Garageband '08

New user to Mac and Garageband. I am using it for the first time to lay down music tracks for a video that I put together. I have purchased some new songs in iTunes to use but the Media Browser doesn't show them. I have saved and closed, restarted application etc. No luck. Any suggestions?

How do I use Garageband for iPad with a real amp?

I play with a guy down the street who has a couple of amps set up. The one I use is kind of limited in it's tonal qualities. In my twenties and thirties I would have no problem hauling my own amp down there to get my tones dialed in, but I'm forty freakin' seven and too old for that! When I have tried to plug the iPad into my amp at home, I get terrible feedback. I used to have a Rockman (remember those?) and I could take it with me and plug into any guitar amp set to clean and be good to go, how do I do that with my iPad and Garageband?
I'm using a no name "y" cord with the 1/8" three ringed input into the ipad and a 1/8 stereo and 1/4 inch outputs-all sounds great on headphones, and with computer speakers, but need to plug into a real guitar amp.
I am using a 50 watt Yamaha to test and am having no luck at all. I know it has to do with impedance, but I am not very versed in how to get around it.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, after fiddling around some more, I’m able to get–some-settings to work. 1) set the real amp to clean settings (duh). Keep the volume on the low side (double duh). 2) stick to the smaller amps from the “clean and “processed” groups ofpresets.
The only way (so far) I’ve found to get some crunch is by turning the gain up on the GB amp you’re using,but only to a point, then I got feedback again.
Also, my “y” cord does have a name, it’s a GriffinTechnologies GuitarConnect Cable. I haven’t tried any of the other devices, so I can’t say if the feedbackwould be less irksome on other devices, but I kind of doubt it.

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband?

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband? I can't get it to work after many tries.

I can pair the headphones with the computer but the sound from GB is distorted and muffled. I can barely hear it. The set works with iTunes, but not with GarageBand.

Loops not showing up at all in Garageband.. but are on computer...

Hey,
My loops are not showing up... however I don't have my CDs with me at Uni. However, I disovered by using Spotlight that the loops are actually on the computer in a folder called "Apple Loops for Garageband". They are in my user library and the garage band preferences are set to "share loops with this user only" or whatever the option is called - suggesting that it is correct for this folder to be in the User libray and not the main library.
However I don't even have grayed out samples - they just are not there at all.
I tried dragging one or two from the folder to Garageband manually and they copied over fine and are now in the sample library... however it won't let me copy them over all in one go for some reason...??
I have a lot of samples so don't want to do them one by one... so before I resort to that - any advice...?? Whats going on?
Thanks in advance.

hey, yea i've been having the same problem, just bought this new imac, and none of the audio loops are working (they all show up gray). i actully spent the time, clicking and draging each one individually, but guess what? not all the loops are there!!! i'm sooo cofused, if anyone has figured this out, that would be extremely helpful thanks!!!!

Why does GarageBand audio work for guest user but not my account?

Hello, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3) from late 2011 that I bought brand new in 2012. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and my MacBook has 500 GB of storage.
About a month or two ago I tried to download the new GarageBand (10.0.2) but I had trouble completing the loops download. The download would stop halfway through because of a network error. So last week I decided to try to download it again, and I was able to do so after reading some discussions about the issue. I successfully completed the download in safety mode and then I restarted my MacBook. At this point I was able to open GarageBand 10.0.2 and create a new project. Unfortunately, there was no audio coming through the output and sound bar for the various audio components in GarageBand. I had no audio when previewing the loops or playing it back in an audio track. I didn't really test anything else out because I figured I needed to fix this problem first. I have read many discussion boards about audio problems with GarageBand. I have already made sure everything is set properly in the GarageBand preferences and the audio preferences in system preferences. I've tried restarting GarageBand and restarting the computer.
This evening I found a discussion from the username icewhatice and they seemed to have had my exact problem. I'm not sure that I found the answer on this discussion though. For reference, this is what icewhatice posted: "I have no audio coming from Garageband 10.0.2. Downloaded it on Saturday and have spent the last two days trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm using a macbook pro with an Alesis QX49. GB registers keyboard when I plug it in but no sound whatsoever, not even from the onscreen keyboard. It seems to read the keyboard as if I play a C chord, it appears in the display. I've done all the obvious stuff like check preferences, restart, I've deleted and downloaded new GB several times and always with same result. Actually, it took me about four attempts to download it in the first place as I was getting an internet connection error message right at the end of the download, and I see others have had that problem. Managed to solve that by downloading in safe mode but now the no sound thing is driving me absolutely crazy because I can't play my keyboard!!!!! Also, worth noting that there is no audio level being read anywhere, I believe in the new version this appears in the volume control at the top. I've also looked into it potentially being a problem with my keyboard and it possibly needing an update but can't find any difinitive answer for that anywhere. I've stopped looking into that because the on screen keyboard doesn't even work - if that worked then I would know at least GB works and it's something to do with the keyboard. So, I am at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas about why this is happening or what I could do to solve then I would be very grateful."
After reading this, I realized that I am unable to create new tracks, and I realized that I have the same problems with old projects saved from the last version of GarageBand I had. I have not tried to download GarageBand again since it did not work for icewhatice. léonie ended this post by saying: "Something is certainly wrong - either the current project, some settings in your user account, or the downloaded GarageBand version. Or incompatible software may be interfering. If a new project does not work, try to test by logging into a different user account, for example the "Guest User" account. Create a new project using this account. Does GarageBand work better from this account? Then we will need to troubleshoot your preferences."
I have tried this and started a new GarageBand project in the "Guest User" account. GarageBand was working fine in the "Guest User" account and all of the audio was working properly. Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my preferences?

If an application is working in a different account, but not in your regular account,try t find out, what you configured differently in your own account, for example start-up items or preference panes you are using, applications and other helper tools, that are only installed for your regular account. As a first guess, remove GarageBands preference files from the user library in your Home folder.
But you will have to reset all settings you did in the GarageBand preferences dialog. And GarageBand will not remember the last project. You'll have to find the file manually.
Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
~/Library/Caches/garageband
Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
~/Library/Caches/garageband .

*Logic Pro 9.1.1, Garageband, Waveburner, Abelton suddenly crashed and won't open at all !

I recently was working on a project in Logic Pro 9.1.1, saved the project and put my macbook to sleep. When i return, my mac wont turn on for the first 10-15 minutes sitting on the blank screen with the rotating circle. When it finally loads through and comes on I find that my Logic Pro software along with Waveburner, Garageband, Abelton, basically any DAW that i try to run will not open. The application icon just bounces and then shows the crash report, i also tried simply opening the project file. I have tried re-downloading the Logic Pro software with no luck. I desperately need this software to be working again, i will post the crash report along with this hoping someone could help out.
Thanks, Alex

Alex,
If you have to ask about backups then I would have to assume you have not been making any.. be it Clones of your System Drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! (My personal favorite) that you manually save to an external HD or you haven't setup and been using Time Machine that is built into OS X that automatically backs up everything to an ext HD. I highly recommend you use one of those methods from now on... and in fact i highly recommend you use both methods.. as the Clone method allows you to quickly wipe out everything and reinstall from the clone image to take you back to where you were before any issue arrived. I make one every time before I upgrade anything major.. and I also make one every week...
So, as i said, did you try checking and repairing your System Disk using OS X's Disk Utility? That is the only possible other option you have at this time as you have no backups..
Other than that.. You will probably need to start again from scratch.... formatting the HD.. installing OS X and then your Apps etc...
Make sure you move/copy all personal data files such as Photos, docs, Logic Pro Projects and so on.....to an external HD before you reformat and start again... You can then move those personal data files back manually after you have reinstalled everything...

Why can't I open a GarageBand recording on my iPhone in GarageBand on Mac OSX?

I recorded an acoustic performance of my vocal quart last night on an iPhone running GarageBand 2.0.1 on iOS 7.1.2. But I can't open it in GarageBand 11 (6.0.5) on Mac OSX 10.9.5. What gives?
Not only will it not open (and the software on my Mac platform is way more recent than on my iPhone, so you'd think it would be upward compatible), but when I try to open this iOS-created file on the Mac, it asks me where I want to save it ... it's already saved, I'm just trying to open it.
I've looked at the reviews for the latest GarageBand, which it tells me I need to upgrade to, and they are terrible! Many report that they wish they hadn't upgraded and that they could get back to an older version of GarageBand on their Mac.
Does this mean I'm stuck and the two GarageBand platforms are not compatible and that I won't be able to open this file? ... other thanes an mp3 in iTunes ...
Thanks for any insights you can give me.

it sounds like it's opening fine, but you're just not letting it finish.
it's asking you to save a version of the song for the mac; if it saved over the original file, it could no longer be opened on the iOS device, if you needed to alter something later

How do I install garageband on my new macbook pro without paying for it since it didn't come pre installed?

I bought a new 13" MacBook Pro with retina (mid 2014). It didn't have pages, keynote, numbers and garageband pre installed. I managed to install all except garageband. How can I get that installed without having to pay for it since it was supposed to have come preinstalled?

Error reading/writing file message when opening garageband and/or files

I've been recently getting this message when I open garageband and files
"Error reading/writing file\U201Ccom.apple.garageband.cs\U201D
I've been in and repaired disk permissions and all that it says it is all fine, reinstall garageband and message still comes up, weird.
not only is garageband being a nuisance, Mac OS X 10.6.2 is being a pain when shutting down telling me to restart the computer. This only happened since upgrading to 10.6. No one as yet knows this promble so I'm gonna have to ring apple and see what is going on here.
and also my other problem is that mac doesn't seem as snappy anymore I noticed this before upgrading to 10.6 and made no difference when "cleanly" installing 10.6. I get a colour wheel popping up and i'm having to wait with simple tasks. iMac only 2 years old.

i give up with this discussion forum no no one knows anything

Voice memos to GarageBand

Can voice memos be exported to GarageBand?

In order to use your voice memos in Garageband you must convert them to an MP3 or AAC file in iTunes. Right click on the file you want to use in iTunes and select “convert to AAC” or “convert to MP3”. You will now have two files with the same name, the one which begins playing after the conversion is the file you will want to use. Click and drag that file from iTunes to the desktop. From there you can import it into Garageband just like you would any other file.

How can I use my iRig plugin for guitar/keyboard in garageband 10.0.2??

Hey,
I'm having A LOT of trouble with the newest version of garageband. I recently updated it so I now have version 10.0.2, starting of with a loooot of trouble getting it to finish downloading/installing. I kept saying that it couldn't finish because I had no internet connection, although I did. SO, now it's finally succesfully downloaded but I seem to have trouble getting my iRig connected - I've used it a lot in the old version of garageband, and never had any problems with it here. I have the iRig adapter with a 3,5 mm jack in one end (that goes into my Macbook computer) and in the other end i simply put in the cable and connect it with my guitar/keyboard. It does not seem to work though - does anyone have the same problems or can anyone tell me how to make it work? :-( I've tried to both make a "real sound track" and a "guitar track" but neither works..

Please see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/clientsod_forms10g.html
while you MAY get it to work this is not certified or supported to run 1.1.8 Jinit.

How do I use my controller board with garageband?

I have an Edirol PCR-30 controller board which I use w/ garageband 3.x. So far I've only been using it as a keyboard and not as a tool. What I mean is it has all these knobs and sliders but I have no idea how to get them integrated with GarageBand.
Can anyone explain this process?

How do I create a sound loop with Garageband?

Probably a simple question, but I'm very new to Garageband. I'm trying to make some sound loops to use as looping background music for a Flash website. How do I import an mp3 from my iTunes and the cut it down to a 10 second or so snippet, then have it loop for the background music? I'm guessing I want to export it as an mp3, correct?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi
An Audio region is the name of a rectangle in GB that represents the audio file.
It's like a Bar that contains the data. The data can be audio or MIDI. So, drag the top right means place the mouse cursor over the top right corner of the bar and click-hold and drag... like you would drag a window or a picture to resize it in other applications.
At the end of the Time Ruler is an arrow pointing left you can drag. This sets the end of the project. So drag it to where you want it to end (exactly where the region ends)
or click on the two arrows looping (in a circle) button in he Transport bar at the bottom. This creates a cycle region (yellow bar in the Time Ruler). Drag and resize this to include only what you want:
and choose Share > Export Song to Disk.
There is a good offer on you might be interested to learn more about the basics and some of GB and other applications:
https://www.macprovideo.com/trial/?st=7df&login
This gives you FREE online access for 7 days to all the tutorials at macprovideo. I think you need to register and cancel before the 7 days is up if you don't want to continue the subscription. The tutorials for GB and other programs are very high quality so I didn't take the online sub offer but I buy and download the ones I want.
