Have you upgraded to "iCloud Drive" on your iOS devices? Then you can no longer use documents in the cloud, and your mac will not see the projects you are storing in iCloud. Unfortunately, turning off iCloud Drive will not restore the ability. See these documents:
Try to transfer your song with iTunes instead: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs39284d66
Send a GarageBand song to iTunes

.
- Tap Share Song via iTunes.
- Do one of the following:
After you tap the iTunes icon, you can choose the quality of the file GarageBand sends to iTunes. You can also add artist, composer, and title information that appears in iTunes.
- To send the song as a GarageBand song, tap GarageBand.
