  • How to set up an existing Yamaha N12 with a new iMac

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I just bought a Yamaha N12 mixer Dec 2009 last month and been trying it with my MacBook Pro. It's firmware has been updated to work with the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver, and it's been communicating fine with the my MacBook Pro.
    Now the problem. I just bought an iMac 27' running Mac OS X 10.6.2 last week.
    How should I get the N12 to talk to my iMac? What sequence of driver installation should I go about?
    Should install all the Tools for n/mLan drivers that came with the N12 installation discs still? And then carry on with installing the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver over it? Or can I straight away install the latest Yamaha Steinberg FW driver?
    I'm afraid of technical problems as I might have screwed up my first iMac's firewire 800 port when I installed the Yamaha Steinberg FW driver straight away. Luckily the Mac shop was kind enough and willing to give me a one for one replacement of the iMac due to the firewire port problem. I'm not sure to what extend the firewire800 port problem might have with the FW driver installation or if it was a manufacturing defect. In anycase, its a one-time only exchange. And I now have the replacement iMac, and the firewire800 port is working fine. I'm now hesitant to install anything so that the iMac can talk to my N12 in the worry that it might affect anything if I did the wrong steps especially the firewire 800 port.
    Please help if you might know of the correct steps? i just want my N12 to talk to my new iMac without any possible spoiling of my firewire 800 port due to wrong installation steps on my part.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.
    Regards,
    BG

    What does Yamaha's User Manual says about driver installation? Did you follow the instructions as indicated with your 1st iMac? Are there any notes in the driver installation instructions saying that there is a risk of damaging a FireWire port when you do something in the wrong order? If so, you must follow these instruction carefully in order not to screw up the 2nd iMac, I presume.
    However, from my experience, you can't really "screw up" a port by installing a driver. But you must also be aware that the driver has to be suitable for the current operating system of your iMac (that is for Snow Leopard or Mac OSX 10.6.2)

  • Transfer info to new iMac?

    I just purchased a new 27" iMac, which I will get in January. How do I transfer over all the information from my present iMac to the new one?

    Rather than use migration assistant, another approach is to manually transfer just what you need (from your identity on your preexisting mac) and then reinstall your applications. That way, you don't inadvertently transfer corrupted files and you start with a fresh slate on your new Mac.
    You can start up your old mac with the T pushed down, engaging Target Mode, and plug it into your new mac with a Firewire cable. To your new mac, your old mac will just look like a hard drive. Then, you select the folders on your old computer you'd like to be on your new one, and simply slide them over.

  • How many sets of wireless headphones can I connect to my iPad at one time?

    How many sets of wireless headphones can I connect to my iPad at one time?

    Did you mean Bluetooth? One. Did you mean FM or infrared, driven from the 3.5mm output jack? Any number of them, assuming you use the same frequency to receive the stream.

  • WRT54G router set up, Wireless network found, but cant connect.

    I've had this router working for over a year but for whatever reason, it stopped working about a week ago. Powering off the router and cable modem usually works but not this time, so I attached a cable from a laptop to the router and tried to run the setupWRT54G setup CD. After step 7, it kept repeating itself in a loop... trying to reconfigure the router and asking for the password. Finally, I exited and the window message box said "Setup is not complete, continue exiting?"  So I accessed the router setup thru IE via the cable:  Http:\\192.168.1.1 and set up the network and gave it a new name, channel 7, etc. My wife can access the network from her work laptop via wireless, so its working for her. As for the other laptop and other desktop in our home, when we search for available networks, we can see out network and click "Connect", ... supply the router password that I issued in the router setup, but it says that it cant connect after a minute of trying. What have I done wrong? One laptop can access the network and two cant. Before last week, all 3 could access the wireless network. FYI - I downloaded and installed ther latest fimware from the LINKSYS website (V8.XX), but no difference. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

    Keep in mind that the router setup password is not the same thing as the encryption key that you use to connect wirelessly to the router.
    If it works normally from your wife's computer, I'd be looking at the settings on your computer first, rather than the router's.
    In network -> TCP/IP -> properties is it set to get an IP address automaticaly?
    If the above aren't the issue, I would do a hardware reset of the router back to factory defaults and enter your settings again from scratch. That's a recommended step after upgrading or reloading the firmware anyway, even if you weren't having this trouble

  • How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver

    How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver?

    Depending on how you have your AirPort Extreme configured to work with the satellite receiver, it may or may not be possible to enable the Guest Network function.
    We will need to check some settings on your Mac or PC, but in order to do that, we need to know what operating system you are using on your computer.
    If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

  • How can i sync numbers from my iPad to my new iMac?

    how can i sync numbers from my ipad to my new imac?

    If you mean spreadsheets from within the Numbers app on your iPad to your computer's iTunes then there are instructions here. If you mean that you want to copy the Numbers app from the iPad to your computer then you can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases; but if you want to use Numbers on your Mac then you will need to buy the Mac OS X version.

    You shouldn't disable Spotlight completely; Apple's App Store relies on it to keep track of updates to software you've downloaded and permit you to update them when they're available. Instead, in Spotlight preferences, uncheck everything in "Search Results." Spotlight will still run for OS and App Store purposes but won't be useful for your search needs any longer. Instead, check out EasyFind in the App Store. It's fast, flexible, and will search external drives Spotlight hasn't indexed.

    Anyone know how to get harman kardon soundsticks II to work on new iMac Mavericks??

    I'm using the original HK Soundsticks on a 2013 MacBook Air running Mavericks.
    Don't they show up in the Sound Preferences?  Are they plugged directly into your iMac?
    Little more info would help.

  • How do I translate word perfect old files for my new iMac?

    How do I translate Word Perfect old files for my new iMac?  They are transferred from a 13-year-old Dell.  My McLink did not work.
    Thanks.

    The current version of the free LibreOffice continues to support Word Perfect documents. OpenOffice had to drop this support due to licensing issues. LO installs in two places: /Applications and your local Library/Application Support directory. Simple to install. Simple to remove. Good PDF documentation from their site. It is a capable MS Office replacement.
    I just opened a wpd legal deposition in LO and it looked fine.
