Can’t get garageband files back from icloud

After a few weeks of inactivity, GB project files get put in icloud storage, but I’m unable to redownload and access them. it shows a loading icon over the project file, but never actually loads.It used to work fine, but it just stopped a few months ago. I’d be really grateful for a fix

Exporting GarageBand file Hey i have almost 25 gigs of space on my iPad Pro and it won’t let me export GarageBand files (share) because it contends that I have not enough space to do so. I don’t understand how that’s possible. I also purchased more iCloud space so I’m even more confused.

Cloud Library doesn't update, overrides all local changes I make Hi all I detected doublons, missing tracks, tracks with no meta data, etc. When I "Delete from Library" + "Move files to bin" and empty the bin, I then select "Update Cloud Library", the track I deleted comes back 100% of the time, any changes in meta data reverses back too. Also, some songs I want to play do not download or stream. It plays only 10s and fail. Trying to download them manually leads to error message suggesting I am offline. in the side bar, "Radio" in Apple Music says "Something went wrong, try again later" I have tried unchecking "Sync my library" on all devices logging out my account in music, then in the device's Preferences itself, all devices Starting Music in Safe mode, Create a new library, and start with this one in safe mode Combination of the above. Nothing does it. The library became corrupted, got uploaded and somehow keeps overriding local changes. I'm quite losing my mind and frustrated: Local library reverses to a state where I've lost roughly 10 years of content, 1000+ duplicates with no meta data so it it just really hard to find them even and due to storage optimisation, I do not even have physical files on my computer so if the cloud library doesn't have them, I've lost them entirely. Some includes my own productions... Is there any way to reverse back to a Music *Cloud* library back up from a week ago? Does apple keep those?

garageband cannot save songs to icloud and songs dissapeared Okay, so I have an iPad (5th generation) and have made GarageBand songs on it, but my iPad storage is very full, but not entirely. (about 0.7 gigabytes left) When I opened up GarageBand, it showed this message. When I hit “Save to My iPad” all of my previous song have disappeared and I can no longer find them. Also, opening up iCloud (even in the files app) continues to say “Loading iCloud…” but never loads. How can I recover my songs and keep using iCloud for them? My iCloud isn’t very full.

I managed to figure it out myself. It turns out my iCloud was disabled and I needed to accept the terms and conditions. That would’ve been nice to know lol
