How to transfer a garageband file from Mac to iPad?

Recorded some tracks on Garageband on the Mac; and want to transfer the file to my iOS device.
Tried emailing a .band file and an .mp3 ; but neither would open up in Garageband on the iPad.
Even put the file onto iTunes on the mac and synced to itunes on the iPad; but still can't figure out how to even open an mp3 file ; nevermind a band file on iOS Garageband
Any help appreciated
Thanks;-)

You can only sync GarageBand projects from your mac to the iPad that originally have been created on your iPad. Creating a project on the iPad, then sending it to a mac, opening it on the Mac, doing some edits (but nothing that is not supported on the iPad), then upload it again to the iPad will work. But sendind a Mac-created GarageBand project to the iPad is not possible. The applications are just too different.
You can open your mp3 in GarageBand on the iPad, however.  Sync it to the iPad using iTunes, so you see it in the Music.app on your iPad. All songs there can be accessed from the Loop Browser on the iPad, see: Import a song from the Music app
To sync projects between iPad and Mac use iTunes.
To send a song from the iPad to your mac as a project, share the song to iTunes > GarageBand.
Sync your iPad with your computer.
In iTunes, the exported song appears in the Documents list in the File Sharing area when GarageBand is selected.
To send the project back to the iPad, add it to garageBand's Documents list in iTunes.

  • Transfer garageband files from mac to ipad

    Aynone know how to to do this

    There are hacks available on the internet that allows you to actually open a GarageBand11 Project on your iOS device.
    First of all, it is a really tedious process and second, it doesn't make much sense if the used instruments and plugins are not available on the iOS version. If you just want to get the MIDI data accross and don't run into compatibility issues - you can try it.
    Hope that helps

  • How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2?

    How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2? I can open the GarageBand Documents folder through iTunes while the iPad is sync'd but I can't seem to "add..." any of my old .band folders to the iPad to be able to view those music projects. When I tried I could only sync individual data files contained in the .band folders over to the iPad and there was no way to organize them into .band project folders. What can I do here to get these GarageBand projects onto my iPad for further use?

    This is not currently possible. You can transfer an iPad project to the Mac, and transfer songs/loops from the Mac to iPad, but not GB files from Mac to iPad.

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

  • Transfer pdf file from mac to ipad

    How to transfer pdf file from mac to ipad without using the internet and with the help of the cable?

    You say without using the internet, then the only way left is to use a USB connection to itunes on your computer.
    If you have a pdf reader app on the ipad (you must if you hope to read pdf files on the ipad), then go into the Apps tab in iTunes (for your device)  and find the pdf reader app in the list.  If there, then drag a pdf file from the mac to the panel in iTunes and then sync.  Once on the ipad, you should be able to open the pdf reader app and access the pdf file.

  • How to transfer my PDF files from computer to iphone 5s

    How to transfer my PDF files from my laptop to my iPhones 5 s and how to make folder to store those files?

    The iphone does not have a file system to create a folder in, instead apps themselves are responsible for storing their files,
    Use an app like ibooks or acrobat reader.
    You can then transfer the files via itunes or email them and then use the open in... option and select your chosen app.
    They will then be stored within that app.

  • How do i back up files from mac to external harddrive

    how do I back up files from mac to external harddrive not using time machine?

    First format the external as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Connect via Firewire.
    If it is just a few files or folders you want to back up you can just drag and drop. Or you can use SyncTwoFolders to keep the backups up to date.
    If you want to back up your entire start-up disk use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which can make a bootable clone of your entire start-up drive.
    You can Google for the download sites of these applications, or search here:

  • IMovie files from Mac to iPad

    Spent a lot of time trying to find a way to move iPhoto slide shows and iMovie productions to iPad 2.  Found nothing on the web but a lot of entries leading to the same flaky software site.  Have a three year old iMac, 2.4 GHz with OS 10.6.7.  By accident found that a  slide show produced in iPhoto and sent to iDVD appeared in iTunes when I selected the "movies" option.  I dragged this icon to the icon of my tethered iPad (32 Mbyte 3G).  It played fine.
    Next I opened a project in iMovie, went to SHARE and selected iTunes.  I next selected iPad as the preferred device and waited 15 minutes for my 20 minute video to show in the "Movies" option of iTunes.  Again I dragged the movie title from iTunes to the icon of my tethered iPad.  It copied quickly.  I closed the iPad icon on the iMac, opened my iPad, went to movies, found the title I had just copied, and played. 
    I was very pleased with the result since materials for the movie came from digitized Super 8 film footage.

  • How do you transfer Pages files from Mac to ipad?

    How do you transfer Pages documents from Mac to Ipad?

    If you have iOS 5 on the iPad and enabled iCloud in Pages, you can go on your Mac and go to http://icloud.com, then click iWork, then click the gear icon and upload the document. It should appear on your iPad.
    If you have an older OS on the iPad, you will need to plug in to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad under DEVICES. Then click on the Apps tab up top. Scroll down until you see a File Sharing section. Click on Pages, then click on the "Add" button.
