GarageBand won’t reinstall on IPad

I didn’t use GarageBand over Christmas holidays, having used it almost daily for work and now it needs me to download it from cloud….but it won’t! I get message “try again later”.

I have so many projects on it and I can’t even get to them to save.

I've done a big storage clear, but don’t understand why it was fine 2 weeks ago and now isn’t?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

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]

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?

Same issue. Latest requirements are for ios 17.0 and higher. Download the older version via the App store. Open App Store pull up GB and download from there, you get a different choice. So far so good!
