Delete and Move not working in Garageband This is not so much a question but a solution. When editing audio in Garageband, it doesn't take MP4 files. I mean it will download into it but using the Delete and Move feature doesn't work because GarageBand doesn't support MP4 files. What you have to do is download the file. Move that file to your Apple Music playlist. Highlight the file and go the upper left corner to file. Then in the dropdown menu there will be something that says convert, then it will say convert to AAC file and that's what you want. Your audio file will begin converting to AAC. Then drag and drop that file into GarageBand and you'll be able to delete and move. I hope this helps!

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.

You can try using Audacity to convert it to an AIFF or WAV that GB likes better.

An open source audio editor, a good adjunct to GarageBand:

Ok. What is Audacity? An application or something else?
