Yet the Files app alone is not enough for our task. Here is the plan: we need to export the m4a file to Files, and open it in the Document app, then using the built-in browser to convert m4a to mp3 and download it. Let's break it down to detailed steps with pictorial instructions:
Garageband Mac Zip Download
Install on one Mac, Then run Logic. It will want to get the Essentials packages. Let it, but don't put in the Admin password to allow them to install.Then head to Go - Connect to Folder/var/foldersView as list, and set View options to calculate all sizes. Organise the folder view with the biggest at the top.Open the biggest folder, and keep on going until you get a whole big bunch of .pkg files. There might be 2 folders with content, I recall the older stuff being in a different folder.Copy all of these out to somewhere safe. Don't move them, make copies.Once you have them all copied safe, go back to Logic and give it the admin password.Logic will now install all of the essentials files, and delete them from the folder they were in.Reboot the Mac. Open Logic again, and this time tell it to get everything from the Library.Head back to the same folder as before, and all the new content will download.Again wait for the admin password, but don't put it in, and you will find an awful lot of installers in the folders you were in before. Copy them out again to a safe place. Remember they could be in a couple of folders. Once you have copied them out, you can install them. Reboot and check once more for any Library files to be added. If there are repeat the steps above.
@chrisdaggett In GarageBand.View Menu - Show Loop browserIn the Loop BrowserAt the top, if it doesn't automatically do it for you. It will say Loop Packs: And then there is a pop out menu, in it you will find Index all Loops.It may take a while.If you get the messages about downloading, cancel them, and then top center of the GB window you will find a red progress bar. Its at the bottom of the black bit. Click on the red bit and it will pop down the progress of the downloads. Click the X to cancel them. Once the indexing is done Quit GB and then re-open it, and all is happy.
It is stupid, because mine can see all of the loops in the Library, and it also automatically indexed them when I opened the loop browser. It knows they are all there, it just seems to get a bee in its bonnet over it must download, and can't see that everything it wants to download is already there.
@chrisdaggett In GB do you have the red progress bar in the top centre at the bottom of the black box bit? I found you can stop the downloads from there by clicking on it and it will expand to show progress. Then clicking the X will remove it. It seems to get stuck in a cycle of attempting to download, and cancelling it here will break the cycle.
The total download from the Apple servers for the loops is around 13Gb for GB, and 65Gb for Logic. This is why I use my solution rather than having 65 Macs all hitting the internet for all of that lot. Our network manager already shakes his head at me as I used to flatline our link on a regular basis.
If I do a download rather than deploy - of both mandatory and optional - and install with a script (basically: pkg installer * on the folders) then it works fine. No additional download or admin prompt.
I will note that Carl Ashley's script is working well again...I had no good way of sharing my list of packages as I simply had to download them ALL and make a point of getting a copy of every single package folder downloaded to 2-3 locations. The load of packages was so enormous, I had no way to publish them. My script works once I did that, but I hated using it. Now that Carl has resolved the issue, I'm back to using it exclusively for this.
I'm very glad this is still under active development (and discussion). I have had a problem with doing bare metal builds (--eraseinstall) that the timing of installing the Mac App Store apps and the running of appleloops to download/install the required sounds causes appleloops to think that GarageBand is not installed, and it quietly ends. I've fixed this manually this semester by just de-activating the policy that installs the loops until I'm sure GarageBand is installed, and then re-activating it.
Updated the script for the new version and to add a delete preferences file in case they had already opened GarageBand to kill the downloader. Currently set for just mandatory. You can add -o for optional but that's a LONG install.
@chrisdaggett Looks like the script is no longer working after an update to the Carlashley github site in November. I am getting error trying to locate the Garageband app. /Library/Application Support/JAMF/tmp/ButlerLoops: /tmp/appleLoops-master/appleLoops: /usr/local/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directoryrm: /var/root/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband10.plist: No such file or directory
This is for the full install but for some reason it doesn't grab one package of symphony sounds and i make the policy with a warning that depending on internet speeds, it could take over an hour to download and install:
@kieranbailey Unfortunately there isn't anything it can cache other than the script itself as far as JAMF Caching goes. The script itself calls for the download of the AppleLoops python script and runs it and then it manually downloads all the soundfiles from Apple.
The downside to any of the caching methods is every time there is a GarageBand update it is likely to have some new or modified sound file that breaks your cache. You then have to do the manual download method again and make new ZIP Packages.
I've bought a macbook Air (second use) and Garage band wasn't on it. I've tried to download the Garageband from Applestore, but it requires to have mac os 10.12 and higher, while mine is El Capitan 10.11.6
It is nearly impossible now to get GarageBand for a Mac with El Capitan, unless a family member owns a copy and can it install for you, or you can convince Apple Support to help you with a redeem code, so can download it from the App Store. GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5 would run on your Mac, but GarageBand '11 is no longer sold, and the updater to version 6.0.5 has been removed from Apple's downloads page. So it would not help you to buy the boxed GarageBand '11 installers from Amazon or eBay.
Followed your steps as I have had on my mac in the past.The version it downloads is old (6.0.5) and will not install as it is 32bit.My Mac is a 2013 model running Catalina 10.15.7Any ideas?
dang it, we only have older macs but the one i record on has the latest version, the one my hubby mixes and masters it on is older and has can only run older version, i just went to load the song into the old mac for mixing and oh dear, it wont load the file as it is recorded on a newer version of garageband. rethink required. all his presets for plugins etc are on the old mac. Both macs struggle with the files but was tryng to avoid paying for a new mac :{ didnt even think of that when i did an update a while back.
I did not read through the comments to see if someone offered this solution but the workaround on an older Mac is to sign into another Apple ID where the program was previously downloaded, download the older version, then log out. I logged into my Apple ID account on my old Mac laptop, downloaded Garage Band, then logged back out and logged my kid back in. Worked like a charm.
In this article, I am going to take you through the process of downloading GarageBand for PC (Windows Version). The most common question I receive as a musician who majorly depends on this app to produce all my mixers and songs: How can we download GarageBand for Windows and is there any alternative to GarageBand?- majorly because of the unavailability of an apple device.
Unlike the first two methods, downloading GarageBand on Windows PC using the iPadian iOS the emulator has more steps to follow, but nothing complicated. Each step takes you to the next and you will be done before you know it.
I hope you are well. The current market is currently very tricky so I am giving time out to my hobbies and learning to make music and compose my own tracks. Can you please help me in the new macOS version in CATALINA, I am using garageband for windows version on windows 10 right now.
Garageband is a digital audio workstation developed by Apple for macOS, iPad, and iOS. Currently, there is not a Windows version of Garageband. In order to use Garageband on a Windows PC, you will need to install macOS Big Sur on a virtual machine. Then you can download and run Garageband and other Mac apps through the virtual machine. Be aware that installing macOS on a virtual machine is a little more complicated than installing other operating systems. This wikiHow teaches you how to install Garageband on a virtual machine.
If you believe that the downloading process was faulty, you may contact Yamaha, and Yamaha shall permit you to re-download the SOFTWARE, provided that you first destroy any copies or partial copies of the SOFTWARE that you obtained through your previous download attempt. This permission to re-download shall not limit in any manner the disclaimer of warranty set forth in Section 5 below.
3. A prompt should then appear on that person's device asking if they will accept the Airrop from your device. Have them tap "Accept," and the download should complete in a few seconds. It will say "Sent" on your device when finished.
