Sharing GarageBand iOS in iPad music class

iOS apps and devices were conceived as individual tools, but I'm using GarageBand in a classroom full of students with iPads. I want to be able to share GarageBand files with students so that they can add/modify/edit them and send them back to me. This would be invaluable for creating learning/assessment tracks for vocal and instrumental performers. Cloud based storage is there...but seems to be designed for me to share my files between my personal devices - not device to device (person to person). Can this be done? If not, could this functionality be added in an upcoming update? Think of it as GarageBand "Jam Session" with more opportunity for long-term extension and sharing of creative ideas.

That's it! I had already tried emailing it to myself but on iPad mail the file would just open to a playback bar. But if I held down the attachment a little longer, the "open in" window appeared, and on of the choices is Amazing Slow Downer.

IOS 7: iPad Music Album Bug

I just recently updated my iPad to iOS 7. I love it so far. However I am having an issue that is really frustrating me. I have noticed that a few of my albums aren't being sorted by their track number and so several of them are disorganized. I have several albums that are complilations mostly soundtracks to movies that have different artists. I am noticing that quite a bit of them not being sorted in order of the track but by the order of the artist. It is really annoying me and I can't think of any way to fix this. This problem isn't on my iPod which also has iOS 7 just my iPad. Most of the albums that are messed up are complilation albums that have various artists so they don't have a main album artist. Also, I have noticed that when I am in the album tab all the album on my iPad all the albums are sorted by the artist not the album title. So the first album that appears on my iPad is an a-ha album not Nick Cave's Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. In iOS 6 there was an option to sort albums by their title or by artist but there isn't in iOS 7. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I know it sounds a little confusing.
Albums are sorted by the album title not artist.
Titanic album with tracks in order.
See how albums are sorted by the artist unlike on my iPod by the album title itself.
Songs aren't in order by track. Ugh.

I'm in complete agreement that the Albums view on the iPad for iOS 7 is in need of serious rehab; i.e., the single criteria for ordering the Albums view should be the album name. Compilations, various artists, unknown artists, etc. are extraneous attributes.
iTunes itself proves out this point in the Albums view of iTunes 11 with the movie soundtrack, "The Insider." In the Albums view of iTunes 11, this album appears alphabetically within the I's. The album artist is blank, and each song displays the artist performing that song. No songs are unattributed to a specific artist.
On my iPad with iOS 7, the Albums view supposedly sorts by artist first. However "The Insider" appears at the top of the albums list with Unknown Artist in the center column.* Two issues are exposed in this result: Albums should be sorted by album name even if the iPad's Music app has not duplicated the "Various Artists" tag or doesn't have logic to sort Compilations. At the very least, albums with Unknown Artist should appear in the U's alphabetically.
Finally, in any view displaying tracks for a single album, the track listing should remain in tact numerically and the artist of the track should be displayed as in iTunes 11 on the Mac. Instead, the Artist view of, "The Insider" displays the following, and this album cannot be played in track order because the tracks are not sorted numerically in any view:

How to delete child appleid from family sharing on ios 8 ipad

I have two apple ids for one child in Family Sharing. How do I delete one?

I have the same question. I'm about sick of reading people referring me to the above link that King refers to. Primarily becuase it does NOT address the question at hand. That question is "How do you delete a child Apple ID?". I know I've seen that you can not remove adult ones, but apple does not you "can" do it, but doesn't show "how" to do it. In my personal case, I need to delete the one I made and create a new one. This is because having an incorrect child apple ID in my family share takes 1 spot away from my sharing. I need to remove the child ID from my share plan to create a corrected apple ID for her. The above linke King posted states,
"Children under 13 can't be removed from a family. If you need to, you can transfer the child to another family or delete their apple ID." Now..the phrase "child to another family" is hyperlinked and clearly shows how to do this. But the "delete their apple ID" is NOT hyperlinked. So we continue to search for our original answer that I haven't found since iOS 8 was released and I bought my iphone 6 on release day.
Now on that topic, the family share is messed up HARD for children. Heres why, while I wait to find out how to delete the incorrectly typed apple ID I made, I tested how it works for my 6 y/o, who was very excited to get her own iphone 5 (w/o cell cervice, glorified itouch).
1.) While testing it out with the bad ID, I created the family share as the ogranizer. I then added my wife and made her a Parent/Guardian". Howver, despite this, when the "child" ID requests permission to purchase something in itunes, it only sends it to my wife and not me. This shoudl go to both parents! If you want one or the other, make a setting. Otherwise, if its flagged as an organizer or parent, they should have the power. After all, as the organizer, she was verified as MY child through my credit card but I can't authorize the purchase as the organizer. Do what? Come on!
2.) When my daughter asks to buy something, she has to put in a password. This is simply nuts. My 6 y/o needs to put in a password for PERMISSION to ask her parents to buy something. Of which the parents then authorizes the purchase via either a password or fingerprint scan. What non-parent thought this up?
3.) To update an app on my daughters iphone requires her to request permission for each and every app, despite there being an update all. This means, she has to put the password in on every...single...update...individually. Update all does not work. This means we need to authorize each update too...My God...really?
4.) On the topic of passwords. Again, CHILD account ID. Apple requires passwords to be 8 characters, has to have an upper and lower case, can't be a simple word, has to have a number. I mean..lets sit and think about this. a CHILD with such a complex password needing to be entered each time to update an individual app and ask permisison. If its a child, it means the responsibility should be put on the parent. Have the OS route the request to ME and let me put the password in for my child.
5.) Whats the point of Auto Update? I mean, if I APPROVED these apps to go on my daughters phone, then it should AUTO UPDATE itself! It does not! Really?
6.) How can apple advise in the FAQ's to delet the apple child ID but doesn't hyper link to it? Is someone really that dense? It sure scares the DEATH out of me to try apple PAY! >.<
7.) As I sit here looking at my family share settings, this very second, and I look at my daughters ID in there (the incorrect one I need to fix), there is nice itty bitty language on how to transfer an apple ID and a hyperlink there. This is a GREAT spot for DELETE APPLE ID! You know, I even logged into apples main management Apple ID section...you can't even delete the ID there either.
8.) The WHOLE point of the family share is so you can share up to 6 people. BUT, if you try to download prior purchases on the new account's, you get an error message saying that this was previously purchased BUT you are unable to download it (For what ever reason) on every one. Thank GOD I realized I can manually FORCE the crap onto her phone by pushing it from my desktop computer to hers.
I mean...how can a "high tech" company be so obtuse? If you can't get CHILDREN policy right, how will your Apple Pay policy work out?
Sincerely,
A very disgruntled parent!

Sharing Garageband project from ipad to ipad

Hello
i want to share a garageband project from an ipad to another one, but when saving it from itunes to my computer, it is stored in folders. If i send the folders to another computer, it is not possible to import these folders using the itunes, (so the project would go straight to the garageband ipad app)
Is there any other way to share it from an ipad to another??
thx
PS: im using itunes for windows

When transferring projects there are several ways to do this. If you talking about transferring a project that when loaded from the other person they get all your settings as you see it on your iPad. Ie. tracks that we're recorded, reverba nd delay choice and settings, instruments used ect... Then NO. What you can do is simply email the track or song to the other person. When they receive the email they can open it and save the audio files in garagebands and it shows up in the iPad GarageBand apple loops folder which then you drag and drop them into your project. You can also open the email audio right from within your iPad if you have Daw Multitrack or MusicStudio App for iPad then you simply hold down the song icon in your email for a few seconds and the option to open the file comes up by these two apps. Simply select the app to open it, copy to the pasteboard and that audio is now available throughout all you audio apps that support pasteboard copy which is pretty much all of them. To paste in GarageBand simply choose an empty track make sure you select the microphone, make the bar count set to auto, set the tempo to the songs tempo, set the key signature to match the song and touch the blank track and you will see paste, touch paste and whatever was in the pasteboard at the time will be pasted into your project. If someone wants to see an exact duplicit of what you are seeing then send them a note or text with the setting since there is only 8 tracks and just a few minor FX setting they should be looking at what you are fairly quickly. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays.

How can I get the music from garageband on my Ipad to my garageband on my mac

How can I get the music from garageband on my Ipad to my garageband on my mac

You want to uses iOS file sharing with iTunes on the Mac. Read about it here.
http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387

How do I consolidate all this at this point: Icloud Drive, Itunes Match, Local iTunes Library, Local iPhoto, Local Aperture, Photo stream, Familly sharing, sharing on iOS, music sharing on iOS, music sharing on mac etc.

I am trying to grasp all the possibilities for consolidating my stuff and my family's stuff from multiple devices and multiple accounts from multiple sources but I cant.
I have been reading many instructions and FAQ regarding iCloud Drive, iCloud Sharing, iTunes Match, Familly Sharing, file size limitations on iCloud Drive, app sharing on iOS, Backup vs Sync vs cloud sharing, storing iWork documents on iCloud drive, storing iTunes library on iCloud Drive, storing iPhoto library on iCloud Drive, storing Aperture library on the iCloud, the Photos app on iOS with iCloud and many others.... but I feel like I need a systems admin course from apple to manage all of it.
This is what I and my family currently have:
Hardware: Multiple iPhones, Multiple Macs, Apple TV (with hard drive), Multiple iPads.
Operating systems: Everything is upgraded to the latest iOS and Yosemite.
Libraries:
1) Multiple iTunes Libraries locally stored on Macs and IPhones with lossless CD music and iTunes purchased music. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared iTunes library across ALL devices that contains our Lossless music and purchased music. so that it can be played across ALL devices. With the ability to have private music for each individual (Not shared).
b) Purchase new music and add it to the family share or purchase music and make it private (Not shared).
2) Multiple iPhoto Libraries macs (With photo stream from iPhones) and ONE Aperture Library on my mac. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared photo library that every one can deposit to and view.
b) Store individual iPhoto libraries on iCloud Drive(s)? So that everyone can have their own library and edit it across THEIR devices.
c) Store and use my Aperture Library on iCloud Drive?
Other documents:
iWork files, PDFs etc. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared area (on iCloud Drive i suppose) where we can share documents.
b) Sync private documents across ALL individuals devices (Available locally and on iCloud).
c) Store private documents (One instance) on iCloud drive and make them available on ALL individuals devices.
d) Backup of local documents?
Apps:
iOS apps:
a) Share purchased apps?
b) Not share private apps.
Storage:
What do I purchase to accomplish the above:
a) iCloud storage for everyone?
b) iTunes Match for everyone?
c) All of the above?
Conclusion:
It would be great for Apple to explain all this with all the options in one concise document instead of hunting down individual documents and sections all over the place.
Thank you for your help.

Hey there!
You and I are data soulmates. I have been having this trouble for a while and have yet to get my head around it. Our problem is that we've cycled through multiple macs and the "home" or "host" for all the stuff that's now been moved or moving to the Cloud is very scattered. It drives me crazy... almost to the point where I'm thinking about starting a brand-new iCloud account and beginning from scratch.
If you have any experiences or recommendations you could share about your strategy, I would love to hear it.

Home sharing not working (iOS 6, iPad 3 and iTunes 10.7)

Trying to stream video from iMac to iPad via home sharing no longer works since iOS 6 upgrade. Video app on iPad sees the library but gets stuck connecting to it. Music app says "unable to turn on home sharing".
I've tried restarting iTunes, turning off home sharing (and on again) and rebooting iPad, all to no avail.
Don't want to go to the trouble of downgrading but need this to work!
Poor form to release broken software after making such a song and dance about how great it would be. (See also: Maps).

I had the exact same problem with the iPad Music app. However, the Remote app works fine:

IPad Music app crashes while trying to choose my shared Mac music library

IPad Music app crashes while trying to choose my shared Mac music library. Only a few of the artists show up and if I try a search, the App crashes.

Thanks. This got all of the artists to show up but the music app still crashes when I search the shared music library.

I cannot open GarageBand on my iPad gen. The GB icon steps shaded and is labeled 'pause' or 'waiting'. My iOS 5.1.1 GarageBand ver. 1.2.1'

I cannot open GarageBand on my iPad gen 1. The GB icon stay darkened (shaded) and is labeled 'pause' or 'waiting'. My iOS 5.1.1 GarageBand ver. 1.2.1. Sometimes a dialog box appears and reads, "unable to complete download" and "consider freeing up space, go to settings." Problem is I'm not tying to download GarageBand upgrade because it requires iOS 6 or higher. Does Apple have. Archive sites with older versions of GarageBand?

No, it will still stay as IOS 7.0.4

HT201301 I see some iOS apps in the file sharing list for my iPad device but I do not see the same APP on the file sharing list of my other iOS device

There are some iOS apps appear in the file sharing list of my iPad that does not appear in my iPhone file sharing list. Why is that and why iBook App does not show on the sharing list of my iPad?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

Why can't i get garageband on my ipad 1? What is iOS?

"Have you tried installing GarageBand for iOS from the App Store app on the device?"
This is what eventually worked after a few tries. It took quite a while to download, but it eventually worked.

Co-writing with Garageband for iPad: sharing projects between 2 iPads

Hello, all,
I am hoping somebody can help me achieve what something that it strikes me that Garageband on the iPad should be perfect for, but which I just can't seem to figure out!
I am the guitarist in a band, and hoping to use my iPad to co-write songs with the singer, who lives in another town.
We can't always get together for writing sessions, but, since we both have iPads, I assumed that I could start projects by making some instrumental recordings on my iPad, and then share the project with the singer to add vocals on their iPad, and that they could then send the track back to me for further editing, adding extra parts to, etc.
This seems like it would be a great way to develop songs with a co-writer without having to be in the same room -- but I just can't figure out how to do it!
It seems I can send a sound file to email from my iPad's Garageband, but how would the singer import that file into their iPad's Garageband? Surely it can't be that difficult, but I've read a lot online and there just doesn't seem to be a way to do this.
Any suggestions or advice would be very gratefully received!

Hi Zapruder,
On the 'Help' file on my ipod there'sn a section about uploading the file to SoundCloud. Have you checked it out yet?

Remote app in combination with ipad music app

Hi
Can i stream music from itunes to my ipad with the remote app
In fact i'm looking for an app from which i can remote control itunes on my mac mini
and stream music to my ipad, using the same library or shared library and same app
During music discovery nights with a friend
I want to prelisten to the music with the ipad
And after the correct selection i have to swith to the remote app to play the selected song on my mac mini
I constantly have to switch between remote app and ipad music app
Which is very annoying because
- remote app looses his connection after every switch between the 2 apps
- i then have to go through the complete music library again till i have the track that i wanted to play
- and many more
Also that music app has changed since a while and doesnt offer me the same comfort scrolling through my music
I recently discovered plex and its ios app
In that app we can click on the track we need and it gives me the choice to play it on the mac mini or the ipad
Which is a really cool feature
But, ..., it doesnt have any search possibilities
In every app i tried there is always something missing to make it raeaeaeaellllllyyy eaeaeaeassssyyyyy
Isnt that what technology is supposed to offer us, make ite easy and confortable
Grrrrr
I googled for a while about it
Found no defenitive answers yet

How I wish that the Music App on my iPad could work as fast and as sleek as the Remote App when connecting to my (VERY LARGE) Library.
Even with version 1.0, every time I had to connect to my Library, the response time was just a few seconds before I can see and scroll thru my Albums/Artists/etc (with Album Art and all).
With the Music App, I haven't being able to connect to my shared library since iOS 4.0 :-( And the limited times when successfully connected the response time was JUST awful.
Please 'Remote App Team' have a beer or two with the 'Music App Team' and share your expertise with them!!! I'm begging you!!! Or at least 'tweak' your App so it can stream the music to the iPad, so we can enjoy our shared libraries on it.
Today... After updating to iTunes 11, I ( 've ?) tried to connect the Music App to my Library via Home Sharing without success. So.. Again.. Please Apple, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
Thanks!!!

Tap Songs at bottom
Swipe left or right across the song then tap Delete.

Is GarageBand iOS 2.0.1 compatible with Logic Pro 9.1.8?

I run Logic Pro 9.1.8 on a Mac Pro 1,1 (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and GarageBand 2.0.1/ iOS (7) on the iPad2. The songs are built on the iPad, then opened in Logic on the Mac. This worked like a charm until recently when the iPad was updated w/ the new GB. Used to just click on the ".band" file, exported from the iPad to the Mac via iTunes, and it would open in Logic (the only audio software on the Mac), but now it asks me to save the file instead of opening it. Then when trying to open the newly saved GB version in Logic you either get a blank arrange screen or Logic crashes and says it needs to be updated.
9.1.8 the latest version of Logic Pro 9, so is it asking me to get Logic 10? If so, it would seem that I need a new Mac as mine is 32-bit and Logic 10 is 64-bit.
Does Apple keep the GB and LP versions concurrent? Meaning that the current GarageBand is compatible w/ the current Logic Pro? The least expensive solution might be to go back to the 8 track GB for iOS, but how can I do that? I do not have that purchase on my app store account any more as it was purchased from a different account that I no longer have access to.
I don't ever remember having to first save the file in LP9 and then check a bunch of boxes in the Advanced section when saving it, but this does work to open the old files (8 track version of GB iOS) . So, I tried again w/ the new GB files (16 track version of GB) and Logic crashed again and said the file was "created on a different version of Logic" please update Logic. With no more updates for Logic Pro 9, it wants LP 10? Which I can't do bc of the specs of my computer.
Your thoughts and ideas are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Lee,
Thank you. That is a great work around! Yes, where is 1.x that I paid for? Exactly! That would have helped immensely.
I tried to get Garageband iOS 1.x, but could not. Contacted Apple and they said I could book a service call w/ their technical department for about $30USD! For a $5 app that I already paid for?! Are they serious?! I don't even think (even after the $30) they could have done anything. I know, it was just a poor customer service rep and they are just following protocol. I even thought of trading my iPad to someone who hadn't updated their iOS. Then I should have seen the old GB (compatible w/ the old iOS 1.x) in the app store.
My work around:
- Bought a used 2008 64-bit Mac Pro tower on eBay ($700USD w/ shipping).
- Installed Mavericks and GB (free)
- Paid for Logic X ($200)
My 2007 Mac Pro is for sale on eBay! I won't get all of the $ back, but will get some.
Imported my first GB iOS 2.0.1 into Logic X - it wouldn't open! Yet another download was needed for compatibility. So, I just opened the iOS song in GB on the Mac Tower w/ Mavericks. Saved the file in GB then opened it in Logic X. I did download the 1 billion gigs for compatibility for LPX, but have yet to try it. So long as GB does the job, it only takes a few extra secs.
I now have access to LPX Session drummer, which is pretty cool. Sometimes your original beats can work better for the song, but session drummer can help w/ fills, mixing and "real drummer" feel sometimes. Now I combine my ideas w/ theirs. One can even take the orig iPad created drum track and use it as a loop along w/ Session Drummer (which can be a bit more of a live drummer feel).
I too write on the iPad when on the road then dump to the Mac Pro Tower when I get home. I had tried a MIDI device to dump the data from the iPad to the Mac. Didn't work. Spent hours researching which software to use for MIDI. Time is $ so I shelled out the dough. They got me! Sort of I didn't buy a new Mac. I'm selling a whole bunch of old studio gear, that I don't use anyway, to make up the difference in cost.
Thanks for your input. This is my 2 cents. I could write a book about this experience!
