Casio Keyboard that will not connect to Garage Band

Hi Everyone!
     I have a Casio CTK- 496 keyboard that I am trying to connect into Garage band '11.  It recognizes that I have inputed a Midi device, but when I try to play the piano in garage band it does not work.  I dont know what to do! Can someone please please help me!! Thanks so much!

The Keyboard is connected to my computer though a midi to USB cable.
And that is in a midi-out plug?
You have selected a Software instrument track, when you are playing the piano? What instrument have you selected? Which octave are using on the keyboard?
Sometimes GarageBand will not play the sound at first, unless you record to the track at least once. Do you see notes in the Track editor for the track appearing, when you press the record button, before you start playing?
To check, if GarageBand is reading your keyboard at all, I'd first try to record to test track, that you can delete later. Show the Track editor while playing.
Also show the Musical Typing Window (⇧⌘K). That should mimic the keys, that you are pressing on your keybord. This way you will see what GarageBAnd is reading from the midi.
If GarageBand reads the notes, but jyou just can't hear anything, set all volume sliders to maximum, try a different instrument, try a different octave.

  • I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect

    I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect. The mouse is working fine but the keyboard won't. I have tried pressing the blue connect button on the back of the keyboard.

    Hi,
    There are a couple of quick things to check-
    Make sure that the batteries are good (I'd suggest trying a fresh set) and make sure that they are inserted correctly.
    Has the keyboard ever worked?
    Thanks,

  • I have a 3rd Generation iPod that will not connect to Home Wi-Fi- keeps dismissing- saying unable to connect.

    I have a 3rd Generation iPod that will NOT connect to our internet connection at home. Message on screen keeps saying it is 'unable' to connect. Yes I have already reset to default factory settings, No we do not have our service encrypted or password protected, anyone else have any other viable suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Soundtrack Pro, with Logic Studio. app will not work, while Garage Band is present on my iMac?

    Still new to Logic Pro. Got the Soundtrack Pro when i bought the Logic Studio. am i to understand that this app will not work, while Garage Band is present on my iMac?
    if this is true, i'd welcome any suggestions.  do i have to delete GarageBand on current machine which has Logic Pro?
    appreciate any help
    thanks,

    My MacPro w/ OSX 10.6.8 runs GarageBand, SoundtrackPro and Logic 9 (Express) without issues.
    Everything was installed fresh - ie no overwrite OS upgrades and no app version overwrite upgrades.
    Just so we are clear - an UPGRADE would be from OSX 5 to 6 or from Logic 8 to 9 and involves a purchase. UPDATES are those decimal increments - 10.6.7 to 10.6.8  or Logic 9.1.3 to 9.1.6 that are free.
    Sometimes the sequence of installs can make a difference.
    Good luck,

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007) will not connect

    I just got an Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007 aluminum) and it will not connect to any computer that I have tried it on. This is at my work, so I have multiple machines to try it on. I tried it on a couple MacBook Pro's, and several different Mini's.
    When I start the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select "Keyboard" and click continue, it does not find anything. ( http://screencast.com/t/Pev6sLaH )
    If I then turn the keyboard off and then back on it will find it. So I click continue so that it can pair with is and it fails, saying it was not discoverable. ( http://screencast.com/t/D0SNKMDR )
    If I turn if off and then back on while it is trying to pair, that does not help.
    Is the keyboard just DOA? Or am I missing something? I have read the users manual, searched the Apple support KB, and Googled for an answer but found nothing. I am thinking it might just be a bad keyboard but wanted to check here first.

    Just to follow up as of today the key board is now paired.
    Go figure why one day it will not work then the next day it will.
    After reading many of the comments here there must be some sort of software issue with Snow Leopard.

  • We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

    We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
    When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
    We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

    What is your Wireless Security setting on the network?  Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings.  I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
    Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
    EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

  • Airport Express that will not connect to broadband

    We recently moved to China. I have tried everything I know and received some help from Apple telephone service and a local source but the Express will not work correctly with the incoming signal. I can hook my Powerbook G4 up to the incoming signal via ppoe with a password and I got the Express to work through a PC in the room acting as a server and using a hub, sort of. With the server I could get on Yahoo but nothing else will/would load. I tried the DNS server number but this did not help with the Express loading pages while using the PC server and hub. I had tried hard reset onthe Express a few times to no avail, though this was needed for it to work at all. I get a good signal from the Express and I get the green lock light but I do not get a true connection to the web.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have two macs and really need the wireless feed for the work we are doing at Jishou University.

    I'll answer your question here - but if you want to continue this discussion please start a brand new discussion topic of your own. Your problem has very little in common with that of John Amato - just because the symptoms are "it doesn't work!" doesn't mean the problem is the same.
    Yes, a Linksys wireless router will work perfectly with Macs equipped with an Airport card.
    Since you installed an Airport card into your eMac - does your eMac now have an Airport menu item (the fan shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, click on the Airport menu - and a list of in-range wireless networks will appear. Click on the name of your Linksys router's wireless network to connect to it. If your Linksys router is protected with a wireless security protocol and password, your Mac will now prompt you to enter the password - and to help you any further beyond this point I will need to have you tell us what protocol (WEP or WPA) you are using.
    If your eMac:
    - doesn't have an Airport card menu, then tell us exactly what model of eMac you are using
    - doesn't show your Linksys router's name when you click on the Airport menu, recheck the Airport card installation inside your eMac and make sure you plugged the antenna cable connector into its socket on the Airport card AND you fully inserted that connector (which takes a fair bit of force).

  • I have an Apple wireless keyboard that will not turn on, even with new batteries.  The contacts seem fine.  What could be the problem?

    My wireless keyboard will not turn on despite new batteries.  It is about 8 years old. The contacts seem to be good.  What could be the problem?

    Hi elljohnson,
    It is important when replacing discharged batteries in the Apple Wireless Keyboard to make sure the new batteries are oriented correctly. See this article for directions -

  • How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

    Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

  • Files will not open in garage band

    Hey guys, I recently bought a new Macbook Pro (10.7.3) It's past it's 90 day warranty period. I just started using Garage Band to record some audio with music bed.
    I opened a new project, began setting my levels and effects etc "saved it" ready to start recording. I opened my files folder for new project, clicked on the saved file, then a message came up saying "the file couldn't be opened"
    I tried this a number of times, same thing happened - except twice when it did open once but then froze again.
    Over all I keep getting the message "the file couldn't be opened"
    Any suggestions on how to sort this? Thanks - Cheers

    Oh yes, I forgot...
    My apologies for hijacking this thread.
    More info:  It seems on other users of this computer (my wife's account for example) GB opens and operates fine. So it seems the problem is user specific.  I'm the admin of the computer.
    Also, not sure if it's relevant, but I have a Bootcamp Windows partition as well.  Although I don't think it has anything to do with the issue at hand.
    That's all the info I have.
    Good Luck to all of us with this problem!

  • I have PowerPC G5 that runs 10.4.11 that will not connect to the internet

    I have a G5 Power PC that a few weeks back said "two compters share IP adress" or something similar.  Since then no matter what I try in network settings I cannot get this thing to see my internet connection!  It is so frustrating and I do not understand it.  I have been to every post there is and have tried many, many things.  Does anyone know what might be going wrong??

  • I have a Macbook and an external display that will not connect.

    I bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor from Apple but the Detect Displays under system set up does not recognize my external display.  The Mini Display port doesn't fit into the port on my Macbook with the Display printed above it but into "Y" port.  The picture on the package for the adaptor matches the ends of the adaptor, but they don't seem to fit where they should.
    Is that the issue or is there something else?

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod that will not connect. I keep getting an error message that says "USB Device Not Recognized".  I have tried 3 seperate cables and none of them are working.  Please help!

    It keeps telling me that one of the USB devices for this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.  I have tried all of the ports and still am not having any luck.  I have purchased 3 brand new cables and none of them are working.  I have tried to update the driver but it says I am using the most up to date.  I have tried to reset the Ipod by holding the center button and menu button until the apple appears.  I am not sure what else to try.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  My computer is Windows Vista!

    Hello butterflygirlie,
    Have you tried uninstalling the driver for your iPod from within Device Manager?  After uninstalling it, go ahead and unplug your iPod and plug it back in.  Doing so should cause your system to locate the proper driver for it.
