Is is possible to truly disable a midi input device in Logic 9?

If I remove all midi input devices from the Environment Window including the Physical Input object, midi tracks will no longer respond to external midi controller information (as it should be). However, if I open the Controller Assignment window and click the Learn button, Logic still reads data from all midi devices currently recognized by OSX. Aside from completely removing midi devices at the operating system level, is there a way to configure Logic to completely disregard midi information from a specific midi device as you can do in other DAWs such as Ableton Live...or is this simply a bug?
I am using the latest cut of Logic 9 with OSX Lion.

there is no such option- unfortunately. but you can trick logic by plugging a cable from the correlating port of the input object to eg a monitor object and just leave it there.
this way all midi arriving from that particular port will be sent into nirvana (midi to nirvana interface )

How do I set up multiple midi-input devices:WX5 wind & keyboard controllers

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my system to utilize two midi input devices.
1. Novation Controller Keyboard connected through USB
2. WX5 wind controller connected via VL-70 tone module with midi out cable to channel 1 of my Motu midi interface.
As it is currently setup I am able to play both my Wind Controller and MIDI Keyboards fine, but for some reason whenever I finish playing the Wind Controller, the MIDI Keyboard no longer plays sound (it plays midi fine according to the transport, but no sound is created until I load another patch of the EXS).
What am I doing wrong? Should I be switching between inputs in Logic somehow? How can I setup my system to be able to jump back and forth between my midi keyboard and wind controllers? I have done no setup besides cabling the devices in the AudioMidi setup (outside of Logic).
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

This is just a guess, but if the last thing your wind controller puts out is a volume message of zero (as I think it would do as you stop playing the last note) then you would need to send a volume message to the sound module to reset it to the desired volume.

How do I select a midi input device and record midi?

I have several midi input devices connected to my computer. I use them regularly with Digital Performer. I am trying to record a single midi track in Garage Band using an Oxygen 8 keyboard. In the preferences GB says that it sees 7 midi devices. How do I route midi with Garage Band and how do I tell Garage band which midi device to record from? When I create a midi track (well...I think that it is a midi track) and I try to record I do not see any midi notes being recorded.
Searching the help file for midi provided surprisingly little information. I am sure that this is simple stuff...perhaps so simple that I am missing something obvious.

Yes, if the controller sends the right MIDI messages
What do you mean by "the right midi messages"?
I have a virtual instrument (with for example) a delay effect knob. I would like to turn a knob on my midi controller and adjust the delay in the virtual instrument (as I can in just about any other sequencer). Can GarageBand do this, if so, how?

Mac GarageBand with iOS MIDI Input Device???

I was walking by a One-on-One at an Apple Store today, and the Apple guy had GB on an iMac but had an iPhone with a keyboard display adding notes to the GB song on the Mac. I thought, "Whoa, I didn't know you could do that with a Mac and iOS device." (both with GB installed).
Well, I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I'm thinking it wasn't GB on the iPhone at all, and I can't remember if the iPhone had any wire connections or not.
What I want to do is to use the iPad as an input device for a song on the Mac, especially for drums. The drum input on the Mac is ridiculous in that it only shows a keyboard and you have to randomly guess on what key makes what drum sound. Right now, I use the iPad that at least shows the parts of a drum kit next to a piano key, and then I use this to input drum tablature into a song. Then I upload the song to iCloud, and then open that on the Mac side, and my drums are there.
So, *is* there a way to use an iPhone or iPad as a MIDI device (or whatever) to input music from a keyboard or drums into GB on a Mac, wired or wireless?

Yes. I mean that it goes into the lock screen and I didn't notice if it happens after a minute or more.
When you unlock the device (after the standby) if the phones-output is connected to an audio-system like as an hi-fi or a mixer the mobile makes a spike that makes the garage band useless for live playing. The spike is not a bug of garageband, the bug is that there should be the possibility to setup garageband to not go into standby.
On the other side, garage band has an amazing hammond organ which is named "Soul organ" and it's not good when using its default settings but if you set the distortion to 0 (minimum level) it's just amazing! After this, try to set the rotation to fast and just enjoy! It's the leslie. Nothing less compared to a PC sound module.
I don't like the piano of Garageband because it's too bright. I prefer the ones of iRig SampleTank.
Furthermore, iRig SampleTank support also different tones for different tracks and you can load/save preset of sound. I have still to find a way to play piano + slow strings together because I have the sample tank basic version + piano suite but I want to buy all the tones suite. It costs about €30 which is more expensive that GarageBand but it works!
Hope this can help you.

MainStage message: possible conflict with third party midi or audio drivers

Just when I thought everything was going to be ok...
MainStage gives me a message that it detects a possible conflict with third party audio or midi drivers. The only midi device I'm using is class compliant (doesn't need a driver). My audio interface is an Apogee Duet and I'm using the most recent driver. Logic registers no such complaint. MainStage freezes. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello.
I am seeing this whenever MIDI events are being sent into either Logic or MainStage (primarily MainStage), while they are launching. On my setup, this will either crash the application during launch, ( sent to Apple ) or trigger this "...3rd party conflict / driver..." dialog.
In either instance, disabling incoming MIDI messages by turning them off on all connected MIDI devices, or as suggested, waiting to connect the device in question until, the application is fully launched, fixes my version of this issue.
** Please Note: In my experience, increasing the number incoming MIDI messages, exacerbates the issue and, makes a dialog or crash more likely to occur.
Hope this is helpful.

It's certainly possible that Youtube has changed something...

I am looking to upgrade to a new iPhone. Is it possible to then disable the phone capabilities of my old phone so I can give it to my teen for use as an iTouch? or does the old iPhone just become unusable which would be such a waste.

If Firefox 20 is in Private Browsing mode then a possible persona is disabled and the default theme is used - oh god, no - what can I do to keep both?

Cor-el answered on the 4.4.13: " If Firefox 20 is in Private Browsing mode then a possible persona is disabled and the default theme is used. So you will have to make a choice."
Can I go back to an older version of FF? I really do not want to choose. Will that problem be fixed in FF 21? I really love Firefox, it has always been my favorite browser - but giving up the Personas will be hard and I don't understand why I have to...
How do I reinstall an older version of FF? Is there another solution?

Remember to use the per window Private Browsing when you are doing banking or other confidential / financial work.
One option is now
* '''Firefox Button -> New Private Browsing Window'''
* (Linux / xp File -> New Private Browsing Window)

Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
The same goes for the key.

Is it possible to enable / disable personal hotspot through MDM?

Is it possible to enable / disable personal hotspot through MDM?

If you are using the Smartbar you just enable or disable the relevant Menu Item using SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY and that will automatically enable or disable the corresponding Button.
(you will need to use the Menu module menudefs.mmb which is a MMB version of the standard menu and smartbar and from that you can get the names of all the menu items.)
If it is a normal toolbar canvas with buttons on it you can use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY to enable and disable the buttons

Is it possible to completely disable Keychain Access in Tiger?

Does anyone know if it is possible to completely disable keychain access in Tiger? As part of security policies handed down from our corporate office, I need to be able to totally disable the ability to save/store any kind of passwords for servers, email software, other software, etc. Thanks!
Misc. Mac OS X (10.4.3)

This might be away around it.
Additional Notes on Protecting Keychains
For laptops it may be advisable to store all keychains on a portable drive, such as a
USB flash memory key or a portable FireWire drive, if allowed by organizational
policy. The portable USB key can then be removed from the laptop and stored
separately when the keychains are not in use. Anyone attempting to access data on
the machine will need the laptop, the USB device, and the password for the keychain
stored on the USB device, providing an extra layer of protection if the laptop is stolen
or misplaced.
To use this capability, move all keychain files to the USB storage device and
configure the Keychain Access application to use the keychains in the new
location. Remember that the default storage location for keychains is in each user’s
Library/keychains directory, but that the user may have stored keychains
elsewhere as well. To move a keychain to a portable USB drive (or to any new
location):
1. Start the Keychain Access application.
2. If the drawer showing the user’s keychains is not open, click on the Show
Keychains icon to open it.
3. Click to select the keychain that is to be moved.
4. Pull down the Edit menu and select Change password for keychain
“X”..., where X is the keychain being moved.
5. Click on the Details arrow to display more detail about the keychain.
6. Note the Keychain Location and click Cancel.
7. Pull down the File menu and select Delete keychain “X” where X is the
keychain being moved.
8. In the window that appears on the screen, select Delete References. Do not
delete the files; only the references should be deleted here.
9. Open the folder containing the keychain as noted in step 6.
10. Copy this file to the new location, such as a USB keychain drive.
11. Drag the original file to the Trash.
12. Choose Secure Empty Trash from the Finder menu to delete the file.
13. In the Keychain Access application, select Add keychain... from the File
menu and open the keychain file that was moved.The keychain will appear in
the list of keychains in the Keychain Access application.
The system will now access the keychain file in its new location.
While this is for Panther it should be the same for Tiger.
