Music Typing Window Disappears?

hey guys,
When i use Garageband, the music typing window has completely disappeared in one of my files. Is there any way to get it back?
I've tried re-opening it and that doesnt work. I tried restarting garageband and the computer also, this doesnt help. In my other files i am still able to use music typing.. I can also use the keyboard typing, just not music typing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

please don't post the same question multiple times. see the first thread you started.

  • Musical Typing Window

    Is there anyway to make the musical typing keyboard work with Finale? I used to own a huge rack of gear and have now paired down to a single laptop. Simple entry in Finale takes a long time as does to some extend "speedy entry" Hyperscribe is the fastest, but requires hooking up my pro keyboard etc.
    Anyone know how this could be bridged or better, dose finale come with musical typing?
    Thanks for any help.

    MidiKeys does much the same thing - shows a keyboard on screen and lets you use your main keyboard. It's free.

  • My music typing window wont show on the desktop

    is there a hot key for that or setting

    Try deleting the Finder .plists. You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences.  Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
    Relaunch Finder and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
    If the Finder is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
    If that doesn't work, try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Musical Typing problem

    Hello there,
    I just started to use mainstage without a midi controller keyboard. I'm using the musical typing feature to listen to the bank of sounds.
    When i type something like a F#7 chord ("t", "u", "o", ";") i cannot hear the four notes together (when i'm playing them all at once)... it seems there's a problem when i'm trying to mix certain notes with the musical typing keyboard. (Some complicated chords just don't work).
    I have the same problem with Logic 8 . (press caps lock to see the musical typing window).
    I can't see why i can't get that F#7 chord.
    I'm using mac os 10.5.1 with a macbook pro 2,4 ghz.
    thanks

    Computer keyboards aren't designed to respond to multiple keys all pressed at once. I think you'll find the most a standard Mac keyboard will deal with is four keys at once, but even then they won't respond with minimal latency, because they aren't designed for this.
    It's a limitation to how computer keyboards are built and processed, not a Logic/Mainstage issue as such. The caps lock keyboard is a convenience thing - it's not intended to be a suitable interface for playing Rachmaninov on...

  • Musical Typing disappeared

    Have tried for hours to figure this out! The Musical Typing screen has disappeared and nothing seems to bring it back. Funny thing is my keyboard still plays when in musical typing, it justn't doeas show up on my screen. Any ideas?
    Thanks!!!

    It may have got moved off-screen. Does just the edge of it show on any edge of your screen? Can you increase your screen resolution to check? If you can find it and move it back, make some change to the song before saving so that it will save the keyboard position.

  • Cannot hear musical typing.

    I added an audio track to a blank Garageband project, and attempted to play a virtual instrument track over that audio track using musical typing. When the audio track is inserted, I cannot hear anything from the virtual instrument track. Whether the audio is playing or not, no key I hit makes noise. However, I can record on the virtual instrument track, and hear back what I've recorded. I simply cannot hear it otherwise (including as I record). Im hoping that this is just a quick fix because I am relatively new to the program. Thanks!

    Hi
    In iChat 6 there was some cross over between the Bonjour Account's "Send As I type" and any  Yahoo login (which has it in the Yahoo for Mac app but not in iChat) and actually allowed some form of staggered Messages to be sent over Yahoo.
    The Bonjour Option has now disappeared in Messages and it now cannot be done.
    If on the other hand you mean that the chat window is not displaying the 3 dot ellipses to indicating someone is typing that is a different matter.

  • Safari 3.0.4 on OS 10.5.1 not crashing but browser windows DISAPPEAR! Help!

    I know there is a thread in the beta forum with a generic title "Safari acting strange" but I figured a more specific thread title might get more attention from those experiencing the same anomalies.
    Here is my problem:
    I'm using Safari 3.0.4 that came with the Leopard 10.5 disk I installed on my laptop. Safari was working fine for a good couple weeks and then suddenly it began acting strange indeed.
    Now after an undetermined amount of time when I have a Safari browser window(s)/tab(s) open it will suddenly disappear off my screen without provocation (meaning I don't have to perform any action to do this. I can be sitting there not touching the laptop or typing anything; it will just disappear as if some unseen person with a remote control hits the Let's-mess-with-this-guy's-computer button). At first glance it seems that Safari has crashed.
    However when I look to see what happened or perhaps relaunch I see that Safari is still up and running. The menu bars all work. It seems to be in perfect working order. Only problem is the browser windows have disappeared and nothing I do will bring them back. I can try to create new browser windows and Safar thinks it is creating them because I can check in Windows menu and see the fruits of my efforts stacking up more and more as I add new windows and tabs in an attempt to get the browser windows back. However where these windows live is a mystery to me. When I try to quit Safari I get an Alert message asking me if I really want to close the windows with the multiple tabs in them (further supporting the theory that Safari still thinks windows are open and seeable by me)
    When I DO quit Safari and relaunch it, it remains in the same state. No browser window is seen yet looking in the Windows menu I can see that a new browser window is present. The only way to use my Safari again is to reboot my computer. Of course this fixes the problem for maybe 5 minutes until the browser windows disappear again. And that's when I switch to Firefox.
    I've repaired permissions. I've checked for any Input Managers folder for culprits but seeing as this is a fairly new laptop and that I just did an Archive and Install of Leopard with a fresh Safari in toe I have not installed any 3rd party applications so no Input Managers folder exists anywhere on my laptop.
    I have the standard Safari Plug-Ins that come with Quicktime.
    I have Spaces turned off. I am not using dual monitors so the browser windows are not being shot off to a second screen somewhere.
    I see nothing in the crashlog because I actually don't think Safari is treating this behavior as a crash. It's not quitting unexpectedly or anything.
    So I am at a total loss. Any ideas?

    I had this problem as well.
    First: In Safari go into preferences and select the "security" tab. Uncheck "Enable Plug-ins"
    This fixed a lot of bugs for me !
    Second: If that worked than you just need to go to Hard Drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    There should be a folder there that is called "Disabled Plug-Ins" I just put all of the plug-ins in that folder, went back and rechecked " Enable Plug-Ins" in Safari preferences, and then one by one added plug-ins back out of the disabled folder while reloading a web page that caused problems before. After some trial & error I think I have a setup that works for now. Hope this helps!! Also as of now I have installed all software updates. My mac has been doing this for a while. Logging out & back in reset safari back to where it was useable.
    I have not had problems with any other programs.

  • Mail messages window disappear when searching

    Hello,
    I'm using Mail 8.0 on OS X 10.10 (14A389). With French language and localisation. This is something I already noticed in Public Beta.
    I have my Sent folder selected (maybe it would happen with another). I start typing something in the search box. Then the whole main messages window disappear immediately. But Mail thinks it's still visible. Even search suggestions continues to show. Typing cmd+0 to hide/show the messages window does not help.
    I have to restart Mail to get my messages window back.
    This happens randomly. After restarting Mail I can search as usual without the window disappearing. But sometimes later it will happen again.
    Anyone encounters this too? Is this known from Apple? Any better temporary workaround than restarting Mail?

    It still happens and it really gets boring. I have Mail 8.0 (1990.1). It happens from any folder selected: Inbox, Sent, Smart Inboxes...
    How could such a bug remain undetected and not fixed asap? Maybe it's a plot from Apple to get us to ditch Mail and instead buy Unibox, Sparrow or Airmail from the Mac App Store so they get more $$$ commissions?

  • Oxygen 49 and musical typing not responsive with Logic X

    So recently my M Audio Oxygen 49 Midi keyboard stopped working. I tried switching to the Musical typing and that didn't work either. I don't know if Logic X doesn't support the keyboard but then why does the musical typing not work. Any solutions?

    Assuming that your Audio output is still working ok... Drag an Apple Loop to the arrange window and see if you can hear it play back to confirm.. and if you cannot hear anything go to Logic's Preferences/Audio and check that Core Audio is checked and the correct audio output is selected for Output...
    Musical Typing works fine with LPX and any OS X combination so the issue has to be either;
    User Error...
    or...
    Some form of preferences corruption.. or issue with your Control Surfaces...
    Therefore... try the following first.... deleting both the Logic10.plist and the CS files...
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    Quit Logic Pro
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    Restart the computer.
    Note: If you cannot find the two files.. you have not followed the instructions exactly as written.....

  • Musical typing not working properly

    Hey guys I'm new to Logic Pro X and Im having some difficulties with the Musical typing keyboard.
    For some reason the note "E2" does not play when I hit the "D" key on my keyboard, all the other notes work fine and even with lower and high octaves but for some reason "E2" does not work. I checked the Velocites and an its fine so I have no idea what it could be as it was working earlier today.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Open your Controller Assignments window (cmd-K), delete the assignment to E2 and close the window. Make sure Learn Mode is off (=grey button - blue button means it's on))

  • HT1451 Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!

    Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
    Hours and Hours of renaming, adding cover photos and so on have been for nothing. Itunes cannot find the files since they're not in the library at all!
    I still have the music on my computer but don't want to add it as it is, as I have spent a lot of time "fixing" it! PLEASE HELP!

    Did you use spotlight to search? (I'm assuming you have a Mac as given above despite this thread being in the Windows forum). How long have you used iTunes on this computer? Is there a backup to your library, perhaps an only copy of it on a machine you've "retired". Is the media present in the media folder? (Yes, you've answered that earlier.) If so then the media files should have absorbed all the tag changes that you made and reimporting the media into a new library might not be a complete disaster, though playlists, playcounts, ratings etc. would be irretrievably lost.

  • How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

    Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

  • How can i transfer my music from windows 7 to a mini mac

    I need some help as I bought a mini mac for more storage for my music on windows 7 and greater ease of use for managing my music library.
    I also have an external hard drive full of music 750GB I was hoping to transfer.
    I am now considering an external hard drive as a last resort to at least rip my several 100 cds as nothing has worked to date.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm a real Apple newbie
    Thanks

    Depending on the size of your music/video collection, an external HD is probably the best way to go.
    I have nearly a Terabyte of music and videos and that simply won't fit on a Mini's 500Gb HD, so I keep it elsewhere.
    Moving it is simply a matter of physically copying the files to the external HD and then pointing iTunes to the location.

  • ICal week view window is gone. When selected the window disappears.

    Whenever I click on view->week view (or just the "week" button on the bottom row) my ical window disappears. No idea where it is going. If I click on view->day/month the window comes back. However, after it comes back in day or month view, the info sidebar (and button at the bottom to control it, along with the todo and results list buttons beside it) now isn't there.
    Any ideas how to fix this? I think it happened when I plugged my laptop into a 1024x768 projector and then changed my mind quickly and unplugged it, but it has been like this for a couple of weeks now through several reboots etc.
    This is a macbook pro running tiger.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Bruce,
    Often iCal display anomalies can be rectified by refreshing the iCal plist file.
    Quit iCal, and drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for desired behavior.
