IControl won't affect Garage Band

Hi
I've just bought an iControl by m-audio - a USB controller for Garage Band
My version of GB is 3.05 and OS is Leopard.
When I push the buttons and move the faders nthing happens to the program, and the keybord I connect thru the iControl's 5-pin MIDI in doesn't affect GB
the only thing that works is the master volume - when II move it it changes the volume on a selected track (but not the master volume)
Could you please tell me what am I to do? Is it all cause of leopard?

thanks guys,
it's just that I really need such device - dealing with computer and the mouse makes me completely sick when I'm trying to record a song. It's too much time to spend for pushing knobs on the screen, and iControl is I guess the better and the cheapest way to arrange a comfortable recording.
I'm quiet disappointed to face the fact I won't be able to use the controler.
Do you know if there's some other thing like this controller?

Why won't new garage band recognize my keyboard?

On my laptop version 10.7.4 whenever I pluged my keyboard into the usb port a picture of an electornic keyboard would appear on garage band with a pop up stating that a keyboard had been detected and asking wiether I wanted to use input from the keyboard. My brand new computer doesn't seem to recognize my keyboard. What do I do?

You'll hardly get an answer without telling us your keyboard model and how you are connecting it to the computer (with a midi interface or through its USB out?).

Opening Garage Band files in Logic Express

I'm a school music teacher and have just started using Logic Express 7 to open kids' Garage Band files for tidying up and polishing.(Still a beginner with logic I'm afraid!) Have just purchased Logic Express 8 update, but haven't installed it because I heard that it won't open Garage Band 3 files. Is this true? If so, is it possible to have both 7 and 8 running independently on the computer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The original release of LE8 had a bug which required a workaround to open GB files. The subsequent 8.0.1 update fixed that. After you install LE8, go to Software Update and install the 8.0.1 update and you will be fine.

Its says my phone has synced with another iTunes account on the same computer? I Want my garage band songs to go from my phone back to my laptop but they won't

So my Mac got wiped, obviously all my iTunes bought songs and stuff are rested but in lost most of my Garage band Productions, now the ones that had luckily gone to my phone won't transfer to ituens?

No, it is just saying it is a different iTunes library. If your computer was wiped then the original one is gone and the phone does not recognize the library there.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a wiped or new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. Your Garageband creations are obviously not iTunes Store purchases and should be restored from the backup you make for just this kind of situation.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

I created garage band songs and they syched gray instead of black and won't play on touch

I write songs and made a garage band version via audacity. When I synched the songs to my touch from iTunes, they were 'gray' in color, not black, as normal and will not play on the touch. The only difference between these and previous songs is the use of garage band for the music. Help!!!

Do they play in iTunes? If so:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I just transferred my garage band songs from my iphone to my mac. Why won't garage band open them? I just upgraded to ilife '11. Still won't work. Garage Band cannot open files in the "data" format.. Any Ideas?

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

Garage Band won't work with Yamaha P250 Keyboard???? -- Help!!

I have a Yamaha P250 stage piano keyboard that I would like to be able to play and record into tracks on Garage Band with my MacBook Pro. The Tools software that came with the Yamaha P250 doesn't support the OS X 10.4.6 of the MacBook Pro. I downloaded free software from Yamaha: Generic USB driver- v1.0.1 (.SIT, 124 Kb, MAC OS X). But when I hook up the USB connection and try to record, --- nothing. My Mac does not register any input on "line-in" in the Apple system preferences.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Could it be there is something very simple I need to adjust? Do I need a different driver? Is it possible that Garage Band just can't work with the Yamaha P250?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Actually, I got a very helpful message from Yamaha directing me to a site that lists additional drivers. For a Yamaha P250 you have to go to the following website and then download USB-MIDI Driver for Mac OS X um110mx.zip. Here's the website:

I did this and it works just fine!

Importing Garage Band recorded tracks onto Logic Pro 9 projects...

Hi, What I am wondering is, can I use the Garage Band on my Mac Air to record tracks and then import them onto Logic Pro 9 projects that I am currently working on? I have a MacAir which I like for the the portability factor, and then do Logic Pro 9 on my iMac at home. Will this work for recording tracks of real instruments such as bass guitars or acoustic ones via an UBS interface and my MacAir? And then be able to import them onto Logic Pro 9... Im wondering if there will be a big sacrifice of quality or incompatibility issues?

Yes, I use it over WiFi and while it may not be as fast as manual copying via an external disk or thumbdrive (depending on the speed of your WiFi and the size of the fles involved), it can be a lot more convenient... and it is very simple to achieve.
To answer your other question
There are two types of compression.. Lossless and lossy....
If you simply zip up your projects before sending you won't lose any quality.. as doing so doesn't affect the quality of any samples.. (ie this would be lossless compression)

Trouble loading Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Garage Band onto my new iPad Air

I received my iPad Air on Tuesday. Since then, I have been trying to load all the apps I had on my original iPad. So far, everything loaded quickly and successfully, except for my Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Garage Band (which will be new to me). Over 36 hours of trying to get these much-used apps loaded, I am at a loss of what to do. I have tried rebooting the iPad, refreshing the load by touching the icon, deleting the app and trying to reload. Nothing is working. I appreciate any insight into getting my apps loaded.

Try this:

Please can someone help me with a problem I'm having with my garage band app?
Not to long ago I was using my garage Band app and I was making some songs when all of a sudden it closed on me I was so mad because I was in the middle of making a song so I never got to save it , so I continued to try to open the app again but now all it does is it seems to get ready to open but then it shuts off without even opening . I went to trouble shooting and have done everything except for uninstalling the app reason why is I'm afraid of all my work on there will be deleted and I won't be able to get it back.
I only know just a little about iPads mine is and ipad2 and I need someone's help is there a way for me to fix this without erasing the work I've done on there. And or should I just wait for garage band to have an update on the App Store and update it without deleting it? Please I don't now what to do.
If someone could walk me through what is wrong what I need to do and how etc.
thank you
Your fellow apple customer
Simachyahi .

I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
I really hope I don't have to erase it.
It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
Thank you

How do i make a DATA file in garage band

ok here is what im trying to do. i need to make a DATA file in garage band and i need to make it possible for the DATA file to be used on Pro Tools so the song can be mixed and mastered. any tips on how to do this?
LISA

What I assume you are trying to do is export a MIDI file. GarageBand does not do this, and I don't know of any add-ons which allow it (MidiO allows you to play out MIDI to an external device so you might be able to route this to ProTools). Of course if you do this you won't be using the instruments which are in GB, and the results you get will depend on what you have available in ProTools.
However you can export GarageBand tracks as audio and them mix them in another program. I do this in Cubase LE because its mixing facilities are way better than GarageBand's. This note will tell you how to do it, just substitute ProTools for Cubase:

Recording a class of 30 kids singing to a guitar track I laid down on Garage Band. Severe distortion because they have to hear the guitar track through a set of speakers..

I had a big setback today on a project I've been working on. I recently made my first recording of my own playing and singing, a guitar track and a vocal track of a children's song. When I recorded the guitar track, it took me a whole day to get it right. I used the metronome through earbuds. Then I listened to the guitar track and sang into a Snowball mike to get the vocal track down. Played separately or together, they came out crisp, clear, no dostortion. I made a CD of the song by sending the song to iTuines, with and without my voice so the children could practice to it. I taught the song to 30 fifth graders so I could add a vocal track of them singing. My plan is to use it as the music for a slideshow I'm making for their elementary graduation. I'm a mom, not their teacher. The teachers of the two classrooms have been generous in letting me teach the kids the song, and setting up 45 minutes for me to record it. Did the recording of the kids today at the school. Two tracks of all 30 kids doing their very best to cooperate. They sang well. I opened the garage Band file at home and it is such poor quality audio that it is UNUSABLE. There's a lot of fuzz and distortion. I can probably get their teachers to let me have them again to give it another try, but I better get it right. When I recorded my own voice to the guitar track, I monitored using earbuds. I can't hook 30 kids up to my Macbook with earbuds. I played the guitar track from speakers and held the microphone out toward them, so the mike was between the speakers and the kids. The speakers and mike both faced the kids. They sang really well, so it was pretty disappointing to find the recording sounded so bad. My guitar teacher tried to help me figure out what to do, but he thinks it is going to be very tricky to get it right since the kids have to hear the guitar track to sing it. I'm considering playing the CD I made of the guitar track from a boom box behind the kids and just recording the kids on a separate project file and losing the ability to edit, and probably losing most of the guitar quality and volume. But I won't know if it works until I have 30 kids and 2 teachers and all my gear set up to actually try it. Whatever I do, it has to work on my next try. There's very little time left and no budget. I thought my Macbook Pro and the Snowball, purchased at the Apple Store, would be enough.
Please advise. Thanks.

Very difficult recording situation. I would probably just record the kids with you playing live guitar.
You could do the boombox with the kids and set it up so the kids hear the guitar but try to get as little as possible of the prerecord guitar on the the track. Then either mix the kids recording with the original guitar track or add a guitar track to the kids track later.
When you do the recording of the kids bring headphones to monitor levels. Also make sure you're happy with the track before you leave the school.
