Transferring midi data from Atari to Mac.
Like many of the "older" hands here, I started sequencing on an Atari ST1040 and still have many old DD floppy-disks full of my songs in the old Emagic Notator (_.SON) format. Well I held on to the old Atari and it still works well but what I would love to do is get those songs into Logic Pro 8.
What I have found out and done so far is...
- successfully exported a Notator song file to a midi file on the Atari.
- successfully connected the Atari to my MacBook (using midi lead from Atari midi out, through M-Audio midisport USB into MacBook USB port.
- successfully established communication between the two computers and transferred one midi file, ending up with a single midi track in Logic, containing (I think) most of the information, but all crammed into a single track.
What I haven't been able to do is enable proper sync between the two (I simply set Logic bpm to that of the Atari, pressed "record" in Logic and then "play" on the Atari). I can't seem to find this sync setting in Logic.
I am also unsure as to what to set the new track to in Logic as it seems to work in a limited way, whether I select "External Midi Instrument" or "External Sequencer". Common sense seems to suggest the latter, since Notator is indeed an external sequencer as far as the Mac is concerned.
So what I'm really trying to achieve here is:
1. Proper sync so that the timing doesn't wander during transfer
2. The same number of tracks in my original midi file, transferred into Logic. (I tried enabling the right number of tracks, even setting the individual midi channels but it just record onto the first track and ignores the rest.)
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong, what I need to do now or any help or advice as to how to get this to work properly would be most welcome.
Cheers!
I think you'd be better off just transferring the .son data file in it's raw form. Anyway to get that midi info onto a more modern storage device and then load it into Logic that way?
I'm not sure what kind of useful data interfaces are possible on the Atari.
Original Emagic dudes probably have some suggestions as this would have been somewhat common a decade ago.
The midi porting seems to create a jumble rather than your segregated parts.

I'm connected to Wi-Fi, but my NEW MacBook Pro won't come online. This happened right after I transferred my data from my old Mac.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?
Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

I transfered data from my old Mac, but now it tells me "No Access" when I try to open the files. How can I fix that?
That's the problem, then. The files are under your 'old' user account. You should be able to access them if you log into your old account. However, that's not going to let you move them to your new user account. It's for situations like this that I always create a root user account (although I seldom access it). With a root user account, you can copy files from one user account to another. Note that someone may come up with a better idea than what I would use, but here goes.
Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 and set up a root user. Then you can transfer files from one account to another. If you like, you can delete this account after you've moved your files.
Good luck,

External Hard Drive issues- Transfering data from NTFS to Mac
Hi. I need help deciding the best way to get my files from my NTFS external hard drive to be read/write able on my Mac Laptop (late 2008 macbook, 13inch). I know I need to reformat both of the NTFS external drives I own to either FAT32 or Mac OS (journaled), however I am unsure what the best way to do this.
The apple Genius told me to do the following:
Using my Windows running laptop, copy data from NTFS drive to a safe place on PC.
Reformat drive to FAT32
Copy files from windows running laptop back to hard drive.
This sounds great, but I have been warned that FAT32 has many limitations. I have 66 GB of music and photos on the drive.
Clarifaction of what the limitations with FAT32 are, and any advice is greatly appreciated. I mean, how do people switch their data from PC to Mac? There has to be an easier answer.
THANKS!Hi Kassluv17;
Before we can tell you the best solution, you must tell us where you wish to end up. Do you plan to migrate over to the Mac and have nothing to do with the PC in the future or are both a Mac and a PC in your future.

I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17". Thanks for the help on that. I thought that I was doing it right. Used a backup hard drive and time machine. Problem: Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air. Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones. How do I fix the mess I have made? Like I said before, I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn. Thanks for any help.
iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences. -
Using ipod as a hard drive to transfer data from PC to Mac

Hello All,
I can record midi data from my Mason & Hamlin Piano Disc Pro Record through my MOTU Traveller into Logic Pro 9.1.8 but Logic won't send the midi data back out to the MOTU Traveller and thus to the Piano Disc player. I got it to playback one time but have no idea how and when it did it was looping or something because the velocity was way high coming back in and the damper pedal was slamming down. When I play a key on the piano the midi "in" light on the Traveller lights up. When I play the track back on my computer no lights blink on the Traveller and when I did the apple midi studio test in utilities when I play a key I get the confirmation signal noise and the Traveller blinks when I click on the down arrow of the Traveller in the Apple midi studio test the midi out light on the traveller never lights and the signal light on the piano does not blink either. No outbound signal at all...
I have messed with every possible parameter I can find and and have had help from one of Piano Disc's premier editors but no luck. The piano was prepped for me on Logic so it would work with my studio. I'm positive it's my fault and I'm overlooking something really simple and stupid but what!??!
Somebody please help. Thank you all in advance for ANY ideas you might have!Blues Piano,
I'm not sure if this will be a help or not. I'm so Logic Pro wet behind the ears that I make newbies look experienced. However, I'm not expecting many on the Apple support forums have a PianoDisc system, much less one with the new optical record strip. While I don't have any record strip on my PianoDisc, I do have a PianoDisc iQ that's only a month old. I've been playing converted paper scrolls from hundred year old player pianos through it via the MIDI in port of the PianoDisc CPU. I've found I have to open the MIDI file in Logic Pro (10.0.4) then go to <Track><New External MIDI Track> then copy the existing track to that new external track. Only then can I see in the Track inspector (defaults left side of screen with the Icon for the instrument) the "Port" parameter. Then I can select my external MIDI device in that Port selector.
I've also encountered problems with the PianoDisc not using enough force on the notes or using too much force. To get around this problem, until I understand Logic better, I've been setting minimum and maximum volicities. To do that I right click on the track and select "Select All." Then I right click again and select "MIDI" then "MIDI Transform" then "Velocity Limiter." In the resulting pop up window in the center is a drop down and you can play with the velocity from "MIN" to "MAX" along with "ADD" "SUBTRACT" etc.
I hope this helps. I envy you your Mason & Hamlin. If you need more help on this just email me at pfleischmann at mac dot com. -
When I transferred my data from a 128GB Macbook Air to 256GB Macbook Air (brand new version as of 9/1/13) I end up with 188GB used! I add up the size of Users, System, Library and Applications and it comes to 90GB. What am I missing? How did I "use" up so much space in migrating from one Mac to another?
Did you use the Setup Assistant available at the beginning of the new machine's setup process? Or did you use Migration Assistant later after you had set up the new machine?
If you used Migration Assistant, you generally wind up with two accounts (the new one you set up on the new machine plus the old one you ported over) - that may explain your excessive use of space. In that case, you can either manually combine/remove all unnecessary duplicate files, or you can start over by using Command + R, wiping your drive, and downloading the OS. Once it's downloaded, use the Setup Assistant offered at the beginning of the install/setup process. -

Concerning midi data in GarageBand for iOS: can we copy midi data from one virtual instrument to another?
For instance: I play my "lucky take" on the virtual piano, and now I am curious how it would sound on let's say a organ. Normally I would select the midi content out of the piano track and copy it into the organ track. I cannot figure out how to do this in GarageBand for iOS. Is there anyone out there with a solution?
Thanks!It is limited, how you can move regions between tracks. Basically, you can move between tracks with the same touch instrument. See the help: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chsec12c15d
Move a region
Drag the region left or right to move it forward or back in time. Align the left edge of the region with the bar or beat on the ruler where you want it to start playing.
Drag the region up or down to move it to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also drag regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be dragged to another Smart Drums track.
If you move a region so that it overlaps another region, the overlapped part of the “covered” region is deleted.
Paste a region
You can paste a region you have copied, or paste an audio file from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. GarageBand supports 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth uncompressed audio files.
You can paste copied regions to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also paste regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be pasted to another Smart Drums track. Audio files copied from another app can be pasted to Audio Recorder or Guitar Amp tracks.
Move the playhead to the point where you want the region to start.
Tap the header of the track where you want to paste the region to select the track.
Tap the track where you want to paste the region, then tap Paste.You can also tap an empty area of Tracks view, then tap Paste. In this case the region is pasted into the currently selected track. -

When transferring HR data from ECC to CRM via change pointers
When transferring HR data from ECC to CRM via change pointers ,certain data is getting earsed in CRM

Do you have any idea why this could be happening
Thanks in advanceHi Kittu,
Change pointers. Change pointers are R/3 objects that mark changes to SAP master data. Change pointers are managed by mechanisms in a Shared Master Data (SMD) tool and are based on Change Document (CD) objects. CD objects record the changes occurring to master data at a field level. These changes are stored in tables CDHDR (header table) and CDPOS (detail table). ALE configuration provides a link between CD objects and change pointers. Internal mechanisms update tables BDCP and BDCPS, which host the change pointers. While CD objects are application-data-specific, the processing status of change pointers is message-type-specific. Also, the ALE change pointers are activated first at a general level and then at the message-type level.
use this links kittu.
