The edit from my post above:

You can check, if your iCloud GarageBand projects are still there, when you open your User Library in your Home folder.


~/Library/Mobile Documents/F3LWYJ7GM7~com~apple~mobilegarageband/Documents/


In the Library is a folder "Mobile Documents", and inside the folders to sync your apps with iCloud. Look for a folder with some weird name ending in mobilegarageband. Inside should be your projects.

You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:


  • Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
  • Enable "Show Library Folder".
  • Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Mobile Documents

And the second thing to check - is iCloud still enabled for GarageBand?


  • Check your "System Preferences > iCloud" panel.
  • Scroll down to "Docoments and Data" and click the "Options" button.
  • Make sure, the checkmark besides GarageBand is active in the list of apps.

We need to know more. What did you do between yesterday, when the songs still were there and today? Did they vanish right after the "OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)" update?

honestly, I do not know of any updates. All I know is that when I open Garageband on my mac, there is nothing in my iCloud and the Recent projects are empty. It is like I never made any recordings. Is there a way to recover my files? Yesterday, I opened garageband opened one of my projects form the iCloud listened to and edited it. Now they are gone.


The only thing I have worked on since yesterday is on some xcode projects.
