Networking MIDI signal problem (For GB3 on Intel iMac)

I've run in to the problem that m-audio has yet to put out drivers for my USB MIDI keyboard (Radium 61). As a work around I figured that I could set up a network connection from my iBook.
So I've got the Radium set up on the iBook, tested and working good. Now could someone tell me what's wrong with the rest of the set up?
On the iBook I've gone to MIDI Network Setup in the Audio MIDI Setup utility. I've made a new Session, enabled it and set the Live Routings top menu pop-down to the MIDI Device I want to send the signal form (in this case, the Radium) so it's set to the option "Radium Port 1". On the iMac I've got it a new Session started, and have connected with the iBook and set the Live routings Bottom pop-down to "Network *local name*" (in this case the local name is radium so it says "Network Radium").
Now Garageband says it has one midi connection but won't play any virtual instrument. If I check the enable box to turn it off, garageband alerts me that it has no inputs, if I turn it on I says it has one input, so I suspect that the issue is either on the iBook side of things or the connection. The Test MIDI Setup makes to noise on the iMac when it test it, but it works on the iBook end of things. Also the latency meter is showing nothing.
Anything I need to do different to set it up?

Just to give a little more info here. the Latancy meter is reading nothing. I figure the problem may be on the iBook side because i've found that checking the Enabled option on the iMac side of the set up makes garageband inform me of a change to either one input device is available or no input device is available.

  • Apple aware of video problem in the new Intel iMacs

    Apple investigates Intel iMac Front Row problems
    By Macworld staff
    Apple has confirmed it is aware of, and investigating, reports of video problems in the new Intel iMacs.
    Recent reports claimed that some users had experienced random horizontal lines and other video playback problems when playing video in Front Row.
    "Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it," the company said in an email to a web-based pressure group that has been gathering information on the problem. "If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare."
    The problem is allegedly software-based.

    "Sure, I'd be more understanding had it been an issue that required a very special set of conditions to trigger"
    Apparently it does as this issue is not affecting all users.
    "As I was told, affected owners would not be proactively notified"
    Where you you prefer them to use their limited resources, trying to figure out who MAY be affected and sending them some sort of detailed action plan, or spending the resources determining the cause of the issue and developing a solution that can be distributed to the ones who need it not only now, but those that may discover the issue next week?
    I can understand that you are frustrated, and don't blame you for feeling that way, but this is an all new piece of technology and bugs are going to come up that were missed in testing. No company can afford to test at a 100% level. To do so would drive the costs so high as to make it impossible to sell the product, especially to the market the iMac is aimed at. Apple has a pretty darned good track record of resolving issues quickly when they appear. Until they do you only have a few choices. Use the workaround until the solution appears, waste time complaining about it, or sell the iMac and purchase a different product. That's really about all you can do!
    It was good of you to spend your valuable time, and yes it is valuable, trying to help the engineers or service reps solve the issue. That they spent that much time with you should show their commitment to solving this issue.
    Be patient, give them a chance, they have not had long to try and figure this out.

  • Orchestra Instruments for GB3 on Intel

    Alas, Garritan Personal Orchestra is dead on my Intel iMac using GB3. This will give me some time to explore other possibilities. Has anyone used or heard a demo of ClassicalBoomBox?
    Besides JamPack 4, which sounds awful, does anyone know of any orchestral sample packs that will work with GB3 on Intel? I do not want ANYTHING that relies on Native Instruments software.
    Thanks!

    As one who engages in the dramatic arts, I know when I am being melodramatic. I do not use the term "awful" just to exclamate my point. The samples were so bad on JP4 that I made a comparitive analysis with Garritan Personal Orchestra at the link below. You will notice that JP4 is very harsh and each instrument comes in subito as if the bowing or breath was to make each song pesante in style. What if I wanted to do it legato?

  • Problem with File Sharing  -- Intel IMac Powerbook G4

    When I try to connect to my Intel IMac from my G4 laptop, I am able to make an initial connection for file sharing, but when I try to browse the mounted volume, the files don't show up and after about 30 seconds the connection breaks, I get a 'Server Connection Interrupted' message, and the file sharing on the IMac turns off automatically.
    Both OSs are up to date. Connection to G4 from IMac works correctly.
    Is this happening for anyone else? Any ideas on how I might fix this?
    Thanks

    I too have the same problem, a Powerbook that won't let anything connect to it via Personal File Sharing. And I haven't found any explanation in these forums or otherwise. I'm pulling my hair out here...
    Simple ethernet network with a Mini & PB G4, OS 10.4.7.
    I can sometimes connect to the PB from the Mini via Personal File Sharing. But I always get the "server connection interrupted" dialog, as soon as I try to access the mounted drives. Then the Mini's finder hangs up, and I have to force quit, sometimes taking the entire system down with it.
    I've tried connecting to the PB with other machines, and I get the same "server connection interrupted" problem. On the PB, I've rebuilt permissions, deleted /library/preferences/SystemConfiguration..., turned on & off all combinations of services and Directory Access, run fsck, created a fresh account, pretty much everything besides re-installing my system. Nothing fixes the problem.

  • Advice asked  for purchasing an intel iMac

    Hello, everybody,
    after 4.5 years i'm up to my next iMac, and have a question for advice: with my last iMac (G5, 1.8 GHz) i had a troubled relationship: after 18 months, it started to behave badly, and had two logic board exchanges within a very short time. Thanks to Apple, they were made under a LB replacement programme, so no cost for me (well, the replacement needed for several weeks when my iMac was in "hospital" was at my charge...) Now, the PSU shows signs of weakness... for my taste too early.
    I know many others had problems with this model (and with the PSU), after all, Apple launched a fairly vast replacement programme.
    My question: how is the Intel iMac? Is it similar to the old G5, or is it more reliable? i love the design of the iMac, the quality of its screen, and the system altogether - but would like to avoid a similar experience.
    Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
    thomas

    Hi, Kenichi,
    thanks for your comment. I installed everything of my old iMac on the new one i got yesterday night, and it seems to be a still nicer machine. Also the old G5 machine was nice, but had these stupid logic board problems, which caused me some severe problems 2 years ago. but since the LB got replaced (twice) by Apple under their exchange programme, not the normal warranty, it was running again very nicely. I hope that this intel machine is doing it the same way, and without need for changing hardware...
    I thought the G5 was a slim machine, but the new one is even slimmer... Great!
    Thanks again for responding.

  • Upgrade Graphics card for 2007 24in Intel iMac...any word yet?

    Hello, I remember talking about upgrading my 128mb graphics card on my 2007 24 inch Intel iMac a while back. people said it was possible, but now that two years have passed almost, have they come out with new cards that fit this machine? what is the best to use and where do I get one?
    Is it easy enough for me to do myself or should I have it installed professionally?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately not these machines were not intended to have graphic card upgrades therefore no graphics card upgrade is available for your iMac.
    If you want an upgradeable machine the next time your purchase I would recommend looking at the Mac Pro which is designed with upgradability in mind, including memory, hard drives, and yes graphics cards.

    After logging in to admin user, grey screen with spinning arrow
    Can login to Guest User but that is just set up for Safari only
    Tried starting in Safe Boot, zapped the PRAM, removed all peripherals, rebooted with installation disk and used Disk Utility - disk greyed out and says not mounted
    How can that be?
    this is an Intel-based iMac purchased last summer, recently installed Mountain Lion

    I have the same problem. Installed Mountain Lion, got the spinning orb with no escape so I powered down. Upon re-boot I have the dreaded "?" Tried restarting several times to no avial.
    In desperation, I inserted the 10.5 (Leopard) disk to install the original system version that came with my iMac. Now the install disk cannot find or mount my hard drive. I'm stuck.
    Anyone??

  • Need For Speed: Carbon & Intel iMac 2.8 GHz

    Hello All,
    I just bought *Need For Speed: Carbon*. I thought I met the requirements, but some other forumes discuss the ATI card may not be enough for the game. The game gives me the error "Cannot locate the DVD-ROM", although it is clearly inserted. I followed the instructions exactly, installed it onto my iMac, and then typed in the CD Key provided on the booklet.
    *My Apple iMac* from 2007 has 2.8 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2GB DDR2 SDRAM. 800MHz Bus Speed and L2 cache of 4 MB. I am using an _ATI Radeon HD2600_ graphics card. I am running Mac OSX 10.5.7.
    *Need For Speed: Carbon's* requirements for the game are Mac OSX 10.4.9 or higher, 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster, 512 MB RAM or more, 8x or faster DVD-ROM drive, 5.3 GB or more free space on HDD, and finally video cards Nvidia (7300 or better), *ATI (X1600 or better)* +Note: GMA950 integrated graphics adapter is not supported.+

  • Problem importing VHS on intel iMac

    I import VHS into iMovie using a Canopus ADV C100 converter via Firewire. I used to import onto an iMac G5 no problem. Now I switched to a new iMac Intel. When I now preview the VHS tape there is no audio, although the audio is captured when I import.
    But I really need the audio to work during preview.
    Could this be related to the built-in camera? I noticed when
    the converter is on and I open Photo Booth all I see is a green screen. When the converter is off, the camera works fine. Could the camera and converter be interfering with each other?
    Thanks for any help!

    Another option would be to check your preferences in iMovie and uncheck "filter audio from camera".
    this may be working overtime and removing all audio.

  • Different problems with iMovieHD on Intel iMAc

    hi there -
    i have 2 problems with iMovie HD 6.0 (233) on my brandnew 17" iMac (Intel):
    1. with the use of build-in transitions (soft/smooth, overlay) the AUDIO-file
    takes NO effect (only the images do)
    2. by importing clips from the camera i cannot hear AUDIO the same time
    (by replaying the importet clip audio is available/imported)
    any idea?
    thanks for help
    Mike

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    Try downloading the upgrade (..bottom-right on this page..) which is supposed to fix "..Ken Burns rendering performance, scrubber bar editing performance, theme image quality, PAL audio, and displaying iLife Sound Effects automatically in its iLife Media Browser. It also improves overall stability and addresses a number of other minor issues.."

  • Problems with iSight on Intel iMac

    I've got a very big problem with my iSight, since 2 days. The green light turn on right at booting, just after I push the Power button. Any software (Photo Booth, QuickTime Pro, iMovie) recognize my camera. The iSight isn't mentioned in Apple System Profiler, I only have "High speed USB bus".
    The iSight don't turn off while sleep.
    I tried to reset PRAM and SMC twice, I even tried to move Apple_iSight.kext out of Extensions folder but my problem's not solved.
    Thanks for any help

  • Which version of Aperture would be recommended for a 2007 Intel iMac?

    Just wondering what version of Aperture is going to be best to use on this system, I may be able to pick up an old version 2nd-hand (dated 2007, which matches the date of the iMac) which I assume is possibly Aperture version 1.
    The iMac is a 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM, work will just be light  with compact camera digital photos and the occasional scanned document or photo, mainly to fill in the gaps where iPhoto has had some of the finer controls removed.
    Will Aperture work along-side iPhoto?  So, in iPhoto (the one that comes with Tiger, '08 I believe), will there be a menu option to 'Send to Aperture', or does Aperture make it's own library and basically replace iPhoto?

    Normally I would agree, but this iMac is running Tiger 10.4.11, I believe Aperture 3 requires Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    The reason the iMac is on Tiger is that there was some problem with a couple of applications immediately crashing when they were run, they did not do this until just the other day and then they would always do it, I couldn't find a logical explanation for this and after a few attempts at re-installing bits and bobs I decided to back up and try a clean install of Snow Leopard, this went on OK but none of the Combo updates would install, they all failed as soon as the install started; this could have been due to a bad install from disc but no other discs showed any problems and I have used those discs before without any problems (plus there was no indication of a bad install).  I decided to take Snow Leopard off the machine and go back to it's original Mac OS install DVDs (Tiger).  It is fully updated as far as Tiger and the rest of the software on there goes, it is perfectly usable.
    This iMac is always going to be slow compared to an i5 model, I just do not want to bog it down too much with modern features and processor expectations.  Also, while it is running cleanly I am hesitent to put Snow Leopard back on it in case it runs in to the same problems again.
    Oh, and I ran repair permissions and disk verify several times (including when booted from the install discs) before resorting to re-installing Mac OS.
    The upshot is that I need Aperture that will run on Tiger, which is probably v1 but I don't know about v2 etc.  I am mainly interested to know whether or not v1 is a turkey and one to avoid.

  • Should I exchange my I Book G4 for the New Intel IMAC

    I just bought an G4 i book on 12-31 and maybe i should have waited untill after the conference to get a mac computer, but i really wanted the G4, and i been wanting to switch from PC to mac for a while, I guess i just chose the wrong time. I am not sure what to do now, should i take back my ibook and get an imac? I feel really dumb about getting the G4, even though it is great. I know they are going to come out with an intel one this year. Can anyone help me out and let me know what i should do? Any advice would be great. Thanks
    I Book G4   Mac OS X (10.0.x)  

    Hi Daniel,
    To your response about the programs not being able to work with the new Intels is true for the most part.Apple Developer Connection for a long time has had links on how to change program's code into Universal Binary. Many companies have switched their programs over to Universal Binary. Microsoft Office is available to work on the PowerMac. The PowerMac also works with FileMaker Pro and Quicken. I don't use MS Office or anything made by MS because I have iWorks '05, which is even better. It is fully compatible will MS Office.
    I am getting a PowerMac solely because I need a faster and more powerful machine. I have 8000 photos (2000 on iBook 6000 on iMac) and I can't fit and edit them all at the same time. I need the portability and the power to run the "pro" applications.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon
    PS I wouldn't say upgrade it to an Intel Mac unless you need to. The new Intel computers come with MS Office Test Drive, so I am guessing it works

  • Installation Problems for Photoshop cs3 on imac os x "PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!"

    I have recentley purchased a new imac. I have been trying to load my Photoshop v10 CS3 on to it, since i got it, however, once the I enter the CD, the Software shows up with all the relevant information to install! BUT the "SETUP" icon shows as a blank sheet of paper & when i double click it, it opens a new "MSDOS" window containing a load of text!
    Im really confused about this, and cannot understand why i cannot install it onto my imac...
    Would be greatful if someone has a solution, or can explain a reason WHY this is happening!
    Thanks.
    slr. x

    Well, who told you it was for a Mac? If you bought it at a retail store, you should be able to take it back there and exchange it for a Mac copy. If you bought it used, you should demand a refund from whoever you bought it from.
    Of course, that is all assuming it's actually a Windows copy, and there's not something else going on... What does it say on the CD? My Photoshop Elements CD is very clearly labeled "Macintosh."

  • Any way I can convert Quark docs for viewing on Intel iMac?

    Most of the important stuff is just letters so I wouldn't need to edit most.

    When you go to Print, use the Copies and Pages pull down to select Print Settings. There's a button on the lower left marked PDF that will save it as a PDF in OS X format. That's under 10.4.4. On previous OS versions, I'm sure it was called Print to File or something similar. Apple have changed the names of some of the Print dialogs. Basically you are looking for the save to file options.
    AFAIK, the PrinttoPDF XTension requires Adobe Acrobat to be installed (the full app not the Reader), if my memory serves me well.

Maybe you are looking for
