Logic receives MIDI but Mainstage WON'T!

Sorry this is sort of a repost but not quite...
*(Midi port working in garageband but not in mainstage)*
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11179374&#11179374
Mainstage 2.1.1 doesn't receive any MIDI from my controller. Audio-MIDI setup shows everything is fine ("test MIDI setup" plays the little "****" sound).
I read some of the posts and tried it in 64-bit (No luck).Mainstage 2.1.1 and 2.0 just don't see ANY data! Then I tried Mainstage 1 it finally recognized MIDI!
So... Logic 9.1.1 and Mainstage 1 receive MIDI, but Mainstage 2 doesn't!
Really Wierd!

I've had similar problems when trying to run Logic and MainStage simultaneously. If you don't start MainStage FIRST, then Logic somehow "grabs" the midi feed and won't let MainStage receive midi (though other non-logic-based things seem to still see the midi data (such as the afore-mentioned midi-monitor).
A couple things to check:
Audio Midi Setup: make sure there's no goofy routings defined there. Make sure your midi device shows up there, test it, etc.
Try Making an entirely new account: based on the idea that *something user configurable* is horked up, try this. Go into the control panel and set up another account on the mac ... log into it, try to launch the updated MainStage ... if it works, then you definitely know it's something user-based and not system-based.

  • I just upgraded to lion but mainstage won't open

    just upgraded from snow leopard 10.6.8 to lion 10.7.3 yesterday.  logic 9.1.6 works fine but mainstage won't open.  it stops at the "initializing graphics" stage and goes no further.  i also note that the icon idicates it is version 2.0.0 which i thought was an earlier version but i'm not sure.  could lion have transformed mainstage back to an earlier version and not done the same to logic?  how weird!!
    any recommendations?

    Contact this address below and request a new download, and that the one you have does not open or it crash whe doing so.
    They open up my account and allowed me to reinstall.

  • Receive Gmail but it won't send

    I have a new macbook air. I set up the mail to work with my gmail account. I can receive mail but it will not send. The outgoing stmp server is listed as Gmail (offline) and the Connection Dr. can not connect.

    It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website.  In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment.  I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address.  Check this article out from Gigaom.

  • I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • Logic Pro X doesn't receive midi signals (Logic 9 does)

    Hi,
    When I updated to OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 Logic X stopped receiving midi signals from my keyboards and otther midi devices.
    My system is:
    Mac Pro (2010)
    3,2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    The funny thing is that it worked great before the update to Yosemite, and when I run Logic 9 evreything works as norwal in Yosemite. No problem with the MIDI-signals then.
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this.
    I am using an Oxygen USB keyboard and a Alesis Control Pad, but there is no signal in Logic X. 
    Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

    I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

    Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)?  That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both?  Or more?
    I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
    Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details.  The BT email client set-up starts here.

  • I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
    I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?

  • Logic Pro x - additional content downloads and installs but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. Where is the add'l content downloaded and how do I activate on Logic Pro X?

    The additional content downloads and installs, but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. I cannot find the "Library" folder where this additional content is  downloaded to and can't seem to activate the new loops and instruments in my Logic Pro X (i.e. loops are still greyed out). Any solutions?

    similar problem that I'm hoping revives this thread. Took over 24hrs to dload additional content (after another full day for the actual problem) due to a bad dload rate. so quitted, and relocated closer to my wifi router. Restart, open logic x, Menu bar:  Logic Pro/ Download Additional content ...Tells me i have no internet connection.... Ahh... I do, I'm using it right now! Tried restarting and relaunching. same thing every time.
    Any clues?
    This whole apple upgrade has been so disappointing! All i wanted to do was reinstall logic 9! $2500 later and I'm still struggling. ***!

  • When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

    I think you have to turn off Private Browsing.
    Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

    my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again.  I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?
