HT6032 If I paid for full version iOS7 Garageband, why are iMac Garageband sounds still locked?

Hi all
My issue is that I purchased the full Garageband App for iPad on iOS7 but my iMAC shows that the full sound set is still locked. I can transfer ideas from iPad to iMAC as Garageband songs no problem. I can use the full sound set on the iPad but just not on the iMAC.
I tried contacting Apple directly but have received no reply or acknowledgement.
I use a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo iMAC with OSX 10.9.1
My Garageband on the iMAC is version 10.0.1
Can anyone tell me if I'm entitled to Garageband on the iMAC without paying again?
If so, how do I fix the problem?
Thanks!

I can understand your irritation, but as I see it, it is not really a break in Apple's policy, it is just a very unfortunate and misleading naming of two very different products.  I suggest to use the feedback form and write your post above to the developer team. This way, they will know about the problem. Use the form below:
Apple - GarageBand iLife - Feedback
When I buy a product in one device, I don't expect to have to pay for the same product in another device or computer (especially when they have exactly the same name!)
Just a few notes on this:  You can use GarageBand iOS on many different devices, as long as they are able to execute the program. My GarageBand iOS is running on an iPod Touch, an iPhone 5s, an iPad 3, with only one purchase. All devices are able to run the iOS operating system and have processors, that can execute the code.
The same goes for GarageBand iLife. It will run on any Mac with an Intel processor, that can run a reasonably new version of MacOS X.
Have you noticed, that both GarageBands do really not have much more in common than the name? The iOS version for mobile devices is mainly a program to play and perform music using the iPad sceen , e.g as a musical touch instrument - as a guitar or keyboard, and you can jam along. The Mac version is better for arranging and mixing music or editing tracks and adding effects, but it does not support playing music very well. You need real instruments.

  • Had problem downloading Elements 13 so used the live chat - advisor downloaded a trial version, even though I've paid for full version. I now have to enter the serial number every time I want to use PE 13. Any suggestions?  Many thanks

    As above, live chat advisor downloaded PE 13 as I couldn't get it to work - but it turns out to be a trial version, even though I had already paid for full version.  I now have to enter the serial no every time before I can use it!  Any suggestions greatfully received!!

  • Paid for full version game but still stuck on trial how to fix?

    I have been playing a trails version of a game, and decided to pay for the full version, my account has been debited but the game is still stuck in the trail version please help??!!

    Does the game have an IAP download option, and/or does the developer's website have any info as to how to download IAPs in it ? If not then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Photoshop Elements 12. Paid for full version...only allowed a 1 year trail??

    Last summer i purchased PSE 12 off the Groupon website. It said nothing of a trial version. I tried to logon PSE 12 tonight and now adobe is wanting me to pay $100 more to use the program. I have a friend with PSE and he has never had to repay to use his program. Is this issue common? What should i do?

    There is no one-year anything with PSE. Even Revel is a monthly subscription and then only if you want to exceed the free 2GB storage.
    First of all, what do you mean by "log on"? In PSE 12, to log on is to activate PSE and if you log out you deactivate it and need to reenter your serial number? Is that wha you mean? Just type in your serial number when asked and don't log out again. (Revel is a separate log in and you can log out of that all the time if you like.)

  • Overpaying for full version when only need Photographers version? Never get response from Adobe

    Paying for full version since it started - every month I ask why I'm overpaying as only use Lightroom and Photoshop - never get an answer.
    How can you communicate with Adobe?

    Hi RoyMorris
    Contact options are available here: Contact Customer Care
    We can cancel your existing plan and then you can sign up for the Creative Cloud Photography Plan if that is better suited to your needs.
    Let me know if you want me to process the cancellation - you will still have full access until 24th September and can then sign up for the new plan.
    Kind regards

  • I updated my iPod to ios7 but now I have none of songs that I've already paid for on the ipod, but they are still in my PC. How can I reload them on the ipod?

    I have just updated my ipod to ios7 and thought my music content was backed up in the process, but find all of the songs that I have already paid for in the past are missing from the ipod. They are still on my pc, but I don't know how to transfer them to the ipod. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

  • How do I get new content without paying - I paid for previous version of GarageBand

    I paid for the previous versions of GarageBand and i am wondering if i have to paid for the additional content. When I try to restore purchases it states I have now and if I go to download the new drummers it wants me to pay.
    Do I get this content for free as I already paid for GarageBand in the past or do i have to pay again?
    Thanks
    Craig

    The Apple Support document is not very clear on this, see:
    Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6031
    You can find this option by choosing Download More Sounds from the GarageBand menu. If you previously purchased this content, select Restore Purchase to install the content.
    Have you tried "Software Update" after restoring the purchases? For me the new drummers were then added for free.  But I had previously MainStage 2 and Logc X 10 installed, with all Jam Packs and plenty of drummers. Maybe, "Restore Purchase" will be different, if you did not have these additional software installed.

  • Where is the official download page for full version of Firefox? Old one has only stubs now.

    The old page now has stubs only, there is no full version on it:
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Separate but valid question: Searching Mozilla Support on this very forum yields no answers as to where to download the full version of the program itself, around which this entire forum has been set up with all the numerous questions in it about the program... yet there is no answer on how and where to actually *GET* the full version of the program... this strongly suggests that the forum administrators went out of their way, to make it difficult to impossible for users to get the FULL VERSION of the program...
    There are many valid reasons for needing the full version of the program, don't you think it's pretty incredible that it has always been difficult to download the full version of Firefox? The old page had it buried in between the Acholi and Xhosa languages, even though English (US) is probably needed by millions of users vs. relatively few for Acholi and Xhosa... Millions of users had to go though gymnastics of finding it buried in between all the worlds languages with every consecutive version, and now they completely removed it even from that page...
    What is the the reason, and you have to agree there is a reason, for Mozilla preventing us from having the full installation file? And what is the reason, even when the full installation file existed on that page, for this forum to make it almost impossible to find that page when searching the forum, or the entire internet for the official full version download page?

    Last time I checked, that page did link to full installers. The format of the links for Windows was:
    https://download.mozilla''.''org/?product=firefox-'''36.0.4-SSL'''&os=win&lang=en-US
    I have bolded the part that currently says '''stub'''. Hand-crafted links in that form still work (but I have broken the link in this post with my formatting).
    I don't have personal knowledge of what's going on with the "all" download page and hope it changes back.
    As for blaming this forum for anything having to do with the "all" download page, you must be kidding. That page was always available from the main page using a link that said Systems & Languages and as the link says, it lists all the available systems and languages.

  • How to do I have my rented movie played from iTunes? I paid for it and the last time I checked, it was still downloading

    I rented a movie called "Holes" from iTunes. I paid for it with my iTunes gift card. It took a long time to download the movie, so I went and took a nap. I woke up and tried to play the film and it will not show. It doesn't even show I purchased it nor does it show it's available to rent. The balance on my gift card shows the movie was paid for. Where is my movie? How do I play a rented movie I purchased for on iTunes?

    All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you are on a very slow connection and it's going to take longer than 24 hours (48 hours if you aren't in the US) to download a rental then don't start playing it until it's completed downloading - the 24 or 48 hour countdown starts as soon as you click play.

  • Latest version of Mozilla not supported by online college website. Where can I get downloads for older versions of Mozilla that are supported. Specifically, 3.o to be compatible with Blackboard CE8.3?

    I go to Greenville Technical College in Greenville SC where I take online courses. The school utilizes a program called Blackboard which runs something called Campus Edition 8 service pack 3 (CE8.3). This fall I logged in after taking the summer off to discover that my Mozilla 5 is not compatible with their system. The Blackboard support pages indicate that the CE8.3 is compatible with Mozilla 3.o. My problem is that I cannot find that version to download for a reinstall of the browser. Can you help me? School starts Monday!
