'error synchronizing audio to midi" trouble with MACBOOK

I cant get logic running smoothly, with only ultrabeat and a few plug ins opened the trouble starts with 'error synchronizing audio to midi"
I get pops and clicks and delays in the sound when i use logic, i also have the random shutdown problem and the cpu whine.
Ive already tried all solutions of this list
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304113
I use an RME Fireface 400, but the trouble also occurs with the onboard soundcard.

Have you tried increasing your audio buffer size within Logic?
Have you installed Pro Apps tool for Logic?
Have you got the latest drivers and firmware installed for your Fireface 400?
It would help if you included in your forum profile the specification of your Mac as well!

Help with "Error syncing Audio and Midi" message. How to fix?

Hi,
I'm running Logic Pro 7.1 on a G5 Dual 2.5 PowerMac. My audio interface is a Digidisign Digi002R, and my MIDI interface is a MOTU Fastlane. Up until a few days ago everything was working fine. I didn't install any new software or anything.
All of a sudden in any Logic session I open (new or saved) I get all kinds of artifacts that sound like they're associated with sample rate problems.
True to form, on playback after 4 or 5 seconds a message comes up telling me that there is an error syncing audio and midi. It tells me that a sample rate of 88209, or 88213, or 88207 (each time it's different) was detected, and that there is a conflict between Logic and my external device.
My Digi002R is set to 44.1, and Logic is set to 44.1 as well. I have no idea where this problem came from.
The only thing I do know is that I've been using the Peachtree Press Apple Pro Training Series to study for my Level 1 Logic certification. it comes with a CD with Logic sessions to use with the text. The CD comes with a Logic Epress Demo but I didn't download that as I've already got Logic Pro. I dragged those session files to my desktop, and the problem occured for the first time when iopened up that first session from the CD. After that, every single session has this problem and I have no idea how to fix it.
Sorry for the incredibly long message, but can anybody help?
Thanks

Hey,
Thanks. I appreciate the help, but I've tried all of that. I just don't get it. I've unplugged everything, I've shut down, powered down, relaunched everything a dozen times and the problem doesn't go away. I know that the problem is with Logic because the interface works perfectly fnie with everything else, from Pro Tools to iTunes.
I'm having Logic Pro 7.2 shipped to me so I'm hoping that installing that will reset everything, but until then I can't do anything in Logic.
Anybody ever encounter anything like this?

File plays fine, then I get "Error Syncing Audio and Midi"

Hi, I just installed my upgrade to Logic 9 from 8. When I play a file , it goes fine at first, then if I save it, a crackling sound takes over and I get a message like "Error syncing Audio and Midi". Saving the file is not the only thing that will cause this to occur but I can't pinpoint exactly what and when these other times happen.
I did some troubleshooting with an Apple Rep by phone the other day and it seemed we had it figured out that the problem was about bringing projects over from Logic 8 and opening them in Logic 9. The suggested solution was to export audio tracks from 8 and import them into 9 as a fresh project.
It then seemed that when I started a project from scratch in Logic 9, I had no problems. This no longer seems to hold water as a theory. The problem I'm having now is with a project I started fresh in Logic 9.
When the crackling sound starts, the play speed seems to slow down as if I were playing an old 78 on the wrong speed or something.
Also I can't bounce to make an Mp3 in Real time - that causes this crackling sound/speed issue to occur as well. When I try to bounce an Mp3 offline, it re-hashes the first Mp3 I did and I don't hear my changes even as I choose to replace the file. This is screwy,...really.
I appreciate any assistance or ideas on this.
Thanks, Frank B.

I was getting the same issue last night with a stereo track and one instance of Addictive Drums with just tom fills and a few crash cymbals in the sequence. I thought it might be a AD issue because I assigned a multi instrument to AD which is not necessary but I forgot that. I deleted the multi instrument and this seems like it solved it for me. I just ran the track and no Midi Audio sync errors or the crackling sound. Do you have any multi instruments in your setup?

Trouble with MacBook Pro finding AirPort networks

I recently bought a new (refurbished) MacBook Pro (15", 1.83GHz), to replace my old iBook, which was one of the early white models, circa 2001.
Everything about my new computer is wonderful, of course, except that every time I boot up, wake from sleep, or turn on the AirPort, it takes up to a full minute for the AirPort to find any open networks. This happens at school (where there are AirPort base stations all over the place), at home (where we have a Belkin router, and several neighbors have others), and at my parents' house (where they have a linksys router). It doesn't seem to matter whether the networks use encryption or not, nor how close or far I am from the nearest router. If I know the name of a nearby open network and type it in, I can get it, usually. On my old iBook, I had a little trouble with some of the networks at school sometimes, but never with this kind of delay across the board, and certainly never at home nor at my parents'.
Also, at home, when the the AirPort finally does find the available networks, it NEVER chooses my router first, even though it's the only one in the neighborhood that I listed under "Preferred Networks."
I've read some similar posts, dealing with problems with accessing encrypted networks, but nothing seemed to address my particular issue. It might be a defect with the AirPort or firmware, but I wanted to check, first.
(Oh, and I'm not a complete newbie, but tech-speak often goes over my head. Please keep it simple.)
Thanks!

This is how I fixed the problem on my MBP.
Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
Delete the folder SystemConfiguration
Go to System Prefrences > Network > Show+Network Port Configuration. Check Airport and Built-in Ethernet and make sure Airport is on the top of the list.
Reconfigure your wep passwords and it should work. Worked for me. Also, you will have to redo your power settings.

Mini DVI-to-Video Adapter troubles with MacBook

Hello,
I recently purchased a Mini DVI-to-Video Adapter (the one with Composite and S-Video output) to use with my MacBook to use my computer to watch movies on my TVs. The TVs are very late model, so they may not work, but when I plug the Adapter into my computer and then plug the Composite Video cord into my TV, the TV's picture is black and white and has four replications of the desktop. It is very fuzzy but the TV is clearly receiving some input from the desktop. Does anyone have any ideas of how to correct this, or is it just because the TVs are so old? Thanks for the help.
-Bill

Welcome to Apple Discussions, schumawm.
Most likely the wrong timing/resolution is being sent to the TV. If mirroring is turned on in Display preferences under the Arrangement tab, uncheck the mirror box to turn mirroring off. Then set the TV's resolution to 640 x 480 as a starting point. 640 x 480 may be all that an older TV is capable of.

Trouble with MacBook Pro To TV connection?

Having purchased a DVI to HDMI adapter and connected my MacBook Pro to my TV using this adapter and an expensive HDMI cable, I still cannot get a signal to my TV.
I have selected the correct input channel using my TV remote, but still get a 'No Signal' message from my TV. I have tried running through the the other inputs, just to make sure, but still no signal.
I have checked all of my cable connections and they are all okay.
Does anyone know what may be my problem?
I could really use some help!

Howdy needymacuser,
First I'd recommend trying another display and/or cable/adapter (if possible) to verify that there's no issue with either of those. If those check out or aren't an option, I'd recommend resetting your MacBook Pro's PRAM and SMC.
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.

Video Gaming troubles with MacBook and software updates.

I've got a question again about The Sims 2 for Macs. I've got a MacBook and have had it for almost a year now. I got the Sims 2 for it when I first got it and it has always worked perfectly on the computer. Well a few days ago, I ran a software update for the first time in a while and now the game won't work at all! When I double click to open the game, the CD drive doesn't even run. The icon bounces at the bottom of the screen for a minute then disappears.
The updates installed were for OS X 10.4.10, Security Update, QuickTime, Front Row, iTunes and an Audio Update. I don't think it's a coincidence that the game quit working as soon as I installed these updates. DOes anyone know which one could have caused it and/or is there a way to undo a software update without restoring the whole system?

Sorry, I cant help much, but this is the intel iMac forum. You may have more luck in the correct MacBook forum.

Error synchronizing Notes 8.x calendar with N70

When I synchronize Notes 8.0.1 calendar and N70 with PC Suite I get error message as follows:
"xyz.NSF
The ID file is locked by another process. Try again later."
Windows XP Pro
Service Pack 2
Version of PC Suite installed 7.0.9.2
Connection method - bluetooth

I was having this same issue when trying to subscribe to an ICS file on a web server. After lots of messing around with things, I discovered that the server was not sending the correct content type in it's response headers.
I added the custom mime type "text/calendar" for files ending in ".ICS" to the server's configuration (luckily this is a server I have control off) and it works fine for me now.
It looks like Calendar requires the mime type / content type to be:
Content-Type: text/calendar
You can check the content-type your server is providing in it's headers at the following site: http://urivalet.com/. Just paste the URL of the ICS file you are trying to subscribe to and scroll through the headers to see the value for "Content-Type". Let the server administrator know if it needs to be changed to text/calendar for *.ics files.
Good luck.

Trouble with Macbook Air to VGA display using miniplug.

I purchased a plug that fits into the digital output and has a VGA female plug on the other end. I have connected this with a VGA cable to a monitor.
I can see about half of the desktop (the default celestial stars picture) but no desktop Icons that display on my computer. Is there a special setting to allow the Macbook Air to output to a VGA monitor?
Thank you.

In the display settings you'll have to choose which monitor you want to be the primary one, the default is your MacBook Air's monitor is the default, so all the icons are visible on there and on your external monitor you can only see background or whatever windows you place there.
System Prefernces > Displays > Arangements and drag that little white rectangle on top of one of the screens to whichever monitor you want to be the "main" monitor.
Did this help?

Having trouble with macbook pro dock at the bottom of the screen

I have a 13'' macbook pro, and i now have 2 different docks at the bottom of my screen. One is functional and the other one is not. How to i get rid of one of the docks?

Please post the age of your MBP, IE what year is was made, IE what year Model is it. and also as above a image/picture of the screen (a Screen Shot may not do it if the second Dock is some type of Ghost entry).
Other then that you have some type of software corruption or hardware failure going on. There should never be a second Dock at the bottom of the screen. So there is No easy fix for this problem. It may be hardware and if so that hardware would need to be replaced. Or is could be software corruption and in that case a Wipe of the drive and reinstall may be needed.

Power troubles with MacBook Pro

My MacBook Pro has stopped charging. I've changed power supplies, but it's not working. Can anyone help?

Your post suggests that you have a new power adapter. If you purchased it from Apple, then it is warranted and should be replaced, assuming it is in the warranty period.
If you have access to another power adapter, try that. Have you checked the contacts of the MBP and the power adapter? Have you checked the battery condition?
Ciao.

Check that you downloaded all the latest system updates, it could be part of the known issue Apple fixed recently that your machine might not had the update installed.
