Track levels automatically max out with midi devices since update

Hello,
Since the last mountain lion update, I've had problems with USB midi inputs via USB on my 2011 MacBook air. Specifically, the volume level on each track will automatically go to the max volume setting and cannot be adjusted if I plug in a midi device.
So if I have one track that is a midi keyboard and another track that is a guitar, the tracks will allow me to play at the volume I set for a few seconds, then the track volume slider will go to max on its own.
Once I unplug the midi device, the track volume goes back to normal.

Hi DaniBCN
What versions of software are you using? LabVIEW 8 but what about NI-VISA? . You can download the lastest versions from ww.ni.com/downloads.
What scope are you using? What bus (GPIB, ENET, USB)? Here is a great resource to comunicate with tek scopes
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/202E14463D2D819F86256C39005D7828?OpenDocument
I know NI has a great relationship with tektronics (tek has a LV version inside the open scopes, NI has develop a specific version of SignalExpress for Tek scopes)
Hope it helps.

Delete a Midi device controller - Logic Pro X

Hello,
I got problems with Midi device controller. I've installed (manually) the driver of the Axiom 49 (2nd Gen) which is not working well. I decided so to change with the Impulse 49 by Novation. The problems I got is that I cannot delete the Axiom 49 device from the ; Logic Pro X > Controller device > settings >Delete.... nothing happens. furthermore at each start of Logic, I got a warning that the device is not connected.
I tried to reset all settings Midi drivers in the preferences of Logic Pro X but even with no success.
Thank you in advance to give me a way to get rid of this problem.
Regards,
Thomas

Feet1st.....
Typically you should do your research before you start throwing subs
Ummmm... maybe you should take your own advice?
I've seen this happen several times and in every case it relates to a specific driver installed and how it was installed..
It doesn't happen with other drivers.... which leads one to realize its probably not specifically a LP issue as such but more likely related to the specific driver itself....or a file/folder/User permissions issue..
Example.. I just went and deleted all my surfaces (various different HUI/Motu/Korg devices via the CSS GUI and each one deleted without issue.... and remained deleted...
Then I installed a Novation Impulse driver... tried to delete it and it didn't correctly delete.... I also re-installed a Logic Remote and Transport drivers and they all continue to delete as normal...
Again, this only happens with certain drivers and not all... so my suspicions are its more likely driver specific related (maybe permissions related too) than LP related though of course there is a possibility it is both.....
I'll post up screenshots in the following post....

Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Bluetooth shuttted down after I updated to Mavericks, please help me !
I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
until I updated him from SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD and the APPLE MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
I asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

dietmarfromdeu,
if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?

Automatically mount USB 3.0 WD External HDD with iMac 24-inch mid-2007

I am using a 2TB Western Digital (WD) My Book Essential external Hard Disk Drive for my iMac 24-inch mid-2007 to use it as a Time Machine backup disk. This HDD only comes with a USB 3.0 connection.
Function-wise, it works with the iMac and Time machine uses it for backup without any issues.
However, the following problem occurs at every restart: the HDD does not mount automatically. And Time Machine stops backuping. To make it work again, I have to either unplug/replug the power cable of the HDD or unplug/plug the USB cable of the HDD so it mounts again and can be used by Time Machine. When unmounted, I tried to see if the disk was at least visible in Disk Utility so I could mount it from there but it does not appear in Disk Utility until I physically unplug/plug it back again.
For troubleshooting purposes, I have tried to use this HDD with my MacBook Pro Retina 2013 and I don't have the same problem as the HDD mounts itself automatically when I restart.
So I assume the problem reside in the way the iMac mid-2007 handle USB 3.0 as it was probably manufactured before the USB 3.0 standard was developped.
Would anyone know a possible workaround for this issue? I don't have too many hopes but one never knows...

I am using Mavericks 10.9.1.
The problem was also occuring when I was running Mountain Lion.
It looks backward compatible to me except when it comes to automatically mount itself after a restart.

Audio to midi error - check conflict with external device - apogee rosetta

hey there
i have a problem and any help is much appreciated..
basically i am running a quad xeon dual 2.66 machine under 10.4.10 and using logic 7.2. 1 gig ram.
i am using a apogee rosetta 800 with the option x firewire card for my audio interface.
whenever i set a track up to record and 'play' logic i get a message saying,
'unable to sync audio to midi check conflict with external device' and then it says something like sample rate 43021 recognised.. something close to 44100 but not quite..
so i think my problem is a clocking/sync one maybe? i have tried everything i could think of, including fixes suggested on the forums here, but nothing so far seems to help e.g making sure autosync in on the transport is unchecked, checking audio MIDI setup.
worryingly with the few problems similar to this on the forums there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it!!
anybody who could help would be a lifesaver.. this is destroying my workflow!! emailed apogee and im waiting for a reply.
thank you very much
richie

Hi,
Ok, then there can be a few more possibilities,
Try this: unplug your Rosetta, and any other FireWire devices you might have. Basicallly you want to start Logic with the internal audio.
If this works ok, then it is not an issue with the Mac's hardware, and is an issue with a FW device.
Then, quit Logic, and plug in the Rosetta by itself. Boot Logic, and select it as the audio interface. Try playing stuff back. does it work? If yes, then the issue is with another FW device. If there is a issue, then there might be a corrupt driver, a bad FW cable, etc. Keep trying one by one to go through re-installing the drivers, and also try changing the FW cable. If this still does not solve it, there might be an issue with the Mac OS 10.4.10. You might need to install Pro App support 4.0. Also, there was a fix available from Apple not so long ago specifically for FW audio devices. Please do a search in Apple's suport site for "FireWire audio device" and see if you find the patch.
If the Rosetta works when it is the only FW device hooked up to the Mac, then you have a conflict with another device, like a FW hard drive, etc... check each one until you find the culprit.
Cheers

We have an iMac 24-inch Mid 2007 with maximum of 4G bytes of SDRAM, with OX X 10.9.4 Mavericks. It is routinely locking-up with the rainbow wheel. Especially with iTunes and Safari. Ideas?

We have an iMac 24-inch Mid 2007 with maximum of 4G bytes of SDRAM, with OX X 10.9.4 Mavericks. It is routinely locking-up with the rainbow wheel. Especially with iTunes and Safari.
I'm wondering it it that Mavericks simply uses more RA that the machine allows when also running application, but I don't see the RAM is being maxed out per se' when in Activity Monitor either. I've also ran the Disk Utility and have run scans wit Sophos, looking for malware, but have found no issues.
Any ideas? Any better Malware/Spyware applications?

IMac won't recognize midi device

IMac won't recognize midi device (Roland Fantom) which is connected via USB only; no midi interface. I have rebooted both the Roland and the iMac, still no go. I have manually added the midi device under Audio Midi setup, still none of my apps will recognize the device; Logic Pro, ProTools and Sibelius. How do I get this configured? I've read through some other posts and nothing has worked.

Its standard for all computers - if you have 3rd party things that do not work - contact that company - they may have a driver for you to download specific for mac.
Some 3rd party things are windows only - probably same for Mac.

Is it possible to use Garageband in conjunction with external midi devices?

We want to set up a music project for people with disabilities, using Garageband and various external midi devices, such as a 'Roland' keyboards, 'Alesis' AirFX, 'Alesis' SynthFX, soundbeam, 'Norton' sound sequencer etc.....is it possible?? We have used all this equipment with 'Steinberg Cubasis' software, but now want to try it with Garageband if it is possible!! Help?????!!!

The display brightness can't be adjusted in Windows 7 under Bootcamp 4, iMac 21.5 (mid 2011) with ATI Radion 6770M..

The display brightness of my iMac 21.5 (mid 2011, with ATI Radeon 6770M) can't be adjusted in Windows 7 installed under Bootcamp 4. I tried moving the brightness glider either with apple keyboard hotkeys (on-screen glider), or within Windows control panel brightness control (within the power option), but the brightness remains the same. I've had all software (Lion, bootcamp, windows 7) up to date. Please help. Thanks.

I posted a similar case to yours a month ago and it seems we're in a minority on the problem. What I have learned over this month was that Bootcamp drivers version 4 (Designed around OS Lion) was a BIG part of my issue with the ATI video. The new IMacs seems to require a customized by Apple Verion 3.2 or 3.3 to operate normally. Sadly, it's not as easy as just backing off version 4 and going onto 3.2 and getting the video slider back. You need to reload Windows and avoid Bootcamp 4.0 as it seems a piece of V4 gets stuck in Windows. I'm putting this suggestion to practise this week, guess I'll have more to say later.

No midi device with X-Fi Audio / Vi

running Vista Ultimate 32bit, with a X-Fi Extreme Audio with the latest drivers. when using Cakewalk or any other midi app, i cannot select the X-Fi as a midi device?for midi file playback, all i have is the Microsoft Midi Mapper. the X-Fi is not listed!?any ideas???

Not even if it tries real hard,
X-Fi Xtreme Audio
The entry-level model of the X-Fi series, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, does not actually have the EMU20K chip but is a re-branded Audigy SE, using the same family of chips (CA006-WBTLF), and even the same drivers[6]. Thus, not only is all of the X-Fi related processing performed in software, but it also lacks basic hardware acceleration just the like SB Li've! 24 bit, the Audigy SE and other budget Soundblaster models. The X-Fi Xtreme Audio does not use the same drivers as the rest of the X-Fi family, some games do not recognize it as being "X-Fi capable hardware", and the device's hardware profile resembles that of older Li've! and Audigy cards. Furthermore, users have reported that it slows down some applications and games [7] [8] [9]. Thus, even if the card is marketed as part of the X-Fi line, it does not belong to it technically, just like the Audigy SE doesn't technically belong to the Sound Blaster Audigy series. The card is not marketed as supporting the "X-Fi Gaming Mode" (but is still marketed as X-Fi ), and there are no official implicit or explicit statements regarding its having hardware acceleration or not.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi
You want any of those features then you're going to get a real card, not a renamed/rebadged POS.
