Help I'm a newbie!!

im new to the whole logic and midi thing. i have an Akai MPC500. here is how i have my set up. i have my mpc500 running into my Mac connected by an maudio uno interface usb cable. how do i play the loops from logic onto my pads on the mpc500 to make beats?

You can't play the loops straight from Logic but you can assign them to notes inside a patch in the EXS24 sampler and then play them.
cheers

  • Help!!! Newbie here!

    Alright. I have CS3 and am 'trying' to get used to it. I am trying to do a vintage effect and of course this takes many steps. One of the steps (almost one of the lasts) is to go to Filter>Distort>Lens Correction AND then from there, use the Vignette Slider, etc...
    Well, Under MY Filter, there is NO distort, there was in my CS2, so I dunno what the deal is. I used the Help Search and it found the distort under the Edit>Transform>Distort. BUT, the distort is greyed out! I have tried everything. It IS in 8 bit, I've even tried 16 bit... NOT working. The only time distort even comes up is if I go to another 'blank' layer... and of course, I can't do anything with it! :(
    so, what do i need to do to get the distort working... it's there, but it's greyed out. Please help. And I don't know if this will give my email or not, please feel free to email me also with your help! :D thanks!

  • Help to install drivers *newb*

    *first of all, im a newb. im not even sure if im on the right topic, but anyways:*
    how to install the lan drivers from this dl page: http://us-download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/578853.exe  ???

    Download the drivers, unpack them to a folder using the self-extractor that comes up.
    Now right click on the Ethernet adapter in Device Manager, click onto Update Driver.
    Now direct that to the folder that matches your OS. ie if you have XP then direct it to that WinXP folder that was extracted earlier

  • Help - I'm a newbie to Mac and still need my Internet Explorer browser!

    macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Hi - I just purchased a macbook pro and am in the process of designing a website - after encountering problem after problem, the hosting company figured out that I'm using a Mac, and said that their program doesn't support Safari and I need to do my design through an Explorer browser. Microsoft discontinued Explorer for Mac, so what do I do? I heard of a program called Parallels Desktop - has anyone used it, will it work, or am I opening up Pandora's box by installing it on my computer? Changing hosting companies is not an option, so I need to make this work. THANKS!!!!!

    You're trying to use a web-site building application that doesn't support Macs? I personally would not deal with any hosting company that won't support anything beyond Windows. Whatever you build with this company will not be accessible to other Macs. But this is your prerogative.
    You're correct that Internet Explorer for Mac has been discontinued and it was discontinued at version 5.2x. To run IE for Windows on your Mac you'll need something like Apple's Boot Camp <http://www.apple.com/bootcamp/>, Parallels from <http://www.parallels.com/> or if you're feeling adventurous you can try the CrossOver beta from <http://www.codeweavers.com/>, which will let you run Windows applications without Windows.
    Are you opening a Pandora's Box? I don't think so. You do need to take the same precautions you would with a regular Windows machine. That means installing antivirus software and spyware software. Be sure to test your website with both your Mac browsers as well as IE for Windows.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Help for a Mac newbie please!

    Hi all,
    I just got my lovely MacBook Pro yesterday... and could use some help with these 2 problems...
    1 - on my Windows PC I have a VPN connection to 1 of my clients. When I tried to set it up on the Mac it's asking for an IPSEC shared secret? Is there any way to disable this requirement, or does my client have to set a key on his server?
    2 - I am having a problem connecting to my windows laptop through my home network...if I enable the Guest account on windows XP, the MacBook connects no problem. If however [as I really want to] I try to connect as a "proper" user with username and password, the Mac keeps telling me the username or password is wrong...which it definitely isn't!
    My thought is regarding the "domain"...I don't have one set up at home...just a workgroup called "home"...so when I try to login I am only typing in the username...the tooltip for the usernae field says domain\username...do I need to put anything here for domain, and if I do, what...as there isnt one!
    Thanks,
    Nige

  • Urgent help for extremely new newbie - please.

    I have been asked to set up a Labview program to graph and log
    thermocouple temperature measurements from two Keithley 2001 Multimeters
    and a DC voltage from HP 34420A nano Volt/Micro Ohm Meter. All three are
    instruments are IEEE interfaced to a Windows 98 machine running Labview
    (version 5.0 I think.) I have a couple of weeks to get the job done.
    The problem is that I have never used Labview. I am an experienced C,
    Fortran, BASIC programmer but this graphical system is completely new.
    My situation is complicated because I am told the experienced person who
    was originally going to set this up left under bad circumstances and
    took many of the manuals. I would greatly appreciate any and all help I
    can get.
    Please feel free to send responses directly to me.

  • Safari display help for a Mac newbie!

    Hi everyone,
    I have never used Macs before so I hope this question isn't too ridiculous...!
    When using Safari, all the web pages I open are either half or three-quarters the size of the screen even when I use the little plus (maximize) button in the top left hand corner.
    Only one page has ever fitted the full screen. Is there any way to make all pages opened with safari full-screen size? I've fiddled around with the settings but to no avail...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The easiest way I have found to do this is to high light and drag the following java script to your bookmarks menu bar. Name it any thing you want. I called mine re-size. Click it and it will expand the window full page. It works with Safari 2, safari 3 beta, FireFox, Omni-wed, and SeaMonkey.
    Full screen script for browsers
    javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

    On JDBC:
    You only need to register a driver with the DriverManager once, and this is done (by JDBC conform drivers) when the driverclass is loaded. You may want to do this in a static initializer:
    import java.sql.*;
    class MyClass{
        static {
            try {
                // load driver class, which automatically registers itself
                Class.forName("sun.jdbc....");
            } catch(Exception ex) { /* handle it, throw error */ }
        // later
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(...);
    }Even better is NOT to hard-code the driver at all. Use
    java -Djdbc.drivers=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver;oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver MyClassinstead.

  • Terminal help (i'm a newbie, too)

    Ok. i've been using firefox as my browser and i have to start it in safemode to fix an extension problem/bad profile. while going through the troubleshooting steps, i eventually reached this: "go to your Terminal and run:
    /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -safe-mode"
    well, i did that (using the correct folder string, but nothing happened except for ">" to appear on the next line after i hit enter. how the heck do i get the program to launch? i'm really lost when it comes to Terminal. i'm not an ubergeek and i'm not someone who's using a computer for the first time, either. i know my way around terminology pretty well, so anyone who can help, don't worry about trying to explain it to a novice.
    thanks.

  • Help - I'm a newbie to Mac

    I don't know Mac or Unix, but I am in the process of setting up a Xserve for handling e-amil. What should I do about spam? The GUI is doing nothing to block spam. I downloaded and installed spamtrainer...but I don't know how to configure it. I also need to do some whitelisting and setting up auto reply for when I go on vacation. I appreicate any and all help you can give!
    Xserve dual 2GHz w/ 2 GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Ok. I hate to piecemeal this out, but it's easier to take this one step at a time.
    Let's confirm that your content filter (spam and virus protection) is running. Open Server Admin and click on "Mail" and then choose "Logs" from the bottom tab.
    Use the "Show" pop-up tab at the bottom to choose: "Junk Mail/Virus Scanning"
    You'll need to look over the section of the amavis.log that is published here. This is where amavis reports your spam (spamassassin) and virus (clamav) processes. Just check here to make sure things look good (i.e., not-getting-anything or getting a bunch of error messages is a bad thing).
    If things look good, then use the "Show" pop-up tab at the bottom and choose "Virus Database Updates." This is your freshclam.log. This reports on the process of keeping your clamav (virus) database ... fresh (get it ... freshclam).
    You should see some messages here that indicate that your main.cvd is up to date, your daily.cvd is updated, etc. Don't get nervous about the "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!" That's normal. Just ignore.
    If all of that looks good, then we can get your SpamAssassin set-up fine-tuned with spamtrainer.
    It sounds like you've already installed Pterobyte's spamtrainer (using his GUI installer package). However, before we start using spamtrain, let's do one quick thing. Open Work Group Manager (WGM) and create two new users. Name one "junkmail" and name the other "notjunkmail" For both users, click the "Mail" tab at the top of of the right screen, and "Enable" their mail and give them both POP and IMAP mail access.
    Save those users.
    Now ... let's go set up spamtrainer (which you already installed using Pterobyte's installer).
    Open Terminal and issue "sudo spamtrainer -f" and hit return.
    (you will be asked for a password)
    Then issue "sudo spamtrainer -a"
    Then issue "sudo spamtrainer -i"
    (when you run the -i, you need to have an idea as to what time at night you want to have spamtrainer run each day. I use something like 3:00, but it doesn't really make much difference.)
    The next step will be to tighten up your Postfix restrictions and do a little clean-up in your main.cf file, but let's do that after you do the checks and steps above. One quick question, do you know how to use a unix-based text editor like vi or pico to edit files?

  • Help on JAR creation (newbie)

    Hi guys so I am using Eclipse 3.2 and I click on the project and I say Export to Java --> JAR file
    then I go to prompt and I do java -jar blah.jar and that gives me an error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/driver/Or
    acleDriver
            at Driver.main(Driver.java:81)I know why I am getting this. Because I am using the JDBC in my code and there's another jar file that does that its actually called: ojdbc14.jar
    So the question is what do I do. I just want to run this project without having to run Eclipse. If there's any other way I can run this project besides JAR and Eclipse, oh and just typing java Driver doesn't work either so.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Simplest would be use of java with the -cp option. something like java -cp blah.jar;jdbc.jar MainClassOtherwise, you should be able to use the Class-Path attribute of the manifest to specify a relative path to the jdbc jar.

  • Help for a total newb with e65

    Hi All,
    Please help, I got the E65 and good posts about getting the wlan working.
    But I got the navigator app with it, and I really dont get all this GPS stuff , with it working off satellite, but charging my mobile with data chrages, software that works with recievers and phones, some symbian.
    Somebody explain it all in lamens terms please.
    Cheers

    Hi kiltedscot
    Can I use this analogy, if you buy a TomTom car navigation unit the package includes the hardware (processor + GPS receiver) and navigation software for a fixed but known cost (there is no charge for receiving data from GPS satellite system owned by the US Government)
    You have purchased the processor (E65), you need to purchase a Bluetooth GPS receiver to get positional data, the Symbian navigation software is provided free and if you download maps via your PC there is no need to incur GPRS data charges. If however you want a full talking navigation option, you do need to purchase a licence which in UK is just over £40 for 3 years.

  • Help Writing a Query - (Newbie Warning)

    Hi All:
    I am brand new to SQL, so please go easy on me. Here is what I am trying to do:
    I have two tables: one is called bid_distributor and the other is called customer_profile.
    Each customer in these tables has a unique customer ID. In the bid_distributor table, it is called distributor_customer_number. In the customer_profile table, it is called customer_code.
    I want to create a query that returns a list of all customers in which customer_profile.flag = 'N' and where the number of bids that they own = 0.
    Each bid is found within the bid_distributor table. Something like SELECT COUNT(bids) from bid_distributor b where b.distributor_customer_number would return the number of bids. This needs to equal 0.
    Can anybody help me do this? Essentially, I need to first select all of the records where customer_profile.flag = 'N.' Then, out of those results, I need to select all records where the number of bids = 0.
    Can this be done with one query? I've been struggling with this. Thanks!

    Hi, if a customer has no bids, will there be any records for that ID in the
    distributor table? When asking questions sample data is much preferred, kind
    of like
    WITH customer_profile AS
         (SELECT '1' customer_code, 'N' flag FROM DUAL UNION
          SELECT '2', 'Y' FROM DUAL UNION
          SELECT '3', 'Y' FROM DUAL UNION
          SELECT '4', 'N' FROM DUAL),
         bid_distributor AS
         (SELECT '2' distributor_customer_number, 1 bidnr, 100 bid FROM DUAL  UNION
          SELECT '2', 2, 150  FROM DUAL UNION
          SELECT '3', 1, 125 FROM DUAL)
    SELECT customer_code
      FROM customer_profile
    WHERE flag = 'N'
    MINUS
    SELECT distributor_customer_number
      FROM bid_distributorwhich selects 1 and 4.

  • Help reqd for a newbie on Oracle App Server 10g

    I installed Oracle 10g Appserver. I have used Websphere, WebLogic and other App servers. But, Iam completely new to Oracle 10g App Server. Can you guys help me how to go about it to deploy an application on Oracle 10g App Server and if any pointers are there, they are very very helpful.

  • Help for an Oracle Newbie???

    Hi there,
    Sorry for probably a ridiculously stupid question but my boss has asked me to ask on here! Here goes -
    We have a network with around 100 users. Previously we have used MS Access to report on our database, the users then logged into Access Reports and ran the required report. We are now looking at using Oracle Discoverer or similar. We have installed the developer suite and have downloaded Oracle Application Server 10g. We are able to create queries using discoverer and reports using the report builder.
    My question is this - once i have created my reports (in .jsp format i believe), is it possible to host these using the application server?
    The users need to log into a website or similar and select the report they need to run.
    Any help would be appreciated - as i say, sorry for probably a silly question!!
    Many thanks,
    James.

    Hi!
    The answer is yes and the details on how is in the docs, see the link below.
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/toc.htm
    It would be a too lengthy thread trying go through all the details...
    You can also publish your Discoverer Workbooks using Portal as the frontend publishing platform

  • Basic help for an Iphone newbie - (Sorry!)

    Hi there,
    I am thinking about getting an Iphone but I simply cannot find definitive answers for the following.
    Can you guys help?
    Am I right in saying that the iphone does NOT have the following:-?
    Bluetooth
    Video Camera
    MMS Facility
    Sat Nav Facility
    Also if anybody can advise if it is actually worth all the hype and money then feel free to let me know.
    I really hope it is!!
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    Steve

    While it's true that the iPhone lacks some of those things that many people have come to expect, for me it is definitely worth the hype. I bought mine an hour after they went on sale here in the US, and haven't come close to regretting it for one second. It's not a PERFECT phone, it has it's flaws, but it's is so much sweeter than anything else I've had that I can't even describe it. I was in Best Buy yesterday and from curiosity I browsed through the cell phone section. I found myself and scratching my head at almost every phone there. I can't imagine going back to any of those. The thing that surprised me the most was the smartphones with the tiny keyboards. I had to wonder why all the talk about the iPhone's touchscreen keyboard vs. the other smartphones "tactile" keyboard. My thought is that the only reason so many people say they prefer having actual buttons to push is simply because that is what they've become used to. I've never used a smartphone, but when I picked up the blackberry's and whatnot, I realized immediately that those would be no easier to use for me, starting from scratch, than the iPhone's keyboard. Matter of fact, I might even give the edge in ease of use to the iPhone keyboard. Again, this is from someone who had never used either before June 29th. Bottom line, iPhone has flaws. It's not perfect, it's not a "Jesus phone", but it's still pretty **** sweet.
