Midi Keyboard isn't Recognized by my Mac

Hi all,
So I was working on Logic Pro a few days ago with my M-Audio Oxygen 61 keyboard. I had to reboot my computer for some reason and then tried to use my keyboard again and it wouldn't play any sounds. If i plug it in theres enough power to turn the keyboard on but it wont reinstall its driver (which has dissapeared from my computer) or be recognized by the computer. Any tips? I knopw its been discussed before, but I'm in no way experienced with the software or technology, so I could use any help I can get. Thank you all for your time.

My midi keyboard doesn't appear on my mac

My Midi Keyboard turns on when i connect it to my Macbook but my Macbook doesn't detect the keyboard when am on Garageband, What am i suppose to do?

GarageBand only see a MIDI Device when you OSX system recognizes it.
Open the Audio MIDI Setup utility (found in the /Application/Utilities/ folder). Open the MIDI Window (in the View Menu). If you don't see your MIDI Keyboard there, then you might need to install a proper Driver. Check with the manufacturer of your MIDI keyboard.
I assume that you plugin your Keyboard to the USB port of your MacBook. That's where it gets its power, but that still doesn't mean that it can communicate via MIDI.
I explain all those setup steps and the necessary information to understand all that in my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
Hope that helps

IPod shuffle plays but isn't recognized by my MAC

My son says he can listen to things on his Ipod shuffle. His battery is fine. When we connect it to the computer, and turn it on, we see the green light flash once, no orange light ever flashes and the computer doesn't recognize that it's connected. I have tried it in our two MACs and a PC laptop. Is there a fix anyone knows about?

Hi judym and welcome to Discussions,
While the ipod is connected directly to your Mac and you launch or open iTunes does the ipod appear in the menu?
If you are just connecting the ipod to your Mac or PC and waiting to see it appear it might not if you have not set up your ipod to be used as " disk drive " or selected in iTunes " Open iTunes when iPod is attached".

Also launch iTunes and while the iPod is attached and select your iPod from the menu. Then select the Settings Tab and you can select features from the Options area including the Enable Disk use.

My volume isn't recognized when reinstalling Mac OSX Tiger

I am reinstalling mac osx on my mac book black, because I got a folder with a question mark whenever I boot up my computer. When I'm installing the disks there's no volume to install mac osx. What do I need to do?

From the Tiger installer you need to open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. On the left side, see whether your hard drive shows up. If it doesn't, your hard drive has likely failed and you'll need to purchase another one or take your macbook to a service provider to have it replaced.
If it shows up, you should try to repair it or reformat it, depending on whether you're worried about the data that's on it.

HELP: Canon Vixia HF20 isn't recognized by my MAC

I have imported videos to the computer before from this exact camcorder. Now it won't recognize my Vixia HF20. I have troubleshooted by looking through articles on the apple site and the canon site. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED - I AM AT A LOSS!!!

I just started having this same issue tonight its very frustrating as ****. I have been dorking around with software to edit and burn these file way to long and now it doesn't mount on my desktop like it did before. I have re intialised it, reset it, powered it off it wont show up on my mac. And who ever the dork is saying you need firewire and push play you have no clue about this. When I connect it to my PS3 it sees it and plays the clips. Why wont my my MacBook do this anymore? I installed VM Fusion and windows 7 ultimate last night and Pinnacle HD hoping to be able to use it with my HF20 but that ran slow as **** trying to import. I safely ejected the camera then tonight I tried messing with log and transfer to FCE but I couldn't get the camera to even show up. I notice when I plug in the usb and select pc the usb symbol flashes the whole time and there is a blank screen on the LCD of the camera. It used to say some stuff and the symbol would stay lit and not blink. I tested this on my PS3 and it stays lit no blinking with words on the screen about not disconnecting power etc.
I also notice everytime I power it of I get a warning sign telling me its busy but it powers off anyway. Please help Im tired of dealing with this camera. It shoots great video. But this format is kicking my but and wallet.

I've found multiple data recovery programs, but Iäm wondering if they might just do some damage and whether they're reliable?

How To Get A New Midi Keyboard Working On Mac 5G

Hello
i have a new midi keyboard ( Yamaha mx61 ) and an old mac 5g. Iv used a midi drum kit fine ( Yamaha DTX ) just plug in and play with garage ban. However, the keyboard want be found. The USB ( small ) from the keyboard to the USB to the computer , same as the drums and it's pick up as a standard typing keyboard.
Iv tried using the discs given but they won't work as this mac is running on10.4.11. Is there anyway to get it to work in garage band or is this to do with my mac being old.
thanks

Buying an Install Disc is the only way, it an Upgrade rather than an Update in strict terms.
10.4.x to 10.4.11 is an update, 10.4.x to 10.5.x is an upgrade.

I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document “VN622195.WMA” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

USB MIDI controller no longer recognized by mac (not even in System Information).

Hello!
I have an M-Audio Keystation 49e that I have been using with my MBP (early 2008 model) for a few years with absolutely zero problems ever. I recently bought a very generic Chinese MIDI interface ("Sanoxy" brand) to go between my full-size Yamaha and mac so that performances of parts into logic would be on weighted keys and such.
For a while I used both the MIDI interface with the Yamaha and the little 49-key MIDI controller (via USB and also powered by the USB) with no problems. I believe this problem occurred when I tried to use both the MIDI interface and MIDI controller on one USB port using a Targus external number pad (unpowered) that has two USB ports on it (bad idea I'm sure). I did this because my MBP only has two USB ports on it and I was using the other for my audio interface.
I have reset PRAM more than a couple times, reset SMC, cleaned caches (even though this could be done more thouroughly maybe with a recommended program besides Cocktail - trial is expired), even replaced AppleMIDIUSBDriver.plugin from my parents iMac which the MIDI controller still works on. All this and nothing. The keyboard is not recognized as even being plugged into the USB port on System Information even though the lights are on, much less AMS.
Any other information you need I'd be happy to let you know.
Super thanks!

Recording from a midi keyboard to a Mac Pro

I am planning to get a Mac Pro and I have a midi music keyboard with a typical midi plug that fits the gameport connection on a soundcard.
How would I connect this to a Mac Pro to record music with Garage Band?
Currently, the midi keyboard gets its power from the PC computer that I connect it to, in case that affects the situation for any advice given.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Thanks for the welcome BlayZay!
I actually already have a gameport to usb adapter that I use for my joystick which came with a gameport connector but it's easier for me to connect it to the front USB on the PC when I feel like playing games and I leave my midi keyboard permanently connected to the gameport interface of my soundcard.
Do you know if the USB connection on a Mac Pro would send power to the midi keyboard to allow it to operate when connected to the Mac?
Thanks.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files the error message is could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

I just installed RAM into my 2007 Mid iMac. I went to turn it on and the fan goes on and such. The screen isn't lighting up and (Caps lock) the keyboard isn't working. It's plugged in too.

Installed two 2GB RAM cards to my Mac. Plugged it in, turned it on. You can hear it running. My keyboard isn't lighting up (Caps Lock) and the screen is black.

Assuming the RAM is to the exact spec required, try re-seating the RAM. When you think it is fully seated give it an extra shove with both thumbs - it only needs to be a fraction out for it not to work. If that fails to solve the problem, put the old RAM back in and test. If it works that narrows it down to the new RAM being the problem.
