Does Apple know the size limit for Garageband exports?


Uncompressed file exceeds maximum file size Of ###GBs <either Apple does not know this number or it is a secret!

Google does not know either, or a few searches turned up nothing.


You cannot adjust this in Settings (formerly Preferences a word people with iPhones are unable to understand).


2GB is listed as the Maximum File size is a 2013 post, and I am assuming in 12 years this might have changed.


Does anyone know?


Mac mini, macOS 15.3

Every time I have scheduled a callback with Apple Support they have responded by calling me within a minute or two. I have never had to wait to speak to Apple support. To get a callback use the Apple Support app on your device, or:


Either will offer an option for a callback.

I am suggesting that if you have a question that only Apple can answer, you ask Apple. And, while you're on the phone with them, you can ask that they include that information in the warning.


You can also let them know you'd like to see a change in the warning here:


Product Feedback - Apple


Or, you can keep complaining that no one is giving you the answer. The choice is yours.
