How to reinstall Garage band??

Alrighty...it seems like everytime I upgrade my computer loops go missing and then I have to find them and move them around and what not. What I was wondering is how do I unistall Garage Band then reinstall it? I have the MacOS 10.4 cd and the ilife 06 cd and all my original software. I just want to start over from scratch and reload all my jam packs and the ilife update. Thanks for anyones help! -Tom-

Do a search on your computer for "GarageBand". You'll find the app, its preference files (there are 2), and the standard loops folder(s). Delete them.
Then search for "Jam Pack", and any jam pack folders should turn up, delete those folders and you should be ready to install GB and the JPs from the DVDs from scratch.

  • Reinstall garage band

    I am having issues reinstalling garage band from my ilife disk. I have removed all of the old program from the HD that was not working correctly but still can not get the program to reinstall. The installer goes all the way to the end and then tells me there was an error - try again.
    Any suggestions?

    This may not be a garageband issue. How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Have you tried running disk utility or other maintenance program?

  • Reinstalling Garage Band 3

    I have a new Intel DuoProcessor Mac that came with Garage Band Installed. My grandson inadvertently deleted some of Garage Band's features. I have the install disks that came with my computer; and I just want to know if there's a way to just reinstall Garage Band without reinstalling all of the bundled software or the system itself before I start fooling around. Is Garage Band part of the Mac OSX system, or is it bundled software? Thanks

    GarageBand has never been part of the OS, so that's not an issue at all B-)>
    Yes, you can use the Custom Install option on the DVD to install just GB (adn then when you're done, set up a Non-Admin account with limited privs for Grandson B-)>

  • How to transfer Garage Band to new computer with all selfmade stuff

    I just got myself a new macbook pro with of course garage band preinstalled.
    I transfered all my .band projects from my old macbook and the loops i made too.
    i put the loops in the same directory as they were on my old macbook hd/library/audio/apple loops/user loops/ but garage band didn't find them so i manually mooved them into the loop browser in garage band.
    only problem: i have to mark them all as favorites again and whenever i open an old .band project for the first time gb has to search for each one again.
    can you tell me how to do it better next time?
    but now to the more important and current problem:
    where do i find my selfmade software instruments on my old macbook and where do i have to put them on my new one?
    and is there anything else i might need from my old gb that i didn't think of?
    thanks,
    paul

    The best way would have been to use the Migration Assistant - it would have moved your whole user folder and your personal stuff over to the new computer.
    About the instruments: There could be two Instrument Library folders, under HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand and User/Library/Application Support/GarageBand (depending on whether you made the instruments available to all users.) If the other GB is a standard installation of the same version, you can just replace the folders on the new computer with the ones from the old machine, and all your instruments should be there. (The "if" refers to the fact that by doing this you lose all custom instruments you might have made on the new computer.)

  • I want to make a DVD on how to use Garage band and sell them. Do I need apple's permission to do this?

    If I want to write a book on how to make great music in Garage Band and sell the book do I need permisison. I also thought about making video tutorials on the same subject. Again do I need permission to do this?

    This is a user forum, and certainly not a legal forum. 
    Legal systems and requirements vary by geography. 
    If you have a legal- or trademark-related question, you'll want to check directly with your own lawyer, and potentially with the folks at Apple Legal.

  • How to convert garage band mp3 to mp4a for iBooks Author

    I wanted to share a quick and easy tip for converting mp3 audio fiiles done in Garage Band for a book in iBooks Author. SImply click  on the mp3 podcast and drag it into Quick Time Player and when the audio file comes up in Quick Time, export the file. The export will convert the audio podcast into the mp4a format required by iBooks Author. This file can be dragged into the media box provided by the Widget. Simple, easy.  I am getting ready to publish a book of 70 podcasts.

    Jeanette... I believe you are talking about an M4A file (also know as AAC). MP4 files files are what Apple used to use in the iTUnes Store and are DRM (digital rights management). Being that iBooks Author only accepts M4A, it is what's you want to use.
    If you have iTunes, you can use it to convert an MP3 to an M4A very easily. here is a YouTube tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7nZRjg7zMw

  • How to make garage band updated after re-imaging your Mac Book Pro

    ONE SIMPLE THING FOLKS!
    1. MOVE YOUR GARAGE BAND TO THE TRASH
    2. GO TO APP STORE AND RE-DOWNLOAD GARAGE BAND
    3. START IT UP- YOU WILL GET THE SAME UPDATE 1.6 GIG THING
    4. DOWNLOAD IT
    5. THIS TIME IT WORKS AND YOUR GARAGE BAND STARTS UP NO PROBLEM
    THAT'S IT!!!

    My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
    Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...

  • How to make Garage Band rescan Audio Units...

    Fianly found the solution to get Garage Band to rescan the audio units...
    If GB finds a bad audio unit, it lists it as not compatable. If you fix the bug in the audio unit, Garage Band still refuses to load it. I have had this problem with Native Instrument devices like Kontakt. They developed a bug which was later resolved and GB would never list it as available after it was working. Bad news which others have experienced.
    This solution worked for Garage Band 4.0, not sure if it is the same with earlier versions.
    SOLUTION:
    Remove file: com.apple.audiounits.cache
    In folder: ~/Library/Caches/
    The "~" refers to your home folder name. If you remove this cache file, then launch Garage Band, it will rescan all audio units and test them for compatability and show all the accepted ones.
    Whew... took me three days of looking, good luck

    You can also use a maintenance program like "Onyx" to clear your caches.
    The latest Onyx actualy has a cache cleaning option which by default won't clear the caches of applications using Audio Units so the user doesn't have to go thru all the trouble of rescanning after every maintenance run.
    As a side comment to add to this thread. Whenever I clean my cache for GB I always have a problem later with GB initializing. I have a zillion AU's and a few of them hang up GB after a cache cleaning and GB will initilize forever.
    I found that to get around this problem I wait for the problem AU's to display their warning windows and then I force quit GB and start it again. After that GB will start right up for me at least with all the AU's scanned and no other problems.

  • How to use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and acoustic guitar)

    Hello!
    I'd like to know if I could I use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and nylon acoustic guitar).
    I have an M-Audio fast Track PRO (with 2 plug-ins) as well.
    Is the M-Audio Fast track strictly for recording or could it be used for live too?
    And for the speaker I though about splitting the audio output from the computer into 2 and one would connect to a loudspeaker going outwards and the other towards me as a monitor.
    And the set I wanted to do included a DJ.
    I have the Djay spin table and the software.
    Would it be possible to run GarageBand for me with the voice and guitar plugged into the M-Audio and then into the Mac and equalize it (and either record it or just play through it). And, on another screen the Djay software and also connect the spin table into the Mac and run it together with me?
    Thanks,
    Fernando.

    just playing through GB should be fine, but recording, especially with other software running, might fail. if having a record of the event isn't the most important thing, then go for it. otherwise, i'd suggest using an audio editor to capture the event as you play though GB:

  • How to save garage band as mp3

    how can I save a GarageBand file it as an MP3 directly into an iPad

    What proprietary format?
    AAC stands for Advanced Audio Codec-it was made by the same people who made mp3, it is designed to be a more feature rich technologically update to the obsolete mp3 format. It is an industry standard.
    To the OP-only solution I have seen is import it into iTunes on a pc, convert to mp3 there.

  • How to use garage band

  • How do I upgrade to the latest Garage Band if I have the 10.6.8 operating system?

    I currently have the Mac OS X 10.6.8 operating system and the Garage Band I have is 4.1.2.  The latest version of Garage Band appears to be 10.0.2, so I'm thinking I should upgrade to that.  In looking at a You Tube video on how to use Garage Band, his screens didn't look like mine.  Anyway, can anyone tell me whether I should upgrade to the latest operating system and, if so, how I go about doing that?  Is that a simple download, click on it and it loads and that's all there is to it?

    Thanks for replying.  Is that Mavericks?  Someone had said Mavericks wasn't such a good operating system.  What do you think?
    Mavericks is better than its predecessors Lion and Mt. Lion. It is faster and introduced better safety features, like the Gate Keeper. And it supports syncing devices using iCloud.
    The upgrade to Mavericks  is free, as well the purchase of GarageBand 10.0. The newest GarageBand is very different from the previous version GarageBand '11. Some features have been discontinued and other introduced. Don't uninstall GarageBand '11. You may want to use both versions concurrently. It is difficult to get Garageband '11 and all instruments and effects back, once you uninstalled it on Mavericks.
    If you decide to upgrade, make a full TimeMachine backup before you do that, so you can restore your current system, if you discover that necessary apps are not working.  Your current system is the last system that still supports Rosetta and PowerPC applications. You may have expensive software installed, that cannot be upgraded to Mavericks. So check, if all necessary apps, plug-ins, audio interfaces will work with Mavericks.

  • Garage Band '11, version 6.0.5 will not change key after new project is started

    Garage Band '11 version 6.0.5:  Cannot change key after new project is started.
    It has always worked ok prior to this. And I have had other issues. How do I reinstall Garage Band '11?
    I have looked in downloads, but can'ty find any download file. I had upgraded to Mac OSX 10.6.8 couple years back, which included
    Garage Band '11, a new ITunes & new IPhoto.

    Before reinstalling I'd try HangTime's fix for "oddball" problems and delete the User preferences and repair permissions, see the FAQ:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    The GarageBand 6.0.5 update is here: 
    GarageBand 6.0.5
    If you want to reinstall, install again the GaragaBand application from your installation disk and then upgrade again to 6.05 using the link above or Software update from the Apple Menu.
