Transferring Garageband Ipad to Mac

I am trying to load a Garageband project from my ipad into my Mac, but the Mac doesn't find the Garage Band project. Anyone know why, or how to get around this? Also, I am trying to load tracks into Garageband from iTunes so that my daughter can sing over the track. Cab someone let me know what to do about this within Apple's ecosysytem, or do I need to go outside the wall for a programt to do this?
Thanks.

Connect and select iPad in iTunes under DEVICES (left panel), choose Apps tab, scroll down to see the File Sharing option for GarageBand.

How transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

In answer to the question:
how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?
Transfering a file from Garageband on the Mac to Garageband in the iPad is not just a case of putting it in iTunes as a number of people seem to state. The XML package which is the Garageband Song File has to be changed before a Garageband Mac file will be downloadable to the iPad. This can be done manually but is time consuming and tedious. After doing it manually a few times and making mistakes, I have created an Applescript Application to do this called:
Garageband Mac to iPad Oneshot Converter
I have made a video of the converter in use which I have post on my Youtube ' fixed1t ' pages. This Application and the video solves the question above and shows the song file on the mac being moved and running on the iPad.

There is a link on the Description of the fixed1t youtube video to enable viewers to download a trial version. The link will also allow viewers to purchase a copy once you have tried i, but you are under no obligation to purchase and the trial is completely free. I am selling it for £5 UK and I will receive over £4 of this should you decide to purchase using the PayPal link.
Please try it out and give me feedback, even if you don't wish to buy it.
Thanks Malcolm (aka fixed1t)

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

How to transfer a garageband file from Mac to iPad?

Recorded some tracks on Garageband on the Mac; and want to transfer the file to my iOS device.
Tried emailing a .band file and an .mp3 ; but neither would open up in Garageband on the iPad.
Even put the file onto iTunes on the mac and synced to itunes on the iPad; but still can't figure out how to even open an mp3 file ; nevermind a band file on iOS Garageband
Any help appreciated
Thanks;-)

Recorded some tracks on Garageband on the Mac; and want to transfer the file to my iOS device.
You can only sync GarageBand projects from your mac to the iPad that originally have been created on your iPad. Creating a project on the iPad, then sending it to a mac, opening it on the Mac, doing some edits (but nothing that is not supported on the iPad), then upload it again to the iPad will work. But sendind a Mac-created GarageBand project to the iPad is not possible. The applications are just too different.
You can open your mp3 in GarageBand on the iPad, however. Sync it to the iPad using iTunes, so you see it in the Music.app on your iPad. All songs there can be accessed from the Loop Browser on the iPad, see: Import a song from the Music app
To sync projects between iPad and Mac use iTunes.
To send a song from the iPad to your mac as a project, share the song to iTunes > GarageBand.
Sync your iPad with your computer.
In iTunes, the exported song appears in the Documents list in the File Sharing area when GarageBand is selected.
To send the project back to the iPad, add it to garageBand's Documents list in iTunes.

Question about transferring files from a Mac

Hi there!
I want to ask about the new iPad mini (and or the iPad 3) especially with transferring files from a Mac.
I normally just do the "normal" way of transferring files (.doc files, .mp3 files or .mp4 video files) i.e. via the USB port of my Mac. But is there a faster, easier and a wireless way to do it?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Stupid question: will i need to also install Dropcopy on my iPad 3/iPad mini in order for my files to be transferred?
Yes, it will need to,install it on any machine you wish to use it on.
also, you should spend some time on the Drobbox website to see how it works. You won't find it in the Mac App Store, but can still easily using it on a Mac.

HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

Share project with friend (only iPad, no Mac)

Hi all,
I'm an iPad and iPhone user and I don't have the Mac. I have created a new song on my iPad and now I would like to share the project with my friend.
Directly from the app there is the possibility to share only the music, but I want to share the whole project with all the multi tracks.
I tried to export the project using iTunes, but in the App sharing file there is only one file to be saved on my PC.
Anyone can help me_
Thanks,
Chris

Chris, how are you sharing to iTunes? With the setting "AAC" or "GarageBand"? To share the project, you need to share with the "GarageBand" option.
In iTunes on your PC you should see a folder. I can't check this, I only have Macs.
See this thread:
Re: Loading a .band file back into Garageband (iPad 2)
or HT4622 Re: Can I share the .band file to my friend for edit/record his track?

Down load an app from ipad to mac

was wondering about i guess transfering an app from ipad to my new mac....yes im new to the apple world!

You can copy an app from your iPad to Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you should be able to re-download it directly on your Mac's iTunes (re-downloading) - you can then take a backup of it and/or use it in the future if you need to resync/restore it back to your iPad (you can't use iPad apps on a Mac as they are different operating systems)

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?

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

How do I transfer files from iPad to Mac?

how do I transfer files frm iPad to Mac?

Are these files in some app, or, are they photos you've shot on the iPad?
If the former, most apps support iTunes File Sharing, which is the best and fastest way of transferring files. Can you tell us the name of the app, so that I can give you a more precise answer?
