How do I access NI's Komplete instruments like FM8, etc in Garageband?

Hello. I have a 2007 15-inch MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.3, a LaCie Rugged external hard drive connected via FireWire on which I keep many Native Instruments VSTs such as FM8, B4 and Abysyth, and an M-Audio Axiom Pro 61-key keyboard controller.
I'm just learning to use Garageband, but couldn't figure out how to get Garageband to launch Native Instruments' Komplete instruments like Absynth, FM8, B4, etc. in much the same way as Logic or Ableton Live is supposed to be able to do. As I looked through the Garageband user manual, I don't see anything about accessing software instruments like FM8 or anything that isn't already included in Garageband.
After getting frustrated with that, I remembered that M-Audio included a copy of Live Lite 7 with my keyboard controller, which I downloaded to my MacBook Pro hard drive. Upon launch, Ableton told me there was a newer version, Live Lite 8.
When I first downloaded Live Lite I tried to get it to look for my Native Instruments VSTs so I could access them in Live Lite. I believe that process worked but I never had the chance to even do one project in Live Lite.
More recently I decided to move my Native Instruments VSTs from one LaCie hard drive that had my iPhoto Library and iTunes Library on it, to a separate LaCie rugged hard drive that would only hold my Native Instruments VSTs, any new songs I recorded, etc. This process seemed to work out.
Today I tried to launch Live Lite in order to record a song with FM8. I also wanted to try out a Duet audio interface I received last week. Unfortunately when I opened Live Lite, I got that Apple "spinning beach ball" and the program froze right away, while it was saying it was "scanning for 'custom' VSTs." I tried several times to open Live Lite but to no avail. I am disappointed that I cannot use the program at all.
Is it because of the fact that I moved the Native Instruments from one hard drive to another? Is there possibly something wrong with NI instruments like Absynth, FM8, B4 and others? One other soft synth I recently downloaded and wanted to include in Live Lite was Sonic Charge's Synplant, but I deleted it when I grew concerned that a VST was causing Live Lite to freeze. I also tried to download Live Lite's latest version again from the Internet and replace the previously downloaded version, but it was still hanging.
I do know that the VSTs like FM8 are located in the Library folder, but I was not sure if that fact was causing Ableton to look for the VSTs in the wrong place.
So in summary, I would really like to work in Garageband (and eventually Logic Studio when I can buy it) and have complete access to instruments like FM8, Absynth, etc., including all the parameters and effects. But I can't seem to launch those instruments in Garageband. Failing that, I'd love to do the same thing in Ableton, but that program won't even launch. (That's probably a separate problem and requires questions for a different forum.)
Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Out of curiosity, why are you installing VST's over AU's?
Assuming you have installed your FM8 etc an an AU plugin, in GarageBand you need to create a new software track. Then click the Edit tab in the Track info pane on the right side of GB's User interface. At the top of the list you will see the 'Sound Generator.' Click the Name - top option to reveal your Audio Unit Module list. Your 3rd party AU's including FM8 will be listed there. Click it and it will be loaded the the new sound generator. Then click the picture icon to the left to reveal the User Interface for your chosen AU.
I run Live 8 fine. All of the AU's I use in GB can be used in Live.

How can I access Gmail's web settings (like away messages) on iPad?

I have gmail set up with Mail, and I can access the web app to send and search email fine. But the full web app does not load well or function. I cannot access settings, like Labs or filters or managing multiple From accounts.
Does anyone know how to get the full gmail experience on iPad?

How to gain access to "what's new in Leopard" etc since HELP in OS is dead

Since the links in my Apple HELP seem to be dead in spite of trying all of the suggestions here on the board (and apparently I'm not alone - others are having problems with Apple HELP as well), does anybody have an alternative way I can gain access to these links?
I just got my Mac and was hoping to sit down and take a little tour, et al to become acquainted with new features, etc. of this newest of Apple's OS. Suggestions?

I have no idea what is wrong. If, instead of typing something in the Search box, you simply click the Mac Help link below the search box does the Help viewer launch? If not, what message do you see in the Console?
Since the stuff is all written in perfectly normal html, it used to be relatively easy to browse the help files with Safari. That is no longer the case, since they has seen fit to make all the links some weirdo thing that automatically opens the Help Viewer. However, all the pages are actually here:
"/Library/Documentation/Help/MacHelp.help"
Control click and select "Show Package Contents" then open the Contents folder, the Resources folder and English.lproj folder. All the html pages are in there, and each one will open when double clicked in Safari. However because the links specify something strange, clicking on one opens the page in Help Viewer rather than Safari. It is possible to figure out what is where, but it isn't easy and it isn't convenient. You would be better off to just browse Apple's web site, starting here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/
Personally, I find the new Help more annoying that helpful anyway--the Help window is programmed to always stay on top, thus making it impossible to work back and forth between it and whatever you are doing, unless you have two monitors and can move it to the second monitor.

How do I get the Jam Pack instruments downloaded from mainstage 3 to show up in Garageband '11?

I downloaded and installed Mainstage 3 to be able to download the jam pack instruments and loops that come with it and use them in Garageband '11. I read that I can use the software instruments in the program, however none of the jam packs I downloaded show up in the list of software instruments in Garageband.
I clicked on the menu which tells me if I want to display 'Garageband','my settings' or 'All' of the instruments, but no 'Jam Pack' option shows up.
how do I get the jam pack instruments to show up in Garageband? I want to know how you import the instruments in the program.

It looks like nobody here is already using Mainstage 3 with GarageBand, since there is no need to upgrade from mainstage 2 while it is still working. What you are reading here on Mainstage, JamPacks, and GB has been tested with Mainstage 2 but not 3.
Did you download all contents for Mainstage? WIth Mainstage 2 the JamPAcks were part of a separate download. Launch Mainstage 3, and check, if there is a menu entry somewhere that will let you download additional contents. If you do not see any JamPacks directly, they may be bundled with "Logic" or "Legacy" items.
In Mainstage 2 it looks like this. Your version probably has a different panel.
Once everything has been installed, reboot.

Alex,
have you tried everything in this thread? The problem seems to be different for everybody:
If nothing helps try dagon's full monty for a reinstall:
Re: GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops
Or a manual download using the Terminal as mteep suggests:

Hey,
Most devices come with a list that says what variables correspond to what Modbus registers. This device looks like it might not be using Modbus. Do you have documentation saying it's using Modbus?

How do I access the web utility with model cisco sf302-08p ?

Hi,i have a problem with the model Cisco SB SF302-08PP Switch , i connect a cable rj45 to my pc and configure the adapter local area connection (ip address:192.168.1.252), the LEDs blink green, and go to the address bar and get the IP by default, which according to the manual is 192.168.1.254 and the result is: page not found. Is there any way to change the web utility? How do I access the web utility?

restore the switch by holding more than 30 seconds and try accessing with ip 192.168.1.254. username and password is "cisco". before change your base ip to 192.168.1.2-253.try to ping and check the connectivity

Help! I am making an iPhoto book and all of a sudden it will not open and I get a huge error message which is supposedly sent to Apple. How do I access that site????

Mac osX 10.6.8
iBook - old version
can not access Safari - going through Chrome
All of a sudden my IBook would not open (100 pages and almost finished)
Error message sent to Apple - how do I access them??????
Thank you for any help you can give me
<Email Edited by Host>

Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened? Did you add a page with a map?
Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable. In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link: Getting rid of problem photo book

How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
iCloud then three options
set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly. So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though . Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar. Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend. The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking). Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem. I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

I sent my iphone for repair. before I sent it I did a backup (on the 7th of august). no i got my phone back but in iTunes I only see a backup from 21st of july. How can I access my latest back up?

I sent my iPhone to Apple for repair. Before I sent it I did a backup (on the 7th of August). Today I got it back, but my iTunes only shows me a backup from 21st july and from today. How can I access my backup from 7th of august?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

How to allow access to winrs for non-admin user?

I have Windows Server 2012 (and Server 2008, but it is next priority) to monitor it using txwinrm. txwinrm library internally is using WinRS protocol. I have to monitor it using least privileged user, but don't know how to configure access for him.
All I managed to do - is to configure remote Powershell session for my user, but it's look like that winrs and powershell sessions have different security descriptors:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential Administrator $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential lpu1 $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:Administrator -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:lpu1 -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# Gives Winrs error: Access is denied.
Configuration for my user is following:
(Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\RootSDDL).value
# O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1141)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GWGX;;;WD)
(Get-PSSessionConfiguration -name Microsoft.Powershell).SecurityDescriptorSddl
# O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1149)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GXGW;;;WD)
(In each security descriptor my user is given general access to protected object).
So what security descriptor should I set to make my winrs query work for non-admin user?

Hi Bunyk,
I can not recreate the erroe you posted, and please also post the screenshoot in your convenience.
I tested with a non-domain user but has the local admin permission of the remote computer, and this worked, before running the remote cmdlet in powershell, I also configured the TrustedHosts.
In addition, the access denied could be also caused to the Protocol Filtering on the remote server, for more detailed information, please refer to this thread:
winrs error:access is denied
I hope this helps.

How do I access my airport extreme drives online

how do I access my airport extreme drives over the internet?

Here are the basic steps to share an AirPort Disk over the Internet.
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
Click Connect.
You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
Click Connect.
