Piano keyboard not communicating with Mac

I have installed the driver for my Yamaha keyboard, but it's not connecting with the Mac. Is there a step I'm missing?
Thx,
Redhousearts

The Yamaha support site shows drivers from OS 8 (1997) which makes this a very old machine indeed. The site shows it to be discontinued, as you say. The keyboards of that vintage used a cable MIDI to USB which is now difficult to find widely available since most recent controllers are USB interface. It seems that you will have to consider a more up-to-date controller for use with your Mac. I have used M-Audio controllers with a great deal of reliability in conjunction with my Macs causing no trouble for driver and recognition: simply plug and play with both GarageBand and Logic as well as Finale (for Speedy Entry using MIDI input). I find the M-Audio reasonably priced and effective for my studio work at my DAW. My current controller is M-Audio Oxygen 49; no concerns on iMac and MacBook Pro (10.6.8)in addition to MacBook Pro (10.7.2). Good luck in your search.

Keyboard not communicating with computer

When I first boot up my HP All In One, I try to enter my login information but no characters appear. So I restart and am able to log in. But the keyboard stops working. When I hit a key, nothing appears on the screen and I hear kind of a beep (not like normal keyboard sounds).
The keyboard works on my Dell laptop (I'm using it there now) so I figure it must be the keyboard software on the HP. But if I download any software updates for the HP, how can I input my product information without a working keyboard?
The HP is only about 2 months old, by the way.
Thanks for your help.

hmm Im not really a a tech export or no anything about the HP all in one models but with most computers you can buy a replacement keyboard that if the computer has the right ports such as a usb port you can plug in a new keyboard.

Canon scanner not communicating with mac min using OS 10.5.8

I am using a mac mini with OS 10.5.8. I am trying to scan in papers with a Canon Canoscan N1240U. This is the message I am receiving.
     Cannot communicate with canner.
     Cable may be disconnected.
     Check status.
     Scanner driver will be closed.
I have used this scanner before with this mac mini. Any suggestions why this is happening and to correct the issue.

I think you should, if you can, try the scanner on a different computer to rule out a problem with the scanner or it's usb cable. Then, if you have the software install disk for the scanner run it. Or download and install a new driver or software. Use the finder to find and delete any files for the scanner and then reinstall them. set the scanner up in systempreferences as if it's a newly installed item.

My MacBook is not communicating with my desk top to enable printing from my MacBook. I need to find out how to make that happen. I have a static IP address on my desktop but don't know what to do on the Mac Book.

My MacBook is not connecting to the host computer for the printer. The host computer has a static IP address which is different from the IP address that the laptop is looking for. How do I change the laptop so that it looks for the host computer's correct IP? The laptop is connected to the router. I know this because I can get on the internet with the laptop.

The host computer is Dell and the operating system is Windows 7. The printer is an Epson, and it is wired to the host computer with a USB cable. It does have host printing turned on.
The three have been working harmoniously for a long time. The router had to be reset; and after that, the MacBook documents would no longer print.
We created a new static IP address on the Dell but the MacBook is not recognizing it. We have researched the internet trying to figure out how to make the MacBook locate and recognize the correct IP address from the Dell so they can communicate with each other. The laptop is not communicating with the host computer because is is looking for the wrong IP. The host IP is 192.168.1.245 and the laptop is looking for 192.168.15.237.
I hope everything is clear. The person who originally set it up is no longer available to help me. Thank you for any help you may give me.

Which piano keyboard works best with GarageBand?

I just got a MacBook Pro and am looking to get a piano keyboard to use with GarageBand. I would like for it to be able to be played without hooking it up to my computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Fletcher

the best way to do this would be to write down the features you're looking for, and check out a local music store so that you can see what looks and feels good to you (keeping in mind the factors I mentioned above for compatibility)
If that's just not an option, you might take a look at this 88 key stage piano or this 'Premium' stage piano
Disclaimer: I have not personally used either one, and I'm not a piano player (though I have a 49e controller that I've very happy with), but this is a good brand that is also well known around here for being Mac Friendly

My iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening. My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud.

my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening. My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud. Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.
Most recent version of mountain lion updated over a month ago. New iPad in use for over a month.
thanks

The same thing is happening to me, Mail was fine about an hour ago and now is rejecting correct password. Typical when today I'm waiting some important emails!

External keyboard that compatible with mac

I'm using macbook pro 13 inch with mountain lion installed in it. I want to use external keyboard because i want to keep a distance between my eyes and the screen. But i want a wired keyboard, and for me I will not choosing wireless keyboard because it use some batteries. Also sometime the bluetooth connection not so good (in some cases i read in the review). I know that apple has its own keyboard but for me the price still expensive for a wired keyboard. So, what is the keyboard that suite with mac? Is it all keyboard including windows type keyboard? Any cheap keyboard compared to apple's one?

Jill,
Boy you hit an old thread. I don't know that zikeryn is still around, so I'll throw my thoughts in here. My first Apple USB Extended keyboard lasted about 1 1/2 years - and the I (stupidly) tried to clean it with a very moist (read WET) micro-fiber cloth and got liquid in the keyboard. My bad, so I can't blame the keyboard. I rushed right out (to Amazon) and purchased another. I love this keyboard - I was lost when I had to go back to using my built-in keyboard. It's sturdy like a brick - it just doesn't like water!
I would urge you to go for it - unlike third-party keyboards that may have drivers, System Preference panes, etc., this on just, as I said, WORKS.
Good luck,
Clinton

Imessage on my computer not communicating with my phone. In my computer settings my phone number is no longer an option, just my email. How do I get it back?

HI,
I had this.
On checking the iPhone the iPhone Number was not ticked and the whole option to change it was greyed out.
I removed the Apple ID and waited to see if th Number got ticked (Settings > Messages > Send and Receive).
It did not.
I put the iPhone in Airplane Mode
After a few minutes I "restarted" the iPhone by turning off Airplane Mode
This time the Number was ticked.
I Added the Apple ID and then restarted Messages on the Mac.
I soon got the pop message about the iPhone using it's Number and the Apple ID and Accepted.

You need Snow Leopard at least.

Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine. I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
Unsupported operating system
The router software supports these operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
- Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
- Mac OS X 10.7 or later
I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
Thanks
Gary

All i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

In context not working with Mac Safari 6.04

Hi there just noticed
in context not working with Mac Safari 6.04, you can edit text, and save and publish but editable marquees are no longer visible especially the repeating elements?

Hi Vicki,
I would suggest submitting a support case on this for further investigation.
Unfortunately I'm on a PC machine so I cannot confirm on my end. Please reach out to direct support ASAP if the issue is still existing.

HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences.

Hello,
I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
- Project: CD/DVD Label
- Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
6. Click "Print" on the toolbar
Regards,
Vicarious
