I want to send garageband files to other macs?
I have a macbook pro mid 12' and an iMac mid 11', I want to send a gargeband file to my friend who has a mac himself, but all of the info that I can find says to control click the file and compress, or archive it, and I don't see that option. I think it's because I have a newer version of gargeband but I'm not sure.
Two things:
Does your friend have the same JamPacks and loops installed as you? If not, save your project as an archive. This option will only appear with the "Save as" option, and only, if the project needs saving, because you edited a track. So edit something to force the "Archive Project" option to apear in the export panel.
Once the project has been exported, compress it: Select it in the Finder, ctrl-click it, and select "Compress xxxx.band"from the pop-up menu.
Then mail the compressed zip-file as attachment.
However, your compressed file might still be too large to mail it. If your project contains a lot of real instruments track in high audio quality the project will be easily too large to send it by mail. Then it would be preferrable to upload it to server (Dropbox or similar), so that your friend can download it.

Sending Garageband files to other Mac's?
Hi guys,
i've created a track and want to send it to my friend whos a singer so he can put the vocals down. if i just select the garageband file and send it will this include all the individual tracks too? should i also .zip it or compress it before i send? or will that effect the file when its opened again?
also can you do this or will the files be protected? :SAs Hangtime suggests, copy protection shouldn't be a problem.
The only two things I can think of that might be an issue are 1) if you have different versions of GB and they turn out to be incompatible, or 2) when GB saves your file, if it doesn't include all data. For example, perhaps a loop exists on your computer that a GB file points to but doesn't actually include, and that loop may not be on your friend's computer. However, I'm not really sure how GB saves projects, so this is pure speculation and may not be a problem at all. The simplest way to find out is probably just to go ahead and do it... send the file to yourself to confirm that at least that works, and then send it to your friend and hopefully there won't be a problem! -
how can i insert a file in a mail message i send to someone? i don't want the picture to be open or the text to be displayed. I want to send the file as a file. Pleas advise. thank you.
Attach it to the message. An attachment is an attachment -- if it is displayed or not by the recipient's e-mail client is not under your control.
You can zip it (compress it) before sending it; if it's text, you should zip it anyway; if it's JPEG, zipping will not reduce the size (in fact, it's even possible it may increase it slightly), but most e-mail clients do not display what's inside a zip archive. -
I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?
Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!
If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Can I use Icloud to store and share other files, with other Mac users?
Hello, I was just wondering if I could use iCloud to store and share files with other Mac users over the internet? Thanks!
I would suggest re posting in the iCloud for Mac forum where all the people in here that are experts with that hang out. Good luck.

Share automator file with other MAC users
I created an automator file to rename a group of files.
It works correctly in my MAC
If I transfer this file to other MAC users via DMG file will it work on their machines 10.6.8 and 10.7.5It really depends on what actions are compatable to theirs. Can you upload a screen shot of your workflow?
I use Automator a lot and share with a lot of people with macs. -
I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!
As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?
Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format. -

Subject: WHEN I TRY TO OPEN A PDF FILE, THE READER OPENS HUNDREDS OF MULTIPLE BLANK PAGES .
Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with. Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
Uninstall Reader 9.
Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

I want to send PDF files to icloud from my PC , from icloud to my iPad , then deleate file in icloud
I have a PC Windows 7 which I want to share files,PDF, with on my iPad Air WiFi New sept 2014,using iCloud, After sharing I want to erase the files from iCloud. Later I want to share some files, PDF, from my iPad air back to my windows 7 PC. Then again erase from icloud or iTunes, which ever is used.
That type of sharing between your PC and iOS devices using iCloud isn't possible until iCloud Drive is introduced later this year. (It may be available for your iPad next week with the introduction of iOS 8, but the ability to access is on your PC may not be possible until OS X Mavericks is introduced later this year.)

Getting waved-horizontal lines in my imagery just after working in photoshop...sending to files as with after completing some applications, such as printing. Nothing is wrong with my Mac...Issue does not occur every time I go into using Photoshop?
Doesn't matter what kind of file...size, jpeg or tiff, black and white as color, etc...Something is in the software issue for my upgraded CS 5 Photoshop, running on a Mac OSX with Leopard version. The CS 5 Adobe software was in an up-grade from CS 3. Best I can do and I thank you for any suggestions based on your experienced background as I can only offer a general interpretation with the waved-horizontal lines that run across some of my images from being in the Photoshop mode from Bridge.

Opening iPhoto file from other Mac in order to extract images
My son got his first MacBook Pro trashed several months ago. He got another, but did not port his data from the iPhoto file backed up from his first MBP. Instead, he has an iPhoto file on his new MBP and has been adding pics and movies to it.
The problem is he has about 5GB of pics/movies in the old iPhoto file, and he wants to extract them and import them into his current iPhoto file. The old iPhoto file is on an external drive that he used for backup. My task is to get these images from the old iPhoto file for him.
I was hoping I could swap iPhoto files on my Mac, but that didn't seem to work.
How can we gain access to the images in the old iPhoto file?
Message was edited by: FastdudeThe easiest way to do what you want is to use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two Libraries.
Altenratively: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point it at the Library on the external. Export the pics from it (File -> Export) and import them to the new Library. Note: There is no way to get all the versions of the photos when you do this.
