Another Lion X Problem

No video via HDMI port after install of Lion X and reboot. Only works via Mini Display port then everything OK. Did an update and same happened. Had to buy a Mini Display lead for future updates just in case. ':(

The first problem I see is that you are using the M-Powered version. That version only works with M-Audio interfaces. So you will need the regular Pro Tools version that will work with the Digideign and Avid Mbox series interfaces. Pro Tools never corrected the fact that because it says M-Powered it means it works with Mbox. Pretty stupid mistake. M-Powered for M-Audio and not Mbox? You can see why the confusion.
Second, make sure you install the program without the Mbox being connected. Make sure you read the installing procedure in the manual. Also you'll need to install a couple of drivers and assign midi mapping to your interface.
The best set-up will be running the PT program on your internal drive and recording straight to an external Firewire hard drive. Do not even bother using a USB hard drive. USB although technically faster than Firewire, it is severely more inconsistent in data transfer than the Firewire connection. This is where so many recording enthusiasts that don't know the in and outs of USB versus Firewire connections. Always use Firewire for your drives.
When recording or mixing you will need to make adjustments with memory and buffer size. Record at low and mix and high buffers. Also, disconnect from the internet and turn off your antivirus program. It ***** up needed cpu power. Also turn off bluetooth and wifi and if you can use a wired mouse (on PC's is great if you can use the mouse port rather than USB connection for the mouse. Try to only have your Mbox and your iLok connected. You don't want anything else connected except maybe your USB mouse. And don't use any multiple USB hubs. The Mbix must be connected directly into a USB computer port by itself!
Try thsese and you should see that you'll Pro Tools will run flawlessly.

I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own.

  • 10.6.8 and Lion wifi problem

    hello,
    I am trying to use my mac for one week...... ;(
    everything was fine until update to 10.6.8... wifi problem as many of you already know. tried to update to lion, same problem. Got back to 10.6 and then update to 10.6.8 using software update... then formatted again, fresh install 10.6 update to 10.6.8 using combo update, same problem.
    tried to delete firewall file, turned off ipv6, changed security of my router from wpa2 to wpa, tried different channels, reset SMC and RAM, all the solutions we can research... all the same
    now I am on 10.6.7 and seems i still has the problem happening....
    hello apple, more than a month and no solution yet????
    I've read somewhere a new procedure that consists in update to 10.6.8 and before restart do some procedures.... but I can't find it anymore, any help?
    I guess that solution is the only one remaining I did not try yet.
    thanks and regards,
    raul

    well, it's caused by software only, there is nothing wrong with airport hardware
    hard to believe, it's like windows old time sake, loosing precious days fighting with a computer...

  • Since installing LION having problems getting photo images to upload?

    since installing LION having problems getting photo images to upload? anyone else havie this problem? I did finally get a message that the format was wrong, but I have changed nothing on my camera. Only change was the installing of LION.

  • Lion sleep problem

    Hi folks,
    I read all messages on the Lion sleep problem, verified all relevant settings, and tried all that was recommended and applicable, but to no avail.  The display goes to sleep as set in energy saver but not the disk.  Does anyone has more to offer on this subject?  And apropos SleepPlease: I in principle refuse to download software that puts the machine to sleep when it's supposed to do so on it's own.  Any help is appreciated.
    Best
    Frank

    I tried both of those suggestions an am still having the problem.  My settings are set to sleep the display and the monitor after 10 minutes.  Most times it wakes up fine, but it seems that since the update it does not wake up after being asleep for a considerable amount of time....  I have to do a hard reset to get it to come back up.

  • Mountain Lion WiFi Problems (recap)

    Folks, wanted to recap this as I am finding the problem much more broad than my original post (here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19123146#19123146). Here's my setup:
    MacBook Air 13", Mid 2011
    Mountain Lion
    Wifi Problems, cannot connect to open wi-fi and Sprint hot spot.
    CAN connect to Time Capsule (at least I could before I started futzing with my setup while on the road)
    here's what I've done so far:
    Reset SMC
    Zapped PRAM
    Reduced MTU to 1300
    Set hotspot to 802.11g only
    Set IPv6 to Local-link only
    Set up a new user account, no connection there either
    Repair disk
    Repair disk permissions
    Removed WiFi in networking control panel and re-add.
    Remove the network from control panel AND remove keys from Keychain
    What I have not done but will try later:
    Reinstall ML
    Disable WMM
    Observations:
    ML seems to think there is a connection to the wi-fi, but it can never get an IP address
    Using a static IP on the network doesn't help the problem
    My hotspot never really registers the MBA as a connection

    Tell you what worked for me .. finally.
    Had two Apple technicians on the case - over the phone. Have to say, those guys are awesome! - with patience of saints! But to the point! As there was nothing obviously wrong with operating system, they promised to call me back the following day but suggested talking to my Internet Service Provider about the router (D-Link router). The ISP remoted to my iMac and logged into router site and changed channel selection from automatic to manual. He chose channel 13, and suddenly my MBA connected and has been connecting smoothly ever since. The reasons I had problems was that there was over 10 available wi-fi networks in my flat, some of which showed as having stronger signal than my own. The ISP guy told me this, increasingly, becomes and issue, especially in blocks of flats - the ether is  filled with wi-fi networks to the point of saturation. He also said, his choice of channel 13 was just a fluke and it might turn out I'd have to change it again. 
    So, although the problem is now solved, there still remains this one nagging question: Why did the wi-fi connectivity zonked right after Mountain Lion upgrade?

  • Yet another active directory problem

    Hi,
    I'm trying to bind a few Macs in my Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain, they're the first that comme with Lion 10.7.2 out of the box. I'va had my share of problems with AD binding of Macs, but I already have a lot of 10.6.8 Macs, and a few other that got upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 without much problems and those work fine with my AD.
    That, of course, couldn't last and I now have a new problemes with my 10.7.2 Macs. The binding process in itself seems to work fine, I've got the green light in front of my AD domain and I can log with my AD accounts on my Macs. The problem start when I try to access the directory utility to change the default settings for "active directory" (any settings will do, create mobile acount for example) : this creates another AD binding in "network account server", I can still login with my ad accounts but none of the settings I set in the directory utility are effective.
    Both of those AD binding are shown with a green light, but the second one has a comment stating that it is not present in the auth scope rules. My AD DNS domain name is something like "domainname.com" (no .local), but the short netbios name is something like "dom" : the original AD binding on my 10.7.2 Macs is "dom", and the one created after I change some settings is "domainname". On my other Lion or SL Macs correctly joined to my domain, the domain only appears with the name "domainname" : it seems that for some reason Lion is now troubled by the fact that my netbios name is not the dns name minus the extension...
    If I unbind one of my correctly working upgraded 10.7.2 Macs, it exhibits the same issue when I try to rebind it.
    Does anyone else has a similar AD configuration, and does it work with 10.7.2 ? Does anyone has any idea of how to work around it ?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    I have experienced the same problem with Macs in my Windows environment. I have found a work-around for it, but it is a little bit tedious. What I have found is that if you reinstall Lion (10.7 or 10.7.1) and bind it to the domain before patching to 10.7.2 it will bind correctly with only one entry in the network account server dialog. From there you can updagte to 10.7.2 and it will work correctly. There is a catch, though. If for any reason you need to unbind the machine from the domain, you will run into the same problem when you try to bind it again. I know it is not much of a fix, but it is what I have been doing to get around the problem. I hope this helps you out.
    Regards

  • Do i have a virus, or is it just Mountain Lion teething problems?

    Ever since i upgraded to Mountain Lion, it has impressed me, but also shocked me. It has some really useful features, and looks beautiful, but i cant help wondering if Apple is loosing it's touch, when it behaves like Windows Vista. The first problem was that it randomly kept restarting whilst in sleep, whick causes lots of problems. That has stopped now, but the are even worse problems. Web based application ofthen crash and are unresponsive, and it denies the existance of my Air port, which it is connected to, which keeps all the backups. Also, I recently noticed a Java DMG in Disk utility, but it wasn't in finder, when i looked, so i ejected it using disk utility. These are all tell tale signs of a virus, however, it also claims that the bootcamp partition doesn't exist, (yet i can still boot from it, and use windows), and also it told me that it couldn't eject Macintosh HD, because itunes was using it. Why would I ask my best computer to commit suicide? Also, when i connect my portable hard drive to it, it doesnt show up, but if i connect it in Windows or on another Mac, it works fine. So, it's either a virus, a reliability issue in Mountain Lion, Please help.

    You don't have a "virus." That's the Windows way of thinking. You have a misconfigured system. What exactly happens when web-based applications crash?

  • Many Lion Server Problems

    I think I have run into most of the Lion Server issues mentioned so far and perhaps a few self inflicted new ones.
    1) Upgrade from Snow Leopard worked except the migration failed.  Naturally I did not have a backup of the server configuration.
    2) Manual configuration has many problems related to the machine name.  I was using a linux box for DNS and a private LAN DNS name space.  My router is configured to forward many services to my OSX Server box.  Somehow I could not configure Lion Mail to operate.  The machine name, Internet name, local internet name, etc. are very confusing and different things happen depending upon using Server or Server Admin.  In Snow Leopard I could use a command line utility to set the return mail address to my MX record but under Lion I had to eliminate the private LAN name space, configure Lion to be the DNS before I could get e-mail to operate correctly from both IMAP and WEB mail.
    3) Once you attempt to use Open Directory the only way to correct a failed configuration is to re-install from scratch.
    4) If LDAP and the Password process fail to launch then they ping on/off every 10 seconds forever.  Only a re-install from scratch is the fix.  When this happens it appears that the permissions on the boot drive are hopelessly broken.  I do not mess with the permissions but now I am pondering a nightly permissions repair script.
    5) Using self signed certificates seems to cause many problems.  If I use them for the mail server everything is OK.  If I use them for Open Directory I cannot seem to get the other systems to connect.
    6) Under Snow Leopard I could see all users and their pictures on the remote Mac's.  I can't find this on Lion.
    7) Open Directory quit after a week of operation requiring a clean install from my backup.  I turned off Reserve Server Resources.  I hope this helps.
    8) Timeouts on Lion seem to be infinite.  Once one application falls into a timeout you eventually must power cycle the whole machine.
    9) The first time a user users mail I have to force kill it and restart before it performs the initial configuration.  This has happened 3 times so far.
    10) Manually editing user permissions from Finder within the Admin account (i.e. correcting my old user directories to match my new user ID's) is an exercise in futility.  Using the command line seems to be the only reliable way.
    11) I still cannot get profiles to work but I am afraid to try because the server seems to fragile.
    12) Carbon Copy Cloner is a required tool with Lion.  As soon as you have something working, make a fresh backup so you do not have to redownload everything.  I now make a nightly backup of the boot drive with CCC and cron.
    13) Some settings only take affect on a reboot, when you are making/testing changes this causes an interesting phase delay between making a change and observing an effect.
    My system is a Mac Mini with 8GB and 24TB of RAID storage on Firewire.
    It hosts home directories, e-mail, wiki's, etc for my wife & kids.  All data is on the Mini so the other macs at home are bare except for OS and Apps.
    This upgrade has caused more trouble than all other system upgrades I have ever done.  It is making me think seriously about making another stab at LDAP/OD on Linux for my home server.

    You might want to take a look at the much more functional AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion on a "test" Mac to see if that works better for you. Oddly, 5.6 was released on the same day as AirPort Utility 6.0.
    You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on a Mac (You cannot delete 6.0).

  • Macbook Core 2 duo -  lion install problems.

    I picked up a used white Macbook Core 2 Duo (2007) recently.  The person I purchased it from installed a new 60GB SSD drive and 4GB of ram and put Lion on the machine.   The computer booted fine for the first 4 times, and then on the 5th time it said "Installing OS X" and then said there was an problem with the install????    The computer was working fine before all this happened.  Now it won't boot.... BTW I did not do any any updates.
    We removed and tested the SSD drive... it appears to be fine.
    My other problem is that the person who sold the computer to me did not give me original OS disk... is it possible that the OS he used is corrupted?  But then, why would it work fine and then give me the error message after the 5th boot? 
    Is the problem because I am using an SSD? ... but still makes no sence considering it was running fine before the 5th boot! 
    Please help, I am looking at purchasing my own copy of Lion and installing it but will this work without having the original Disks?
    Thanks!
    (P.S.  When it did work, the Macbook with the SSD and Lion ran dramatically faster than my 2009 15" Macbook Pro.!)

    Thanks everyone for their help... it was another bad disk!
    I returned the OCZ HD and replaced it with an Intel SSD... The thing has been running spectacular now!  It out performs my Macbook Pro (speed)!
    FYI. 
    I did some digging and on the OCZ forums there has been A LOT of similar complaints regarding the HD failing in the same way mine did... when I took it back for a refund to the store I purchased it from, the tech said that they have been getting a lot of returns on that specific manufactures SSD's... and not just the entry level ones.
    Thanks again!

  • Lion/iMac problem for real experts!

    I have some bad trouble with my iMac 10.7 after installing Lion.
    First Lion (obviously) didn't install right. Mac OS X Programms (iCal, Safari, Mail, Softwareupdate et cetera) didn't work and crashed right after start.
    I decided to do a Recovery HD reinstall of Lion. The download went quite well it just didn't reinstall Lion.
    So for the next step I decided to save my data (Time machine also crashed so I did it manual) and formate my Mac HD out off the recovery HD to install Lion on the system.
    After doing that I tried the known way of installing Lion off the HD recovery window but it didnt install LIon again! Then I decided to reinstall Snow leopard but the mac ejects the install DVD immediatley so I cant do that.
    After starting the Mac it automatically goes into Revovery HD because there is nothing on the Hard Drive.
    I think my last chance now is to get the Mac back to factory settings, but I don't know how to do that.
    Anyone got a clue what to do wiith my problem? I am desperate because I didn't plan on killig my Mac with Lion!
    Hardware: iMac 21,5", 3,06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM

    I think doing a fresh reinstall would be the wise way to go. However the reason most people have problems installing or updating their OS is if there was a prior problem. So my recommendation would be once your have reinstalled Snow Leopard to make sure it's running perfectly before re-attempting to install Lion.
    In order to start over you will need a back up of your Snow Leopard system, this should be on your Time Machine Backup or Bootable Clone. This will have all  your data files you will need. Just another heads up, always, Always, ALWAYS backup prior to any system update!!!! Things can and do go wrong.
    Assuming you have a viable backup then insert either the original Snow Leopard Install Disc that shipped with your computer or the SL upgrade DVD you purchased. Then restart the machine while holding down the Option key, choose the Install Disc and then choose  your language. Then click the Utilities menu and open Disk Utilities. In Disk Utilities select  your internal HD on the left pane then click the Erase tab. Ensure Format is set to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then click Erase. This will totally wipe your HD clean and will take a couple of minutes probably. After the HD has been wiped clean then exit DU and continue with the Install of Snow Leopard following the on-screen prompts. When it asks if you migrating from another Mac select yes and follow the prompts to restore from your backup. After the Installation has been done then navigate to 10.6.8 Update Combo and install the Combo Update. After that has run then run Software Update to ensure everything else is up-to-date. Finally after this is installed and is running smoothly then re-attempt to install Lion.
    NOTE: With any update to OS X it's smart to:
    a) BACKUP first !!!!!!!
    b) Disconnect all peripherals except the keyboard and mouse
    c) Repair Disk Permissions prior to and after the update.

  • Lion update problem

    I updated my iMac without a problem to Lion.  I went to updated my wife's MacBook Pro.  I downed Lion from the app store.  I was asked for my password.  Then the install disappeared and I was back to the Snow Leopard desktop.  I went back to the App store but the store indicates that Lion is installed and won't let me reinstall.  I checked and I am still running Leopard.

    Did you oprion-click the 'Tab"?
    I located the installer in the application folder and clicked on it.  Its appears to be installing as I reply ( on another computer ).
    Cheers
    Great!
