Is my .band file broken? I use GarageBand on my iPhone 11 and MacBook Air. However, when I updated my phone to the most recent iOS, I noticed a few of my songs could not be opened on my iPhone. When I try opening it on my phone, it shows the tracks and it appears to be loading, but, as soon as the loading bar completed, the GarageBand crashes. When I try opening it on the Mac version of GB, before it even opens the app, I am prompted a "GarageBand quit unexpectedly" message. I tried exporting it on my phone and it still crashes GB. I even tried opening it in LogicPro and it still crashes Logic. I tried compressing and reopening the file and even making a copy, and GB still crashes. Is my file corrupted? If so, is there a way I can get it back?

Unable to open my project on GarageBand on my iPhone I have the latest iOS and the latest version of Garage Band. But when I want to open my project with a track, it rejects and says to update Garage Band to the latest version and try to open the project again. I already have the latest version of Garage Band. This is not the first time, my tracks do not open 10 times already. I am tired of making projects that do not open, projects that can be said to disappear. Please solve this problem, it is very important to me! Thank you [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I get Mac mini GarageBand to accept songs created on iPad? Hi Unfortunately, never having used Mac Garageband, I expected it would have the custom tracks available in the iPad. Maybe device or software headache? My songs are in iCloud, same account. All songs created iPad Garageband. But in Mac Garageband, I keep getting errors saying parts or something are missing from the songs. Already re-installed updated Garageband, but no good. Didn't find answer in apple support docs yet. current OS versions: -- 16.1 (20B82)iPad mini 6 -- Ventura 13.0.1 Mac mini m1 I posted here because I thought maybe I could go usb-c to usb-c between the devices.
