How do I use my external MIDI keyboard with Logic 7 and create MIDI data?

I have a Yamaha UX16 cord that goes from the MIDI IN & OUT of my keyboard to a USB jack to plug in my Mac. But I don't know how to set it up so I can record myself playing the keyboard via MIDI and then later switch the sound or instrument in the track.

Hi,
You need to set up your keyboard inside a utility ap. called Audio Midi Setup.
You find it here:
Applications / Utilities / Audio Midi Setup.app
Inside this application you should see your Yamaha UX16 as an interface with ports along the bottom of it. Create a new device and name it whatever your keyboard is named, and cable it to and from the Yamaha UX16.
If you do not see the Yamaha UX16, you need to install it's drivers. Consult your manual / the Yamaha website for details on this.
Once this is accomplished, you will then see the keyboard inside Logic, as a Midi input.
Dont' forget to read this document, to enlighten you as to how Logic works, as it is very different that Garageband:

I have the Logitech S530 keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with it while I was using it with 2 PowerMac G5 and one Dell XPS, but when I got the MacPro I found that it doesn't work with MacPro and a KVM switch. Logitech says their keyboard and mice are NOT made to work with KVM switches, but I didn't find that until I started using it with the Mac Pro.
The other small con is that the mouse is made for right handed people. On the other hand, I love the looks and feel of the keyboard and all the keys. It also will do the boot up holding down the Option key for choosing your startup drive and holding down the Shift key for Safe Mode, which the Kensington keyboard will not do.

How do I use an external hard drive with iMovie 10.0.1? I have run out of disk space on my Macbook Air.

How do I use an external drive with iMovie 10.0.1? It is not obvious and I have run out of space.

If you want to move a complete iMovie 10 library (file with .imovielibrary extension) click on the library in the libraries pane and select File - Consolidate Library Media. This ensures that all media is copied to the library. You can then move the library onto your external drive using Finder. The first time to want to access it from iMovie you will have to tell it where it is by choosing File - Open Library -Other and navigating to it.
If you only want to transfer part of a library to another drive, create a new library a at the desired location File - Open Library - New and copy projects and events to it from within iMovie.
Its all described in iMovie help - "Work with multiple libraries".

How do I use an external web cam with my Mac Pro on Skype?

I am trying to use my MAC Pro with an external web cam (Logitec C615) on Skype. I want to use the external so that I can pan and video a room full of people. Kind of hard to do with the built in cam.
How do I tell the Mac Pro to use the external for Skype and not the built in?

Go to Skype preferences, click on audio/video, and choose your camera from the drop down menu...

Using an external usb keyboard with garageband

Hi there, Recieved my 20' imac today and am delighted with it overall had no problems and all programs run smoothy. I installed my garageband jam packs (I have four which I bought from apple) and then plugged in my m-audio radium 49 (also purchased from apple) keyboard and was looking forward to giving garageband a good workout. Unfortunately my intel mac doesnt seem to recognise keyboard at all and will not work. As I have spent many hundreds of pounds on garageband extras does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this standard apple recommended keyboard (its still on sale on site with no mention of incompatibility with intel imac) to work.
Have tested keyboard on a g4 setup and it worked straight away in garageband any help would be most appreciated thanks
ipods, intel 20' imac with 2 gig of ram Mac OS X (10.4.4)

unfortunately I do not have a second mac (g5 or otherwise as I sold it when I bought new one lol) to try this method. I did notice m-audio had updated there drivers for osx 10.4 but unfortunately these drivers only work for g5/g4/g3 mac and not for the intel mac keyboards so at the moment I do not have a workaround for this problem. I have emailed m-audio and asked for a timeframe for drivers but have not received a response yet so at the moment I am unaware of any usb midi keyboard that works natively for a intel mac which is rather tragic lol as garageband is basically unuseable without a method of inputting midi but hopefully someone will prove me wrong and suggest a solution. On another issue my usb keyboard and mouse had the freezing problem that seems quite common but after a lengthy phonecall to apple I asked for a replacement wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse which I have received and can report works absolutely perfectly so there may have been a bad batch of usb keyboard/mouse combinations made. Otherwise everything is working perfectly and I am delighted with the new imac

How do you use the same wireless keyboard with multiple devices?

My apologies in advance if this question has been answered previously. There was nothing in the owner's manual (for the keyboard) that answered this. I did do a rough search that did not yield an answer to this:
I have one wireless keyboard I am using with my Macbook Pro. I understand this keyboard can also be used as an input device for my Apple TV and my iPhone - both of which I currently own.
And although I am able to use the keyboard with those devices, I am forced to "forget this device" after having used it on either the Apple TV or my iPhone so that I can use it on my MacBook Pro. Is there any combination of keys that one can press on the keyboard that would cycle through my three devices? As it is right now, if I don't "forget the device" on my secondary units, it somehow defaults to a peripheral OTHER than my MacBook Pro and I'd like for it to always default to my computer.
Thank you for any information/advice.

How do I use a runbook Activity on an Incident and Runbook Initialize Data activity to sync and get the GUid from the Incident?

I currently have a runbook running every hour to attach Incidents Templates to Problems. I would like to just add a runbook activity to the Incident Template to activate the runbook, and only link that Incident to the problem it needs to be attached to.
I don't know how to set-up my Initialize Data activity in my runbook to load the calling Incidents GUID though.
I'm very new to Orchestrator, so please be detailed in your directions.
The way my runbook works now is, I make my incident templates have the PR # they are for in the Alt Contact Block. My runbook searched for that, and then loads the PR# it has there and creates the relationship between the two, and then deletes that PR# so
it doesnt hit on the next search.
I would like my activity that calls the runbook to pass the Incident GUID to the runbook, so my runbook only has to query the PR# included in the incident, and create the relationship that way.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

This might help:
Working With Relationships in the SCSM Orchestrator Integration Pack
Basically, you'll receive the ID of the runbook automation activity from Service Manager, which you can then use with the Get Object and Get Relationship to get the runbook activity object, then get the incident object related to it. I realize this is confusing,
but there should be more info out there to search on as well. Hope that helps.

How can I use my external hard drive with my new (firewire-less) MacBook?

I read in another post that the available firewire adapters don't work for external hard drives. So how can I get my music, etc. off my external hard drive and onto my new computer?

Like the second or third one in this picture?

They are USB ports - the smaller one is a mini-USB (like you might find on a digital camera) and the third is a USB-B port (such as on a printer). You can use a mini or standard USB cable (depending on the port) to connect it to your Macbook.

How can i use an external hard drive with my ipad

I just got a new ipad 2 I am trying to see it is possible to connect a external hard drive to take my picture and documents with me.

Basically you can't, though there are a few (fairly expensive) drives coming onto the market which are said to be compatible. There is no USB port on the iPad, and the optional camera connection kit is only for the transfer of photos/videos, so wouldn't recognise other file types - if you were able to connect a drive via it then the drive would need it's own power source, the photos would have to be in a specific format, and there is still no guarantee that it would work.
There are apps available for the iPad which can use/access cloud services such as Dropbox.

Can I use an external drive for Time Machine and storing other data?

At the moment I have one external drive, a 500gb LaCie. My internal drive is 160gb. I don't think I'll be using all 500 of those gigabytes for a while, so I want to put them to good use. Can I make a partition on this drive and use that for Time Machine, leaving the rest of the drive for my documents and other files? If so, how would I partition the drive? I'm not fluent in Disk Utility and even though I'm pretty sure I know how to do it, I don't want to screw up. Also, how big a partition would you recommend?
While we're here, I have a second question, somewhat relevant to the first. Could I move my Time Machine backups to a second drive if I wanted to? Also, if I used a big drive (say 1tb) could I use Time Machine to backup my current LaCie to a partition on that drive? Thanks in advance.

Does that also mean that I could back them both up on a very big drive?
Yes. Time Machine will, by default, back up all of your external drives unless you specifically exclude them.
Also, will Time Machine backups eat all my space after a lot of usage?
It depends on what you do on your Mac. If you work often with very large files (video editing, heavy photo editing, big disk images, Microsoft Entourage data file, Parallels disk image file, etc) then your backup drive could fill up very quickly.
I use my Mac mostly for e-mail, web browsing, iTunes, iPhoto, and the occasional iMovie project. I have 92 GB on my main hard drive (60 GB of which are my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and one iMovie project.) My Time Machine backups consume 155GB on my backup drive, and that's after using Time Machine for a full year.

Using an external hard drive with Logic Pro X ?

Hi, I am currently running a 2012 MacBook Pro and just installed Logic Pro X. I have a 500 GB, 7200 RPM G Drive Mini using USB 3.0.
Wanting to save space on my internal hard drive, and not tax my system, if necessary? How do I go about recording and saving projects on my external drive. Any and all details of running this type of setup would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi JacksonFroAR,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
See the Logic Pro X User Guide for information on storing your project assets on an external drive:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#professionalsoftware
Manage project assets (pg. 155)
When you create or save a project, you can choose whether the assets you use in your project are saved in the project, or referenced from their location on your computer or a connected storage device.
Cheers,
Jeremy

How to make use of XMLDB to process large XML and create spatial objects

For someone new to XMLDB I find it hard to make sense of the enormous amount of information (and easy to get lost in it). So I come here to ask for directions.
I have to build a procedure that fills a table of spatial objects based on XML input. Basically the XML contains a large amount of elements that describe the geometry type and contain the geometries coordinates. The XML can get quite large (200-300Mb).
Somehow I have to process each element and create an sdo_geometry object.
Now let me ask a very broad question: What would be a good way to handle this?

I have the same question. Any news on this?
