I am having trouble with my audio software and CoreAudio (seemingly)
Hi. I use my computer to run several audio-based programs on my Macbook such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live and junXion. Today, when practicing a laptop-based set with a friend, I used firewire into a Digidesign interface (I can't remember the exact make). In order to get this connection to work, I installed Avid's 002 firewire drivers.
Everything worked fine, however later on, after I had disconnected and shut down etc, I was unable to open any of my software that requires CoreAudio. This is quite worrying honestly. They just bounce on the dock for a while but do not open. It seems to stop when it gets to 'Checking MIDI Drivers', and then eventually (after quite a while might I add), it estimates that something is wrong with the MIDI drivers and asks to restart. I have done this several times but nothing has changed.
I noticed that in my audio devices (both input and output), it still says 'Digi CoreAudio Device', even though I am obviously no longer connected to that. I decided to try deleting the 002 firewire drivers from Avid, but this came to no avail, and it still says on my audio devices that the Digi CoreAudio Device is still there.
What is the problem here? Can anyone help me?
Fortunately, my Alesis M1 Active 320 USB monitors still work, and appear in my audio devices whenever I plug them in, and then disappear when disconnected. But it seems that something relating to to these Avid drivers have truly caused everything to go haywire.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you.
Ben
Here are some screenshots. Please let me know if you wish to have more informtion.
Aha! I have sorted it.
For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and I really like it. However, for my job I have to use Calyx Point software which has to be ran on the Windows side, so they sold me VMware Fusion software. It works fine until I try to save a PDF or email docs. I have called Calyx and they have advised me that bootcamp works. I am wondering if this is going to help and since I have already installed VMware am I not going to have to uninstall that program, Windows and Point and then install bootcamp and reinstall Windows and Point? If I'm beating my head against the wall, and just need to return the laptop, then that's what I will do, but I sure hate to as I really like my Mac.
Checked VMware Fusion Community Forum?
Most install Windows (natively) and then 'attach' the (Boot Camp) partition to Fusion.
that way you can dual boot and run Windows natively when needed, and run Windows as a Guest OS VM under Mac OS.
But.... and I don't know about Calyx, doing things like save pdf and email should work fine same as usual.
Maybe there is something you didn't or need to do to Fusion (Tools or install Acrobat) or in configuring.
I used Fusion but found I prefered running Windows natively at the time.
If you do need to use one install in both manners, then you need to do through and partition your drive and reinstall Windows that way, and only then attach Fusion to it.
If you need to run Windows for work, I'd exchange it - especially if you have only had it a couple days, and get another. There are a lot of new laptops coming out in the next months that look nice, fast and won't have some of the issues you run into with Windows on a Mac. -
WWith the new ios7, I became frustrated in using my iPad3..I'm using Skype as my main communications with my love ones back home,now it seems that ios7 doesn't help me a lot for I'm having trouble with my audio communication coz my family can't hear anything from me.. My skype doesn't have any options or settings that I can check with to see if I can fix it...I need help...please if any of u knows how to fix it..I would greatly appreciate it...
You can try removing app then reinstalling. If that doesn't work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

You need to be more specific. What sort of trouble - no audio, low volume, scratchy sound, etc.?

Having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper
I've been having trouble with pop-up windows and ads for MacKeeper and similar "services." Tried to download "MPlayerX" a week ago and it all started then. I thought I deleted the file but I'm still having trouble. I've been digging for solutions on here, but nothing I've found on here has worked yet--the VSearch stuff (I think) isn't on my hard drive. Any advice?
You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.venus.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.venus.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/venus
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

I'm having trouble with my 'sound up' and 'sound down' keys. They're doing other functions. This is only a relatively new thing.
You didn't mention what those "other functions" were. That might help!
First thing to check is System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab - make sure "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" is un-checked. Hopefully that still works in Mountain Lion. -

Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.
OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
Go figure? Logical, No! -
I am having trouble with my Apple ID and AppStore
Here are the steps I have taken and the results:
Changed my Apple ID with new email address.
Changed my iCloud with above new email address.
NOW - Apple ID appears correct in AppStore Settings, iCloud and AppStore*
If I scroll to bottom of screen in *App Store/Featured, I can see that the Apple ID is my new email.
Upon “updating” Apple ID reflects OLD email.
Deleted accounts, re-added accounts.
Signed out and signed in with new UN/Email
Issue remains the same.To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again. If prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.

Newbie having trouble with M-Audio Interface
I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I cannot get my M-Audio FireWire 1814 to be recognized by my Mac, I've reinstalled the software multiple times and still it tells me that there is no device. (I've been careful not to hot-plug the FireWire connection). Here's my setup: IMac, (running OS X.4.8), Logic Express, M-Audio FireWire 1814, and Korg Trition Studio. I'd appreciate any help.
-Crog
IMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)i don't think that is what the org poster meant. i think they were meaning that he hasn't blown his firewire connection, and that he is letting the m-audio driver load at startup.
i don't think that it had anything to do with m-audio being hot plugable.

Having trouble with my airport wireless and connecting to FIOS
I had FIOS installed right after the holidays and have been having trouble getting my mac and airport to connect wirelessly to FIOS. I have an actiontec router and have changed it to a WPA security key. I worked on it about two weeks ago and got it working, not even sure what I changed. Then we got the last software update and it must have changed a setting back because it will no longer work. I can connect via a cable, just not wirelessly. It will say it found the network and is connected, but I can't get to the internet. Any help would be appreciated?
It sounds like your wireless connection is working correctly. You have power cycled all devices on the network, correct?
If not, power everything off for a few minutes, start the modem/router first and let it run a few minutes by itself, then start your computer(s).
If still no luck, can you temporarily disable the security on your network to see if you can connect that way? If you can, then it will take some experimenting to find a compatible setting between the router and computer(s).
If you can't connect with no security, then the focus turns to the router settings. Not sure what to suggest there as I'm not familiar with the FIOS equipment. -
Downloaded new OS and having trouble with wifi, bluetooth Facebook and Skype performance
Dowloaded 10.2.1.537
When I first loaded this it had a lot of trouble finding my Wifi again and would disengage. Problem went away after a few hours but it recurred this am. Also affected Facebook.
Skype is loading more slowly and jumps to a black screen for 10-20 seconds. Then it will load and function but only for a few seconds to a minute and then shuts off completely.
Launching Skype also resultd in my bluetooth headset being disengaged sometimes.
Reinstalled Skype to see if that fixed anything.
Tried turning off bluetooth to see if that fixed the skype problem - nope still disengaged.
Cycled my router and cable and still no fix...
Running Z30
Would love to get a fix on this.Hello,
Given all of your issues, I'd guess that something did not go well with the update, and a clean reload would be in order. You accomplish that either through the LINK software or by obtaining an AutoLoader.
Good luck!

Having trouble with InDesign CS4, fonts and newspaper RIP
Hi all,
I am the production manager for a student newspaper. We've been having random font issues where text is missing or replaced with Myriad ever since we upgraded from CS3 to CS4. Our printer is saying that we may have different font versions installed on different workstations. But the machines (Intel iMacs running 10.5) are all running the same disk image, and we had no font issues when we ran CS3 on them previously (indentical font folder on every machine).
Additionally, we've had similar problems with camera-ready ad files since moving to CS4. I can't control the fonts my customers use, so how to do I rectify this with CS4? In the past we never had any problems once we made a X-1a PDF that sanitized everything.
Are there any known issues with newspaper RIPs and X-1a PDFs generated from InDesign CS4? Everything looks, prints and preflights 100% okay in-house. I have opened an affected PDF on OS X, Vista, in Acrobat and Preview and printed on genuine PostScript (Ricoh SP C811DN and Ricoh SP 8200) as well as non-PostScript printers (a little HP 1012) and cannot replicate the issue on my end, so it seems like a RIP issue to me.
I could roll everyone back to CS3 but that would be a lot of work, and we really like CS4 otherwise ... so, any ideas?
Here is a PDF you can check out. Please let me know if you see any problems with it.
http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/frontpage.pdf
Here is a scan of the printed page where fonts had randomly been replaced with Myriad:
http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/markedup.jpg
Preflight okay:
http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/preflight.jpg
I'm not sure if it's kosher to mention the printer's name, but this is a big one who prints national papers and one of our big local dailies, not Crazy Jim's Discount Printing or anything like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
AdamAdam,
OK, we've got your file here at Adobe. Although it preflights correctly for PDF/X, running a custom preflight profile with Acrobat 9 Pro shows font problems. (I've attached the preflight report.) The problems are not severe enough to prevent normal display and simple PostScript printing of your file, but possibly really doing a job with less forgiving software that your newspaper printer is using as part of their workflow.
Without knowing what that software and workflow is exactly, there isn't much I can do other than speculate. But there is something technically wrong with the
Bureau Grotesque and
Miller Display font families you are using? Are they OpenType fonts? Were they originally in OpenType format or did someone convert them? Anyway, if you can get permission to send me off-list the content and fonts, we would love to analyze what's going on here!
