Welcome tamojuan, great minds do think alike!
With the MPC 2500 usb then in logic,
Go to Audio then Preference, then to Midi, then Sync
MTC that what you want, not sure how it is on Express.
With Triton usb then create a Rewire with Midi, its a bit Technical, since its been so long i have done this,
I hope someone else can further help!
as i am not even near to my set-up.

    How can I mirror my Macbook Pro desktop through Airport Extreme to a digital projector with only a DVI & VGA inputs?? Want to use it for presantation like Keynote/ Pages.

    Never mind, I solved it.  Didn't know the converter needed a power source to operate (duh!)  Now I have that, it works just fine.......

  • Macbook Pro on Wi-Fi extremely slow

    I just got new Charter wi-fi service, and my Macbook Pro with Lion is extremely sluggish when loading webpages. The speedtest is fine. Other Windows computers in the area seem to work fine.

    difference between my macbook pro and windows computer internet speed. Major difference is about webpage loading time. Could you please let me know what could I do to figure it out?
    Your ISP's DNS servers are not communicating with your Mac properly. This is a common problem. Follow the instructions and setup your own DNS servers from OpenDNS: http://www.opendns.com/

  • HT201335 I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but stream the sound to my Airport Express linked speakers.  However re Airplay icon doesn't show up in iTunes when playing the rental video.  Is there a way around that?

    I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but AirPlay the audio to my AirPort Express linked speakers.  However the AirPlay icon isn't available when arching the rental video in iTunes.   Is there another way?  Do I need to but an AppleTV?  I don't own a TV, hence why I want to watch on my MacBook Pro.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    With or without an Apple TV you can't send video to one device and audio to another using AirPlay.

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

    Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
    My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

    Hello:
    I would trot back into the Apple store and have them fix the problem (or call Applecare with a warranty issue).  There is no sense in you wasting your time trying to troubleshoot things on a new computer.

  • My macbook pro (late 2011) is extreme slow, freezing, crashing and lagging too often.

    I am new to the forum, I hope this is the good topic to post my problem.
    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, and it is getting slower and slower. The performance was bad with Mavericks as well, but now, with Yosemite installed, it is much more worse. I have never reinstalled my system (only upgraded the osx), so it is an almost 3 years old setup. In that time I have installed a lot of applications, and also deleted a lot. About a year ago I upgraded the RAM, but didn't help too much. Now with Yosemite my startup time is more than 5 minutes, and sometimes the startup freezes (and I have to push the power button long to retry). Safari with 5-10 tabs is extreme slow, and lagging when I switch tabs or open new ones. To launch a new app, for example skype, i have to wait 1-2 minutes. Everything is slow. Sometimes my finder crashes, and works only if I restart the macbook. Another example: if I open the downloads folder in Finder, I have the spinning loading icon for about 20-30 seconds, and just after this time can I see the content of the folder.
    My console is full of errors, I get new records in every single seconds. I repaired the disk permissions, deleted safari cache, history, etc. but nothing helped.
    Many people here attached an "etrecheck" record for their threads, I downloaded the app, and made one scan, you can see my results here, I hope someone with more technical skills can help me!
    Thank you in advance!
    (and sorry for my english - it is not my mother language)

      Dec 11, 2014, 12:04:08 PM Self test - passed

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Macbook pro connects to airport extreme only 50% of the time

    Hi,
    I have a mac book pro that i use with an airport extreme unit. When the laptop comes out of hibernation it does not connect to airport extreme. I have to put it back to sleep and start for the second time for it to connect. Any ideas on what the problem is?
    thanks!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi Laurent,
    although I was given the advice earlier that I should simply take the machine back to the shop, or call the help centre, I ended up just praying that it would be OK.  A couple of days after I posted the message I think there was an update to download and install, just a regular one from Apple from the Software Update option for the operating system or it may have been one for Final Cut Pro X, and once it installed I never had the problem again, so my prayers were answered.
    It was pretty scary at the time because I thought it must be some hardware malfunction, but because it was resolved through an update it suggested it was a software issue.  Hopefully it is the same with you.
    I'm now running 10.7.2 and have had no recurrence of the problem in many months, thankfully.
    It might have nothing to do with it, but the only other two things that may have somehow caused errors in the system startup (and I doubt these will be "unrelated" to people who know how computers work better than I do, but I feel I should mention them just in case), but I also updated Final Cut Pro X from a glitchy version to version 10.0.2 around the same time, and I also had an application installed which didn't function correctly in OS10.7 called PowerController (a simple app that can start up the computer at a set time and play music from iTunes as an alarm clock) and it was in the group of apps that were set to start at the starting up of the computer.
    Anyway, I hope your problem is resolved as easily.  Pray about it too!

  • Setup for an iMac G5, a MacBook Pro, and an AirPort Extreme

    Any experience I've had with computers was in the early 80s, yes, it is very sad.
    I purchased a G5, the laptop, and the AirPort and have been able to set everything up and get everything going. Just amazing.
    I've only run into one issue.
    I have access to the Internet via a cable modem. My G5 sits on my desk. I would like to continue to use wire with it. I would like to be able to use my laptop in wireless mode.
    At present, if I want to switch between machines, I have to unplug the cable from the back of my computer, move it to the AirPort, power down the cable modem box, power it back up, power up the AirPort. Not knowing what I'm doing, it was the only way I could think of to accomplish my goal. It works, but it is a pain.
    What can I do so that I have the ability to have the G5 wired and the laptop wireless.
    Thanks,
    Sheila
    P.S. Please type s-l-o-w-l-y and remember I'm new to all of this. : )
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    What can I do so that I have the ability to have the G5 wired and the laptop wireless.
    Looks like you already have all the necessary components to do this. The following would be the suggested network configuration with the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn):
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN port] AEBSn [LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] iMac G5, AND AEBSn > (wireless) > [built-in AirPort Extreme] MacBook Pro
    In this configuration, you should be able to access the Internet both via wire for the iMac and wirelessly with the MacBook Pro.
    The following would be the basic set up steps, using the AirPort Utility (in Manual mode), for a cable modem connection...
    AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBSn) w/Cable Modem
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the Cable modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)
    Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBSn. (optional)
    - (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
    Setup the AEBSn
    Temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Mode, check these settings:

    I get a Beachball when performing simple operations in Flash CS5 on my brand new MacBook pro i7 quad. sometimes up to 5 minutes. Activity monitor shows one processor maxed during beachball. Very frustrating. Finder shows flash not responding until the beachball disappears.  Also takes extremely long to open Adobe files. Running 10.6.7   Please help ! Thank you !

    I've never seen/heard a rule of thumb for that size, but the lower the better, higher is worse. A few MB is basically nothing. When you get up into GBs, that's noticeable. Dozens of GBs or higher is not good.
    And this is your lucky night, you get to read about thrashing! Now doesn't that sound like fun?

  • Macbook Pro, Windows xp, Airpot Extreme, and Internet...

    This may have been touched on in this forum but I still cannot make things work (semi-newbie). MBP 2.33 15", the vendor installed Windows XP, and there is not a problem connecting from the Mac side to my Airport extreme wirelessly. The Windows side, however, does not now, and has never been able to connect to the Airport. An Apple care guy took me through the windows set up and told me my 'windows wireless drivers' were not installed. Does this sound true? Do I try (gulp) to uninstall windows xp and reinstall from the cd? Do I track down a MS techie and hand the laptop and xp disc over to him to install? Will this fix the problem? Any advice from those who know is appreciated...farmdoc

    If you open the Airport Admin Utility and configure your base station you will see a "Change Wireless Secirity…" button. Click on it and you will see what method you're using. While the Wireless security field states what method you're using it's won't state whether you're additionally allowing both WPA and WPA2 so you need to confirm it.

  • Macbook Pro cannot configure AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility

    Hi all,
    I can't get my macbook pro's airport utility to connect to my airport extreme, and hard reset doesn't seem to work either. However, the airport extreme still functions properly... just doesn't allow me to reconfigure it.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open AirPort Utility.
    --> my AirPort Extreme router shows up with a green light (it's working).
    --> Information displayed includes "AirPort Utility found an AirPort Extreme with 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet)", with correct-looking gateway and IP information (version 7.2.1)
    2. Click "Continue"
    --> Screen shows "Reading base station configuration..." with a little spinning icon.
    3. Wait 3 minutes.
    --> During this wait, the green light stays lit on the router, my wireless connection does not drop, and the icon next to "Reading base station configuration..." continues to spin.
    4. Popup dialog appears: "An error occurred while reading the configuration. Please make sure your AirPort base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)". The AirPort extreme is sitting 2 feet from my MacBook Pro, connected only by wireless internet.
    At this point, I wonder whether hooking it up with an ethernet cable would work better. So I did the following:
    1. Turn off Macbook Pro Airport wireless card.
    2. Connect an ethernet cable from the laptop to the 2nd port of the Airport Extreme
    3. Wait 60 seconds for DHCP etc.
    4. Close the Airport Utility (from the last test)
    5. Open the Airport Utility again
    6. My Airport Extreme router is again displayed, the same information is present as before.
    7. Click Continue
    --> "Reading base station configuration..." message with spinning icon appears again.
    8. Wait 3 minutes. During this time, as before, the green light on the router stays lit, and nothing much seems to happen. I ran a "ping google.ca" from a terminal window just to verify that my internet stayed connected during this process, and the pings all responded fine.
    9. Again, an error popup: "An error occurred while reading the configuration. Please make sure your AirPort base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)"
    At this point, I decided it might be a good idea to do a hard reset. I pressed and held down the tiny button on the back of the Airport Extreme for 6 seconds then released... no visible result. Green light still on. Then I tried for 11 seconds. Still no result, green light still on. I restarted the router, waited for the green light to come back on, and tried again with 6 seconds then 11 seconds again. STILL no result.
    I can't think of anything else to try. Any suggestions?

    The Windows "Airport Setup" version you need for the Airport Extreme N base station is not really available for download - but you can get it if you are up to following this procedure:
    1. download "AirPort Base Station Update 2007-002 for Windows" from Apple's web site
    2. use a Winzip utility to extract the contents of the file you downloaded (called Airport521update.exe) to another folder.
    3. the contents of that folder should include four files - applesoftwareupdate.msi, apsetup.msi, apsetupadmin.exe, and bonjour.msi
    4. go to All Programs -> Accessories. Right click on the "Command Prompt", select to "run as administrator", and click continue when Windows asks for your permission to run this command.
    5. in the command prompt window, type and execute the command
    msiexec /i pathto_folder_of_files_youdownloaded\apsetup.msi /qb ap50isinstalled=1
    This method simply forces the installer into thinking Airport 5.0 is already installed, thus letting the installer complete its job of installing a full working copy of the updated version.
    This procedure also installs Bonjour for Windows, which will simplify the task of configuring on the PC any printer connected to the Base Station.

  • Macbook Pro 15 Late 11 extreme fans noise when using external monitor

    Dear Apple, recently I bought Macbook Pro 15 Late 11. I really love it's speed and new OS X Lion, BUT this Macbook really noisy when I use external monitor and keyboard. I work on external monitor all the time. I don't care about how hot my Macbook is when I'm on external monitor. Let it just be hot and quiet.
    P.S. Example. I run Ableton Live and have 6200 RPM working on external monitor (awfully loud!). CPU 90% idle. When I switch off external monitor and use internal one, RPM drops down to 4500 with the same Ableton work session. By the way, I don't need cool graphic card. Apple, let our work days be quiet.

    I did that and it didn't help. It's common problem with an external monitor. Here are some links:
