1. Connect your device to your computer via USB cable.

2. Open iTunes on your computer.

3. In the left-hand sidebar under 'Devices,' select your connected device (iPad or iPhone).

4. Click on 'Apps' from the main menu bar at top of window now visible for windows users only since mac running latest osx el capitan above will see it under 'account' tab instead!

Step 5: Sync GarageBand project files

1. Open iTunes and select your iPad/iPhone device.

2. Go to 'Music' > 'GarageBand.'

2. Tap 'Share' > 'Export Song As...'

4. Give a name to your exported project and choose where you'd like it saved.

Step 7: Import GarageBand file into Mac version

1. Open GarageBand on your Mac.

2. Go to 'File' > 'Import...' or use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ + Shift + I (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows).

3. In the import window, select '.GarageBand Project (.garb)' from the file type dropdown menu at top left corner of dialog box.

4. Navigate to where you saved your exported .garb file earlier in step 6 above; double-click on it once located within finder windows opened after clicking 'open' button near bottom right-hand side next.
