Please help...  GiO not working properly with Mainstage.  GiO lights errors, and Gio Disconnected errors.

I have a gig ion 11/22, and I am DESPERATE TO FIX THIS....
Mainstage 3
Brand new Macbook air
Brand new Apogee Gio
I've tried multiple reloads of the software
2 macbook air 13"
and 6 GiOs.
These things aren't talking to each other.
I bought the laptop SOLELY to run mainstage.  No other garbage is cluttering the box.
I have 1 concert file, with 50 songs (Patches)
Each patch has a few pedals configured on the layout screen, which are linked to the Pedalboard in Mainstage for various effects
AT MOST, I have 1-2 channel strips PER PATCH...  Nothing seriously tasking on the CPU.
THe CPU meter shows <20% capacity, always.  Usually <10%
A few of the patches have a channel strip with a 3 second .wav file (audio channel strip)  NOTHING HUGE AT ALL.
Problems scenarios:
1.  MAINSTAGE FREEZES ON LOAD = 3% of the time....  
Mainstage freezes at starup..  Jams on the "loading MIDI" message.  happens 3% of the time.
2. MAINSTAGE reports "GiO has been disconnected" = 100% of the time...  
I can sometimes play for 1 hour, no issues.... then all of the sudden, I hit a Gio Button, and i get the "Gio has been disconnected" message. I cannot play a gig, without this failing...    I have to REBOOT mainstage to get the stuff talking again, sometimes I have to RESET the Gio too (by holding a button and pulling/attaching the USB)  Sometimes Mainstage reconnects itself to Gio, most times I have to reboot everything.
3.  GiO LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING. = 80% of the time.
Sometimes while I'm playing, the lights on the Gio fail to cycle when I press the buttons...  The lights on the MAINSTAGE screen layout behaive correctly, and the audio output is modified correctly when the buttons are pushed.... but the Gio foot switch lights fail to cycle.  For a particular song/patch, sometimes they work, other times they wont.
I've had Apogee tech support working on this to no avail.
They told me to unplug other usb devices.
Try new cables.
Increase the buffer size to 256 from 128 (which i did, but the latency/delay is unacceptable, and the problem still persisted anyway.)

Super,
I have a new Macbook Pro with Retina and an Apogee Gio and use Mainstage 3 under Mavericks (OS X 10.9.1).  I am experiencing similar problems to yours so I do not believe it is a problem with your particular machine or set up.  I have been using Mainstage and the Gio for a few years under Snow Leopard and Mainstage 2 without these particular issues.
I am having the same hang on 'waiting for midi' at startup when the Gio is plugged into the USB port.   This seems to be occurring more and more.  I tried both ports on the Macbook Pro and it occurs on both of them sporadically.  I would say maybe 10% of the time.   I have discovered if you unplug the Gio usb cable at this point and plug it back in it will allow sometimes allow Mainstage to finish booting up. 
The Gio is disconnected message I only had one time.  Only appeared the very first time I was using it on my new system.  I believe this was under Mavericks 10.9 (not 10.9.1).  I haven't been getting that message since.
The Lights on the Gio hardware unit and Mainstage do not appear to be working properly here as well.  They seem to work properly for a while but then they lose sync with the templates.  I initially thought this might be caused by my particular custom template.   I tested today using the stock Gio Mainstage template from Apogee and the lights begin to lose sync on the Gio.  Buttons mapped to various pedals or amp settings on the Gio will sometimes stay on when they are supposed to go off or visa versa.  Using the looping functions the various foot pedal buttons sometimes display incorrectly (on when they are supposed to be off). 
I believe the problems are  with Apogee's Gio driver or a software issue with Mavericks.
I have filled out a feedback form to report this to Apple.  I would recommend you do this as well so they know it is an issue.  http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I would also contact Apogee and see if they have an updated driver coming soon or if they have any other recommendations.
If you resolve this issue or hear anything, please post.  Thanks.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP

    My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
    I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

    If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    Here is again the short version:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > GO    hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
    In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
    Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
    The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.

  • Remote not working properly with Apple TV...sporadic fuctioning

    Hello,
    I have no idea what caused this to happen, but both my remotes (I have one from my MacBook Pro and one from my AppleTV) seem to not work properly with AppleTV. It sometimes works but it is extremely frustrating as it only registers about 1 out of every 10-20 clicks then continues to remember the previous clicks therefore making it essentially impossible to select the desired menu/item. Basically it just seems like it's out of control!
    I tested whether it was the remote or AppleTV that was causing the problem by running Front Row on my MacBook Pro and both remotes seem to navigate Front Row perfectly fine. They both act the same way with AppleTV, whether they are paired or not. It seems as though something happened with my AppleTV. This problem occurred randomly, with no specific cause I can think of.
    Please let me know if any of you have ever experienced this problem and what your solution was, if any!
    I have tried restoring to factory conditions, resetting settings, ran diagnostics, unplugged and replugged it, and nothing seems to be working!
    Oh, and I just replaced the battery on one and have tried swapping batteries, etc.
    HELP PLEASE!
    Thank you,
    Travis

    The menus have never been as responsive as they used to since the 2.0 update in my opinion - basically AppleTV seems to cache/buffer remote click if it is busy or perhaps waiting for something to stream from itunes, and when resources become available it suddenly executes all command rapidly which makes it behave wildly in menus.
    Usually happens I find after restarting the unit or if streaming drives have gone in to power saving modes and there's a delay while they wake up to feed the AppleTV.

  • HP computer will not work properly with an HP printer

    I have the following two items that I am trying to use together:
     - HP 23" TouchSmart Desktop, T6500 2.1GHz 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD (Windows 7)
     - HP OfficeJet 6500 Multi-Function Printer/Scanner/Fax
    When I try to scan to Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0, the document goes through the scanner, however the dialog box that I would expect (e.g. "Next Page" or "Done") never shows up.  At this point, the system is unresponsive with respect to Adobe or the printer.
    I suspect that it is waiting for the input from the dialog box that never showed up.  I tried to move the other windows to see if the dialog opened in the background, however I am not able to select any of them (they remain frozen).
    I contacted HP Support, only to have them tell me it must be the driver, and I have an "old" printer.  (I did not realize that a 9 month old printer was considered "old").  I have tried all of the possible drivers that are available (original disk, downloads, other downloads from HP tech support), none of these resolves the problem.
    In any case, they were unable to resolve the problem of having an HP computer work properly with an HP printer.  (The printing function seems to work, just very slowly).
    Has anyone else heard of this?  Is there a resolution?

    Update: I am still looking for a solution to this problem - the scanning portion of the Multi-function OfficeJet 6500 does not work properly with the HP TouchSmart computer.
    I have not been able to find anyone in HP that can tell me when (or if) new drivers will be released for this printer.
    I decided to investigate upgrading to a newer version of printer since HP told me the 9 month old printer I have was "obsolete", only to find that the identical printer is still on sale in many stores.  Hmmm....
    I feel like I am getting the run-around from HP.
    I have since tried several more driver/software combinations, but every time I have the same problem (as described in the previous post).
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be most happy to hear them.
    Thank you.

  • Old Netscape console 4.2 not working properly with new Directory Server 5.2

    After successfully installing Messaging Server 5.2 and applying patch 2, the old Netscape Console doesn't work properly, I tried running the script which is given in the link
    http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6734-10/index.html
    which hobbles the server by creating a set of dummy jar files in order for the directory server console not making any changes on the messaging server. At first I got these messages:
    Failed to install a local copy of msgadmin52.jar or one of its supporting files: not a ZIP file (END header not found)
    I got the same message for these 2 files:
    admserv42.jar
    msgadmin52.jar
    After that I made real dummy jar files using a zero-length file I created with touch and I got these messages:
    class com.netscape.management.admser.AdminServer not found
    After that I erased all the files created by the script and I get these messages:
    failed to install a copy of admserv51.jar or one of its supporting files: null
    failed to install a copy of msgadmin.jar or one of its supporting files: msgadmin52.jar not found at http://192.168.10.205:5001/
    and for admserv42.jar I get the same message
    Does anyone have a clue on what to do next??
    thanks in advance
    Eduardo

    The thing is that the netscape console 4.5 won't work properly with messaging server 5.2, and the directory server console is not working properly for the directory server. I already know the limitations about these consoles since it is explained in the doc where the procedure of migrating from a 4.x directory server to 5.1. I

  • FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

    FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow and never finishes loading ANY page.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!, How come my dvd studio pro 3 is not working properly with leopard? Need help!

    I recently installed os leopard on my power MAC G5 and my DVD studio pro 3 application is not working properly as it used to be. I was unable to create motion menu and build the dvd properly. Then I deleted and reinstall dvd studio pro 3, but it did not solve the problems. What should I do?

    I have a sneaking suspicion it won't work in 10.5.x, possibly because of the version of Quicktime...
    System Requirements:
    Mac OS X v10.3.2
    733 MHz or faster PowerPC processor (G4 minimum) and AGP graphics card
    256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)
    20 GB available disk space
    8 MB of video memory (32 MB recommended)
    QuickTime 6.5
    DVD drive required for installation
    I think your going to need a dual boot Mac with 10.4.x on another drive or partition.
