Since the issue really is not related to the focus of this forum...compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, you should 1. Try a different brand of discs. 2. Post your question on the iTunes forums: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150 3. Post your question on a Windows forum such as those at http://www.windowsforums.org

Audio recorded LATE... please help before I throw my MBP out the window!!!

Surely SOMEONE must have an answer to this:
Audio is being recorded LATE in the arrange. WHAT'S GOING ON?!!?!?
- There are NO effects across the output.
- This happens regardless of the soundcard - tested on an RME FF800 and an Mbox.
- It seems to be late by a random amount each time but seems to increase with track count/plugin use.
- Changing the buffer size makes no difference.
- Delay compensation settings make no difference.
- Recording delay slider is centered.
I'm runnning Logic 9.1 with a 2.53GHz 4Gb Macbook Pro on 10.5.8. I've had this problem ever since upgrading to L9.
It's driving me crazy. I'm a full-time writer/producer, and this is making every hour of my professional life very difficult!!!
Anyone?!

it's really weird actually... sometimes a new session will be fine at first, and sometimes there's latency straight away, but eventually it's sure to creep in, whether there are plugins on tracks or not... in fact, playing along with the click yields the same result, so it's nothing to do with where i'm perceiving the timing of pre-recorded parts to be (again, there are NO effects strapped across the output).
as i hinted at previously, a friend of mine had the exact same problem, so unless we're birdbrains of a feather it seems there is a problem with logic!

Need help with Imovie before I throw my computer out the window!

Ok so I got a canon fs200 for christmas and supposidly it works great with imovie. Now when I first hooked it up it kept crashing saying "IMovie quit unexpectedly while using the Sonix SN9C201 Webcam Plugin." I do not understand why its trying to use that plugin but anyways. So I messed with it some more and thought I figured out the problem and that it was plugged into my mini stack instead of directly into the computer. So when I tried that it loaded up great and worked, now today when trying to bring in videos from the camera it has gone back to crashing with same error! This makes NO sense...it is plugged directly into the computer it comes up as its own drive on my desktop yet crashes everytime I try to bring video in. Please help me with what I can do!

Wow..I feel like a idiot..I had my webcam plugged in and totally forgot about it b/c I never use it. Unplugged that and bammo works like a charm. Thanks for makin me realize it hah

About to throw ipod & laptop out the window

I received a ipod nano for Christmas and hate it already! I plugged it into my laptop that has Windows XP and got an error message stating I didn't have a high-speed USB port on my laptop. I tried both USB ports and have no idea how to get the error message to go away. All I want is songs, shouldn't that be easy enough?

To find out what USB you have, right click on 'My Computer' then click on 'Properties' then click on 'Hardware' then click on 'Device Manager' then click on 'Universal Serial Bus controllers'. If you see Enhanced Controller, then you should have USB 2.0. If not, you do not have it.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP BEFORE I THROW MY MAC OUT OF THE WINDOW!

Is my setup useless?
Logic crashes every time I open more than 1 external synth (e.g. predator, massive, ABL2). This occurs with no other instruments in the project.
It cant seem to take the CPU.
Here is what I have….
Apple iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz 512MB (2x256MB) 160GB (upgraded with 2gig of ram – as much as it can take!)
Logic 7
OSX 10.4.11
M Audio Oxygen V8 midi keyboard
Memory 2GB667 MHz DDR SD RAM
1.47gb memory free
92.82gb space free on hard drive
Can anyone offer some advice? Surely for what I have paid for the system, I should be able to get more out of it than this?…. is there anything else I can do to boost processing power?
Any help is massively appreciated!

Hi David,
Before sleeping out of your window waiting your Imac, maybe I would suggest couple things:
- Getting LOGIC 7.2.3
- Getting last M-AUDIO drivers (if lot compliant one)
- Repair permissions with let's say ONYX software.
- Are you using external firewire hardrive? (issue for some of Imac sometimes)
if this still causes you troubles, then you 'll see my face outside your house with my arms ready.
Cheers.

Help.. before i throw this thing out the window

I've had my macbook pro for about 2 weeks now... at first the internet was running insanely fast; you know, as it should have been. Lately, however, when i try to get online the pages wont even load, and when they do load, they load half-assed. Half the pictures don't show, only 3/4 of the text... i was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this. If there is a way to clean the computer.. i dunno just get it running to what it was like when i first got the thing.. thanks.

Here's a few questions, some which others above have implied:
1) Click the Airport icon in the Menu bar (the icon that looks like waves spreading in a v-shape in the top right-hand corner). Are you connected to YOUR network? Sometimes your MacBook Pro may connect to another network, and that network may have a low signal strength or a slow internet connection.
2) Try using Firefox or another browser to see if the problem doesn't lie with Safari.
3) Try connecting your laptop directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. If the internet runs fine, you may have a problem with your Airport card.
4) I'm no expert to know if this will help you, but the following has helped with a few software glitches I've had. Run Disk Utility, select your Mac partition (NOT the hard drive, and be especially careful if you have a Boot Camp partition), click the First Aid tab (which it probably opened into), and click repair disk permissions (this may take several minutes). Try out Safari to see if its any faster.
I have no idea whether force quitting any application would affect internet speed. But like I said earlier, I'm no expert. You have a Mac, so you don't really NEED an anti-virus program, but if you have to or insist, the best av program would be a free one. See:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6743168&#6743168
or just search these forums for antivirus. But again, you don't really need it as many posts throughout Apple Discussions have said they cause more problems than they fix. Hope I was able to help and that your problems get solved soon. The MacBook Pro is a wonderful, powerful computer and it's a shame that your having problems with a slow connection speed.

HELP! Before I throw my MP560 out the window!

I purchased a MacBook Pro in August 2010, and along with it the Canon MP560. I have it setup to print wirelessly from my macbook to the printer. Everything was going great until about a month ago. I can not get it to print, an error pops into the utility, saying "A communication error has occurred." I checked my system update and according to it, all my software is up to date.
I've also been having problems that the printer will print 1-2 inches of the page (very slowly), once it even printed 3/4 of the page before stopping...then gives "A communication error has occurred. Error Number : 306 A communication error has occurred. Make sure that the printer is plugged in, powered on, and properly connected to your computer. Then try printing again." Any ideas what is going on? Of course it is connected because it prints part of the pages.
Due in part to some bad advice I've read on here I can't even get the D&*) thing to work now and I'm about to chunk it! So if you can help, STEP BY STEP for a non-computer person like me, that would be great!

First thing, don't bother looking for an Ethernet port as Star1 suggested. This model does not have one.
The 306 communication error will occur if the wireless signal strength between the printer and router or Mac and router is poor. In most cases it is the printer at fault rather than the Mac. And this would explain the portion of the page only printing, as the machine fails to keep its connection to your wireless router.
You can check the signal strength by opening Safari and selecting the Bookmark icon in the toolbar. Within the sidebar that appears in Safari you will see Bonjour. Select this and the right pane should show the MP560. Select this and Safari will open the MP560 web page. The first page will show the Signal Strength and Link Quality. If either of these are below 50% then trying moving the printer closer to your wireless router and then refreshing the MP560 home page. If moving the printer closer to the router does not improve either measured value then try turning off the printer for a minute and then back on again. Now check the values again. If the values still fail to show better than 50% then I would suggest that the wireless channel being used by your router is changed. So if this is the case then reply and we'll explain the next steps.
If the wireless signal strength and link quality are above 50% then the printer queue can be added again. To ensure you have the latest driver for this model I suggest you download and install the [Canon v2.4.1 Printer Update|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899] from Apple. This will update the MP560 printer driver to v10.36.2.0.
With this update installed open Print & Fax and select to Add and select the Default icon. The MP560 scanner component should appear quickly, showing Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. If you don't have the scanner installed we can add this later. With the scanner showing wait a bit and the printer component should also appear, showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. Select this and the Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon MP560 series. Click Add when it does.
With the printer queue added you can open a document and try printing to the MP560. If it works then you can add the scanner. If it doesn't print and gives an error then please reply.

HELP! I am about th throw this iPhone out the window!

I have had to restore my iPhone TWICE now with tech support guidence. I've has nothing but TROUBLE since both the 3.0 AND the iTunes update, and am BEYOND frustrated!!! I won't even go into all of what else went wrong previously, but now my photos will NOT show up in iTunes to sync on to phone. I have troubleshooted by reading on here...I've tried everything. Before all this trouble I had done it so I know it's not just me. The folders show, but they say 0 pictures.
Again I'm SO SO SO frustrated. A phone I LOVED and was thrilled with has been nothing but pure frustration since the 17th. Everything I do on it is nothing but a hassle and 2 hours of MY minutes with Apple techs!!! I ahve to admit I am in tears right now.
I hope I get some replies (!!!!) and thanks in advance... why will my photos not show up? Just empty folders???

OMG OMG I am so embarrassed....they DID go to the folder as PPSP files. I'm so sorry! Thank you though for taking your time on me. I will go change them all and see if that works. If not I promise i'll come back here before tossing the phone out the window Again I'm sorry...but hey, if it weren't for you I never would have checked. I don't know why it saved them like that!

I'm about two seconds away from throwing my ipod out the window.

Alright, someone, please help me.
I've gone over the support pages a million times. I've read other discussions and still nothing is working.
My ipod isn't reading in itunes. Yes I know, try the 5 Rs. Nothing. I've restored the thing three times now and its still not reading. Well, correction, if I let it sit for a few hours and then try again, it'll read, but only to tell me that I need to restore my already empty, blank ipod again because somehow its still corrupted.
I've tried to change the drive letter. Nothing. I've reset different preferences and policies, still, my ipod's as blank as ever.
Help a sister out. Please.

I don't know how long either of you have had your iPod, but if it's less than a year, or if it's still under the Apple Care program, they'll either replace it, or fix it for free.
Seriously! I wouldn't bother with any of this, just take it into an Apple store and have them replace it.
My friend's son bought a Nano on eBay and it was defective after a month. Obviously, he didn't have a receipt from Apple or anything. We went down to the Apple store and they gave him a brand new one. It's worth a shot. Why give yourself a headache over all of this. Sounds like a lemon to me.

PLEASE help before I throw my iMac G4 out of the apartment window

Hello Apple Experts.
I hope that you can help me out here before I throw my iMac G4 out of the apartment window!!!!
I am having major problems with my wireless connection on my iMac G4(Uses original Airport Card).
When I installed 10.4 the connection was just very weak and not all the bars on the Airport icon were highlighted.
Also, on occasions the connection was totally lost and the iMac didn't even see the base unit (non apple) whilst it was switched on.
Now that I upgraded to 10.4.10 (using the PPC combi update), the Imac does not see or connect to the base unit at all.
As far as I know the card and antenna is conneted properly as I followed the Apple set up guide.
I know that the base station is fine as I have another mac in the house that connects with no issues....
I am wondering if there is a general issues with the iMac G4's connecting wirelessly with the Airport Card.
It seems there maybe three problems here.
1) There is an issues with the software update
2) There is a problem with the Airport Card (although it is brand new)
3) I need to configure someting to make it work!
Hope someone can help me here.
Thanks for your time.

I'm getting the same problem. Probably since 10.4.10 but I can't be sure. I am have just been perplexed at why my other machines are working OK and my iMac G4 17" 1Ghz is having network problems. It has the original Aiport Extreme Card inside. I was Googling and saw a suggestion to delete all your "Network Locations" then start fresh. I've just tried that and I'm running a ping for a while to see how its performing. I think its improved but the signal read only 2 bars still when my MacBook Pro right next to it read 100%.
Somebody must know something?

PLEASE someone help me before i throw this thing out the win

edit - whew. good thing nobody saw this post. it was mean. i figured it out.. finally :\
now i just gotta figure out how to get the tracks in order!! any ideas?
Message Edited by no-sweat on 02-08-2005 07:48 AM

You could try using simple software like Tag and Rename, very usefull to sort out the tags, Creative Zens micros and Touch's all need the tracks to be proporly tagged, Album, Track, and if you do a whole album and want the tracks in the same order as they are in the album you will have to edit the title so it has a number 0, 02 ect infront of every song, easidly done with good tagging software.

Help before I throw this printer out of the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just purchased a Deskjet 2540 all in one printer - I will only ever need to print boarding passes etc. -
this looked so good on Amazon ideal for my iPad and said how easy to set up!!! In my dreams - I have now spent 10 hours
Trying to set this up and last night was close to cracking:-
I am setting this by wirless. I have the password and the printer showing on my iPad.
Each time I try and load the softwear I am told an unexpected error has occurred please try again later - I
Have tried and tried to no avail. Apple staff have said I do not need this softwear????????
The network test results say:-
1 check the printer network name ssid matches your wireless router network name ssid exactly!!!!!
2 if they do not match exactly, run the wireless setup from the printer software to configure your hp printer!!!!!
But no where can I find how to do this and sorry I really do not understand what this means.
Reading Amazon some people have set up in 15 min!!!!
The cost of bringing in an expert to set this up is worth more than the printer cost!!!!!!
Thanks for reading feel better letting of steam will defiantly be a 0 from me for the feed back to Amazon

Hello SueJon,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I hope this reply finds you with the printer not thrown out of the Window. Regarding the Deskjet 2540 setup to work with the iPad, I would like to help.
There are two ways that you can print from the iPad to the 2540. The first, Wireless Direct. Wireless Direct is a network that the printer broadcasts and the iPad would connect to it. This method will leave the iPad with no other network access while connected.
Second, and more functional, is having the printer connected to the same network that the iPad is connected too.
In order to setup this connection, follow the steps outlined below;
Turn Wireless Direct on from the front panel button on the printer. (number 4).
Connect the iPad to the printer network, Settings> Network> HP-Print-2540.
Open Safari and type this I.P address into the address bar, 192.168.223.1 and hit Enter.
Go to Network or Wireless and then Wireless Setup Wizard.
Select your network and enter the needed information.
Once connected, the Wireless light should be solid, connect the iPad back to your network. To print, open a document, hit the Share button (), and if an option to print is available you will be able to select the print option.
I hope you find this information helpful.
