Initial sync issues on multiple devices (sloppy timing)

I'm running logic 9 64bit in snow leopard on a mac pro 2.3 nehalem dual quad w 14 gigs ram. (which I'm still paying off) I have a MOTU express 128, a pile of dusty analog things and NI's Maschine running as per NI's support team's advice, in stand alone slaved to logic via midi clock through IAC 1. The problem is that I cant seem to get everything synched up quite right. I tried listening to the click outs from logic and maschine and beatmatching w the midi out offset in logic's preferences. That works for the instant I get it 'on' but then when I press stop and play again, it has to be readjusted. Seems to want to be anywhere between -30 to -20ms but if its even a little off, the whole thing sounds like trash. Feels a clock signal inconsistency or something. (?) Secondly, when the Maschine is synched for the minute, the outboard synths are a lil off. Further complicating, my two Midi/CV converter systems have a slightly different latency, AND one synth (a retrofit) accepts midi note, pitch-bend and mod-wheel data but goes fruggun haywire when it hears clock or timecode.
Anyone have a systematic process for getting the audio and multiple midi devices all synched up? I come from MPC land so you'll have to speak slowly and use small words.
thanks!

Yup, apparently NI isn't real good w AU programming. Lots of hiccups when running in Logic. Timing goes BONKERS, and sample rate falls off the wagon. The 'within logic work around' is to reset the audio buffer and device settings every five minutes after it fails. (barf) Are you saying there's an inheriant issue w synch via IAC? I'd really like to start w audio I/O/I/O lag offset, which I'm pretty sure is the first step. It's gotta be around here somewhere...

  • Sync issues with multiple devices

    I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad mini associated with a single account. I just want to sync both the devices in such a way that a few utitlity apps need to be on the phone while the games need to be installed on iPad. However each time i sync the iPad i get list of apps pre checked with the phones settings so this will make the iTunes to copy all phone apps to iPad. I dont want this to happen.
    I tried creating a seperate library but now im not able to see list of apps i downloaded previously. My question - is it possible to have a single library(to probably save some disk space)  for two devices running under same account but only difference in sync settings. So that i time i connect a device it should know what to sync and what not to.

    I have the Express units that look like a white AppleTV. Not the ones that plug directly into the wall, they have a power cable. I believe they are 2nd Generation.
    Yes, those would be 2nd generation Express base stations and they should be able to support up to fifty wireless connections.
    Are both of these connected back to the Extreme with a wireless or wired connection? Regardless of which are they both configured to extend the Extreme's Wi-Fi range?
    I am assuming that you have this network configured to also support a guest network ... correct?
    The Extreme is not the latest tall one, it's the one just before they released the new one.
    That should make your Extreme a 5th generation model, which is just fine.
    Do the Express devices count as wireless connections?
    Yes.
    Even if I include the Express devices, I have 14 connections. If two people come to my home with two devices each, I am still under 20 connections. All Airports and devices are on the same level of the house, approximately 1000 square foot area, with open doors into every room.
    Yes, according to the number of devices you stated, this should work.
    The only idea I have at this time is to temporarily disable the guest networking feature. Once done, see if you still have the issue. Do you?

  • HT1495 how can i sync aps on multiple devices on one computer

    Trying to use multiple devices on same computer but don't want the devices to have all the same aps.  how can i seperate that without having to check the aps i want each time a sync?

    Assuming the photos are in an iPhoto Library on the Air and you want to import them into your iPhoto Library on your Powermac there is an application that can copy all photos in the Air library that are not in your Powermac library into your Powermac library.  However, no keywords or other metadeata willl be brought over with them and they will come over in a new event each time you run it. Take a look at: Sync iPhoto libraries | SyncPhotos (formerly iPhotoSync) | Haystack Software.
    There's another application,  iPhoto Library Manager, that will let you copy events or albums from the Air library to the Powermac library. However, you will have to select the events/albums you want to copy. It's not automatic.  This method will copy keywords and other metadata along with the photos.

  • Sync Thunderbird across multiple devices

    Can anyone tell me how to sync my Thunderbird email accounts across multiple devices?  I've got this weird situation where incoming emails are showing up on one device but not another, and the contents of the inboxes are different across iMac; Macbook; iPad and iPhone.  I'm using IMAP  but just can't get the inboxes to look the same across each device.  I use this account for work so it's very frustrating.

    I have the same setup here for me any my wife. We each have a separate apple ID used for iCloud (but share one ID for iTunes).
    We each have personal calendars but we also have a shared one (named shared). On icloud.com we have that calendar shared where we can each add/edit the events. And it is shared accross our iPad and iPhones.

  • ICloud is not syncing information on multiple devices??

    I have a Mac laptop, iPad2, and iPhone 4. I purchased iCloud to allow all the changes to my notes, calendars, etc to be synced whenever I make changes.  However, this is not happening.  I've added multiple events on my calendars and made changes to several notes, but none of the devices are syncing via iCloud.  What am I doing wrong?  I've turned on everything in the SETTINGS menu.  The only way they sync is if I sync to my computer first and then sync again with the other device.

    I haven't found anyway to re-assign notes to another account other than to email them to myself and copy and paste them into new notes on my mac. To avoid creating notes in other accounts going forward, always ensure that you are in your iCloud account before creating a new note (ie by tapping iCloud from the screenshot above.
    On the issue of calendars, what account are the stray calendars in, is there a way to get them into calendars on your mac, you can move a whole calendar to a different account on the mac. I can show you how if you are able to get it to the mac. What I'm looking for is whether whichever account the calendars are on on your phone can be added to your mac even temporarily.

  • Exchange calendar sync issues among iOS devices and Mavericks

    When I add an event to a shared Exchange calendar on my Mac in iCal, and mark it as All-Day, that designation does not appear with the event on my iOS devices. Instead, it's given a 24-hour duration from 12 to 12, so to speak. Here's the confusing part: If I edit the event on my iPhone to correct it as All-Day, it does not sync that All-Day designation to my iPad. Additionally, if I then make the same correction on the iPad, toggles it on the phone and removes All-Day. Removal of All-Day designation on a device does remove it on the Mac calendar, which I then have to change back. So I chase it around in a circle and end up with the correct duration on only one iOS device. The difference in All-Day and 24 hours duration does matter graphically as many of these events run for several weeks or months. All-Day keeps them confined to the upper section of the calendar graph rather than muddying up the lowerm hourly appointments.
    Any ideas on how to rectify the problem?
    I'm running Mavericks, iOS 7.0.3 and using MS Exchange 2010.

    There are several other posters on the Forums that are having issues with Exchange sync'ing with Mavericks. It could be that your all-day verses mutli-hour issue may be among them.
    Most of the problems that people are seeing, including myself, are more to do with Mail and Calendar simply not synchronizing.
    My Mail.app INBOX for my Exchange server is now several hours behind my iOS and Windows Outlook instances. Calendar appointments are simply not being pushed to the server (though they seem to be retrieved OK).
    So, sorry for now help on this one directly, but you are not alone.

  • Music & Video Sync issue with multiple computers

    I sync my phone to multiple computers, one primarily for the ical and the other primarily for the music/video. Problem is, when I sync to my macbook pro (the ical & address book) I have the music sync turned off but it still wipes out ALL my music and videos! When I resync to my imac (the music & video) it puts the media right back on the phone of course.
    Why does it wipe away my data? I tell it not to sync and it still wipes out my phone. It's quite annoying since it takes a while for the phone to re-sync 6-7 gigs of audio and video, not to mention if I'm not by my imac I have no A/V on my phone till I resync. The A/V functions are the reason most people buy the thing in the first place, I'm surprised its so un-userfriendly in this case.
    any suggestions?
    thanks,

    I managed to get this done tonight.  Unfortunately, I didn't see a solution posted anywhere, so maybe I'm the first.  I did this with an iPhone, not an iPad, but I imagine the process is the same.
    Step 1) Copy the contacts to the right profile.  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286044
    Step 2) Back up your device.
    Step 3) Start outlook and change the default profile to the one you want to use.
    Step 4) Restore the device to it's original settings using the Restore button on the summary page.
    Step 4) After the restore, it asks which backup you want to recover, pick the one you just did.
    Now, if for some reason, it asks for an outlook profile during the restore, pick the right one.  I was asked this go-round, but not when I originally started syncing the phone.  Go figure.
    Restoring to it's original settings could cause some sort of data loss.  I don't care about any game saves, and I just sync with my gmail, so my contacts were really all I was concerned about.  This process did recover 5 gigs of space eaten up by unexplained "other" data in my phone.  Maybe it was cached e-mails, maybe it was old apps that didn't uninstall properly, who knows.  But my apps, my e-mail, my contacts, my notes, my text messages and my calendar are all in place.
    I have read that the default profile can be changed after the first sync, but in my situation, I wanted my outlook to default to this profile anyways.
    Hopefully this will pop up in a google search for the next person who runs into this problem.  It sure was a headache for me.

  • How to sync contacts across multiple devices

    I have a iPhone, iMac and iPad that I am having trouble keeping my contacts in sync!
    Some contacts do not appear across all devices and others appear duplicated on one or more device.
    After much checking of the settings and trying to merge contacts, I have still not managed to sort the problem.
    David

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Having issues with multiple devices connecting to AirPort

    Hello All
    I'm having an issue when people come to visit. It seems my network goes haywire once they get here with their devices.
    My network consits of an Airport Extreme and two Airport Expresses connected to a cable modem. On the network I have two iMacs, Mac Pro, two TiVos, Xbox 360, Foscam Secutity camera, two iPad minis, iPod, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS. They are all connected to the main network login.
    When guests come over, most weekends my girl and her daughter, they have two iPhones, and iPad 2 and an iPad mini. Once they get here, we all seem to get knocked offline. Some devices stay connected at times, but most, if not all, get knocked offline. I assumed it was something wrong with one of their devices. They connect with the Guest login.
    This weekdend we had some friends visiting and my girl and her daughter were not here. These friends showed up with two iPhones, a MacBook Pro, an iPad mini, iPod and a kindle. Same thing happended...all knocked off line. They also connected with the Guest login.
    Are there limits to the number of devices? If so, I wouldn't think I am hitting that limit, could it be that low?
    Thank you in avance for any input or assistance.

  • Sync Calendar across multiple devices

    My wife and I each have an iMac and iPhones. We would like to be able to have a common calendar across all of our devices. I suspect this can be done with iCloud. I think this can be done by both of us using the same iCloud account but then we would have to have common everything. We each have separate Contacts lists and really don't want to co-mingle them.
    Is it possible to have multiple iCloud accounts on the same device?
    Can someone point me to a place where I can read about how to set this up?
    Thanks a lot for the help.

  • Syncing ITunes Across Multiple Devices...

    Hi everyone,
    I have had a MacBook for about four years now, and have always enjoyed having my entire music library in iTunes and on an iPod.  Recently, my iPod broke -- and around the same time, I got an iPad and iPhone5 (both 16GB).  So here's my question: It's not feasible to put my entire music library on the iPad and iPhone because of space considerations.  So I'm wondering what you guys think is the best way to ensure that I have the same sampling of songs from my library on the iPad and iPhone (aside from just manually uploading the same songs to each device).  I'm sure there are simple answers to this question, but I'm new to the iPad and iPhone, so keeping the two devices synced is all new to me.  Any suggestions people have would be great.  Thanks.

    Create a playlist with the songs you want to listen to.  When you connect each device, select the "music" tab and specify that  you want it to sync to just the songs in that playlist.
    If you let iTunes decide what songs to download, (I think) it will have created a playlist and already done this. You can choose to either start with this, or make a new playlist.  You can sync the same playlist to all your devices.
    Another option is Music Match.  For $25/year, you can have access to your entire library over the network from all your devices and other computers. That was how I solved the same problem you have.

  • Status issues across multiple devices

    Hi. I seem to be having the opposite problem to most people reporting status issues. I have friends telling me I'm always away or offline in the evenings, even tho I have 5 devices I can use Skype on. My main 3 clients are my win7 work PC (which I quiet often leave on over night), my xbox one which is on most evenings, and my iPhone. I also have an iPad and win8 laptop But I only occasionally use these for Skype.
    Do I have to sign in to the Skype app every time I switch on my xbox one to get it to show me as online? Is there something else I need to do? Do you think it's because I have too many clients?

    When I try to go to iTunes music match on her phone it asks me to sign into match, which I am assuming is the same as her Apple ID name and password.  This is a different name and password than my account.  So, it seems that she cannot access my "cloud" from her phone in order to download music that I have purchased.  I guess since she has her own iClud account, she needs to sign up for iTunes match through that account and pay the fee.  I was hoping we could access the same 'Cloud" to have the same library of music? Hope that made sense.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Purchased songs issue on multiple devices

    I purchased some songs on Macbook Pro and songs download fine and I can play them without issues. My issues is the songs appear on my Imac (which my main itunes library resides) but are shaded so I cannot play or download them. I am runing Itunes Match and was under the understanding the songs purchased can be downloaded on any of devices I own. I have contacted itunes support but they could not resolved it.
    I have had no issues with previously purchased songs and this just started recently.

    Hello jazzyaw
    As long as you are running iTunes Match, you can delete the tracks and make sure to keep them on iTunes Match. After it is gone you can download them again to get them to play again.

  • Sync books to multiple devices

    I believe there's a bug in iTunes, but perhaps I'm just missing something.
    I'm syning two devices, an iPhone and an iPad. I've turned OFF "Automatically sync new apps" so that I can select the apps to be installed/synced with each device. However, the same logic does NOT hold for Books. Every time I add a new Book to iTunes, it is automatically installed/synced with BOTH devices. I don't want to do this so for each book I want on my iPad I have to make sure to uncheck it the next time I sync my iPhone to make sure it is not installed there.
    Every other tab is unique for each device so that for example when I add a movie it is NOT downloaded automatically to both devices but needs to be checked when each device is connected. Why doesn't this behavior exist for books?

    I've noticed this aggravating behavior when I do not want to sync music, but I want to sync my books.  iTunes always begins with Books disabled, as is Music, ... It when I. Enable Books all my music is removed.
    3 or 4 versions later, and we are still putting up with tis strange behaviour(?). :(
