How do i save a previously saved garage band file with an ilife preview to export it to imovie? Using the latest garageband

Help me ASAP plz!!!

Hi, you have to open the song file in GB, and use the menu option “Share/Media Browser”.  GB will bounce the song and create a song preview that will be stored in the song file package.  The song file MUST be stored in the /Music/GarageBand/ folder, to appear in the iMovie “Content Library/GarageBand” screen.

  • Is there a way to revert to a previously saved Garage Band file?

    My daughter was working on Garage Band and couldn't find the tracks she thought she had saved. I know on PCs there is auto save and there's usually a back up file in the temp folder. Is there the same thing for the Mac? Help! Thanks.

    No, backup files are only created for documents, but not for project packages, like GarageBand projects. But GarageBand should prompt you to save the project, when you try to quit and the project has not been saved. Did GarageBand crash, so it could not save the project? In that case, the recorded audio should be still in the project package. Your daughter could try to ctrl-click the project ( the My Song.band) she created and use "Show Package Contents". The "Media" folder should have her recorded adio files.
    And if she is lucky, Time Machine may have save the previous version as hourly backup, if she is using TimeMachine and the backup drive was connected.

  • Need to rescue Garage Band Files with Data Rescue II - what kind of files?

    Hi all -
    After a particularly gruesome computer crash, I am trying to reconstruct my lost files using Data Rescue II..... This program goes into the damaged hard drive and downloads all intact files it can find, but it is NOT able to label everything correctly. All it can do is divide things into folders - Audio files, document files, images, mail, misc., and movies. And within these folders are other folders - for instance, in the "Audio" rescued folder, there are hundreds of AIFF files, AIFF1 files, AIFF2, MP3, WAV, m4a, and m4p files.
    My question is: can someone please tell me what the heck a Garage Band project file is? That would save me a lot of time in digging through all this material trying to find one....
    (Don't get me wrong... I'm grateful to have stuff to dig through! I just hope my Garage Band files are intact and recoverable.)
    Has anyone had success saving Garage Band files with Data Rescue II?
    Thanks in advance.

    Aaaagh!
    I spoke too soon. Yes,I did indeed find the file that contained all the files I needed to retrieve (using Disk Rescue II). When my 6-hour download of the 78 GB folder finished, I check the files again, and they weren't located in the orphaned section, but in the Hard Drive section under the normal directory, in a folder called .Trashes - within that there was another folder called "501", which contained all the Garageband files I needed to retrieve. However, when I tried to open the downloaded "rescued" files, they were inside a folder called "Macintosh HD", which could not be opened, and I got a message that said "Could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges." Not only that, but even after 6 hours of (apparently) downloading the 78 GB folder, my hard drive, which had close to 83 GB of free space, said STILL had almost that same amount.
    So did it download anything or not? What was it doing all those 6 hours? I have a file that I can't open, but apparently it's going to be empty anyway.
    Here's the full story, for anyone with the patience to listen and offer advice. It looks like now I'm looking for a way to 1) get the permissions to open the .trashes file so that I can download everything, or 2) figure out a way to get Disk Rescue II to open the files and download them regardless of the permissions.

    I am pretty sure that my computer crash was caused by working with the newest version of Garageband 08. Ever since buying it and loading it, my computer has been acting funny whenever I use the Garage Band program - I could only record about one in three attempts since the computer kept freezing as soon as I finished recording a line. I would have to use force restart to get going again.
    The day the computer crashed, I was working on a Garage Band project, which kept crashing, and I was also using Finale, Microsoft Word, and iTunes -- all of which are my normal procedure and I'd never had any problems with anything before loading the new Garage Band 08. (See my posts on other discussion topics for more details). After the last freeze, the computer crashed totally and could not be restarted - it would get to the gray screen with the spinning gear and just sit there while the fans ramped up to overload.
    I used Disk Warrior to rescue whatever files I could onto an external hard drive, and I started to download all the Garage Band files. However, the "estimated time to completion" said over 6 hours , so I stopped the download after a minute or so and went on to rescue all the other files that were smaller in size and easier to download - I figured I'd set Disk Warrior to download the whole 78 GB set of Garage Band files overnight while I slept. But....when I went back to begin the download again, I noticed that the directory of Garage Band files went only to the letter "C" instead of all the way to "Z" like my original files had done during that earlier attempt to download. I am assuming that somehow, the directory for the files I download before aborting the attempt (A-C) got exchanged with the directories of the original version (A-Z), but the original directory was no where to be found.
    I decided to try an archive install in the hopes that I could just restart my computer and get the files out by hand. The archive install went fine, and the computer started up fine and got to the log-in screen, which had changed. I now had two blanks - one for user name and one for password, instead of the choices of names. I tried all my user names and passwords, and asked my wife for her names and passcodes, but nothing worked. The computer had apparently re-set all its permissions and User accounts. I tried using Disk Utility to reset the password in its opening screens, but instead of getting several User options, the only one it allowed me to attempt was "System Administrator (root)", and even that wouldn't let me in to change any passwords.
    That's when I downloaded Data Rescue II, which does seem to do a good job of locating lost files. However, since I didn't have permissions to open the computer the last time, I am still apparently facing the same thing when I try to access files copies OFF the computer.
    So I'm not out of the woods yet. I can see the files on the Data Rescue screen, but I don't know whether they have permissions tied to them or not, and if they do, whether the system would let me since I don't know what the passwords and user names have defaulted back to.
    Any advice? Please?

  • How do I find a previously saved version of a doc

    I have spent over 5 hours on a doc that I opened in Pages this morning and was previously saved on my desktop. I have been saving it - like I always do - with apple + S BUT when I went to email this doc I just thought I should check it. It has nothing of my last 5 hours work on it.
    Through the tears of frustration and bewilderment I have looked at and opened previous copies that were listed in Pages (right click on Pages and it shows previous versions of the doc) BUT none of them have my stuff on.
    I don't know where else to look. I KNOW I saved it. It's an assignment and I saved it after I answered EVERY question. *cue more tears*
    The prospect of spending another 5 hours on this is  .... well, let's just say I would rather find my previously saved copy that has just disappeared.
    Any help would be most appreciated

    Arantha,
    Click the document name at the top of the Pages window and choose Browse Versions. See if any of your late changes are there. Also, use Finder to search for files with a similar name, since it's possible that your latest changes were made to a copy of the document and you may be able to find that copy if that's the case.

  • How do i save a project with an iLife preview once the project is already saved?

    I can't seem to find a way to save a Garageband project with an iLife preview so i can open it in Logic X, iMovie etc
    If you can help that'd be awesome thanks :-)

    Are you using GarageBand 10?
    There are no longer iLife Previews.  You share a version of your song to the Media Browser instead. Use the "Share" menu, Share > Song to Media Browser.

    How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an  horizontal format.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging.  For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option.  Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar.  Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet.  Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

  • When I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting?

    I'm trying to mix a recording in the latest 2014 version of Garageband, but when I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting? Does anyone know why it changes even after saving the file?
    Below is my iMac settings.

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store
