Cannot get back to Touch Instruments

Hi - I'm new to iPad and GarageBand. Was toying around with it last night and after trying out the touch instrument browser I went into "My Songs" and checked out the demo song, but now I cannot get back to the instrument browser. I cannot find a back button, I can't find a close button to close the song, and I do not find any menu option that returns me to the Touch Instrument browser. I see plenty of options for touch instruments as they relate to the currently loaded song, but no way to get out of the currently loaded song and back to the instrument browser. Thanks for any help.

Hi chabuhi - you can press "my songs" again, and GB will always save your current open song in its most recent state, and take you back to your project list. Then, press the + icon to either create a new song or duplicate a song (or alternatively, swipe side to side to get back to the song you were fooling around with before you explored the demo), tap to open the song, and then you'll see "Instruments" button at the top left, which will take you to the instrument browser.
Once you have used all 8 tracks on a song (like the demo song has) you can't go straight back to the instrument browser either in case that's the issue you're having... you'll have to delete one of the tracks in that song before you can go back to the instrument browser, since what the instrument browser is really doing is "assigning a new instrument to an available track."
Hope this helps!

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

    After you dry the iPod:

    Connect the iPod to a charging source overnight and then try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I cannot get back into my eprint account.

    I cannot get back into my eprint account. It will not recognize my password and when I click on "Can't Remember Password" and go to the page where I need to enter my account email address it will not recognize it. It's the same email address that appears in the window of my new 8600. I run Windows XP. Any idea of how I can get back into my account?

    Mirroring is only available on iPhone 4S and iPad (Gen 2 and 3). In regards to airplay (which is a separate feature to mirroring), not all apps are enabled and this is up to the developer.

  • Apple tv was working fine until power outage.  Now stuck on Computers and Settings Icons.  Cannot get back to normal function.

    Apple TV was installed and functional until power outage.  Now I am stuck on Computers and Settings Icons and cannot get back to normal operation.  Can get to settings which  I have tried many times.  Any thoughts?

    Happened once to me also following a nasty storm
    One of the 2 things worked for me (can't recall which):
    1. Power down everything. UNPLUG  your apple TV and whatever it's connected to, including the power cord and the HDMI cable (disconnect at both ends) Wait a minute or two.
    Reconnect everything: Restart.
    2. Totally Reset the Apple TV (this is more work since you'll need to add all your settings)
    Whatever worked: My Apple TV resurrected itself (unfortunately can't say the same for my DVD player).
    3. Lastly, the timing of the storm could be a cooincidence - this happened to someone else here (no storm invoived) and it turned out to be a temporary outage at Apple. see this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18027331#18027331
    For the future, if you've grown paranoid...
    I always unplug my computer for heavy storms (on the advice of a techie at power protection company), But  These days, if a storm is really severe (or very extended) I also unplug my AV equipment. the The ATV is chump change compared to the cost of my other components - but I've grown really dependant on it.
    Remember: Surge suppressors will take the first hit, but often that's it, their circuitry can then get blown. Also if you do unplug power,  Unplug power for everything (very easy by connecting everything to a Surge suppressor) just don't forget RF Cables or ethernet cables (If you leave your router connected).
    Personally, I leave my router on, and am willing to rebuy if neccessary, in order to at least access my laptops, and iPad. BUT this means I have to unplug the ethernet cables.
    Good luck, doubt your ATV is toasted if anything comes up.

    Try holding the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down for AT LEAST 15 seconds. If that does not work, get it serviced. Sounds like a hardware issue--like battery, Sleep/Wake switch or logic board.

    Hi RWD2,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below. 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:

  • After selecting "Tones" within iTunes on iPad, I cannot get back to the regular music section. I am eternally stuck inside Tones. Help !!

    After selecting "Tones" within iTunes on iPad, I cannot get back to the regular music section. I am eternally stuck inside Tones. Help !! It's driving me nuts.

    I copied this from an extremely knowledgable iTunes for Windows user in another discussion. Maybe this will help.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit (iTunes) > Preferences > Store anduntick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit(iTunes) > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs and playlist views from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
    If you are a Mac user, all you have to do is start navigating through the menu items at the top of the screen to find just about everything that is mentioned here.

  • Telstra "Get Back In Touch" - can be so confusing sometimes

    "Get Back In Touch" email is a great idea of re-contacting the Telstra consultant after an issue etc has been addressed (it saves a lot of time repeating oneself all over again!!). However, can be more than confusing if customers phone Telstra to  (a) Discuss more than one issue requiring different departments and/or (b) are referred to another technician re. the same issue.  In both these instances, the customer receives more than one "Get Back in Touch" email - too confusing! I don't know about anyone else?? but I can never work out what email refers to what conversation I had or with who, and end up deleting them all. My suggestion is - Can't there be a simple word reference stating what the call was about on these emails to make the above much easier??? e.g. "Thanks for your time today. I hope I’ve addressed everything regarding your TboxShould you need to follow up, your reference number isINT x-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" OR "Thanks for your time today. I hope I’ve addressed everything regarding connection problems with your internetShould you need to follow up, your reference number isINT x-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" Any other thoughts, anyone?? 

    Hi Dr. Qwerty,  I think your suggestion plus my suggestion added to these emails would be a grand idea!!  At the moment, I have 4 "get back in touch" emails sitting in my inbox as I contacted Telstra recently regarding my Tbox and my Bundled Plan.  The Tbox issue was referred to another consultant.   Unfortunately, I  haven't got the remotest idea which email is in reference to what topic , so will be deleting all of them. There has to be more customers out there who have experienced this, surely?? Thanks Qwerty
