?

I want to attach a file for recipients to download, not a form for recipients to send me. Is that possible?

Hi;
FormsCentral does not have anything that enables you to attach a file for others to download. You can include a "Link" to a file you have hosted on another site/server in the form using the "Insert Link" button/tool on the toolbar along the top of the design tab:
Thanks,

Can't attach .jpg files to my e-mail messages

I have tried to attach .jpg files to my e-mail messages but nothing happens. I have no trouble attaching .doc files. I have never had this problem before buying this MacBook a few weeks ago, and I can't figure out what to do about it. Does anyone know how to rectify this? Thanks.

I have tried to attach it by clicking on "browse," finding the correct .jpg file and then clicking on "add." The .jpg never is added to the message. I never had trouble with adding .jpgs this way on my old iBook and I don't have trouble adding .jpgs on my G-5 at work. As I said, I can add .doc Word documents on the new MacBook, so I really don't understand what the problem is. The .jpgs files are about 1 MB in size, so it's not like I'm trying to add a gigantic file.
