when on my HP PC I click on garageband in apps on iTunes but it won't open, so I can't burn my new song onto a CD

I just connected my PC to my iPad to download a song I recorded on garageband, and I followed the directions in garageband to Share Garageband songs, but when I get to direction 4. and click on garageband in the apps list on iTunes it won't open, so I can't burn my new song onto a CD! What am I missing? Do I need to have Garageband on my PC in a Microsoft version?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, hooking up to windows7 on an HP PC

There is no GB for PC's, this appears to be Mac-only information.

WooHoo!!! I just figured out how to put my song on my HP PC for burning. In garageband go to my songs, click edit, click on the wriggling song, go to the share button (square with arrow) and choose email and mail it yourself, then open it on your computer. Piece of cake compared to trying to do it from my PC. Hope this helps somebody else.

A nice solution, Singerlady,

but the support article that Keith Barkley pointed to, would have been easier: 🙂 This way you can also set artist, composer, title before you share the song. Why did it not work?

To share GarageBand songs with iTunes for Windows, send the songs from GarageBand as an audio file.

Tap the Navigation button in the control bar (iPhone or iPod touch). Tap the My Songs Button (iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch), and then tap the Share button .

Tap Share Song via iTunes.

To send the song as an audio file, tap iTunes, and then tap Share. After you tap the iTunes icon, you can choose the quality of the file GarageBand sends to iTunes. You can also add the artist, composer, and title information that appears in iTunes.

Sync your iOS device with your computer.

Select your iOS device in iTunes. Click the Apps tab, and select GarageBand to see your song.

I think the problem it that those instructions don't seem to be correct. Email is fail proof. I lost all my work when I went from iphone 3gs to iphone 4 following those instructions.
