Open Mac garageband files on an iPad

I have a friend who owns an iPad. I use a MacBook Pro. When I give him my Garageband file ihe can't open it on the iPad. What's up? I gotta believe all Garagebands can share files, right? They're the same program.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

    How do I open a GarageBand file that was emailed to me?
    I have GarageBand...I just can't figure out how to get it to GarageBand from my yahoo email.

    I guess that is my problem...because I can't figure out how to save it. I forgot to mention that I'm using and iPad2 and not a pc or workstation. Thanks for the suggestion Christoph! Anyone know how I can save a garageband attachment from yahoo email to an iPad?

  • Opening Ipad2 Garageband files in Logic

    Hello, bought an Ipad2 a few weeks ago to make music with. I was hoping that I would be able to transfer garage band files from Ipad to Logic on my Imac. Sadly it's not working I just get the following message (CAN'T LOAD PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS CREATED BY A NEWER LOGIC EXPRESS VERSION).
    I'm running Logic Express 8.0.2, I assume if I bye the Logic 9 express upgrade it should open the garageband files. Has anybody tried this ? does it work ?
    I'd also like to know the best way to connect the ipad2 to Imac so I can play/recored audio or midi into Logic. I've been looking at the iRig Midi but I'm starting to wonder if the Alesis IO would be a better choice. Anybody using these devies and can offer some feed back ?
    Thanks for any information
    Andrew

    How can I open an excel file on my ipad from dropbox using numbers?

    You are asking about Numbers for iOS in a forum dedicated to Numbers for OS X.
    As most of us aren’t using this app, it would be more efficient to ask in the dedicated forum (link below).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad).

    Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad) sent from an email. I get this message: "the document can't be opened because it contains cells outside the boundaries of Numbers"...what this means?

    If you have Numbers for the iPad, that will be one of the options to open in (besides, or from, Quick Look) if you don't have one of the PDF  / printing apps. Numbers handles Excel files quite nicely on the iPad, in my experience--one more reason to have it.
    One reason I like the Save2PDF app is that it gives me lots of options on the iPad for how I want to save or process email attachments.

  • Ho do I open a wmv file on my iPad?

    What do I need to open a wmv. file I receive in an e-mail on my iPad?

    Look for a wmv player app in the app store. I can't recommend a specific one because I've not used them, but I can just suggest search for .wmv, read reviews and make a choice. Once you install that you should be able to open that video.

  • Issue Opening MAC Zip file on PC

    When i create an Archive of files (Zip File) on my Mac and send it to certain PC users, they come back telling me it says it's ZERO KBs when they unzip it.
    Which is weird, because all the PCs we have in the office can open the Mac Zip files fine.
    I thought it was because their winzip thing was out of date, but they are all telling me they are up to date.
    Again, this is only happening to a select few PC users, most PC users i'm sending it to can open it fine.
    Anyone have any advice on this or why it is happening to these certain PC users?
    Thanks

    Select "Attachments" in Mail's "Edit" menu and set "Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments". If that isn't set, a Mac file may be sent in two pieces; the resource fork (often zero bytes), and the data fork. The PC users may be using different mail programs, and some are just seeing the resource fork. The data fork is probably there somewhere if they know how to get to it. The resource fork isn't needed for anything you would send to a PC.

  • Cannot open iOS garageband files on Mac

    Read various threads; I have GB 2.0.6 on iOS (8.1.3, iPad 2) and OSX 10.0.3 on Mac (Yosemite) with iCloud installed and working mostly.
    I can upload files from iOS GB, and their icons get a tiny cloud sigil, but I can't find them on iCloud website or locallly. There is no GB folder.
    I set up iTunes to File-share GB, and I've shared several files. They show up in iTunes Apps>File Sharing>Garageband Documents, but again I can't find them or export them from iTunes.
    In GB/Mac File>iCloud>Import GarageBand for iOS Song shows a window which says "No Songs"
    Any Suggestions?

    I can upload files from iOS GB, and their icons get a tiny cloud sigil, but I can't find them on iCloud website or locallly. There is no GB folder.
    That is how it is supposed to be, unfortunately.
    GarageBand 10 accesses the GarageBand iOS files, that you share to iCloud, differently. They are not (yet) visible on iCloud Drive.
    Use the File > iCloud menu in GarageBand 10 to access the GarageBand for iOS files.
    See this Help page to share your GarageBand iOS songs to iCloud:  http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chsdfe5c2c2

  • Can't open old garageband files (2006) on my new mac (ios 10.7)

    Thanks for helping me!

  • "...not a valid Photoshop document" error when opening Mac cc file on PC

    I get a "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." error message whenever I try to open up a PSD file created on a Mac using Photoshop CC on my PC using CC. Other people have been able to open the file from the same location, so the files aren't corrupted. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
    The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
    Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
    SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

  • Is there a product of plugin I can get that will allow me to open Mac-Quark files in PC_InDesign 5.5

    I need to open another designer's files. She owrks on a Mac in QuarkXpress. I work on a pc and use Indesign. Is there any way to open the files? Everytihng I find on my own requires that I also have Quark on my system, and I do not have it. also, I am not sure what version of Quark she worked in.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Peter. I did try opening the files already, but it did not work. When I sought help from Adobe, the tutorials suggested that I had to have Quark on my system.  I think that the files must be a different version than 3 or 4.
