"garageband has detected a possible conflict..."

I see that this problem has come up a lot in the past but none of the solutions I've found have worked so far. I'm working on fixing garageband for the computers in my high school's music tech lab and this is the error message I'm getting:
"garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers"
I've tried deleting the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file in Library/Preferences/, but to no avail.
I've also looked for drivers in: Library/Audio/Midi Drivers but we are using the M-Audio Keystation 61es (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Keystation61es.html) which doesn't require drivers, so there is nothing in that folder...
There are at least 2 computers in the lab that are having this issue. GB works in the "Teacher" admin account but not in "Student", so I'm running a Permissions Repair in disk utility for one of the computers right now. The rest of them work in "Student".
In the meantime, is there anything I have overlooked...? Would like to have this issue dealt with by later today or tomorrow... thanks! here's some info:
Mac OS X version 10.5.8
Model: iMac
MIDI: M-Audio Keystation 61es
The only other things plugged into the computer are headphones and a mouse/keyboard.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had been looking in student/library/. I went to Macintosh HD/library, took the com.apple.garageband.plist file and the EmagicUSBDriver.plugin and threw them both into a temp file on the desktop. Opened up garageband and the issue is still present... I'll restart and see what happens, would deleting the files completely make any difference then having them in a different folder?
Otherwise would the permissions repair work? I'm hoping we don't have to end up reformatting these computers...
Thanks for the quick response!

GarageBand has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party

I have 200 computers that when you launch GarageBand 3.0.5 it comes up with the error:
GarageBand has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers
Our image is basically 10.5.6 with mainly Adobe CS 3 suite. No other sound programs or anything sound or video related was installed besides iLife 06 and I'm not sure what is causing the issue. I have tried reinstalling iLife 06 and run all updates available from Apple and repairing permissions. I have went through the plugins in /Library/Audio folder and haven't had any luck at all.
What gets me is under the admin account I have it working fine by removing the default emagic plugin in /Library/Audio/ etc.. but if I log in as a regular user without admin privileges i get the error.
I have tried deleting pref files in the users Preferences folder, but I just can't find a workaround.
It kinda seems to be like a permissions issue since the Admin account works, but I have tried pushing permissions 777 to /Library/Application Support/ and to /Library/Audio and to /Applications/Garageband.app and still no results.
I was blaming an Apple update because things worked fine before, I'm not sure what caused it. I reinstalled the combo update and that didn't help either.
I reformatted and installed 10.5 and upgraded using the combo updater to 10.5.6 and installed iLife 06 and installed all available updates from Apple like I have in the image and things work fine.
But I need to get this working on our image.........Anyone have any ideas as to what could possible be the issue and might know a fix????
Google searches the solutions I have found are repairing permissions and deleting plugins. I have tried repairing permissions and have no plugins besides the defaults, but I have already removed the emagic one and nothing else is in there.
Thanks!!

To get me through the year I deleted a bunch of Microsoft Office Receipts in /Library/Receipts and it fixed the issue.
I have no idea why, deleting a receipt from another app shouldn't affect anything, but it worked. I spent many hours trying to figure out a solution and this worked!
We are running iLife 09 now and no issues so far!

"Logic has detected a possible conflict "" -- HELP!

The full error message is, "Logic has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers. Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer, and remove any older or unused drivers."
OK, where exactly on my mac do these older or unused drivers live???

I've looked through some old threads on this issue and some seem to have been produced by track automation, which wouldn't be causing my issue as none of my tracks have automation.
Everything has worked perfectly up until just today; the only thing that changed was I installed the 3.0.1 version of Guitar Rig 3. I thought it might have something to do with the driver for Rig Kontrol hardware, so I deleted and reinstalled... Same Conflict message. So I force-quit Logic and opened a track that was all software instruements -- same problem.
Can anyone help me? I am desperate here!!!

" LogicPro has detected a possible conflict error "

Hi All,
I know this has been flagged before as a known issue but I cant see a specific answer based on my set up.
Error message :
" LogicPro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers "
Background :
I have two macs, a macbook pro and a mac pro. On my macbook pro ( older system ) I have both Logic 7 & Logic Studio, On my macpro I only have Logic Studio.
I had a completed track on Logic 7, when trying to open in logic 8 I got the mentioned error, But when I copied the track to my new mac pro system i got the same error again, the mac pro is a recent buy and a fresh install.
Can some one please advise on how to resolve this issue, do i need to remove all automation data from the original copy within logic 7 then transfer across ?
Really keen to sort out as planning to wipe my macbook pro and re-start from scratch when snow-leopard is released
Hope someone can advise
Cheers
Andy

I guess I'd search for all drivers, and see what comes up. Delete al that aren't Core audio, and make sure I have the current M-Audio driver for your device and re-install it. Just a guess, really...

Logic Pro *8 has detected a possible conflict between one or more...

NOTE: This has NOTHING to do with opening Logic 7 sessions in Logic 8. This warning repeatedly pops up when starting Logic Pro 8, and when opening new sessions, and when adding tracks...and it's just unbeatable.
Logic Pro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers.
I only suppose this could be either the Oxygen 8, or Digidesign 002 drivers? But Im certain that I do NOT use the 002 drivers.
Anyone know about this? I only started seeing this problem after upgrading to both Leopard, and Logic Pro 8.
Could my dongle be the problem? Hehe, I still have that plugged in from Logic 6!
Ouch, this problem is so persistent I'm going to go back to Logic Pro 7.

hi.
Having just experienced this problem, I tried reinstalling the pace InterLok Extensions but this did not help. I then uninstalled the extensions (using the uninstaller script provided by pace) and now everything works. I need pace for some software i own so this is not a permanent solution for me...
(I experienced this problem using logic 7.2.3 on OSX 10.4.11)

The wireless system has detected a possible intrusion attack by signature..

We are getting the following "critical" alert with the following:
Description
NULL Probe Response - Zero length SSID element
Message
{controller} IDS 'NULL probe resp 1' Signature attack detected on AP 'AP Name' protocol '802.11b/g' on Controller 'x.x.x.x'.

Help
The wireless system has detected a possible intrusion attack by signature detection for a specific attacker. Immediate attention is required.
I'm trying to find more information on this and am wondering if this is a false/positive.
Thanks for help in advance.

I would point more towards a false positive alert here.
NULL Probe Response - Zero length SSID element:
Some frames are permitted to carry a null (zero length) SSID, called a broadcast SSID. For example, a station can send a probe request that carries a broadcast SSID; the AP must return its actual SSID in the probe response. Some APs can be configured to send a zero-length broadcast SSID in beacon frames instead of sending their actual SSID. However, it is not possible to keep an SSID value secret, because the actual SSID (ESS name) is carried in several frames.
As far as how to modify the IDS sensor in the WLC:

Garageband has detected a midi timeout

Garageband takes a long, long time to open and then when it does, I get this error message about midi timeout. Garageband eventually does open, but it says that there are no Apple loops installed. What's going on?

SOLVED; Found Some digidesign stuff in /library/audio (system library -- I had deleted all of the audio drivers in the user library.
Still doubt that I can use my M-Box with GB, but that's OK, I can just use Audacity & then import the tracks into GB or just the opposite.
I should have read the posts listed in the right hand column.
Cheers,

MainStage message: possible conflict with third party midi or audio drivers

Just when I thought everything was going to be ok...
MainStage gives me a message that it detects a possible conflict with third party audio or midi drivers. The only midi device I'm using is class compliant (doesn't need a driver). My audio interface is an Apogee Duet and I'm using the most recent driver. Logic registers no such complaint. MainStage freezes. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello.
I am seeing this whenever MIDI events are being sent into either Logic or MainStage (primarily MainStage), while they are launching. On my setup, this will either crash the application during launch, ( sent to Apple ) or trigger this "...3rd party conflict / driver..." dialog.
In either instance, disabling incoming MIDI messages by turning them off on all connected MIDI devices, or as suggested, waiting to connect the device in question until, the application is fully launched, fixes my version of this issue.
** Please Note: In my experience, increasing the number incoming MIDI messages, exacerbates the issue and, makes a dialog or crash more likely to occur.
Hope this is helpful.

Mackeeper has detected a virus in the time capsule back up - it is not possible to dele - it ite the file. Do I find time capsule in finder and delete the whole computer back up, then crate a fresh back up? Is that the only solution please?

mackeeper has detected a virus in the time capsule backup, it is not possible to delete the infected file. Do I mount time capsule in finder and then consign to junk the whole computer backup then create a fresh backup? Is that the only solution please.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?
Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage. The overwhelming majority of Macs I come across have the MacKeeper installer file already present in their Downloads folder, often multiple copies of it. The downloaded file itself can do nothing until it is opened and installed, and the above setting (known as Gatekeeper - not to be confused with MacKeeper) will prevent that from occurring.

Window has detected and IPS Address Conflict

     To Whom this my concern, I keep getting this message, which, I had mention in the subject line. I have reset my wifi box and the box, that Charter gave me quit a few times. But, this message keeps on coming up, for some odd reason or another.
     I was just wondering. I had a Hp Lap Top 2000, that some one had stoolen off me, quit a few months, ago. I reported it to the police station and HP and they said that they could not do anything about it. Because, I absolutely lost my serial number, that I had written down.
    But, I used the same email addresses and Passwords on both computes. So, I was just a wondering if the person could be useing the lap top, that I had gotten stoolen from me and this is the way, this is why this message keeps popping up on my computer.
    Oh, I even called up Charter and mention it to them and they absolutely could not figure out what is going on either. So, I just thought, that I would text it on the internet. To see if any one absolutely knew what was going on.
Well, if you want to get in touch with me. My email address it [Personal Information Removed] or

If you could help me out. I would appreciate it and awful lots.

Error message "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted"

Everything used to work just fine until recently. On my Windows XP Home SP3 laptop, with iTunes (version 9.0.2.25) already open, I connect my 5th Generation iPod Nano and get the following message in iTunes:
"iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
If I plug the iPod into the computer without first starting iTunes, the Windows ‘Auto Play’ message comes up immediately then disappears and then the following message appears:
"Your iPod needs to be formatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod Now?"
Otherwise, the iPod functions normally when not connected in iTunes. I can play the music, videos, and record videos with no problems.
The troubleshooting steps I took were:
I performed a reset of the Nano by first sliding the hold switch on/off a few cycles, leaving switch off (no orange showing), then pressed and held the Menu + Select button until the Apple logo appeared. Then I tried it in iTunes again; no such luck, same error. I then did a reset again, this time with the iPod connected to an AC power source; still no luck. I tried the reset numerous times and it didn’t help.
Next, I ran the diagnostics by pressing and holding the Menu + Select buttons immediately followed by the Select + Reverse buttons. I stepped through all the diagnostics tests and all tests passed as far as I could tell (there was no errors reported).
After this, I tried it in iTunes again and still no luck.
I even tried the iPod on my Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) machine and it behaved the same way. The version of iTunes on that machine was at an earlier version when I first tried it there. I then upgraded iTunes to the latest version but that didn’t help either.
I can sync my iPod Touch and 2nd gen Nano without any problems.
Sorry about be long winded about this but I am wondering if anyone else may have other suggestions. I want to try and avoid a restore if possible because I have some videos I recorded that I would like to get off the iPod. I’m not concerned about my music files as I have them always backed up but didn’t get the videos off yet.

I am having this same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. It seems to be tied to the computer awaking from sleep (no I am not leaving the iPod connected while sleep... I am referring to waking the computer from sleep and then connecting iPod as opposed to restarting the computer and then connecting the iPod). In other words, if you are getting this error message, try ejecting the iPod, restart your computer, then connect the iPod and see if the error message goes away. For me it does, but I only get one shot at it, if I eject the iPod and then reconnect it, the error message returns. This happens on both iPods I have. I have rebooted (hold menu-select) and gone to disc mode (hold select-play) and the error message remains. The only way it goes away is to reboot the computer, then I get one shot at hooking up an iPod.
I NEVER had nor get this error message when I connect to the Windows PC that I started with. Perhaps the iPod does not like moving from PC to Mac?

ITunes has detected an iPod that appears to be currupted.

About a week ago my iPod completely froze while I was trying to use it. Since then nothing has worked right. It doesn't seem to charge and it doesn't connect and disconnect correctly. When I try to connect my iPod it either doesn't show up in iTunes at all or I get the following error message "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore iPod before it can be used iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." After the error message my iPod immediately disappears from the left hand side. After reading through the users guide I figured out how to get my iPod into disc mode and was able to restore it that way. However, I am still receiving the same error message. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My iPod is only a couple of months old.

I am experiencing a similar problem. My ipod turned on successfully but since then it has stayed frozen. According to the screen it is on hold but it isn't.I've tried charging it, but the message 'this ipod seems to be corrupt' comes up. I've tried to reset it but a message comes up saying it is not possible. I'm sorry I am not able to answer your problem but could you please help me by telling me how long the warranty is as i want to get it sorted in the apple store tomorrow and possibly exchange it.
Many thanks, I hope your ipod is soon fixed.

Message rcvd: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

I plugged my iPad into an electrical outlet to charge it. It asked if I wanted to update. I replied yes. Now all that shows up on the screen is the image of the end of a charge cord that plugs into the iPad and an iTunes icon. Thinking that meant I should plug into the computer, I did so and got the message: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes. I have done the restore, but want to know why this occured.

There's no possible way anyone here could determine why this has happened to your own device as there could be one of of many possibilities.

ITunes has detected an iPod in restore mode

I keep getting an error message stating that "iTunes has detected an iPod inn recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." when I connect it to my PC running iTunes 7.0. When I restore it to the factory settings, I still get that same error message.

YES YES YES - it's the infamous drive letter mapping issue! I have seen this several times and helped a few people fix it. In the OLDER versions of iTunes, the behavior was that the iPod simply didn't appear in iTunes. Much less destructive than restoring the iPod only to find that it just keeps popping up with the same message! The BEST way to solve this problem is NOT to unplug/unmap other drives! It is to REASSIGN the drive letter of the iPod to an UNUSED letter. In Windows this is done in the Disk Management utility (right-click My Computer and select Manage from the menu, then go to disk management and right-click on the iPod and assign it a new drive letter!) Windows will REMEMBER the drive letter you assigned so that you can keep all of your mapped drives and other external drives plugged in and all will work TOGETHER! If only the error message in iTunes was a little better. It could say something like, "Your iPod is either in recovery mode, or is sharing a drive letter with another device on your system..." Something like this would help people at least TRY to diagnose the problem before simply restoring the iPod, which, as it turns out, is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!!
