Logic nodes over switched ether-network?

Hi,
I'm planning to setup a 3-mac network as well as takng the leap from to Logic from Cubase.
Can anyone tell me if the Logic-node system will work over an ether-network (via a switch) or does it have to be a direct Mac-Mac connection?
Also, over what length cable run might latency be introduced?
I may also want to use FX-Teleport over the network when it becomes available for the Mac. The same questions apply...will it work via a switch?
And at what point might Midi/Audio latency be an issue?
Thanks in advance.
Colin

Colin, just to reassure you, I just bought a cheap D-Link 10/100/1000 8 port switch and replaced by old 10/100 one. I replaced the two cables (Powerbook and G5) with proper Cat5e ones and my node works just fine at opposite ends of the house. Luckily the house wiring I installed was Cat5e already. For some reason Logic has trouble compensating for latency on the EXS24 sampler, but all the other processes seem to have no latency at all. I tested the two machines in the same room with 1 metre CAT5e cables, and the latency is exactly the same. One thing to watch is that even when Logic tells you that it is processing particular tracks on the node, it actually doesn't seem to lessen the CPU load on the host until it absolutely has to. One particular song of mine has about 80% CPU on my Powerbook, and at one point in the song would very often stop with an overload message. Now with the node engaged it STILL shows 80% host CPU, but the difference is that when I reach the dangerous part, Node activity shows up on the meter, and I don't get the error. Cool!

Logic node 9.0 update

Is there a update for Logic 9.0 node? This is used when you have multiple computers on the same network. I am currently running Logic pro 9.1.5 and the node does not work. I went back and open logic 9.0 and the node worked. Need update for Logic Node 9
Mac OX
Thanks

I just checked and my node version is 9.1.5 matching the Logic app. If you update with the Software Update app, it should probably update automatically so maybe your node app was in the wrong folder or renamed? Make sure it's in the right spot, I doubt SU will show the Logic update again but you can try downloading and running the updater again to see if it updates your node app.

Sending Files over a Windows Network

I am trying to send files from one computer to the other over a windows network. I have absolute path names of the two locations.
Can you just use "File.renameTo(File);" to pull this off?
Is there a fast way to move files over a windows network?
Thanks so much for your help

With File.renameTo()? Yes.
between directories on different local drives? Yes.
or different nodes in a network?I'm not sure what you mean by that, which is most probably my lack of knowledge about computer networking.
Here's the test I performed:
File a = new File("C:/Temp/test.txt");
// 'E:' is (physicaly) a different hard drive than 'C:'
File b = new File("E:/Temp/test.txt");
System.out.println(a.renameTo(b));
// 'Athene' is a home-SAN-drive/server connected to my router
File c = new File("//Athene/SHARE/Temp/test.txt");
System.out.println(b.renameTo(c));Both print true and in both cases I have checked to see if the files really were moved, which was the case.

We have a 5s active on our account. After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number) The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up. Texting over the cell networks works fine.

hens0861,
Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.

HT3819 Hi there. If I use "home sharing" on the same wifi network, does it use internet data, or only sharing over a home network?

Hi there. If I use itunes over home sharing in my house on 2 pc's, does it use data from my internet, or does it work over local home network?

You'd need both computers to be connecting to the same wifi network in order to Home Share.

Can no longer print over my wireless network

We haven't changed our drivers for a month or so, but suddenly we can't print over our home network any more.
We have a Canon MP500 connected by USB to an Intel iMac, which acts as a print server (as long as it's awake). Usually it's quite happy to print over our network from either our MacBook or MacBook Pro.
What's happening now is that it says it's printing but then doesn't. There is no explicit error message. It says 'print job accepted - printing'.

Thanks. It turns out the problem is indeed some kind of conflict between the driver of the MP500 and CD-LabelPrint, a Canon program which it uses to print discs.
What was happening was that when I tried to print over the network onto a DVD the blockage occurred, with everything just hanging. Connecting directly by USB did the job, but the queue on the iMac (to which the printer is connected by USB) remained blocked. I had previously tried deleting and re-adding the printer on the MBP which had sent the job, but now I've done the same on the iMac and that's worked.
What a hassle - so much for Canon's driver update :roll:

Having trouble printing over a home network to a Canon S9000 from iMac

Hello there,
I recently bought a iMac and am having trouble printing to my Canon S9000 over my home network. If I hook up the printer to the iMac I can print to it, but the PC that is also hooked up to the network can't. If the printer is hooked up to the PC, the PC can print to it, but the iMac can not.
I downloaded the S9000 driver from Canon and installed it on the iMac. Then brought up the printer in system preferences. I found my printer OK, but I can't seem to find the S9000 driver in the list.
When the printer is hooked up to the PC and I try to print to it from the iMac this is the error I get: "Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, eliminate the cause of the error."
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Your problem is due to the way that Canon wrote the drivers for that printer. It can be shared to Windows machines if it is on a Windows machine, or to Macs if it is on a Mac. It can't be shared cross-platform. It is not supported by GutenPrint, so there is no CUPS system driver available; if there was, you could put it on the Windows machine and share it, and use the CUPS driver to print on your Mac.
I'm sorry, but that printer will not ever be able to be shared cross-platform unless and until Canon rewrites the drivers. I'd not recommend holding your breath while waiting.
The best solution to cross-platform printing is to get a network printer. Many vendors, including Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP, make them, some of them at fairly low (under $100) prices.

How to work on iMac files from a new Macbook over home wireless network

Hi,
A quick question for anyone who can help. Most of the time I work on my iMac G5. But I've now also got a MacBook, and I want to be able to use that as much as possible (ie not having to be at my desk upstairs at all times).
What I need help with is file sharing. I know that I need to put files into the iMac's public folder for them to be accessible on the MacBook over my wireless network. What I'm not sure, and want to check before doing anything drastic in case I cause unintended problems, is whether there are limits of any sort on what can/should be put in the public folder.
For example, can I just drag my whole Documents folder (or my Work folder within it, about 0.5GB worth) into the Public folder? Would that then mean that I can access all my Work files from either machine?
Apologies if this is a non-query - if it is as simple as just dragging as much or as little as I want into the Public folder. I had just assumed that I'd be able to mark files/folders that I wanted to be visible/sharable over the network - and am a bit wary about shifting the locations on my iMac of huge numbers of my files.
A final follow-on query. I'd ilke to use the DVD burner on the MacBook to back-up my iTunes library (which, again, is on my iMac). Would this again be a matter of relocating the library (even temporarily) in the Public Folder so that the MacBook can see it and back it up?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance....

On the iMac - Turn on Personal File Sharing
On the MacBook - In the Finder, click on "Go", then "Connect to Server...", then type in the address of the iMac (you can find this at the bottom of the "Personal File Sharing" window on the iMac).
Click on "Connect" and enter your account name and password for the iMac.
You should get a list of available items to access, at a minimum your home directory (you don't have to use the Public shared folder). If you use Admin credentials, you can mount the hard drive and access the programs you have on the iMac and run them from the MacBook - not all programs will work this way but most of the ones I use work.

I am having trouble transferring files from an old MacBook (2007) to a MacBook Air over a wireless network. The connection was interrupted and the time was over 24 hours. Is there a better way to do this? I'm using Migration assistant.

Windows 7 hangs and switches off network access

We are running a Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit operating system as our server.
About on 30 minute intervals the computer hangs and switches off network access.
If the computer is in this state and you try and access it from another computer nothing happens.
While in this state you can see the desktop indicating that it's not in sleep mode.
The problem is rectified by click the mouse on the computer.
It has not gone into a sleep mode as everything on the power options is set to never.
Please help?

Unable to share files over the local network, OS X Lion

About two weeks ago, my coworker and I realized that we were no longer able to share files over the local network. We have not made any changes to our preference settings. We are able to access FileMaker Pro databases files located on another computer in our office via the network, but we are unable to access any other files by trying to login to the computer remotely. We also have internet access. I am able to login to each of our work computers form home, but not from the office. I'm am not sure what has changed, but it is important that we have the ability to share files at work. Can you give me directions on how to fix our problem. Thanks!

I had this problem when I first setup my Mac. One thing I know is that File Sharing in System Preferences doesn't necessarily need to be on, because iTunes does all of the networking itself.
I know that you've checked and checked again on the firewall, but what I did was turn the firewall on. In the list of ALLOW, there should be a line that is labeled iTunes Music Sharing. Check it. It was the magic link, and all of my iTunes libraries on the three computers in the house (two Windows, one my Mac) could "see" each other.
Turning on the firewall might seem strange, but it worked for me.
I hope this helps.

I am considering the purchase of an iMac or Macbook and want to know whether I can import my iTunes library of +400 albums from my Windows PC over my Home Network? 300 of these albums have been imported from CD's, so would not want to have to do that again.

Just copy the entire /Musci/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
The libraries will be identical (date added, ratings, artwork, etc.).
You can do this easily over the network.

Logic node keeps quitting

Im running LP7 on a dual g5 2.7 and a Logic node on a MDD DP 1.25 G4 with 2 gigs of Ram but the node app keeps quitting.Im only using the node on tracks which have only logic au's and fx etc(not a mixture of 3rd party and logic plugs) but logic node quits halfway through playing an 16 bar loop.The node cpu meter is barely touching a quater of the way up so I dont understand this.Anyone??BTW Im runnig 10.4.2 on both machines and all the latest updates etc

While the problem does appear to be Kontakt 5 related... the actual problems seems to be to do with disk access and steaming/buffering data from the disk rather than Kontakt 5 itself...
This can be caused by a lack of RAM... (You have a large number of K5 instances all trying to run in just 6GB of RAM)
or...
A problem with the Hard Drive-SSD you are using thats unable to properly keep up with the demands being made on it or the CPU/Memory......
In other words you might just be pushing your system too far given the small amount of memory you have on board...
I see you spent good money on an SSD but frankly your Mac would benefit much more from extra RAM (at least 16GB... and 24/32GB would be even better) than any boost in performance a small 128GB SSD would provide...
Also.....
Your Waves plugins are several updates behind the times... Get them updated to the recent Waves 9 r19 release as they too, can cause issues that can cause K5 to crash under certain circumstances...
