Help me please!!! lightsnake usb guitar gb2

I have been using Garageband ever since I've recieved my iBook about a year and a half ago. Ive been using it with a lightsnake (guitar input / usb) and ive been getting fair results with it, and then one day... poof. every time I try to connect it to the iBook its fine, doing the thing it does best - light up - except I cant get any sound out of it or anything else in garageband. It wont even let me play loops or other sounds not related to the lightsnake! Sometimes I would get an error Audio code popup in garageband, which makes me think that It has something to do with the audio card. I tried to copy down what this says, but now I can't get it to pop up. Can anyone help me fix this? It is quite annoying
Thank you for your time!
Mat

While you wait for someone who may have an answer, put "this device can perform faster" (with the quotes) into google and try some of the things that you read, as there doesn't appear to be a single fix for everybody.
A couple of things I would try is 1) update the usb drivers.  2)  uninstall usb controllers and reboot.
See if that helps

  • My problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.Help me please! greetings thanks!

    Hello good evening, I have a MacBook Pro and my problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.
    Help me please! greetings thanks!

    Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
    If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
    If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
    For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    Some gotchas:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?

  • Help-- annoying feedback while using guitar distortion

    Hey guys,
    I just got an M-Audio Fast Track guitar/mic interface for my macbook pro. I plugged in my guitar and tried to fiddle around with the stomp boxes. When I try to use any sort of distortion whatsoever, I get a loud, ringy feedback that sounds like it would if my guitar were next to an amp in real life. Why would it do this on a computer? I want to solve this so I can record some music. Thanks!!

    Check your "gain" levels ... in addition the distortion effect levels too.
    I use a Lightsnake USB cable directly for my guitar & bass tracks, routed through Garageband. It works killer, plus you can record a "clear" track, free of effects, and afterwards add the desired one.
    I used Pro Tools LE 8.0 for a bit but my computer can't handle my electronic drums and processor heaver pro tools together. It worked the same though, had to adjust the "gain" from primary instrument and ensure the "effect software" was able to do its thing.
    I hope this helps.

  • Help required please. "Itunes can not read the contents of my iphone"

    Greetings all,
    I know this question has been asked before and I apologize for asking again but all the solutions provided don't seam to work for me, can anyone help me please.
    I am receving the message: "Itunes can not read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab In iPhone Preferences and click restore torestore this Iphone to factory settings".
    Now a little about my iphone, Itunes and my laptop and what steps i havealready tried.
    I have an iPhone 4 running software 5.0
    My itunes version is 10.5.0.142
    I know these are not the most up to date versions but I have had this issue for almost 3 months now and updating the software back then was the first step I tried. I don’t believe updating to the latest will fix this issue as updating the last two times did nothing.
    Every so often after starting Itunes, The program will stop responding and will require the three finger death kill (CTRL, ALT, DELETE) to open task manager to end the task of Itunes. Once it shuts down, I restart the iTunes and it runs smoothly, apart from not reading my iPhone.
    When I run a diagnostic in itunes under the help tab, I get these fail messages:
    Network Connectivity test: Secure link to Itunes store fail
    Device connectivity test: Under support services: Itunes helper is not running. And under ports: No iPod, iPhone or iPad found.
    Device Sync test: No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found.
    *See below for full diagnostic report*
    I have restored back to factory settings twice.
    I have shut down and restarted both my iPhone and laptop.
    I am running Windows 7 32-bit on my laptop.
    I am using ZoneAlarm as my fire wall, and have been disabling it when syncing my iPhone to prevent other error messages.
    The iPhone is plugged into a genuine Iphone USB cable and is plugged into a USB port not a USB hub on my laptop, I have tried plugging it into all 4 USB ports and this issue still persist. The Cable is less then 5 months old, is not frayed or damaged in any way, have also borrowed 2 other cables from friends and still the same issue.
    The iPhone does not even come up in windows explorer as a digital camera.
    The iPhone is NOT jailbroken
    I do not live close to a so called genius bar, however I have made the journey to them on 3 separate occasions last year when I first received my iPhone for a different issue, the so called genius's could not fix the problem so they just gave me a new (refurbished) iPhone, which did not extend my warranty. I will not be taking the iPhone back to them as I believe they can not resolve many issues, this is why I am reaching out to the power of the people in the wider apple community.
    I have read in other forums about ifunbox and other programs for jail broken iPhones to isolate folders “iTunesDB” and "iTunesCDB" and delete them. If this is the issue is there a way to access these files through windows explorer as my iphone is not jailbroken.
    I hope I have provided enough information and someone can help me fix this issue. If I have left anything out, please let me know. I thank everyone in advance for your patience and support.
    Thanks

    Hi AM_Kidd.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
    My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
    Thanks again

  • New Hard drive, can't access certain aspects. Help needed please

    Hi everyone.
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea laptop.
    I've been having problems with the hard drive so got a new one installed.
    My main issues are since getting it back, I can't access any of the original HP installations etc (I've downloaded all the drivers I know about through HP).
    The 2 main things I'm missing are 2 things that came with the laptop.
    1: Beats Audio sound system 
    2: Video Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB DDR5)
    and I have no idea how to get them back. Can anyone help. Do I need to install specific drivers? I can't find any trace that they exist on my laptop now apart from the stickers on the laptop! Any help is greatly appreciated. 
    I never had any CD back ups for the laptop. I do have the old HP back up etc saved on a USB but I don't know enough about the folders and files to know what I need to look for. (I still have the old hardrive.)
    Again, any help is massively appreciated. Thank you!
    Tony 

    If you used your HP Recovery Media, all factory install drivers and software would have been installed. If you didn't create your HP Recovery Media when you first setup your computer, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer.
    If a generic Windows 7 installation disc was used, you will need to install all HP specific driver for your computer. Please try IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver, Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver, and AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver to resolve your missing drivers issues. Windows 7 64-bit driver for your computer can be found on the HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • New Squier USB Guitar won't connect to iMac or 13" Macbook

    Been struggling for the last couple days to get this thing to connect with the included cables to both 27" iMac & 13" Macbook. All GB software up to date and new firmware updates on guitar but no luck so far. iPad 2 & iPhone 4S will connect but they have issues as well and I have to restart GB. Anyone else having issues or know of a work around? 
    Thanks

    It seems that most problems/questions regarding 'GarageBand not working with MIDI hardware xyz or USB hardware xyz' is NOT related to GarageBand at all.
    The most important thing to understand when using an external device is that GarageBand can only communicate with it if OSX, your system recognizes it properly. Whenever an external device "is not working in GarageBand", you have to check you system FIRST. Check the System Preferences and Audio MIDI Setup utility before troubleshooting GarageBand.
    If the USB guitar doesn't show up in the System Preferences as an audio device then you might have a software issue (corrupted, outdated driver) or a hardware issue (faulty cable or USB port). These things are easy to narrow down if you have a second computer, different cable, etc
    Hope that helps

    Make sure that it is connected to a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 1.1 as 1.1 will not provide power for connectivity.
    Try it in a different USB port and see if it works

  • WHAT IS GOING ON?! help me please

    2006 new black macbook 80GB:
    I have had this computer for less than a week and already,
    the keyboard is not responding (numlock is not pressed)
    and the trackpad also doesnt register at all.
    I plugged in an external usb mouse, and it worked- I dont know if that helps the diagnosis at all.
    What is going on?
    help me please
    thank you!!!!
    MACBOOK (Black)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2006 (80GB)

    I had a bum keyboard on mine for which I had to return it to Apple. They were quick to give me a replacement laptop. I would call Apple Care or take it into the store (you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return the item and 1 year from the date of purchase for warranty replacement)
    This is not normal and is something you should have Apple fix for you.

  • BRAND NEW PHONE NOTHING BUT A MESS HELP ME PLEASE

    After charging my iPhone (Brand new 16GB 3GS) I go to sync it to my computer. My computer makes the 'ding' noise it does when you plug a USB in but it does it again immediately after.
    I FOLLOWED APPLE'S **** INSTRUCTIONS AND I GET THIS:
    Below is an example of the full error message this document relates to as given in Microsoft Windows XP.
    The software you are installing for this hardware:
    <device/driver name>
    has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. (Tell me why this testing is important.)
    Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operating of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
    *** am I going to do?! Help me please! I spent so much money on this phone for this?!

    I get that error ocassionally at the college where I work when we plug USB drives into the workstations. It is an XP error you sometimes get with newer hardware. You can select continue anyway, but I agree with the above poster to check and make sure you have the latest version of iTunes as it has all the latest drivers for the phones. That should solve your issue.

  • Trying to Hookup Yamaha THR10 USB guitar amp to Garageband.

    Hi !! I'm trying to hook-up a Yamaha THR10 Usb guitar amp to Garageband.
    The only way to get sound, unless recording, is to put the "Input" as Electric Guitar.  
    I'd rather not use this as the signal then goes through a simulated Mac amp. 
    If I use a "Real Intstument" Input I can only hear the sound after recording not during recording.
    Thank You for your help !!!

    Hello StephanieeLovezYou,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was only turning on when connected to power.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
