Logic can't find DAE folder

Hi, I was having trouble using Digidesign MBox on
my Mac G5 runnning Tiger and Logic Pro 7
It wasn't finding it in Setup Assistant
So I trashed all my Digidesign files (I used to but won't use
Pro Tools anymore on this Mac)
When I start Logic now, it says
"Error: can't find DAE Folder in Sys Folder"
please help

open up "Audio MIDI Setup" (Applications/Utilities) and select this driver
for CoreAudio output.
Actually, don't do that.
For now, leave the output assignments in AudioMIDISetup to 'built-in' and just assign the MBox as the I/O in Logic. (Audio Hardware prefs)
Even though CoreAudio drivers are multi-client, using the same I/O for multiple apps can be problematic, especilly with DigiCoreAudio.
You will want to make sure it is working OK with Logic first.
When you assign Logic to DigiCoreAudio, the DigiCoreAudio manager app will start. Check that DigiCoreAudio Manager and Logic's CoreAudio driver settings are set to the same buffer size. (you'll have problems if they are not)

Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link
http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/fcpx-bug-best-practices-for-using-external-hard- drives-and-final-cut-pro-x/
You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.
booya!

I did a update in Itunes and now I can no longer use my cd player to record, it says it can't find my cd drive

I can no longer make a cd from music since I did a update to my Itunes music, it is saying it can't find the player to make a cd, I had my computer person here and the cd player works great, I can play on it, just can no longer make cd from my music. It says no cd player or product. Can you please help me get this fixed. Did something happen when I updated a kink or something in it.
Thank you,
Billie

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

ITunes is saying it can't find my music when I know it's there...

So... since I have a computer with only and 80GB hard drive, I bought a 160GB external hard drive to keep all of my iTunes stuff on it and that's even where my iTunes music folder is located.
I have about 5500 songs and 700 videos.
But for some reason it started saying it can't find a lot of my music.
Everything is on my external hard drive and I already checked if I accidentally deleted them. I didn't.
Some of my items it still has playable.
I can only listen/watch about 30% of my stuff.
The first time this happened I was about to call Apple and complain but it started working all the sudden.
This is the second time and has been a few days.
Nothing has changed.
I even reset my iTunes folder to the default location.
Then I put it back to normal: computer/WD Sync (F:)/iPod music and video.
The WD Sync is my external hard drive.
That didn't help.
I think it might have been because my computer used to call my external hard drive disk (E:), now it's calling it disk (F:).
And this started happening after updating to iTunes 7.6.2.
ANY HELP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days?

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?

I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get new computer. My library is still there and the playlists show and I can even add to my playlists. But as soon as it goes to sync it says it can't find all the songs that used to be there.

I can't get my itunes playlists to sync now that I had to get a new computer. They all appear in my library and show in my playlists. I can even download new songs from the itunes store to those playlists but when it syncs only the new songs go on the ipod. It says it can't find any of my "old" songs and puts an exclamation mark beside them. I am clueless when it comes to these things. Advice please! We have three ipods on this account trying to figure it out.

You can only sync to one computer.
You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Skype wont open, saying its "not supported on this Aschitecture". How can I get it to work??
I have downloaded Skype from its main website for MAC, but still it says " can't open Skype. not supported on this Architecture" when i click on it. I don't know why it wont. This isn't an old Desktop Mac computer, and Skype downloaded with no problems on my Mac Lap top. So what's wrong this time?
Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.
