How do i get back my garageband songs that are only on icloud?

Yesterday i enabled icloud in garageband and upliaded a couple of songs. It worked as it should until i opened it today and found that a song has a green arrow pointing down in its top right corner. I tapped on it, but after getting a grey overlay nothing happened. I checked and the is on icloud, but icant get it back. I alo dont have just 2g ipod and a windows 7 pc, so o other apple products.
If anyone has the same problem and found a solution i'd appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have the same problem too with two songs which are in the same state. Mine also happened when I was uploading to iCloud and GarageBand crashed during the upload.
It's really annoying as these songs were from live instruments plugged into my iPad and I was using iCloud as a backup but now it's lost the entire song.
I've tried turning off iCloud and getting duplicates of iCloud songs copied to my iPad and then enabling iCloud again and that didn't fix it.
I'm currently downloading the latest patch release of GarageBand to see whether installing that version (which apparently fixes the problem in the first place) will help my songs magically reappear.
Feel I have nothing to lose as I can't get to the songs ........
There's two other threads on this issue as well:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18459394#18459394
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18459395#18459395
So suggest we bring these together in this thread.

  • How do I remove songs that are only in iCloud?

    Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong category.
    I realize there are going to be tons of questions since iOS 7 just came out, but I have a question about iCloud.
    So now that I have the new iOS, the music library on my iPhone displays my iCloud music as well as what I had synched to the phone. However, there are some songs showing up that I deleted from my iTunes library on my computer months ago. They are not on my computer, so I cannot delete them from iCloud as I delete them from my computer. There are a few songs that I will keep on the Cloud, but I don't want them all.
    How would I remove these songs that can only be found in my Cloud? I don't some of them anywhere, at all. I'm not paying for iTunes match.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey, Gail,
    Sync didn't work last night even with the new version of iTunes.  I think I solved it though.
    Went to Settings > General > Usage > Music: Deleted all data that way
    Then turned on the "Show all music" option in the Music settings.  Went to music and downloaded from the iTunes cloud the music I wanted on my phone.  With that done, I shut off the "Show all music" option again.  This left just the songs that I had downloaded.
    I'm sure I could probably accomplish this similarly by dragging and dropping to my phone from iTunes.  I'll have to give this a shot.  Worst case scenario, it doesn't work.  But I've found a way that does.
    So far, those songs I didn't want haven't shown back up.  Whether this is a permanent fix, I haven't had time to see yet.  But it's worked at this juncture.
    Thanks for checking in,
    Ryan

  • How do I get back the old songs that were wiped out on my Ipod, when the new songs were downloaded?

    I recently had to have everything on my harddrive moved to an external harddrive by the Geek Squad. Subsequent to that, I purchased six new songs from Itunes, and downloaded them to my Ipod. When I did that, all 126 of my old songs were wiped out. However, Itunes still shows all of the old, as well as the new songs. How can I access the "older" songs so that I can then add them back to the newer songs?

    Hey LiLi521,
    I found a few articles that can help you out. Depending on what version of iTunes you're using, check out either:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    or for older versions:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
    You can set up your iPod for automatic or manual syncing, and depending on which option you choose the process will be different. Either route you choose, by following those directions you should be able to get both your older songs and the newly purchased ones onto your iPod.
    Hope this helps,
    David

    You did not make a backup of your computer before you erased it?

  • Ipod touch 5 - when in song suffle mode, a random album will suddenly appear on the screen and then it is difficult to get back to the song that is playing

    Just "upgraded" to a new ipod touch 5th generation after previously using various ipod classics.  So I am not familiar with all the ins and outs of the device.  One thing that I have a problem with is the fact that there does not seem to be a simple way, while in shuffle mode to quickly move to the next song or back to the prior song.  But forgetting that for a moment, here is my problem and I am trying to figure out if it is a bug or simply some kind of "feature" of the ipod touch that I don't get.
    I am playing music...in song - shuffle mode.  All of a sudden, instead of the particular song that is playing, a different album shows up on the screen.  Meanwhile, the original song keeps playing.  When this happens, sometimes that album then starts playing and sometimes I am able to move the ipod touch in various directions and I can get back to the song that I was originally playing.  Any idea what is happening here and how to stop it?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

    When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

    I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page  in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
    I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.

  • How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

    How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"

    I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
    It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
    Assuming that you are using
    Premiere Elements 12
    Add Media
    "DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
    Video Importer
    Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
    Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
    The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
    Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    Thank you.
    ATR.

  • How do I get to see the procedures that are running?

    Good afternoon. How do I get to see the procedures that are running?
    Thanks.
    Daniel Sousa

    I agree with Billy: never use undocumented procedures, they can change anytime.
    The link you were referring to is probably this one: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:767025833873 and the post was not from Tom Kyte but from a reviewer.
    The comment from Tom was:
    sorry -- x$ tables are magical and I give no help in that area at all.
    The same user that posted the query added in a following post:
    Tom, I agree 101% - X$ are "magical", they CAN and WILL change anytime, without warning, and worse, NO READ-CONSISTENCY here - so, in a very busy db, chances are of X$ being "late", not refreshed, or alike.

  • Why can't i get all of the songs that are in tunes on my ipod

    What can I do to get all of my songs that are in my tunes library onto my ipod.
    Thank you

    Remove some of the other content you may have, such as pictures or videos.
    Lower the Bit Rate that you use for your songs (but not so low that you don't like the quality of the sound)
    Buy a larger capacity iPod
    Alternatively, I ask you; "why can't you get all your songs on your iPod?"
    What happens when you try
    What else is on your iPod.
    Is there a large amount of "Other" shown in the iPod's content?
    In other words - you tell us why you can't get all your Library on to your iPod and perhaps we can tell you what to do about it.

  • I use iPhone 5s and iPad Air to take photos. They download automatically to my iMac. However, I often get dups, triplicates or more on the iMac. How can I stop this and how can I get rid of the extras that are already there?

  • I've just purchased an album, but only 11 out of the 17 songs downloaded.  How do I get the remaining 6 songs that were included in my purchased on my playlist?

    How do I get my remaining 6 songs downloaded to my library/ipod?

    Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and select that. You may find the track there to be downloaded. If not, delete the entries for the missing tracks from the iTunes library. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • My iCloud has been 'upgrading' for the last 12 hrs. That is, after I had pressed 'install after downloading the latest, improved version without entering my password. How do I get back to the window that will allow me to enter my password?

    My iPad has been 'upgrading' for the last 12hrs.That is, after I had downloaded the new version of iCloud, and pressed 'Install' without entering my password. It is probably searching for it.
