[Can I Delete Garageband And Download It Later
Tilo Chopin
I am trying to free up some space on my macbook pro, and I thought that deleting applications that I do not use, and also take up a lot of space, such as imovie and garageband, would be a good idea. However, I was wondering what would happen if I deleted them, would I be able to get them back any time, if I wanted to use them, or would I have to pay for them, even though they came free with my macbook?
the Garageband application does not need much storage. Most of the storage used by Garageband are the Loop Library and the Instrument Library. you would need to run an uninstaller that would free the storage.
It depends on the version of GarageBand you currently have, if you can get it back, if you delete it. You can reinstall GarageBAnd 10.1 from the AppStore, but GarageBAnd '11 is no longer well supported. It is frequently not available for reinstalling.
So I turn on my iPad tonight to have a GarageBand session and I notice this little cloud icon next to the GarageBand icon. Apparently this means the app has been off-loaded (which is a surprise to me because I never opted in for this feature). I touch the icon, it says loading, then it goes back to the original icon with the cloud in the corner. I touch it again and the same thing happens. Has anybody else run into this issue? Any ideas how to remedy it?
Garageband now requires iOS 13 to install it. I had deleted it off my old ipad and was going to redownload it but my old ipad wasn't compatible with iOS 13 so I couldn't redownload it. Not sure if that's your issue but make sure you are running iOS 13 or higher

That's it! I tried finding it on the app store and it wasn't there, so I checked my previously purchased apps list and that's where it showed that it requires iOS 13 or later! Thanks. Now I have to make a decision whether to bite the bullet and upgrade or stay safe, but lose GarageBand.
I was asked to upgrade Garageband in our iMacs in the Lab from 10.0.1 to 10.1.2. As the first time I do this upgrade (Garageband is part of the image when we deploy them to the iMacs) but in this instance it's necessary to upgrade Garageband without re imaging the iMacs
I did what I normally do when I deploy apps. Used composer to do a pre snapshot, then upgraded Garageband then ran the after snapshot. create a .pkg and deploy it through casper to the iMacs using a policy.
Opened Garageband in one of the iMacs just to find out that collection of sounds and loops are missing. I tried creating a garageband package from a Macbook air that's has been upgrade to 10.1.2, got all the loops and sounds, deployed the package to one of the iMacs as a test but didn't work. The size of the package I created and the size of Garageband in the Macbook air are roughly the same (2GB) and I thought it would work.
Wondering if anyone would know or can guide me on how to get the loops and the sounds back to the iMacs. Did I miss a step? would I need to login to each computer and re-download Garageband through the Apple store to get the sounds and loops that way?
Rich Trouton had a post on his site on how to dig applications out of the App Store download folder.
There is another post on how to ensure the apps get laid down in the correct order.
He has a new tool on how website to assist -installer-packages-from-the-mac-app-store-with-appstoreextract/
With the DerFlounder method, seems like the apps when you do to the apple store ( in this case Garage band) needs to be on the list of apps to be updated. in my case Garageband is already update so it wont give me the option on the apple store to update. shoud I delete garageband from the computer and that way I will have the option to update garage band from the Apple Store again?
I am not certain how important the order is (or I just got lucky) as long as the core ones go first it seems to work.
I simply created a DMG of the core PKG files and a DMG of the additional PKG files in two folders.
Pushed this out and then had a script run through and install the pkg files as follows.
I used /Library/Scripts/GarageBand/1 and /Library/Scripts/GarageBand/2 but you could put it anyway really.
@Look Interesting. Thanks for the response. I've been continuing to work on this today and after installing GarageBand 10.1.2 on a fresh install of OS X 10.11.5, I used Charles Proxy and PKGKeeper to see what it was downloading on first launch. Here's the list I came up with:
@stevevalle Would it work without using the Der Flounder method where I have already updated Garageband to 10.1.2 and deploy it to all computers, then take one of the computers (log in as the admin) do a pre snapshot, download all the loops and sounds then do the after snapshot, create a .pkg and deploy it to all computers or a dmg?
I'm also finding a general problem when I open Garageband. click on new projects, sound library, download essential sounds, is hard to tell if the download is hapenning since there's no indication that the download is in progress (not on launchpad, not at the top of the task bar) where you normally can see downloads in progress. This happens on 10.1.2 how you tell if is actually downloading?
If a downgrade to 10.0.1 and try to update the library, I get a prompt asking me if I want to download the primary sounds an loops (about 1.5G) or the full Library (14G) I choose the 1.5GB download but once is finish, sometimes Garageband works, when I try to open it again sometimes I have to force it to quit because isn't responding. running iMacs Mid 2013 with 500GB and 8GB ram. Bit puzzled about this
@jacob_salmela added your script to casper then created a policy and deploy it to one of the iMacs as a test. Had the same issue as explained above where Garageband stops responding. looking at the logs of the policy, still says pending. will have another look when I'm back to the office Tuesday.
@pty10 yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that happened as there are so many files to download. I usually download the packages once and then store them in the JSS so I can install them over the LAN and not have each client download and install them.
Thanks for your input guys. what I ended up doing was I created a package with the garage band app update plus the basic sounds and loops. then another package with all the sounds and loops. added those to the image workflow (we use deploy studio) and it works that way

The AppleVis Podcast Submission Guidelines make it clear that you don't need fancy recording equipment. It's true, you can record with the built-in mic on your MacBook Air or iPhone. Yet I suspect some AppleVis readers own some moderate audio equipment, are driven by a desire for quality, and have enough recording experience to be dangerous. If that describes you, then read on.
When I set out to record a podcast, I had a couple goals in mind. I knew I couldn't recite a flawless soliloquy. That meant I'd have to edit out all my dead air and stammering. I'm also a bit of an audio geek. Even if I thought AppleVis would accept a podcast recorded through a tin-can-and-string telephone, I would still want multiple tracks so I could mix, master, and EQ VoiceOver and my own voice separately.
I learned a lot by just playing around in GarageBand, but this blog would not have been possible without the generous and detailed posts from @Bojingles found in two AppleVis forum threads, one with GarageBand spelled correctly and the other containing a space. I wish these threads could be merged somehow.
Note: As I mentioned in previous blogs, GarageBand has many similarly named controls. If you typically use VoiceOver with Low verbosity, specify Medium verbosity in the VoiceOver utility to help differentiate these controls.
Note: I won't be repeating VoiceOver technique in this blog. See previous blogs in this series for instructions on moving regions, using hotspots, using the Item Chooser for navigation, and creating keyboard shortcuts.
Specify your multichannel audio input device as your audio input in GarageBand's Preferences dialog. From the GarageBand menu, select Preferences, and in the toolbar, select Audio/MIDI. Finally, set the audio input by navigating to the current Input Device and treating it like a popup menu. After you set your input device in Preferences, set the device channel for each track in Smart Controls.
Besides better sound quality, higher-end mics reduce bleed between tracks, producing a cleaner mix. Let me be clear. I'm not telling you to go buy a better mic, but I do want you to be aware of the differences.
