HT202196 Why can't I open my garageband ios song on my Mac?

This is what it says in Apple support:
Use GarageBand for Mac 6.0.2 or later to open GarageBand for iOS songs.
My version of GarageBand on my mac is 6.0.5. When I try to open a song I created on my iphone, it tells me that my Mac version of the software can't open the song, and that I need to update. When I check updates, however, it tells me that I have the latest version of the software.
***? I want to edit the song I made on my phone, on my mac. Why is this not possible?

GarageBand for iOS and Mac: Project compatibility
This document needs updating (Last Modified: Oct 4, 2012). It was written before the release of the IOS 7 version of GarageBand.
If you are having the newest GarageBand version on your iPhone, you will need to upgrade to GarageBand 10.0 or later on your Mac to be able to import the projects from your iPhoene.

Why can't I open a GarageBand recording on my iPhone in GarageBand on Mac OSX?

I recorded an acoustic performance of my vocal quart last night on an iPhone running GarageBand 2.0.1 on iOS 7.1.2. But I can't open it in GarageBand 11 (6.0.5) on Mac OSX 10.9.5. What gives?
Not only will it not open (and the software on my Mac platform is way more recent than on my iPhone, so you'd think it would be upward compatible), but when I try to open this iOS-created file on the Mac, it asks me where I want to save it ... it's already saved, I'm just trying to open it.
I've looked at the reviews for the latest GarageBand, which it tells me I need to upgrade to, and they are terrible! Many report that they wish they hadn't upgraded and that they could get back to an older version of GarageBand on their Mac.
Does this mean I'm stuck and the two GarageBand platforms are not compatible and that I won't be able to open this file? ... other thanes an mp3 in iTunes ...
Thanks for any insights you can give me.

it sounds like it's opening fine, but you're just not letting it finish.
it's asking you to save a version of the song for the mac; if it saved over the original file, it could no longer be opened on the iOS device, if you needed to alter something later

Why Can't I Open My PNG Files? Going from MAC to PC

I created .png files in Photoshop CS on my MAC. Now I can't open them in Photoshop 6 on my PC running Windows Vista. Why? The files open as blank. All .jpg and .psd files open with no trouble.

I just installed PhotoShop 6.0 on from an old disk (licensed) onto my laptop Toshiba PC running Windows Vista. I have had no problems so far except for this .png issue. I basically just wanted a high-resolution image with a transparent background. I suppose I could try to save them again as uncompressed .psd images on my MAC and try opening them again on the laptop...but I hate having to do weird things like that. png should work!

Why can't I open my Garageband on my ipad

Garageband don't want to open, it instant close

Mybe some bits are "out of place". You can try this.
Export the Song (the GarageBand Song, not the Audio mix). For this you don't have to open the project, you do it from the "My Songs" window. Once you have the .band file synced to your iTunes File Sharing window on your computer, rename the file and sync it back to your iOS device. Try to open it.
If it was a minor "confusion" this could have straightened it out.
Good luck
Hope that helps

Why can't I open project created in MacBook Pro on Mac Mini?

I mixed a fairly simple project on my MacBook. And I cannot open it on my Mini; L8 freezes and crashes. Is the file too big? Too many plugins? ???? I am completely baffled.
I don't expect an answer, but hey, no harm in trying.

Depends on whether you like doing puzzles or not...
If you do, by all means try to fix it. Try some or all of the following: bypass inserts (either or both); bounce the audio; try the audio alone in Quicktime; check the sample rate & bit depth of the audio file; freeze the track; move the audio to a newly created audio track and delete the old one...
On the other hand, if you're on a schedule, forget it. There are too many bugs in Logic and, even if we could diagnose the problem and fill in Apple's tedious bug form, you won't get it fixed in a month of Sundays. Grab your audio file and put it into a clean track in a new project, add the inserts and bring in the rest of your work.
Sometimes, Apple turns us into their unpaid testers/problem reporting team and, frankly I think we should all be making music.
Of course, your mileage may vary

Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

Hello...
I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
Here was my process in a nutshell:
~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
as often throughout this process.)
~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
...Rae

Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

Why can't I open a lot of documents since yosemite. They are in grey

Since I installed the last version of OS X on my Ipad, I could not open a lot of documents on my Mac. I thought this problem would be solved when I would install Yosemite on my mac but this is not the case.
Why are so many documents in grey and why can't I open these documents on my mac with yosemite ?

Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite?

Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite? In the previous OS, I could highlight many links at a time, right click and then select "Open URL" to open the links in Safari. Now, if I select more than five links at a time (and sometimes with five links) it will only open the first five and TextEdit pops up with the alert, "The 'Open URL' service could not be used."
I'm running 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 500 GB HD.
TextEdit is Version 1.10 (319).

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

What is a .pkf and why can't I open it?

Newb here,
I am working in Audition for the first time (by employer's request). I was given session files as .pkf files from work but have no idea how to open them at home.
I have searched through all of the previous forum entries, help folders and google to no avail. I have a deadline to meet and am getting nowhere closer.
So in summary,
What exactly does a .pkf file hold? Session info? Audio?
Why can't I open it in Audition if it was created by it? How do I open it?
Any info would be very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to read my request!
(also, let me know if this is the wrong place for this)

THANK YOU!!!
You have provided me information that I couldn't find after countless hours of searching everywhere imaginable!
I'll go contact my employer right now. I have all the audio files but no session files (sesx) that would contain all the range markers I need.
Thanks again!

Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

Hi,
Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
Please help!

Why can't I open pdf files allthough having adobe reader 9 preinstalled on my new windows 7 laptop?

Hi!
I think my question might be simple to answer, so please if you read this give it a try...
I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 on it. Adobe Reader 9 was allready installed. I wanted to open simple pdf files, but I got the message "Adobe Reader ?" in an empty field that pops up.
Why can't I open pdf files? Do I also need to install the Adobe Flash Player as well?
I would be very glad if you could give me a hint.
Thanx

It appears as if Adobe Reader is not correctly installed. Try installing the latest version 9.2 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - make sure that you uncheck any unwanted software bundled with the download.
P.S. no, you don't need Flash Player to open PDF files.
