GarageBand often cannot see my Squier Strat

When I use my Squier Stratocaster it's a bit hit or miss whether or not GarageBand (or perhaps it's my iMac) detects that I have the USB guitar connected. Under set up (or in GB Prefs) all I see is System Setting, Built -in Input, Built-in microphone and my HTC bluetooth earpiece. It's similae for the Output.
With the guitar connected I should see USB Guitar as well in both boxes.
Also, sometimes, even when GB shows the guitar is available in Set Up or in GB Preferences, I still cannot a signal from the Strat to play through the iMac or Garaband. I need to restart the iMac and start again. This usualy fixes it.
This behaviour seems to happen if I forget to plug the guitar in physically before I open GB. If I forget and open GB first, I get all this hassle of no input detected from the guitar.
Restarting is okay up to a point but I wonder if there might be a quicker way - some button I can click to force GB (or my iMac - whichever is the source of the problem) to re-scan for the guitar?

Do you also have this issue if you temporarily switch to Private Browsing mode?

G5 Cannot see other devices in network, despite being hardwired to the AE

I just don't get this.
- My G5 is plugged in via Ethernet to an Airport Extreme.
- I have and Airport Express configured as a repeater and for AirTunes in the living room.
- I have an iPhone and a MacBook.
The following conditions are true and as they should be:
- The G5 receives the internet via the Airport Extreme
- The Macbook receives the internet via the network
- The MacBook can see the File Sharing that the G5 puts out
- The MacBook can see the Airport Extreme and Express with Airport Utility
- The MacBook can use iTunes to connect to the Express for AirTunes
- The iPhone receives the internet over Wi-Fi via this network
- The iPhone can use Remote to control the MacBook's iTunes
The following conditions are true and, given above, make no sense to me at all:
- The G5 cannot see either the Airport Extreme or the Express with Airport Utility
- The G5 cannot use iTunes to connect to the Express for AirTunes
- The G5 cannot see the iPhone/Remote in its list of devices in iTunes
I just flat out don't understand how the G5 can get internet from the Airport Extreme and connect to the MacBook over Wi-Fi via the Airport Extreme, but cannot do anything else that the MacBook can do on this network.
Can someone shed some light on this? I've checked firewall settings and they aren't any different between the G5 and the MacBook.
Please.... I'm just totally confused.
P.S. I've left off the complexity of the Laserwriter, but, I often configure this by adding a small hub between the Airport Extreme and the G5, adding in the Laserwriter via Ethernet to the Hub. The G5 can print to it, the MacBook can print to it, but none of the above changes if I remove the Hub from the network.

I've done some additional troubleshooting and things seem to be related to the G5...
- I tried different users on the G5, same results: G5 cannot see AirTunes or the iPhone, and the Airport Utility doesn't show either Airport Express or Extreme
- I tried putting the MacBook on the Ethernet network, disabling the Airport on it, same results: MacBook can see the Airport Express and Extreme with the Utility, and can see Airtunes and the iPhone
I also tried enabling File Sharing on the MacBook. It takes 7 seconds for the G5 to open a connection the MacBook via AFP file sharing, and it takes two minutes for the MacBook to open a connection to the G5 via AFP file sharing.
I think my next step will be reinstalling the OS on the G5, but I wish I understood why two machines with the same OS on the same network, on the same position on the network, have such a difference in what they can see and what they cannot see.
Does anyone have any insights to share?

How can i get rid of this iidiotic pop-up. allple is changing for the worst. you have to buy a new macpro in order to upgrade to a higher system, sounds like obamacare.

You have probably clicked on a mailto: web link which directs links to send e-mail messages to wherever the webmaster chooses. Go to the View menu -> Show Statusbar if it available, and then make sure the bottom of your screen is visible. When you hover over a link, if it says: mailto: it will open in your default e-mail reading application set by your browser or your e-mail program preferences.
Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Software Update lets you change how often you see the software update window.

Stage goes white and I cannot see any of my mc_s

Hey Team,
Wondering if you can help me out here, I am working on a Flash file that has lots of FLV player components all in different movieclips, all reading external flv files. (This is all I can think of that I have been adding that has led to this worsening problem) I have noticed recently that the stage is becoming white more and more frequently and the movieclips on the stage are becoming invisible (yes i have not turned the eye off on the timeline) when you click on the white space you can go inside these invisible movieclips, you just cannot see what is there. I have to close and restart Flash to see again, which I am having to do more and more often, I also notice that my .swf or projector file has become unstable when I export it and it will fail or close without warning or error.
Here is some video of the problem..

Cannot see aim contact

Hi,
Before Mountain Lion and iMessage, I could see my AIM (legacy iChat) contacts in my list of contacts when they were online. With Messages, it does not appear to be working anymore. I have both a iMessage account (that works fine with my MBP, iPhone and iPad) and a AIM account in messages, but I only can see my iMessages contacts online.
I can chat with them, if I send a new message, but I cannot see if they are only or not. Just bugging me for a while...

HI,
The Menu bar Drop down does tend to focus on the Buddy lists (if you have several it will display Buddies from all of them)
It can be difficult to spot Jabber Buddies (GoogleTalk and Facebook if you have many more AIM Buddies)
Or it can be changed to show Bonjour Buddies
This pic does actually contain both AIM and Jabber Buddies (3 out of the 6 "Ralph" ones are Jabber and one Buddy also has two Jabber IDs making only 5 in the list)
As you can see I don't update My Status Messages that often.
I had also forgotten that in Messages the middle tab in an AIM account's settings is now marked "Privacy" and not Security as it was in iChat.
The Allow Specific People can end up blocking large numbers of your List if your only test a few Names here.

HT204350 I cannot see my TM disk

I cannot see the resources created by Time Machine on my external HDD...
Both systems are 10.9.1...
I am very disappointed.

We don't have enough information yet to know how to start the troubleshooting process.
1) Do you know if the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32?
The reason we ask is that the AirPort Extreme will only support drives that use one of the two formats mentioned above. Your computer supports more formats, so it's possible that your computer can "see" the drive, but the AirPort Extreme cannot.
2) What operating system are you using on your computer?
If you have a Mac, and do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
3) Have you tried a powered USB hub with the hard drive at the AirPort Extreme?
The USB port on the AirPort is not a high powered USB port like you would find on a computer. Often, you need to use a powered USB hub with a drive connected to the AirPort Extreme......even if the hard drive has its own power supply

Understanding the difference between the Live File System and Mastered disc formats
If you have burned CDs using Windows XP, you are already familiar with the Mastered format. The latest version of Windows offers a new format, called Live File System. Discs that use the Live File System format are often more convenient because you can copy selected files immediately and as often as you want, as if the disc were a floppy disc or USB flash drive. On the other hand, Live File System discs can’t be used in all computers and devices. Use this guide to understand the difference between Live File System and Mastered discs:
Discs formatted with the Live File System option:
• Work like a USB flash drive or floppy disk, meaning you can copy files to disc immediately without having to burn them.
• Are convenient if you want to keep a disc in the burn drive and copy files whenever the need arises.
• Are only compatible with Windows XP and later versions of Windows.
Discs formatted with the Mastered option:
• Don’t copy files immediately, meaning you need to select the entire collection of files that you want to copy to the disc, and then burn them all at once.
• Are convenient if you want to burn a large collection of files, such as a music CD.
• Are compatible with older computers and devices such as CD players and DVD players
Why are there different versions of the Live File System format?
Each version of the Live File System format is compatible with different operating systems. Depending on which computers you plan to use a disc in, you might need to select a different version of Live File System. If you plan to use your disc on the latest version of Windows, however, you will never need to change the version of Live File System you use. If you need to make discs that are compatible with earlier versions of Windows, use the table below to select the right Live File System version for your needs:
The following table describes Live File System versions and their appropriate uses.
Live File System version Best for
1.02
This format can be read on Windows 98 as well as many Apple computers. You should use this version if you need to format DVD-RAM or MO (Magneto-optical) discs.
1.5
This format is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. It might not be compatible with Windows 98 or Apple computers.
2.01
This format is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It might not compatible with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Apple computers.
2.5
This format is designed for the latest version of Windows and might not be compatible with earlier versions of Windows.

Cannot see new SQL 2008 R2 Express instance on Small Business Server 2011!

Hi,
As it is stated on the subject line, I'm having a problem after I did a new install of SQL 2008 R2 Express and put a new instance on SBS 2011.
I'm developing a new program using SQL 2008 in C# and VB.Net. I have SQL 2008 R2 Express installed on my computer called "MSQL8R2EDATA" on my PC. Now I need to deploy it on SBS 2011 so I can do some testing on other workstations.
I'm currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, and it's named STEVE-PC. The SBS 2011 is named SERVER1, and it's 64 bit as well.
After installation on SERVER1 (SBS 2011), I then fired up SQL Server Configuration Manager and enabled Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA.
After I've completed the SQL Configuration on SERVER1, I went back on my PC (STEVE-PC) and I tried to use Management Studio to connect to the new instance MSQL8R2EDATA on SBS 2011, only problem is, I only see the computer name, not the new instance
I've installed.
Back on SBS 2011 (SERVER1), I've verified that all the protocols are enabled, and the SQL Server Browser is automatically loaded and currently running, as well the MSQL8R2EDATA instance is automatically loaded and running, yet I still cannot see
it from my PC (STEVE-PC). I even switched from dynamic ports to a static port of 64719 (that was what the MSQL8R2EDATA was listening on that port when it was dynamic), and then added new rules to the Windows Firewall for program of the SQLSERVR.EXE, and
for UDP and TCP for port 64719 to "Allow All Connections" for Domain, Private, and Public; yet I still cannot connect SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA. I even disabled the firewall and then trying to connect once again to SBS 2001 and it still fails.
In case you're wondering, I left it on port 64719 since there are other active SQL Servers on SBS 2011 (SharePoint, SBSMonitoring, and ACT7).
Interestingly, when I run Management Studio on SBS 2011, I can see STEVE-PC\MSQL8R2EDATA and I'm able to log in and connect to it.
So what's going on here?!? Why am I able to connect to STEVE-PC which is Windows 7 64 from SBS 2011 (SERVER1), but I cannot connect from my computer to that instance on SBS 2011??
I really could use some big time help on this.
EDIT: Sorry for the confusion, but on the Windows Firewall (WF.msc), I did add new rules for incoming connections on:
Program incoming connections to SQLSERVR.EXE
TCP Port 64719
UDP Port 64719
EDIT: To further assist, I have Management Studio installed on the SBS 2011, and I can locally log in and connect to the MSQL8R2DATA on SERVER1 with success. I even tried tcp:SERVER1\MSQL8R2DATA and again it is successful log-in and connection.
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Hi,
Thanks for the response, but I have a question:
Installing SQL Express or SQL Server is not recommended on SBS
2011 because it is a DC, however technically it will work.
I'm a newbie when it comes to SBS 2011 and I'm taking a crash course on the subject. Can you explain to me what you mean by "DC"? Also, why
isn't recommended to install a new instance on SBS 2011?
As I also stated, I've added "New Rules" to the Windows Firewall to allow incoming connections on port 64719 for both TCP and UDP, and I also allowed incoming connections for SQLSERVR.EXE but no joy to connect to the SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA.
And yes, I can log-in and connect locally on SERVER1 using Management Studio with success. I even used tcp:SERVER1\MSQL8R2EDATA with the same success. It's my workstation STEVE-PC that fails. If that fails, then the rest of the workstations are going to fail.
Are you suggesting that I put the SQL Server 2008 Express on another workstation and just allow to to be
accessed that way?

I switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy s4. Everything seems ok except text messaging with people who have an iPhone. I can send them a text, they can see it, but I cannot see what they text back. What can I do please?

I just switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy 4S and I like it except for text messaging. I can text, they can see it, but I cannot see their response if they are using an iPhone. Can you help me with this? What do I do please?

Congratulations on your new phone kathdogg! Now let's get your messaging working correctly. If you still have your old device, turn it on, go to settings, and turn off iMessaging.
If you are no longer in possession of your old device, you will need to remove your phone number from your Apple Support Profile. This can be done here: http://bit.ly/1cst2SC
Please keep us posted, and let us know if this resolves your issue!
Thank you,

Cannot see table in sql developer or sql plus

I have created a record in application designer. I have then built the table. I can close the record and then find it again in application designer. But if I go to sql plus or sql developer, I cannot see it. Am I missing a step?

You probably can see all the tables of sysadm because someone else give you proper grant for that on existing sysadm's objects.
For the new or modified object (drop+create) you should :
1. connect as sysadm and run
grant select on new_table_name to your_own_user;2. connect with your own user and run
create synonym new_table_name for sysadm.new_table_name;Then you'll be able to query that table without using schema name alias.
Some admin have also a ddl trigger to make it automatically.
You could also work through a role and public synonym if more than one user needs to access sysadm's objects.

Never mind, problem solved. When I retunred to the Network tab the message had changed to "connected, no IP address" so I got that from the WiFi tab and configured the Ethernet manually. Have a nice day @:-)#

I cannot see my Hotmail saved messages on my iPad 4. I do not have this problem on my iPad 2. All settings look identical.

I cannot see my Hotmail saved messages onmy iPad 4. I do not have this problem on my iPad 2. The settings appear identical.Any suggestions to cure the problem? Thank you.

My iPad 2 does exactly the same thing. But I just have to go on to my wifi options and you can either forget this network and then press it again or you can turn wifi off and on again and press that wifi.
Kind regards,
