I recently purchased a 1st Generation iPad with the max iOS 5.1 and I need GarageBand on it. I have GB on my iMac but it doesn't show up in the Apps selection of iTunes so I'm stuck on how to request an older version of GarageBand. ~Geary

Since the iOS and Mac versions of GarageBand are different, you'll need to purchase it in the Store section of iTunes. You can just search the store for GarageBand if you're having trouble finding it.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply...however, I think I need to reiterate, I need an 'older version' of GarageBand as I only have iOS 5.1.1 on my iPad. I need GarageBand 1.4....which isn't offered on in the Apple/iTunes store. Any idea who might have an old working link to older GBs? ~Gear

I understand, but if you download the latest version of GarageBand in iTunes, you'll then be offered an older version if you try to download it from the App Store on your iPad. The App Store has a feature to let you download older versions of apps, but one of the prerequisites is that you already own the app, hence the need to download the latest version in iTunes.

Apr 17, 2017 Without this, I find it to be a huge step backwards. In the purchase section of the Mac App Store is the old version. I have both versions on my Mac just in case I ever need to use the new version. Garageband was one of the main reason I bought a new Mac, luckily I can still get the version that actually has use. GarageBand is a musical app that enables you to turn your device into virtual instruments with a full studio setting. The app makes room for your creativity and musicality, letting you come up with exciting tunes wherever you are. What should happen: when you go to the App store, find GarageBand, and attempt to download, then the App store will respond that the latest version will not run on your system, but it will give you the option to download an older version that will.
