Mac not recognizing Yamaha YPT-300

I am trying to connect my Yamaha keyboard to my iMacHD running version 10.8.5 but am having problems. I have an MIDI to USB cord (it is a Mio brand) and have already downloaded the driver needed from the Yamaha website. When I go to the MIDI Audio control panel it does not recognize it and also under system preferences and the Yamaha USB-MIDI window the drop down box is empty under Device Name. I am at a loss for how to get it to connect and any help would be greatly appreciated

The short version:
Go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and select your volume and then select Repair Permissions.
Same directions are also in the OS Mac Help Menu.
they do not offer tech support for any Mac over version 10.5
Have you considered, it's no longer compatible w/your current OS? Their user forums may offer work-a-rounds. Ya never know!

Sync new iPad with Mac bu Mac not recognizing

i plugged my new, first time used iPad into my mac and the mac is not recognizing the iPad. I then plugged the iPad into my PC and the PC did recognize and take me to the registration page in iTunes. I am wanting to sync with the Mac. Any ideas how to get the Mac to recognize?
Mac OS X
Version 10.4.11

Yes it is however, you can only use it for the following:
iPad 1st Gen
No Uses
iPad 2
No Uses
The New iPad
Use your iPad as a wireless hotspot. 3G/4G Versions only.
I hope this helped. I see you are meaning iPad 2, my iPad 1 sometimes uses my iMac as a hotspot (I think- The simbol is shown), even though my iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as my iMac.

Green/amber lights blink & Mac not recognizing unit

I used iTunes and loaded music onto my shuffle this morning with no problems. I listened to it for about an hour and a half. Later, I plugged it into my computer. The computer and iTunes no longer recognizes the unit. Our other computer does not recognize it either. When I connect it to the USB port, it:
1)blinks green once
2)pauses
3)blinks green/amber together
4)blinks amber thereafter
It still plays music... but of course I can't update the play list and do not know if it is actually charging.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated! I'm unable to do the restore since the computer doesn't know it's connected.

Cannot run the reset utility... the computer is not
recognizing that it is plugged in so I cannot select
the restore button...
What does Apple System Profiler say about the USB tree AND the "iPod"? Also, disconnect the Shuffle, reboot and try again.
BTW, the light sequence you listed is perfectly NORMAL...with the exception that something is accessing the Shuffle OR it's "enabled for data" e.g. it's being seen as a flash drive.

Mac Not Recognizing External Hard Drive, I Want to Use the HDD to boot Windows

Let's get this stuff straight first:
The Hard Drive is from a PC that I am not using
The Hard Drive already has Windows 8.1 installed as well as all my documents and data. (from the old PC, of course.)
It does work, however after connecting it to my iMac (late 2014 / 5K Retina) it isn't recognized by Finder, Disk Utility or the (Option) Boot screen.
Yes, I understand I will need to install drivers, so I'll need help doing that as soon as we get Yosemite to recognize the HDD.
What I am wanting to do is use this external drive to run Windows from the boot up screen. But I need OS X to actually recognize the drive in the first place. Then I'll need a little help installing the drivers for Windows onto the Drive, unless those are already installed, since it was originally used in my PC? (I'm not sure how drivers work.)
Nonetheless, if it's not possible to be used as an external boot for Windows, I'd still like to use it to obtain and store files/documents on.
Thanks guys!
-Austin

How do you have the drive hooked up to your computer? Did you but an adapter? If so, is it one that is supposed to work with a Mac? Did it come with a power supply?
Some of those USB adapters don't work well with Macs and that could be causing problems. Test it on a PC if possible, just to make sure the adapter itself isn't bad.

Mac not recognizing USB external hard drive

My Mac OS X 10.5.8 isn't recognizing my Samsung USB external hard drive. The hard drive has already been formatted for a Mac (rather than PC). My computer has recognized the external hard drive before with no problems. I've used it on a campus computer to copy video files from a documentary I was filming, and I've also used it on another campus computer to copy video files from a multimedia piece. I still need these files, so having to erase my hard drive would be DEVASTATING. Now, my computer won't recognize my external hard drive, even when I have it plugged in before turning on my computer.
When I go to Disk Utility, my mac recognizes it, but when I try to repair and verify it says that it failed.
It's also not a problem with the external hard drive because I've plugged it into another computer and it is recognized on the other computer.
What should I do?

When I go to Disk Utility, my mac recognizes it, but when I try to repair and verify it says that it failed.
Sounds like it's very badly damaged, and it may be too much to expect the data to still be intact. However, you can try repairing it with a more powerful utility, like [DiskWarrior|http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html] or [TechTool Pro|http://www.micromat.com>. If neither of those can fix it, then your only options will be using a data recovery tool, such as [Data Rescue|http://www.prosofteng.com> or [File Salvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1], or paying an expensive data recovery service to disassemble the drive and recover what they can.
Of course, this would all have been avoided if you had backups of your data. In the future, you must have a minimum of three copies of any data you don't want to lose.

Ipod mini formatted for mac not recognized by PC

Hi,
Thanks in advance for help.
I have an ipod mini that was formatted on an ibook at work. i no longer have access to that computer and tried to connect the ipod to my PC. my pc does not see the ipod either under my computer or in itunes. i think it's a mac formatted ipod and i would like to restore it to windows, but it appears i need to have itunes find it in order to restore it. what do i do now?
thanks.

First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now can iTunes see it?
If not, you could try a format of the iPod in Windows.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and choose "quick format".
When that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater in iTunes.
To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.

Mac not recognizing wireless router

I have a G3 imac that I am trying to connect to a wireless network connection from a G4 mac. The G4 mac is connected to a Netgear wireless router and the G3 mac has an original airport card installed. I have checked all of the installation twice of the airport card, I have the router set for 802.11b or 802.11g as suggested, and I cannot get a connection. I tried using the assist me thing and the farthest I got was to entering a password (it said all of the passwords I got were wrong) and didn't find any networks when it scanned for them. Right now all I want to do is be able to have wireless internet by using the router. I also have a PC that found it very easily and is using it just fine. Please help. I have been working through this all day and haven't come up with anything.

I am still trying to find a solution, but I did contact netgear and they gave me the following response: I appreciate the opportunity to assist you. In regards to your concern, please follow the steps bellow to find out the network key.
1. Open the browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape)
2. Access the router (usually http://192.168.1.1 or www.routerlogin.net)
3. Login to the router (User Name = admin Password = password unless you have changed it)
4. Click on Wireless Settings on the left hand side.
5. Under the security options you will see 4 key boxes and the key one has the network key, which you need.
You need to type in the 10 digits number as a password if still it is not accepting the password then try to use '$' symbol as a prefix in password.
If the issue is still persisting, please write us back in detail.
This solution did not help me, but maybe it will you.

Bonjour for Mac Not Recognizing Printers

I am using a NETGEAR router and a NETGEAR Wireless Extender. I have repeatedly tried to set up two printers wirelessly. Bonjour seems to work very sporadically. It will recognize the printers for a while, then after about an hour or so, they are not listed under Bonjour. Very frustrating, and I'd appreciate any help.

Is it just an extender, or is it a full router?
One way to tell is if it has the ability to provide DHCP services, such as assigning IP addresses. If it has a configuration option for setting up DHCP, then it is capable of being a router. If it is in Router mode it will block Bonjour traffic between devices talking to the other Router and those talking to this router.
You want just one active router in your home, and that one active router is responsible for DHCP services.
Another way, would be to make sure you are talking to the extender, and then using the Bonjour Browser. If you can see items that are connected to the other Netgear device, then the extender is not blocking Bonjour traffic, and if it is not blocking Bonjour traffic, it cannot be in Router mode.
If you Option-Click on the WiFi icon on your Mac menu bar, you will see the BSSID for the WiFi device you are talking to. Since you have 2 WiFi devices they will each have their own unique BSSID numbers. With some experimentation, you should be able to figure out which BSSID belongs to the Netgear Router and which belongs to the extender. That is one way to know which device you are currently talking to and then verify you are seeing Bonjour traffic from devices attached to the Netgear router. And traffic going the other way.

Mac not recognizing mixer/Audio interface

HELP HELP HELP
All you home recording studio enthusiast out there I really need some help, the sooner the better as I have a session tomorrow. here is my issue. I can’t record an audio (vocal) track. Here is my gear, DAW: Reason 8, Mac running Yosemite (version 10.10), mixer: Behringer 1204 USB (with built audio interface). I’ve also tried the following stand alone audio interfaces, TASCAM US 100 and M-Audio Fast track Pro. Key board Axiom 25. I gone into preferences and selected USB Audio CODEC for both output and input on the MAC, did the same under reason preference audio tab. when I create a audio track in Reason, in the audio input section I see “No audio input”. When I select the drop down menu there is a section for Mono input and Stereo for me to check this is followed by a grayed out section that states “No audio input available, please check your sound card settings.
The other funny thing is when I use Garage Band, I have no issues recording. I just recorded in garage band using the Behringer 1204. Am I missing some simple setting somewhere,missing a channel routing. I need any help anyone can give me.

Me too!
Almost the same as Rharrell - Reason 8, Mac running Yosemite (version 10.10.3), irig pro audio interface (I pick up my Apogee Duet this week but I think i'll have the same problem). No audio inputs available, please check your sound card settings.
Can anybody help please.

GB 09 not recognizing Yamaha P95B keyboard (driver installed already)

Bought my daughter this keyboard to record songs she composes...downloaded driver from Yamaha's site....bought MIDI cable at Best Buy...only recording happening is from the internal microphone...called Apple but still no luck....under system preferences the keyboard shows up, but everything is gray...any suggestions?

if you're recording from the mic, then you're using a "real" track, create a "Software" track for the MIDI instrument

ITunes 11.1.4 Mac not recognizing my iPad 1

I've seen a lot of answers to this question for iTunes 11.1.4 on Windows -- even here in the iTunes for Mac forum -- but no good suggestions for the Mac.
Since upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4 on my iMac, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPad 1. My iPad simply doesn't show up in the Device list in this new version of iTunes. I'm using the same same USB cable and port on my computer. It was working before I installed 11.1.4.
Does anyone know how to fix this on a Mac? It's really frustrating.
Thanks.

Mac not recognizing AP Express after AP Extreme password change...

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and a Airport Express as an extender. I went on Airport Utility and changed my wireless password. Since then my macbook pro is unable to recognize my Airport Express and the yellow light is flashing on the unit itself. I am still connected to the internet through the Extreme Base Station but am no longer picking up the express's signal and there is no output. Any suggestions? Very frustrating

Welcome to the discussion area.
I suggest that you temporarily, move the AirPort Express close to your computer and connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express to see if AirPort Utility can communicate to the Express that way.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
You will need to enter the same wireless network password that you gave to the AirPort Extreme so the Express will be able to join the wireless network.
Click Update to save your changes and move the Express back to the desired location.

Mac not recognizing Time Machine after Mavericks Clean Install

Hello,
I just did a clean install of OSX Mavericks and I can't access any of my Time Machine backups and am very worried about having lost all my data.
Before I did the clean install, I backed up data using my Toshiba 1TB External hard drive using Time Machine. It backed up successfully and has been doing so for about a year.
After the successful clean install of Mavericks, I plugged my external hard drive in, to which I was prompted with "would you like to use this hard drive for Time Machine Backups?" I clicked yes, and it said "Decrypting Time Machine Backups." I got worried and quickly cancelled the decryption process.
Now, whenever I plug in the external hard drive, nothing comes up. I can't access any of its files. Whenever I open the Disk Utility application, it does recognize that its plugged in, but its grayed out, and I can't do anything with the drive.
I'm very worried about losing all my data and info and would greatly appreciate any insight about this.
Thanks
MacBook Pro
15inch Late 2011
OSX 10.9.1

Solved. Right click on the hard drive in Disk Utility, click "unlock."
So simple, yet so obscure.
