Line 6 KB37 Midi Nightmare in Snow Leopard

Question

Hi
I bought myself a new imac i3 yesterday for music production. I have been using a G5 with Leopard for years using Logic 8/Reason with my Line 6 KB37. I have installed on the new mac all the line 6 drivers and audio plays from the Line 6 fine when I load a track and hit the space bar, but the Line 6 will not transmit midi notes to logic or Reason when I press the keyboard or contral buttons. On the transport bar in Logic where you would normaly see the numbers change with each press of the keys or transport bar I get nothing. Any suggestions.

When I press Test nothing happens except the test icon going blue. There is no arrow on the bottom of the KB37 icon.
No arrow at all? Try creating a new MIDI config, see if the KB37 shows arrows there. What happens when you doubleclick the KB37 icon?
Line 6 say the latest drive is SL compatible (4.7.1) and it is installed.
That should be OK then.
Have deleted and reinstalled twice. How can I turn midi off/on?
I don't know - what does the KB37 manual(s) say?
I am fairly sure this is an OS issue because I simply took off my desk the old G5 and put in its place the new i3 and loaded the KB37 drivers in after a OS update and plugged in the KB37.
Hmm... the G5 is a PPC machine, the i3 is an Intel machine, if you just copied over all your software there is bound to be trouble... or did you freshly install everything on the i3?
I did get it working for about 5 mins in Logic immediatley after the driver installation but once I closed down Logic and reopened it all midi send transmissions were gone and have not returned since either in Logic or Reason.
Looks like a driver issue.
Have you tried repairing permissions/disks in *Disk Utility?*
