HELP HELP!!!! DESPERATE! What does "Timeout, Timer Inactive" mean?

Please help. I am using a M-Audio Uno 1x1 MIDI Interface and it has worked great. Then, I turned on Logic yesterday and it at first spent a long time cheking for MIDI Drivers, unusual, and finally displayed the message "Timer Inactive- check to see if other applications are running Timer or MIDI". I obviously wasn't running any other applications. THEN, a message pops up and says:
"Instrument "M-Audio 1x1" sends to a MIDI port named "Port 1" of MIDI interface "USB MIDI 1x1" which no longers exists. Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument's out port setting."
Well, I updated the drivers. That didn't work. I THEN went out and bought a NEW USB MIDI 1x1 Interface, exact same model. (Ironically the old one was NOT showing up on the USB port in the System Profiler when the problem started and the new one DOES now, so buying a new one helps I guess but doesn't solve the problem. Am I to assume these are somehow related?) The new one doesn't fix the problem. When I go into "Audio MIDI Setup", sometimes the Setup application crashes when I choose "MIDI Setup" and other times, when MIDI Setup comes up, it will not led me add a new device and simply does not see the MIDI Interface even though the System Profiler does.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?! I am in desperate need of help- PLEASE!!!!!

OK, first of all, all is not lost!
The "Timer Inactive" message means that Logic couldn't communicate with your MIDI interface. (I guess you kinda figured this one out the hard way...)
The "Instrument... no longer exists" is another symptom of the exact same thing. This error won't show up unless:
a) your interface is switched off (or disconnected)
=OR=
b) Logic (and/or AudioMIDI Setup) can't detect your interface
OK, here's what you do...
This is Part #1
1) Uninstall the MIDI drivers
2) Disconnect the MIDI interface from your computer and re-boot
3) Open AMS (AudioMIDI Setup) and go to the MIDI page. If you see an interface icon, it should be grayed out. There's also a chance you will so no icon for an interface.
4) If your interface has a power switch, turn it off.
5) Plug your interface directly into one of your computer's USB ports. Do not use a hub.
(If it has a power switch, turn it on now)
6) Does the interface show up now?
Post with your results and then I'll take you to part #2.

What does "Countdown" timer logo mean when shown against a mailbox?

In Mail, I see a "Countdown" timer logo showing faintly against mailboxes in the "On my Mac" partition and when it does, I cannot move mail messages from my inbox to the folder that has that logo. I can't see any description of this - is it a background task that is being done on my mailbox?

Do you retain very large numbers of messages in a single Mailbox? What percentage of free disk space do you have on your Mac?

What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop? I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files. How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)? Thanks for your help!

What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop? I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files. I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop. How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)? Thanks for your help!

What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
That's all I can think of.

What does the apple sign mean when sometimes it shows ?

What does the apple logo mean when sometimes i turn it on it just pops up and goes back to normal??

Ayip,
The Apple logo appearing on your iPod nano is your nano's start-up icon. Normally, when you turn off your iPod nano, you are really putting it into a deep or semi-deep sleep, where it is ready to turn on at the push of a button and resume where you left off in your Now Playing list.
If, however, you leave your iPod in a sleep mode for some time , it will shut down. To turn it on again, you'll need to hit the center button (deep and semi-deep will wake up with any button press). When turning the iPod on from a shut down state, it will display the Apple logo while loading your music iPod software.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
-FD

What does "RTR FOR ALP" mean?

I just finished switching my 1400 minute family plan over to the 1GB Share Everything Plan and I noticed that for all four of the phones on the plan (three smart phones and one basic phone), there is an added feature called RTR FOR ALP on all four lines.
I was shown that FRIENDS & FAMILY ALP - 10 would be removed from all lines and that RTR FOR CAPPED PLANS $0 would be removed from the 4G phone's line and RTR FOR CAPPED MBBC $0 would be removed from the basic phone's line. If I had enough examples of RTR and ALP in use I might be able to figure it out, but with only my own plan to look at, I'm stumped.
So what does RTR FOR ALP mean and what does the feature allow me to do that I couldn't do before?

I don't know what the letters stand for, exactly, but what's happening is the 10 Friends for all lines is being removed, since you know have unlimited calling and there is no need for F&F numbers. The 4G phone and the Basic phone's individual data caps have been removed, and the shared data cap has been applied to those lines.
Maybe with another cup of coffee I can come up with what the acronyms mean....
** EDIT
Coffee would not have helped But Google did:
http://www.verizonbusiness.com/solutions/public_sector/federal/contracts/continuity_contract/redacted_contract/vol3_business/v3-contents.pdf starting on page 6 lists pages of acronyms.
ALP(S) = Automatic Line Protection switching
RTR = Real Time Restoration

What does the dotted circle mean?

When connecting itouch to itunes, what does the dotted circle mean next to a song? Thanks for the help.

Hi pfn,
From an earlier post on this topic - this may work for you - it's worth a try:
First go to the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section and note all the tracks that have dotted circles.
In the 'Music' section, un-check/de-select all the tunes noted
Apply and sync the changes.
Once that completes re-check/re-select the same tunes just un-checked/de-selected in the 'Music' section.
Apply and sync the changes again
Go back into the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section
Hopefully all the dotted circles will be gone and all the tracks can be played
See if this helps!
Cheers,
GB

Often it suggests issues with device filters in your registry. But it's probably best to check the situation more closely.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

When you get through to the final screen:
