Export .band file from Windows PC to an iOS device?

I want to send a .band file from My PC to an iPad with Garageband.
iTunes wont let me drag and drop the file into my iPad.
.band files aren't recognized by my PC.
I can't find this question/solution anywhere on the interwebs.
Background:
My friend, living 100s of miles away, has a Mac with Garageband. He is sending me a project and I want to recut the song, and I thought I could do that on my iPad. I just bought Garageband a few days ago for iOS (so I'm alittle new to GB). I don't have a mac; just an old PC.
Would these work:
1.Can I import each of the seperate tracks from iTunes into 1 project on the iPad? I don't know how.
2.Should my friend email it,uncompressed, to me and open it from my iPad? Would that work, regardless of how big the file is? (it wont work with dropbox)
3. Could I do this on a Mac that doesn't have Garageband? Will I need iTunes on that computer?
4. Could I download something on my PC to make it possible to drag the file into iTunes?

GarageBand on a Mac and GarageBand on an iPad are very different applications. You can share GarageBand projects created on an iPad to your Mac by syncing with iTunes or sharing it to iCloud, but GarageBand projects created on a Mac are not necessarily compatible with GarageBand on iPad. There is no official way to upload these projects to an iPad. If you create a project on your iPad, your friend could finish it on his mac, if you use the same iCloud account, but the other way around is not supported. See this discussion on GarageBand and PC:
Re: Can I drag a .band file created on my iPad BACK into GarageBand to edit again?

  • Trouble sharing from windows desktop iTunes to IOS devices

    When sharing from windows 7 desktop iTunes to IOS device using the music app, some songs will not play. They just scroll through the titles until it finds one that will play.  Seems that m4p will not play but others will.  What's the fix?

    Okay, I figured it out!  Automatically shows up when you create!

  • How can i look at my files from icloud backup if my iOS device is no longer available (was stolen)?

    Is it possible to view and download photos that were in each iOS device's last backup? I do not have the iOS devices anymore as they were stolen while traveling.
    Unfortunately, I significantly misunderstood how photo stream was working and due to memory limitations on my iPad (very little available memory with loaded movies and other big memory uses), I had to find ways to keep memory from being totally full and was deleting photos in Photo Stream on that iOS device thinking it would only delete it on that device and not ALL iOS devices. It seems that is a missing feature selection (should be a default too IMO) on Photo Stream!!
    thx in advance..

    If you want to view and download your photos from your backup files,  I think you need the help of third party iOS data recovery like ifonebox, dr.phone. Such kinds of software can help you view and retrieve your photos. Hope this is helpful to you.

  • Export DPX files from FCP with Timecode

    Hi,
    Have anyone found a way to export DPX files from FCP, and also get the timecode in the DPX header...
    Thanks for answers!!
    //P

    Your workflow is not correct.
    In FCP I bring the clip to the timeline, trim, color correct it then File> Export> Using Compressor. Compressor opens up and places the clip into the Batch Window. This works fine, but when I go back to FCP, delete the clip from the timeline and place an other clip there and when I Export>Using Compressor, Compressor places the clip in a new Window title "Untitle 1" and so it goes on. As far as I understood, whenever you add a clip from the FCP it places it below the first clip so when I want to add my settings, I can add all 3 settings to all the clips. Did I missunderstand something?
    You're misunderstanding a couple of different things. When you send a clip or sequence from FCP to Compressor, you cannot then apply the settings you want in Compressor then go back to FCP and delete that clip from your sequence ... Compressor is trying to reference that sequence. If you keep removing clips, then Compressor won't follow those clips ... you're essentially breaking the link between Compressor and FCP by doing this.
    Try this:
    1. Load Clip A into the Viewer, Set your In & Out points and add your Color Correction.
    2. Press Command U to Make a Subclip. This will create a separate "clip" in your bin. Rename as necessary.
    3. Repeat this process for your other 19 clips.
    4. Then Select all of your new subclips in your Browser, then File > Export > Using Compressor. This will open Compressor and add all of those subclips into the Job window.
    5. Add your appropriate Target settings and set your Destinations and revise any filenames if necessary.
    6. Click Submit.

  • Major problem: I can not export NEF files from Lightroom

    This is just plain weird: I can't export NEF files from Lightroom 2. I can export any other file format, but not NEF. With Lightroom 1 this was no problem.
    It makes no difference whether I choose the export command with my mouse, via the menu or with a key stroke - nothing happens.
    Lightroom version 2.0
    Camera Raw version 4.5.0.175
    Camera Nikon D3
    Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1
    MacOsX version 10.5.4
    I've called Adobe, and they simply don't know. I have reinstalled Lightroom 2 with no succes. Restarting, repairing permissions, nothing helps.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Marsel

    Marsel, your language is confusing, First, you cannot 'export' NEFs to PS. You can send a copy there from within LR as a tif or psd.
    Exporting per se takes place through the Library module under the Export function. When Nef's are exported by choosing 'original' in the export dialogue, the file is the 'original' NEF accompanied by an XMP. That Nef, if opened directly in PS from your file system should appear in the Camera Raw window, where you can make whatever new edits on it you want or change the original adjustments you made in LR. Then, once you open that file in PS from the Camera Raw window, any further work you do will be pixel editing. That work can then be saved in a number of formats, but not as a NEF.
    Transferring files to PS from LR for editing is another matter. That sends a copy of the original NEF, including LR adjustments to PS as either a Tiff or a PSD (your choice via the dropdown). After you have edited that Tiff or PSD in PS and hit save, it will send a copy back to LR as a Tiff or PSD, which will appear next to the original nef.
    These procedures work perfectly on both my windows 32 and 64 bit machines with LR2 and 2.1. with all my NEFs from several camera models.
    When you say 'export' do you really mean sending a copy to PS or do you mean 'Export' as LR defines that term?

  • Can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    I can't answer for Internet Explorer but you should be able to export Bookmarks from FireFox. If you can't export from IE you may be able to import from EI to FireFox first.
    In FireFox, menu BookMarks>Organize Bookmarks, then in the pane which opens, menu File>Export (that's how it works on Linux so Windows should be broadly similar). The result should be an html file.
    You may be able to import this into Safari on your Mac; certainly you should be able to import it into FireFox and perhaps from there to Safari if necessary.

  • Need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files from Windows XP to PDF for Windows 7.

    I need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files into PDF from a Windows XP operating system to a Windows 7 operating system. It tells me I need a postscript printer. I don't have a postscript printer and really don't want to print them. I just want to transfer the files from Windows XP to Windows 7. Help!!

    No, it isn't telling you that you need a PostScript printer. It's telling you that you need a PostScript printer DRIVER, which is software, not a printer.
    Use the Add Printer function to add an Apple LaserWriter IINTX. That's a PostScript printer. Then try again.
    I don't quite understand the Windows 7 connection, though. What are you hoping to achieve by making a PDF. You WON'T be able to edit them, if that's the idea.

  • Cannot delete .band files from desktop

    I was working on a file in GarageBand, I saved the .band file on my desktop, but after I quit GarageBand without saving the work, the .band file went a little weird. I tried dragging it to the trash and cmd-delete it but the message came up saying "The item “Recording Final.band” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted." Later I launched GarageBand again, and when I tried to drag the weird .band file from desktop to the GarageBand icon on my dock, the dock appears to crash, my wallpaper went gray for a second and then the dock came back up. Also when I select the file and hit space bar to do a quick look it shows up saying No Items Selected. I like to keep my desktop tidy don't want these files here blocking the way. Anyone knows the solution to the problem?

    The first thing I'd do is just restart your system. You might find the file has disappeared. If not, try deleting it again. If you get the same error msg, do as follows.
    Enable 'show path bar' in Finder > View. Highlight the problem file and make a note of the path.
    Open Terminal and use the
    rm <path to file>
    command to remove it (remove the angled brackets). If you want to be on the safe side, use the command
    cd <parent directory of file>
    to move into the correct folder first.
    Example
    Suppose the path is:
    Lion > Music > Garageband > problemfile.band
    In Terminal, you'd type
    cd ~/Music/Garageband
    Then type
    ls -l
    Assuming you see 'problemfile.band' in the list, type
    rm problemfile.band
    If you get an error, try
    sudo rm problemfile.band
    and enter your admin password (which will be invisible when you type it).
    If you still get an error msg, post back here, stating the error msg.

  • How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

    How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?  I'm having SO much trouble with this!  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
    Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

  • Can't copy some files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX over network

    Hi,
    I'm running the latest version of Max OSX v10.8.4 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
    I have followed the setup instructions at http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-mac-os-x-easy-networking to access my Macbook from Windows, and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24950/how-to-share-a-folder-in-os-x-with-windows/ to share some folders from my Macbook to Windows.
    I am now trying to copy some files from my Windows 7 Pro (SP1) computer to my Mac, and have hit the following problems:
    I can view my Macbook in my list of local networked computers on WIndows, but I cannot access it. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found. However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. I can never access the Macbook via it's computer name (\\MACBOOK-ROB).
    I cannot copy some files from Windows to my Macbook shared folders via Windows. There is nothing to distinguish these files from the hundereds of other files that I have successfully copied to my Macbook. They are pictures and music with no special characters in the filenames, not overly long filenames or folder paths, no access restrictions, or any other security restriction that I can see. However, every single attempt to copy these files to my Macbook results in WIndows reporting that access to the destination was denied.
    I have tried both these above scenarios on WiFi and Ethernet, and the results are the same.
    So:
    Why am I unable to access my Macbook by it's computer name on the network? How can Windows see it, but not access it?
    What are the limitations on transferring files over SMB that is (presumably) causing these specific files to fail?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I have a fix for inability to copy files. I had the same problem moving a lot of old files across my LAN from a Windows XP machine to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.
    I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by running
         attrib -s -h -r /s /d [drive or folder]\*.*
    in a command window. Running attrib /?  tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.
    After I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation.
    I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. I'm looking into the possibility of activating bind on the Mac but I haven't done anything yet.

  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

    I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
    ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
    files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
    The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
    Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
    there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
    Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
    DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

    I somewhat agree with you.
    Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
    "7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
    Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines.  Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
    Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
    So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!
