GarageBand for iOS is firmly established as one of the fundamental music making apps for iOS devices. It is a wonderfully creative environment, and has a huge range of functions presented in an easy-to-use UI, but for all that, there are one or two things that are trickier than you would expect, especially if you have used the Mac version. One of those is sharing your work with others as a project. It's easy enough to do if you are happy to share a mix-down, but if you want to collaborate with others on the same project, or you want to provide a simple template to get a group working from the same starting point, then your options are limited. But it is possible - here's how.


Get your iOS Device and your Mac Talking over Wi-Fi


You will need a Mac as the '˜communication centre' for this process, and you will need to set up all the iOS devices that you want to communicate with to sync with the Mac over Wi-Fi. To do that, connect each iOS device in turn by cable to the Mac and open iTunes. For each one go, select the device in the left-hand column, then in the Summary tab check the '˜Sync with this iPad (or other device) over Wi-Fi' box. This means the iOS device in question will now appear in iTunes without being connected by cable anytime it is on the same Wi-Fi network.

By the way, if you have recently updated your iTunes and you can no longer see the sidebar, go to the View menu in iTunes and choose '˜Show Sidebar'.
