Check, if GarageBand is showing among your Purchases at the fourth tab "Purchases" of the App Store. If you are seeing it there with a button "Accept" or "Install"; click that button to install it.


Which version of GarageBand did you have? If it was GarageBand '11 and came on a Mac with installer DVDs, use the installer from the DVD with the bundled applications. Then update the installed version from Apple's downloads page, see: (GarageBand 6.0.5)


If it was a Mac without installer DVDs, you need the App Store to download from your Purchases history.

Your purchase may be hidden: See: Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
