Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
And driver? OS X driver?

HT4623 What is happening with iMessage on iOS 7? For the second night running I can't communicate with anyone with an iPhone

What is happening with iMessage? For the 2nd night running I can't communicate with any friends or family with iPhones

It is a known issue. Reboot your phone and it should work. I had the same issue and once I rebooted it worked fine. Tell your other iphone friends to reboot as well.

Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

I am new to IPAD and I want o use facetime, how can I use it to communicate with my mac at home, do I need to create another account with a different email account

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

IChat can't communicate with my AIM account

Hi, every time i try go to to my ichat it automatically logs me out, and when i try to log back in, it says "iChat can't communicate with the AIM account 'aforever0203' and The AIM server has temporarily limited your account due to too much activity. Try again in a few minutes" This has been happening for days, please help!

HI,
Go here https://settings.aim.com/
Can you sign in there ?
This will not work for newer @me.com and @icloud.com IDs issued under iCloud ( I notice there are at least 2 Me Toos clicked)
With Apple IDs there have been issues over the last few months about accounts getting Suspended when people have travelled to foreign lands.
The "normal" fix with AIM names is to Change the Password but obviously changing the Apple Passwords cannot be seen by AIM.
In that case you need This link about Suspended accounts and you need to use the TOS General email address.
(You need to explain very carefully that you have an Apple ID and that AIM cannot see any Password Change and that they will have to reset the account manually - some support staff seem not to know that Apple have an agreement that Apple IDs are also AIM Valid Names)
If it is a plain AIM name a Password reset should correct the issue.

Link 1.2.0 says "can't communicate with device"

Hi guys, my z10 running the official version of 10.2.1.537 can't connect to my blackberry link anymore. I update the link and since then, hasn't been working. I uninstalled it and re-installed but still nothing. I get the message on it saying "can't communicate with device" and that i should do a restore back to factory settings. Does anyone know what to do to solve this issue without having to restore?

There is not anything specific for Mac, did you at least try the below.
Launch BlackBerry Link.
Connect the BlackBerry 10 smartphone to the computer.
Note: The following messages should be displayed:BlackBerry Link cannot communicate with the connected device.
Power the BlackBerry 10 smartphone off and then on again.
When prompted again with the error (BlackBerry Link cannot communicate with the connected device.), ignore the warning message, however, do not dismiss or cancel it. Allow the smartphone to fully boot up to the home screen.
After 3-5 minutes the driver should install successfully and allow BlackBerry Link to continue the device setup.
The only other possible resolution is to remove the "BlackBerry Smartphone Drivers" reboot Mac and phone then reconnect phone to Mac.

Ichat can't communicate with google talk account

hey there, I keep getting the following error from my ichat; "Ichat can't communicate with google talk account Gmail." Not sure why I am getting this. My ichat has worked fine in the past. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've already gone into settings and deleted the ichat account and re-installed it. that didn't work...
please and thank you!

HI,
Did you change the password at Google and forget to do it in iChat ?
Is Talk still Enabled at your Google Account Settings ?
In re-adding the account you ar using the "right" ending (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) ?
Try deleting com.apple.ichat.Jabber.com
You will need to do this in the Finder
Use the Go Menu.
Hold th ALT key and select th Library
Open Preferences
Find the .plist and Drag to Trash
Restart iChat.

IChat can't communicate with AIM account

iChat can't communicate with AIM account - I've looked at ALL threads and no success to troubleshooting
Looked into this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3558055?tstart=0
I've tried changing my Port number - FAIL
I tried restarting and deleting account - FAIL
Tried creating a new account - FAIL, says there's an error
Tried going through Go > Finder > Library > Preferences to delete the com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist - FAIL, couldn't find in the folder either
Tried going through keychains and permissions - FAIL
I've had the same account for over 13 years (maybe that's why, ha!) and I did nothing to change any settings. Please help! Work depends on it!

Hi,
If it is an AIM name (i.e. Registered at AIM) then there seems to be a rush of Suspended Accounts recently.
Some have found that touring abroad seems to be the latest reason.
You then need to go to the Suspended Account Help Page and use the TOS General Email link.
If you have an @Mac.com name that is of course a Valid AIM Screen Name as well as an Apple ID means that the password has to be changed at Apple.
However the AIM server cannot tell that this has been done.
One person reported recently that the person they contacted via the TOSGeneral email link did not seem to know about the agreement with Apple that AIM has and that they had to change the "Flagging" on the account at their end.
Although a "Hacking" of an AIM account is not unheard of it is rare.
The TOS General link is still the best route I know of on that score.

I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with it any more. I don't think I can upgrade the Spin Doctor without buying a new program. Is there a way to undo the last iTunes update?

I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with iTunes, specifically, I can't get music files to go over to iTunes. Spin Doctor gives me a message indicating that iTunes isn't working properly.
I am using iTunes 9.1.1(12) and Spin Doctor 3.1.1.304t. I have investigated upgrading the Spin Doctor but I think too much time has passed and the version available are too far advanced.
Any ideas? Can I undo the iTunes upgrade? Is there a website that I can go to to get the upgrade for my Spin Doctor?
Thanks.
Mary

If your iMac is an Intel CPU model, you can upgrade the OS to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Then use software update to update 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10,6.8.
Then you can run the latest iTunes to sync your iPad running iOS 6
You can purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Ask for retail software sales and purchase a copy of 10.6 for $19.99 plus shipping.

Computer Can't Communicate With Printer

Hi,
After installing Win 8.1 on two different computers, both have the same printing problem.
The first problem that appears is "Bidirectional Support" must be enabled... It was enabled in Win 8 prior to the upgrade...
It took awhile to figure out how to enable it, as after every attempt to check the box, the check would disappear after closing and reopening the window.
It turns out that this won't work with the printer connected. After disconnecting the printer the setting will stick, and when the printer is reconnected it stays that way...
Unfortunately this doesn't resolve the problem... Now I get the error that the computer "Can't Communicate With The Printer"
Attempts to reinstall the software\drivers have been for the most part useless... Even after removing the printer in Devices and Printers and uninstalling the software\drivers, the Driver installer insists that the drivers are still installed and will only
"Update" them, or "Install Another Copy"... neither of which resolves the problem...
On one occasion, I was able to get a complete install, but only after doing a search through the Registry and Deleting everything that came up concerning the printer... This still didn't resolve the problem.
On one machine, after doing this, the Print Spooler would hang and run the CPU at 50% indefinitely. After playing around awhile, I found that if I turned off the Print Spooler in "Services" while it was doing this, and then restart it, the file
would actually print properly...
I have checked the settings in Windows Firewall, and everything for the printer is "Allowed". I even turned the Firewall off to no effect...
This is a Lexmark X5340 USB inkjet printer that works perfectly on the same machines when running Win 7 or Win 8 with all the same connections, software, drivers, and etc....
Is there something different with Win 8.1 than Win 8 concerning printers?

Hi,
I wanted to let you know that I've stumbled upon a way to get the Lexmark software\drivers to reinstall on the Win 8 to 8.1 Upgrade...
It has to do with the Print Spooler interfering with the uninstall\reinstall process. I had read about a recommendation to turn off the Print Spooler before uninstalling the software quite some time ago, and I had tried that, but it didn't work. Here are
the tricks to get it to work if it isn't too late for you.
Note: Bidirectional Support is needed, and for some reason the upgrade process turns it off. This may also be related to the Print Spooler....
1) Turn on and hook up your printer... This needs to be done just this one time to get it to show up in Devices and Printers.... Otherwise, all I get with my machine is the Lexmark Fax, and as a result, you can't "Remove" the printer.
2) Once the printer is visible in Devices and Printers, unhook it..
3) "REMOVE" the Lexmark Printer and Lexmark Fax (if you have one) in Devices and Printers.
4) Stop the Print Spooler in "Services"
5) Uninstall the software\drivers... In the process of doing this, I got a popup Security message from Windows Firewall concerning "Allowing" Printer Communication... I selected "Allow".
6) At the prompt from the Lexmark uninstaller, Reboot.
7) After rebooting, stop the Print Spooler again.
8) Reinstall software\drivers... I used both XP SP3 and Vista Compatibility Mode on different attempts, and both worked... Hook the printer back up when prompted by the installer.
9) Unhook the printer again and reboot. Bidirectional Support must be Enabled, and the setting won't stick if the printer is hooked up.. You need to reboot to clear things up before the next step.
10) Enable Bidirectional Support and Reboot. To do this, go to Devices and Printers and select "Printer Properties" and then the "PORTS" tab... The check box is near the bottom.
11) Set any Printer Preferences you use, if any, and it's ready to go.
I just noticed that when I right click on the Lexmark Preferences, Properties, etc., it is showing two of them for some reason. I don't remember that happening the first time I tried this, but I might have missed it.
I'll need to investigate that a bit.
EDIT... It seems the second printer doesn't show up until after Enabling Bidirectional Support...
I guess that makes a little bit of sense... two printers for two directions.
Thanks for the info. I found it was necessary to change the print spooler. You will also need to set another service that is used during printing that provides screen interaction for the print spooler. Make both of them automatic.

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
Good Luck.

Device Control doesn't show Firewire & I can't communicate with my AJA IO

Device Control doesn't show Firewire & I can't communicate with my AJA IO

I've seen one other post about this and I've tried the responses to it: trash prefs, rebuild permissions, reboot the computer (let it rest and uplug), trash quicktime receipts and reinstall, uninstall AJA software and reinstall.
The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling my OS.
I'm on FCP HD.
I can capture and print to tape as an uncontrollable device. But I need to edit to tape tomorrow using the RS-422 to my digibeta deck via the AJA IO. It has worked in the recent past (last month), but in the past two weeks I can't control my deck.
Also, I get the message "This computer does not have any serial ports required by this protocol" when I try to set up a new RS-422 AV device control setting.
Help!

Jerry, I can't thank you enough. I still have a few hairs left on my head thanks to you.
I downgraded my AJA firmware and that did the trick.
I had been on the phone with AJA last week tryingto fix this problem and we had tried everything except that. You know, the trash quicktime receipts, trash prefs, hard re-boot, etc.
They were stumped and finally decided it was a Mac problem not an AJA problem. Ha! (Very nice folks though.)
Your's was an answer I didn't find anywhere else in all my searching of forums.
Thanks again!
