Garage Band is missing

I recently got an iPhone 5s and set it up. Transfered contacts, calendars, notes, and apps, except for a few. The one I'm most distressed over id Garage Band and more importatntly song ideas, guitar riffs, and other stuff I haven't transfered to my DAW. Garage Band and the other apps may have been purchased under another Apple ID, which somehow is still active. But iCloud shows no data for this ID, (4.99 GB Available). Garage Band is still active on my old phone, but I don't want to use two phones, I need GB on my new phone! Thanks for any advice.

Is the problem, that GarageBand did not install on your new iPhone? You can buy it for free from the App Store, if you are running iOS 7.0, see this document:

Expanding GarageBand for iOS 2.0 content with an in-app purchase

Other apps should also be free: How to get all the iWork apps, iPhoto, and iMovie for free on an eligible iPhone or iPad | iMore

Is there a reason, that you set up your knew iPhone with a different AppleID? That will make updating your older apps rather complicated.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't even check Garage Band. I guess it's free now, I paid for it a few years ago. When I down loaded all my songs were in the app!! I guess it populated it from the Cloud. Problem solved.
