Lost garageband 4.1.2

I had to reinstall one of my MacBook Pro's completely from scratch due to a student getting into some files. Garageband did not reinstall with other applications. I am running 10.5.8. I've tried to download it from the internet but keep getting files that say it's missing the necessary /application file. Not sure how to fix this. I really need this for my class. Thanks!

It might be a PPC application. You may need the optional Rosetta install.

  • Has anyone else lost Garageband in Yosemite Update?

    I recently seemed to have lost Garageband in recent update. Garageband came with ilife 09' when I purchased my macbook. It's something I always had and enjoyed using. Now all of a sudden it's gone along with iphoto and the rest of my ilife apps. Please help!

    You can redownload it from your Purchases page of the App Store provided you first purchased it there. If not, then you can restore it from the DVD that came with your iLife boxed set.
    Upgrading iPhoto
    Requires a Paid Upgrade to iPhoto 9.6
         iPhoto 5-8.x.x
    Qualifies for a Free Upgrade to iPhoto 9.6
         iPhoto 9.0-9.5.1
    If you see your version of iPhoto with a gray prohibitory icon, then it is incompatible with Yosemite unless upgraded.

    Custom Install GB directly from the system DVD #1 that originally came w/your computer.  Follow the onscreen custom install instructions.  GB is either inside the Bundled Software or Applications folder.

  • Lost Garageband and other apps when hardrive was replaced. How can I get them back?

    I lost a few mac apps when I had to have my harddrive replaced..........since it went out and it was under a factory recall. And when they replaced it they couldn't get everything off the hard-drive. So is there a way I can get the apps back.

    There are several ways to get those iLife and other App's from your original Disc Set.
    1. May or may not be an option, but at least get an estimate to replace your Optical SuperDrive from the local Apple Store or AASP.
    > Apple - Find Locations
    2. Buy a Mac compatible External DVD Drive.

  • Recovering lost GarageBand files from failed external backup hard disk

    For years, I've used SuperDuper's "Back-up - All files" function to regularly backup my computer's hard disk to an external firewire hard disk. On the day I initialized my computer's hard disk to install Leopard, wouldn't you just know, my external hard disk failed. I immediately stopped using it. I've used Data Rescue II on this external hard disk but can't find my GarageBand files. These were in a hard disk subfolder, not in the GarageBand folder or in the User > Music folder. I'm trying to find eight "projects" (some are GarageBand 2 files, others are GarageBand 2008 files), each of which including a voice recording (found a few of those, .aiff files) and software instrument tracks (some imports from Band-in-a-Box, which also can't be found -- but that's for a different forum). First off, what am I looking for, what would those files look like? Data Rescue II's Fast Scan doesn't see any .band file. Searching by name, using a part of the song's name, doesn't bring up anything. This doesn't seem entirely trustworthy as lyrics files using the same name (.doc files) were later found. I've only found two threads related to this on the Web, and they seem to indicate that DRII would be unable to rescue "packaged" files, which my guru husband says is nonsense. So I'm back to the original question: what is it I should be looking for on the external hard disk? Any suggestion gratefully received.

    This is for people who would come to this thread searching an answer for the same kind of problem. I had much better success with FileSalvage. I was able to find the majority of my GarageBand files, with MIDI tracks. Audio tracks were not always included but could be found among .aif files. I have not yet searched for the Band-in-a-Box files.

  • I lost garageband from my computer. how do i get it back?

    accidentally removed Garageband from my dock and now its now where to be found on my comp. I got my mac back in 06 and i dont know if it came with an iLife disk... So what do i do?

    Removing the icon from the Dock doesn't remove the application. Look in your Applications folder. You can drag the icon to the Dock if you want the option of opening it from there.

  • Lost GarageBand songs...

    I had recently gotten a new MacBook Pro and had created about 5 songs on it. I then wanted to transfer previously created songs from my iMac to my new laptop. At first the transfer didn't go through and I had called Apple Help. The guy on the help line took me step by step through the process of correctly adding the songs from GarageBand to the flash drive (apparently I had done it wrong). I then put the flash drive in my computer and dragged the songs to the open "Recent Projects" window in GarageBand like the Apple helper had told me too. Then, after opening up, playing, and saving the songs, I clicked out of GarageBand. I went back in to GarageBand later to find that there were no songs. Not even in "Recent Projects." I searched the hard drive and found no GarageBand files either. This was all about 2 days ago. I went back on to GarageBand to check to make sure it wasn't just a glitch today and the songs were still gone. I'm starting to get worried that all my hard work has gone to waste. Has anyone ever had this problem before? Does anyone know something I could do to possibly get the songs back and solve it? Thanks so much for taking the time to read!

    They are probably still on your flash drive. It does not sound like you copied them from the flash drive to your computer, you only opened them from within GarageBand from the flash drive where they were stored.
    Put the flash drive back in your computer, and copy the project files from the flash drive to anywhere on your hard drive you want. The default location is usually ~/Music/GarageBand. Once the project files are copied here, you'll be able to open, modify, save them, etc., and they'll now "live" on your internal hard drive.

  • Iphoto, imovie, iweb missing after mountain lion upgrade...

    I have a mid 2010 iMac that I have kept up to date and recently upgraded to Mountian Lion.  Everything has been fine except that I noticed that iLife was missing right after the update...  And I didn't purchase it in the app store because it came with my iMac.  In fact, the iMac came with Snow Leopard on it I think. But I haven't the slightest idea where that disk is because we lost a few things that I haven't located yet in our move last year.  I have another copy of Snow Leopard that I goes to my 2009 MacBook that I already had.  It seems quite frustrating that the programs just disappeared and they've never done that before on any other upgrade!  I have no need to purchase and upgrade to iLife 11 as I only use iPhoto and iMovie for iPhone photos/video because I have everything else in LightRoom already.  But I would like iPhoto/iMovie back!  How do I go about doing this?  Can i use my backup to get it back somehow?  Just confused on how to tget it back and my searches yielded very little...  Thanks!

    sorry...  i meant '09 version...  I just knew it wasn't '11 (assumed '09) because I haven't upgraded to the '11 versions.  I said iLife because I lost all 3-iphoto, iweb and imovie.  Well, I see that iweb isn't a part of '11 and is going away and i am just now seeing that.  And noticing that I lost GarageBand in addition (i just don't use it to notice it was also missing after the upgrade). 
    And again, they all came installed on my computer, not from me purchasing it via app store.  Technically I guess it wasn't a part of the OS, I just meant that it came with the imac and was part of my imac purchase.  I only remember having an install disk (not a seperate ilife disk) that came with my imac but i am unable to find any of it because of a move (and haven't located the disks that came with the 2010 iMac).  Again, I have the snow leopard os upgrade disk that I purchased (prior to buying my imac in 2010) that I bought to upgrade my 2009 MacBook Pro.  But again, it isn't the SL install disk that came with the 2010 iMac (which is the computer we are discussing here)  However, my 2009 MacBookPro was upgraded to ML right after I upgraded the iMac on the same exact dayand I DID NOT lose iphoto, iweb, imovie and garageband on that MacBook Pro.  And it was the 09' also because I had not upgraded either computer to '11 version.  So, the programs went missing on the imac upgrade only, and not the macbook-so there has to be a reason why...  I did not mean that iLife came with an OS Upgrade -only that it came with all purchased apple computers. sorry! 
    Sberman-I will try to load the iphoto link that you gave above and see if it restores the iphoto and my catalog, etc. Someone I know suggested that it's all still there - but i am just missing the iphoto programs (and other programs) for some reason and all should be restored once it's reloaded. 

  • My Garageband project crashed, the file lost/damaged! How to recover it?

    Guys,
    I've been working my garageband project when suddenly the window was closed and the notification asked me to reopen, report or ignore it.
    This is my second time my project crashed. The first time, I chose 'reopen', and my file reopen. All the midi datas still there, but the sample sounds were empty. So I had to put it one by one. What a job because I had more than 15 instruments there.
    But those jobs was better then what I experienced today. After my project crashed, I chose 'ignore' with assumption I would open the last saved file. But it didn't. I really lost my file. The size for one GarageBand projects is about more than 1 MB. But my file after crashed is about 56 KB! So some solutions like 'right click' and 'show package content' didn't work at all because I worked with midi data, not live recording. I tried to find the script file at projectdata and compared it with my other projects, they have more bytes than my lost project file.
    So, if you have a same problem like me, just choose 'reopen'. I hope it will save your midi data so you don't have to work it out from beginning (just like I have to do after write this post ... x) )
    So guys, is there any idea how to recover my crashed file? I've sent a report to Apple and still waiting their answer.
    Thanks a lot

    Reinstalling iTunes won't ever repair damaged libraries or find lost files.
    Unlike nearly all Windows software double-clicking an iTunes Library file does not necessarily open the selected database. Rather, iTunes opens the last database it successfully opened, or if that was in the "normal" <User's Music>\iTunes location, but is missing, it will create a new empty library.
    You can open an alternate library file, or create a new one, by holding down shift as you start iTunes. Although you can open the library files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder this way, your library will perform better if you restore the archived library database to the main iTunes folder in the way that I have described.
    Your most recent library may be present in the main iTunes folder as a .tmp file, or recoverable via a file undelete tool, however either of these files, if found, may be partially corrupt getting you no further forward.
    The two most recent releases of iTunes were June 11th and March 28th 2012..
    Yes I read your post, but I don't know if you know all of the above. If you had a full backup of your library you could just restore that. It is possible that what you've tried so far hasn't yet brought back the most complete version of your library that is available to you. As a last resort you will have to work with what you have and add in whatever media is not in that version of your library, accepting the loss of recently added ratings, playlists & play counts.
    You can simply add the entire iTunes Media folder using File > Add Folder to Library folder which should ignore everything already in the library and only add new (to that database) stuff. If there is any chance that your iTunes media folder contains .m3u playlist files the import process will also import all of those, which may not be what you want. iTunes Folder Watch would then present a better approach.

  • Lost my garageband in a mishap

    Hi-
    I've got one of the infamous "freezing" iMacs. Finally had to erase & restore my data backup didn't backup so well and I cannot get Garageband to work. I keep getting an error on initialization that states Garageband expects a valid instrument library folder in / Library/Application Support/Garageband. I can't find anything that looks like that. I was able to download the 4.1 update but I need the original download. Where would I find that. I have upgraded to OSX 10.4.10.
    Thanks-
    Dave

    No.

  • I did a clean re-install of OSX Mountain Lion...lost iPhoto, garageband.... how do I get it back?

    I just perform a clean reinstall of my OSX, everything went well, however, I just realized that i Lost the iPhoto and garageband app. How do I get it back? Please advise.

    You should know that OS X hasn't got iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand preinstalled, so you have to install them manually after reinstalling OS X.
    If your Mac didn't come with DVDs or you purchased those apps in the App Store, open App Store > Purchases, and download iPhoto and GarageBand.
    If your Mac came with DVDs or you didn't purchase those apps in the App Store, insert the Applications DVD or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 that came with your Mac, and install iLife applications. Then, open  > Software Update to install the latest version
