Garageband - Editing an Audio Track and moving it.

I have done the following in Garageband

Open the file in Garageband
Clicked on Edit > Split - to split the audio up into multiple sections.
When I want to move the audio and drag it - it overwrites other audio I have in the sequence without pushing it further down in time.

How can I get it to not overwrite other audio and push it further along the time scale?

Cheers,
Nathan

I have viewed all videos on youtube, ehow etc but nothing I do seems to work.
If I move udio further in time it overwrites other audio, when in fact I want it to puch it further along in time.

Is there an easier way to do this (other than selecting all audio) and making space for the udio I want to move?

I dont have Garage band here but at a guess i'd save that segment as a separate wav export it or something then go to edit mark in on the spot to re-insert it. Use the re-loop .
