Can't get MIDI In working!

I'm a Logic newbie. I searched for "MIDI In" but the search engine finds all occurrences of MIDI so I apologize if this has been asked.
I can't solve a problem interfacing my Kurzweil K2600 through a M-Audio Midiman 2x2 into Logic 9.1.1. I was thinking it was a problem with the Midiman interface but I returned the one that I thought was faulty but the replacement didn't solve it!
Apple Audio MIDI Setup correctly sees the interface. I have Added the Kurzweil as a device and connected the cables to the correct Port with the correct MIDI Transmit and Receive channels. But I still don't get the MIDI data activity light on the interface flashing. Keyboard is set to MIDI.
I tested the MIDI out of the Kurzweil with the same cable with an ancient Opcode Studio 3 and its MIDI activity lights flash when I press keys so I don't think it could be the Kurzweil or the cable!
I guess my question is: Is there something I have to do in Logic to get the midisport interface to receive MIDI In from my Kurzweil?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm going nuts!

Hi Marc,
MIDI out of the kurzweil is connected to MIDI in of the midisport interface - MIDI into the kurzweil is connected to MIDI out of the midisport interface.
Yes I've tried to play virtual instruments in Logic and there is no MIDI In activity in the Logic transport window.
Thing is, the Test Setup function of the Audio MIDI Setup application fails to show MIDI input from the Kurzweil to the MIDI interface. So I guess this problem precedes Logic! This is my first time out using the Audio MIDI Setup application so I suppose I may have missed something there.
Here is an overview of what I did in Audio MIDI Setup:
I open up the Audio MIDI Setup application and the midisport interface is automatically displayed. I click on Add Device to add the Kurzweil. I notice that there is a selection list pulldown for Manufacturer and Model but there are no items in those lists to select from (is this normal?). So I manually enter the stuff. I leave all the Transmit and Receive channels selected since I'm just going to get this one device (the Kurzweil) running. Then I connect the virtual wires from the Kurzweil device icon to the midisport device icon and click Test Setup. Clicking the down arrow on the midisport device icon DOES make the activity light on the actual midisport interface flash. However, keypresses on the Kurzweil do not make the up arrow highlight on the midisport device icon. Does that sound like I've missed anything?
Since I'm a Logic newbie may I assume that until I get this problem with the MIDI In solved, I might as well forget about Logic for the moment? Is there any reason why Logic has to be running to do this Audio MIDI Setup and test it? Is there any reason I would have to have Logic running to get the MIDI Ins of the midisport interface from working?
Man, this is a pain. I wish Apple made a damned MIDI interface for Logic!!!!
Any ideas are GREATLY appreciated. Thanks - Rick

Can't get audio to work on my Panasonic Plasma smart TV when I connect a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital to my mid 2009 MacBook pro?

My MAc book pro 5.5 is mid 2009, Processor speed 2.26 GHZ MacOS X VERSION 10.68 Leopard. My Tv is a Panasonic Plasma smart TV TC-P50ST60. I ordered from Amazon a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital cable meant for Macbook pro 2009 forward. I changed the settings on both TV and Mac but I still can't get audio to work on TV. I believe my Mac can't see the audio output from the TV. Any advice with step by step instructions on how to fix it? could it be they sent me defective cables? Thank You for your help.

When I spoke with Apple I made sure I told them that my Macbook Pro was Mid 2009 and he ensured me again that those to cords will work. I realize that with the newer models it does put through both sound and audio but because of my model I don't think it does obviously because I have played with both Sound on my computer and Sound on the TV and nothing works. Sometime Apple can be good but man some people lol he even told me he verified my computer model on the computer and that's what came up.
So new question would be what kind of cable would I be looking for to get audio? Anyone before I call back to Apple and see what they say hahah

Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for GarageBand. I downloaded a trial version of reMIDI, which enables MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated, but can't get it to work in Garageband. How do I set it up?

Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for Garageband ('08)? The program allows MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated. I have a trial version, but can't get it to work in Garageband. Wonder how to set it up.

Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

How do I get MIDI to work with individual plug-ins?

I'm using Logic Studio/Pro 8.02. I have Guitar Rig 4 loaded as an AUi, mono audio input, stereo output & MIDI on Channel 16. I'm using a Behringer FCB1010 as my MIDI controller. I can't seem to figure out how to (of if I can) get the FCB to control the MIDI of Guitar Rig. I have to admit, I'm a bit confused as to how the MIDI controllers & such work in Logic. I don't really see any way to set them up.
I'm basically trying to get the stomp boxes in Guitar Rig to work. I've got it working fine as a standalone & in other DAW (Reaper), but I can't get it to work in Logic Pro. WILL IT??? Any help would be most appreciated. THANKS!

Maybe my question wasn't clear. I know GR4 params, I set them up myself. It is working as a standalone & in other apps, but just not in Logic. I just can't get Logic to let the MIDI data go to GR4. It seems that Logic also has some preset controllers too. For example, CC31 is set to grab reverb & CC32 gets Delay. I have no idea where they're set, but I'm using them for my GR4 setup & Logic keeps grabbing them.
Does anyone know where the 'default' CC settings are set in Logic? I can't find them. Thanks for any help I can get.

Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage.
I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?

The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

My iPhone 5 went black. I tried pushing the on/off button and the circle button at the same time. It worked once and then it happened again and I can't get it to work.

Iphone 5 went black. Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time. Worked yesterday and then did it again today. Can't get it to work.

You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I would start with:
