HOW DO I UNINSTALL GARAGEBAND

HOW DO I UNINSTALL GARAGEBAND BECAUSE I DOWNLOADED THE WHOLE VERSION BUT I DONT NEED IT NO MORE AND ITS TAKING MY MEMORY, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO DELETE THE PROGRAM JUST UNINSTALL IT?

Uninstalling means deleting the program (and some other files).
By far the most storage hungry part of GB are the loops, so you might just delete the corresponding folder: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops.
If you want more free space, delete the Instrument Library: HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library.
That will leave GB without loops and instruments, but still capable of recording audio.
If you want to get rid of GB completely, do a Spotlight search with "garageband" and delete all the files that come up (that includes the program).
And please don't write in all-caps, that's considered shouting (and hard to read).

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

How can I uninstall Garageband

How can I uninstall garage band in order to reinstall it.
I have been having problems creating files and songs on GarageBand 10.10.3
I have deleted a couple of songs and re-created them thinking the songs might have been corrupt.
Still the same problem the play is Herky jerky and doesn't function properly.
Do not want to use a third-party application to uninstall but want to be sure that when I uninstall GarageBand before reinstalling that it will get all of the components that might be corrupted.
I can drag the icon to the trash but will that take all of the components in the Mac with it.

Hello. Léonie
Yes indeed have a AU plugin called a RoughRider.component, and RoughRider.vst in the COMPONENT folder in Plug Ins, in Audio, where the maker (? at the moment, Cat something) told me to put them. It is a compressor suggested by a YOUTUBE guru, free and a must have, hmmm!!!!
Now this AU plugin is used in a track for vocals on this song. I could delete the vocal track (want it to be better anyway) then delete the AU from the Component folder. If I don't delete the vocal track, GB will not like that the track was recorded with something that is no longer there correct?
Let me also state that my AudioBox is a USB plugged into a Belkin Powered HUB plugged into he USB on the MAC.
I was thinking to just plug the A-Box USB direct to the MAC but was under the understanding that stuff plugged into the USB takes juice or 'energy', (sorry) something to be desired by running USB's off the Mac power.
I will wait for your reply as to the best way, 'IYHO', (in your honest opinion) as to dump the RoughRider.component and the RoughRider.vst before I just grab and delete and...... as last straw delete GB and reinstall. The reason for the question of just grabbing GB to the trash is all the files that are on the MAC associated with the application
To reinstall GarageBand 10.0.3 it should suffice to select GarageBand on the Launchpad, hold down on it until it starts to wiggle, and then press the "x" in the upper left corner to uninstall it.
Never knew about Launchpad, now I've learned another thing, thanks.

How do I uninstall Garageband 02 and install Garageband 08?

I just bought a second mini (used) that has Garageband 02 on it, and need to get Garageband 08 on it instead. I have the disks that came with my first mini. How do I get Garageband 02 out of the used mini and Garageband 08 on it? The two disks I have don't say which has iLife on them. Thanks.

well, I tried using disk 2 and the message was "insert disk 1", which gives me the message that I can't install the software on that computer. I sure was hoping disk 2 would work. Have spent too much time on this.

How do I uninstall garageband jam packs on mac os x lion?

Is a way on how to uninstall all garageband jam packs on mac os x lion that I don't want?

Go to HD/Library/Audio/Apple-Loops and delete the corresponding loops folders - that is the bulk of the disk space that the Jam Packs are using. The loops will still show up in GB - if you want to get rid of them, also trash all the Index files and re-index your loops by dragging the remaining loops folder onto GB's Loops Browser.

How do you 'uninstall' GarageBand '08??

I have trouble with G-Band. All other iLife '08 apps are fine, but G-Band starts 'initializing', or at least attempts to, and then I get 'Please ensure this Product has been installed properly'. I've updated to the latest version, no luck - then trashed all GB files and the app itself, reinstalled and updated, but still same problem.
I'm not sure when it started acting up, because I use Logic Express mostly ...go back to GB for fun. All other software, including the OS is up to date. There is no 'uninstall' option on the disc I can find ....any ideas?? I'm just about to try the other User ....see if it happens there too.
thanks in advance - and I'll thank you again if you have a fix 4 me
HOLD THE PRESS : I've tried the other user and it works, so I'll just have to troubleshoot my own User account. If you know of any beaties which might annoy GB, let me know!
cheers

Ok, the solution to my problem: I went to the ~/Library/ Audio / Plug Ins / Components. I thought it would be a case of removing them all, and replacing 1 by 1 and testing...a tedious task. But I saw AmpliTube2.component, and on a hunch, dragged it out to the desktop. Launched G-Band from the dock and voila - success!
I hope this info may be of use to others

How to uninstall GarageBand 08 to install 09?

I just bought iLife 09. How do I uninstall 08 so I can install 09?
thx

I just received my imac on Friday (first mac) and was so nervous about doing something wrong.
I just dropped ilife 09 into the slot - and it did it all for me.
(I had the 10.5.6 OS already though).
It appears to have either overwritten or uninstalled ilife 08 for me?
It's working a dream anyway.

How do I reinstall GarageBand 6.0.5 on my MacBook Pro Retina running OS X Mavericks?

I have recently installed the latest version of GarageBand on my recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" Retina. After discovering two GarageBand icons in the Launchpad, I removed the older version, only to discover that the app was also automatically erased from the drive instead of being moved to Trash. I now need the older GarageBand 6.0.5 as the newer version 10.0.1 lacks certain essential features that the older one had. However, due to the lack of a restore from Trash option (due to the unexpected automatic erase once removed from Launchpad) as well as a complete lack of installation DVDs in the newer MacBook Pros, how do I reinstall GarageBand 6.0.5?

After discovering two GarageBand icons in the Launchpad, I removed the older version, only to discover that the app was also automatically erased from the drive instead of being moved to Trash.
That is what deleting from the Launchpad is supposed to do - removing the icon and uninstalling the app. It follows the model of the IOS home screen, where you can browse and remove apps installed on the iPad or iPhone.
if you want to clean up your launchpad without uninstalling applications, create a folder in the launchpad by dragging the icons on top of each other. I have one folder apps that I have never used, but do not want to delete.
I now need the older GarageBand 6.0.5 as the newer version 10.0.1 lacks certain essential features that the older one had.
Have you a Time Machine backup of your system, that goes back in time before the time you deleted GarageBand '11? I have seen some posts of forum members, who downgraded the system back to MacOS 10.8.5, but even that did not make GB 6.0.5 appear at the AppStore again.

How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
end of the burned DVD.
In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
end of burned projects.
This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
but the system will not let me.
Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
components and install iLife '06?
Thanks

I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

How do I unistall garageband?

How do I unistall garageband?

Where do you want to uninstall? On your iPad/iPhone or on your Mac, as your profile signature indicates?
On your mac you delete the GarageBand application from the Applications folder by selecting it and pressing command-delete (this will require your administrator password), and it will depend on your other audio applications (MainStage, Logic) if you will want to delete files from the system Library -
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand
/Library/Audio/Apple Loops
and the user library. These folders are holding several GB of data, but other applications you have installed may be using these files as well.
On your IOS device, tap and hold an icon until all your icons start wiggling. You’ll see an X icon in the top-left corner of some of the app's icons. Tap the x to delete the app.
