Memory to run garage band?

does anyone know how much memory it takes to run garage band? say if your recording live using all 8 tracks?

Anything under a Gigabyte will make the program rather slow, under 500 MB is a no-no.

An Apple that runs garage band?

What is the cheapest Apple laptop (it can be an old laptop that I could buy off of ebay or something like that) that comes with/can run Garage Band? I am 16 with a budget of about $500 and I currently have a PC, which does not run Garage Band. The main purpose of the laptop would be for creating music as well as basic typing documents and the internet. Thanks for your help!
icky PC Windows 2000

I would say _at a minimum_ you'd want a 1Gc machine with at least 1GB of RAM.
If you don't need the portability of a laptop, you'll be able to get a lot more out of something like this mac mini, and if your PC has a USB keyboard, you can use the Keyboard and monitor from that.
GB will run on older hardware, but you'll run into limits quicker.
Just a suggestion. ~~HangTime V1.9.9.9.7 [Will Compute for Food] B-)>

Ibook g3 panther run Garage band??

does the ibook g3 run garage band with 10.3 panther installed? thanks

dannyboy6188, Welcome to the discussion area!
This is the iBook G4 discussion area. Since you have an iBook G3 you really should ask any future questions there.
The original Garage Band would run on a 600 MHz G3 CPU but a G4 or faster was required for software instruments.
The current iLife 09 requires a G4 processor.

Can I run garage band and I photo with 10.6.8

Can I use garage band from osx10.5 and I photo, when I have upgraded to snow leopard 10.6.8 . Or do I just need to move on. Thanks

Try to update them, running software update.
If they don't work you will need to buy iLife '11(OLD VERSION) to work with 10.6.8 from Amazon.
As seventy one mentions, run the update to 10.6.8 before trying to update iLife, there are updates that will need to loaded, if I remember correctly,there are GB updates, as well as iPhoto updates. keeep running software update till there is nothing left to update.
Hey seventy one, looks like they are'nt mesing with you today:-)
Your post popped up just before I hit apply.
Have a good one.

Can i share garage band between 2 ipad 2s in the same household?

Until now, I've been able to share apps between multiple ipads/iphoness/ipod touch within our household all linked to the same Apple account. I haven't been able to do that with the iPad 2. For instance, I'd like to run garage band on 2 iPad 2s. Do I have to buy it twice?

If both iPads are linked to the same account, you should be able to.

Why doesn't Garage Band Make any sound anymore?

I recently installed Pro Tools to my Mac Mini and it works great but now when I try to run Garage band this what it says:
"GarageBand has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers.
(Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.)"
I don't know what that means. All I know is that my Axiom 49 keyboard worked with Garage Band the day before yesterday and now it doesn't. How can I fix this without having to uninstall pro tools
Please help.

Look into your midi driver folder (HD/Library/Audio/Midi Drivers) and see what's in there. Try to at least temporarily move the files somewhere else and see if GB starts up without making a fuss!

Wrong MIDI signals in Garage Band

I bought a cheap MIDI to USB cable from eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170884868173 and connected my piano to my Macbook Air running Garage Band. It works when playing separate notes, but chords seem to play partially, not at all, or keys are played once I release them.
Here's an example from MIDI monitor (playing a C chord, then releasing):

Could this be the work of a dodgy cable? Or is there some other settings I should be looking at?

As suspected, it was the cable.
Bought Roland UM-One Mk2 USB MIDI Interface and works 100% fine.

Error in Garage Band

Several times lately, as I've been editing a fairly large sound file (30 minute Podcast) in Garage Band, the program has flashed an error message that I can't quote exactly, but that said something about "core memory." When Garage Band presents this error message, it then scrolls through the entire podcast in real time before it will let me do anything to actually edit or change the file in any way. Does anyone know why this would be happening? Many thanks for any insight you can provide.
Powerbook G4 867 Mac OS X (10.4.2) 640 MB RAM

Without knowing what the error message, is, not really, no.

Garage band errors

I am running Garage Band 11. I am making voice recordings that last about an hour. It took over an hour to save the last recording. I am sending/saving the recording to the desktop. Occasionally, I get and errror code. Today I got an error code 39

assuming you meant a -39, that's an EoF error (End of File), which means the file is likely damaged.
if you're seeing these often, you may want to run some kind of disk repair utility (you can start with Apple's Disk Utility, though it doesn't do nearly as much as other third party software)

Is there a way to get a version of the Garage Band app that runs on version 5.1.1? I have an iPad 1 and can't get any higher iOS. The App store is telling me that Garage Band only runs on iOS 7.

Unfortunately the answer is still no.

I use only two channels, have plenty of memory in my hard disk, and external hard drive, no effects, and still having problems with Garage band. Giving messages as you have too many live channels

I'm frustrated, I am doing everything you recommend, I use only two channels, have plenty of memory in my hard disk, and external hard drive, no effects, and still having problems with Garage band. Giving messages as you ave too many live channels, the disk is slow prepare...can you help?

tornado2003,
What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
i guess you missed that:

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Garage Band '11. This error happens occasionally : I am forced to power-off-on. Pop-up states that error info will be sent to apple. I never hear back from apple. Second prob: Fan sometimes comes on, runs high speed, then slowly stops.

Garage Band '11: pop-up error forces me to power off-on. Message states that info will be sent to Apple.
I never hear back from anyone about this.
Second prob: Fan sometimes comes on, runs high speed, then slowly runs down and stops running.

First thing to do is a SMC Reset, you can find instructions at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!!
Then try Repairing Disk Permissions, do this at least 2x. You will find this in Disk Utility which is located in Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility.
Finally you may need to uninstall Garage Band and reinstall. You may have to use Pacifist to do this, you can find it at:
