Garage Band won't work with Yamaha P250 Keyboard???? -- Help!!

I have a Yamaha P250 stage piano keyboard that I would like to be able to play and record into tracks on Garage Band with my MacBook Pro. The Tools software that came with the Yamaha P250 doesn't support the OS X 10.4.6 of the MacBook Pro. I downloaded free software from Yamaha: Generic USB driver- v1.0.1 (.SIT, 124 Kb, MAC OS X). But when I hook up the USB connection and try to record, --- nothing. My Mac does not register any input on "line-in" in the Apple system preferences.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Could it be there is something very simple I need to adjust? Do I need a different driver? Is it possible that Garage Band just can't work with the Yamaha P250?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Actually, I got a very helpful message from Yamaha directing me to a site that lists additional drivers. For a Yamaha P250 you have to go to the following website and then download USB-MIDI Driver for Mac OS X um110mx.zip. Here's the website:

I did this and it works just fine!

Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard, Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard

Hi everyone,
I am trying to get to the bottom of this mystery. "Italian Pro" is the keyboard I use almost all the time, and for some reason this zoom shortcut won't work. Another user assured me that "cmd-+" is the shortcut also in that keyboard. Mine doesn't work though. I have tried removing the keyboard and reapplying it. I've tried to use it on different browsers and different applications. I've even created another user and logged into that, installing the keyboard there. Nothing has worked, so can anyone suggest anything? What do I do next? (I know it doesn't seem like much but the issue really interferes with the flow of my things) Thank you!

Is Italian Pro
a. the keyboard, or,
b. the keyboard layout
you use all the time?

What zoom are you talking about?
The View > Zoom In command in Safari or Preview?
The Universal Access > Zoom In function?
The Zoom In command in some other app, eg, InDesign?
Some other Zoom entirely?
Another user assured me that "cmd-+" is the shortcut also in that keyboard.
If we're talking about (b) and (1), then this 'other user' (his initials wouldn't be TG, would it?) was right. My keyboard is US QWERTY, and, if I switch to Italian Pro, ⌘-+ works. However, as the 'other user' has already told you, to do ⌘-+ with the Italian Pro keylayout on the US QWERTY keyboard, you have to press simultaneously the keys labelled ⌘ and ] -- as you can easily see in Keyboard Viewer.

I have Windows 7, Mozilla older version won't stay without upgrading to Mozilla 5.0 Mozilla 5.0 won't work with Windows 7 please help

I have a new Dell, Windows 7. IE and Chrome work beautifully (I had to install these to get onto the Internet since Mozilla won't work). Older versions of Mozilla worked for a few seconds, but then the auto update kicked in (to 5.0). I even tried to stop the auto updates immediately after installing an earlier version, that didn't work either. Mozilla will not allow me to enter text, lets me enter a few letters then freezes. Please advise. Thank you, Mary

Hi Guys,
I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
(READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
'''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
- quick step guide for this:
select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
'''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
- AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
'''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
'''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
'''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .'''

Epson Perfection 1650 Scanner won't work with 10.7.5, help?

I am trying to use my EPSON PERFECTION 1650 scanner with my MacBook Pro, software version 10.7.5. The old driver does not work with Lion. I ran software update, with the scanner connected, and it did not come up with any new Epson software to install. Can anyone help me locate this driver? When I googled Epson driver for this operating system, it says I have to run software update on the Apple and it will automatically come up. But I have had no luck. Someone help please? Thanks, Chris

Hi,
As listed on Epson's site the drivers are available via Apple Software Update.
Ensure the scanner is powered on and directly connected to your Mac, then try following the steps below:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14551&BV_UseBVCooki e=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=OSF_M_X7
Now try opening the Image Capture application within the Applications folder and check if your scanner appears.
If the scanner cannot be located yet try restarting your Ma and check for any difference.
If the same still persists try resetting the printing system, then try adding the scanner again as listed on Epson's site.
You may reset the printing system as following:

Finally, if you still having issue getting the drivers from ASU try installing the package below and try scanning from Image Capture again:

IPod won't work with new computer - please help

When I bought my iPod, I had it hooked up with Computer #1. That went with my ex-husband in the divorce, so I no longer have that computer.
I now have my parents' old computer, Computer #2. My dad has an iPod that was originally used with this computer, but none of his songs or libraries are on Computer #2 anymore. The iTunes library is totally empty. I tried hooking up my iPod, and it said that my iPod was already associated with another computer. So I authorized Computer #2 to play my iPod songs, and that didn't work either. I cannot deauthorize computer #1 since I don't have it anymore. ITunes would not let me deauthorize both computers, like it said you could do once a year.
I am at a loss for what to do. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem!! I had my library on a computer on XP and now I have Vista and don't know how to transfer my Vista. If anyone can help please let me know!!!!!!

Apps from old icloud account won't work with new apple id-Help

I restored a number of ipads from an icloud backup, to include both bookmarks and Ipad apps to my team
I then logged out of both the itunes and icloud accounts associated with these apps, and gave the ipads out to team members.
They each made their own Apple ids to the personalise their accounts.
However now some of them are having the problem that the original apps we installed on the first account don't work.
Is this likely this will be a problem for them all? or is it a just a case of those affected having to do a reinstall.
Thanks

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
Here is again the short version:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > GO hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.

CPU 40 % but Garage Band doesn't work

Hello,
I've a problem with GarageBand 11. A few days ago I've bought a Mac Mini with dual core I7 with 8Gigs RAM, and hard disk 750Gigs (7200RPM). Lion inside of course.
I'v used Garage Band but during play my project, GB stops itself and appear a message similar at "part of the project was not played". But I've checked activity monitor and the CPU (appear 4 core, for hyperthreading) is under 40% global resources, during Gb playing my project.
The tracks are 8 with many effects, the cursor became red and Garage band says: "part of the project was not played" and stops itself. I ask you, why even though the CPU is 40%, the hard disk works fine, the RAM is used for 3, 5Gbyte Garage Band desn't work?
Thank you for your patience.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use GarageBand. There's a GarageBand Support Community where everybody uses GarageBand. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

I would like to update to Firefox 5.0.1, but I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled.

I have wanted to update from 3.6.22, to 5.0.1, but can't do to the following reasons: I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled. They are: Microsoft. NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1, Iconix 3.90.1, HP Detect 1.0.5.1, Yahoo! Toolbar 2.3.5.201101200332202 (I don't care about Yahoo! Toolbar, because I don't use it!). As soon as these issues are fixed, I will be able to update, to the latest versions. These issues should be fixed & ready to work, before a new version is available. Thank you!
