My garage band app crashes when I try to edit a song. This happens several time on a variety of songs. I turned off my apps, deleted and reinstall the app, turn off my ipad, did a hard reset, and took it to the Genius Bar. Still having problems. It's annoying because I have to re-record a song.
GarageBand (iPad)
And what did you already try at the Genius bar? It is difficult to suggest something new, if we do not know, what you already tried.
They told me it was a software issue and I would have the same problem on another ipad. we took another ipad, downloaded GarageBand, I logged in with my Apple ID AND used my icloud account but still had the same problem. They recommended contacting the developer or wait for an update in software. The problem is isolated to garage band. Never had this problem before. I wonder what is causing these files to crash?
I also restore the ipad to factory settings, set it up as a new ipad and downloaded garage band again. Still having the same problem. Something is corrupting the file.
I take it , you already checked, if you are having plenty of free memory on your iPad?
Editing GarageBand projects is working very well on the iPad for me. So there must be something special about your projects. What kind of edits were you trying, when it crashed? Do you use any custom loops? Songs from your Music.app? Is there anything common about the projects that keep crashing?
Do new projects crash or only your older projects in iCloud?
Do you have any other audio software installed? Non-Apple software?
I could always use more storage. I only have a 16 gb ipad mini with retina display. Current, I only have 2.3 gb left. Maybe that might be. The problem. This problem only happens on newer projects. The old ones are fine.
I don't do anything different from old projects to new ones. I use the iRig adapter to plug my bass guitar into the iPad when I'm laying down bass tracks. I use the drums and other instruments from the garage band and use the iPad mic to record my guitar parts (I only have an classical guitar without pickups).
I don't use 3rd party apps or loops. Nothing is really looped. I recorded everything straight through. From drums, I don't loop. I change the beat every so often and do different fills. So if I make a mistake somewhere I would re-record everything from scratch. Same goes for the other instruments.
I appreciate your time and support with my problem. :).
Would it be possible for you to make more space? Save the older projects to iCloud or a compatible mac? Perhaps unstall some apps? Then reset GarageBand and try with a new project?
The older projects are already saved to the cloud. I did uninstall some but I'm going to uninstall some apps and see if that works. I wonder if the RAM is not enough? I don't think so because I had no problem on my previous mini.
Thank you for your help and I'll keep you posted.
