Please help:Midipipe no longer works after Garageband/iMac upgrades

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help. I use my Yamaha Dtxplorer electronic drums to record drums on my iMac's Garageband program. I use a program called "midipipe" to assign the correct midi drum pad sounds before the signal goes into Garageband, and then I use the "EZdrummer" plug-in to get more realistic drums sounds. Here's the problem. In June 2011, I upgraded my iMac to "Snow Leopard" (Mac OS 10.6.7), and at the same time, I upgraded Garageband to Garageband '11 (ie Garageband 2011). Now that I did those 2 upgrades, I can no longer get midipipe to work in any way. There are NO drums sounds coming out through midipipe now, and when trying to tweak the settings, there is no longer any way to click the "hijack" checkbox on the midipipe "midi in" setting. The "hijack" button is now "greyed-out" and cannot be selected. Now I can no longer use my drums with Garageband, which is really, really disheartening. It seems like all I run into with my iMac and Garageband is nothing but problems and glitches that are making me considering recording my music on a Windows computer, and ditching my iMac altogether. I've already tried repeatedly to create new "pipes" with midipipe, but nothing will work since I cannot select the "hijack" button anymore. This problem occurred only after the Garageband and iMac upgrades, and midipipe used to work PERFECTLY with garageband and ezdrummer before. Nothing else in my set-up has changed. 
If anyone has ANY possible solutions, please help. I've wasted so much time with this computer already. All I want is for it to work properly. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi JMX. No, I've had no luck trying to figure out the problem, which started ever since I upgraded my iMac and upgraded Garbageband. No replies except yours, and I googled a bunch of web pages trying to find an answer. The guy who programmed the Midipipe program didn't reply either. I'm thinking about getting a Windows computer to record music, along with Protools. Have horrible luck with Garageband since the day I bought my iMac, unfortunately. Nothing but glitches and problems.
But I wish you (and anyone else running into the same problem) the best of luck. I just don't have the patience for the contstant obstacles when trying to use an Apple Mac to record songs.

  • All help menus no longer work after installing Mavericks

    After installing Mavericks on my iMac all help menus no longer work. You still get the drop down box which contains the search window and other choices, but if you try clicking on them the screen just flashes or you might get a box that says " safari help is not available". It does this system wide, doesn't matter what application your in. My internet works fine but for some reason in Mavericks the help menus are not accessing this information. Anyone else have this problem? Or an answer?
    Thank you!

    Finally, a quick restart of the mac and all help menus are working again.

  • HP OMEN Control Software No Longer Works After Windows 10 Upgrade

    HP OMEN Control no longer works after the recent Windows 10 update. Profile switching, keyboard LED colors, zones, fn key options, etc. no longer respond at all. I've found references to this issue during Windows 10 beta testing. Is there a temporary workaround? Will there be a driver update to remedy this problem? Thanks.

    I just purchased a new 2015 refurbished PC.  It worked great with Windows 8.1.   Upon installing Windows 10, The Omen control did not work as well as the fan.  Really - hardware failure.  Give us a break.  So, I went back to Windows 8.1. Also this year, I purchased an Envy X2.  This PC included a bluetooth keyboard that kept detatching.  Again - REALLY, the keyboard doesn't work.  That's a pretty important part of the PC.  I searched the forum for answers and all I found was the same old line that HP was working on it.  I found meesages over a year old that had this same  problem. So, back it went to Best Buy.  I used to really like HP computers, but now, I can't say that anymore. So, do I trust HP to fix this in a timely manner, NO.  Why - because they had to know about this issue alrady for quite a while.  And, they did not fix it.  I really hope they prove me wrong.!! I will give them 1 more week to fix it.  After that, the PC will be returned.  And HP PCs will be off my scratched off my list, except maybe the HP Spectre X360.  To my amazement, I am even considering a MacBook Pro.  Funny thing - the Spectre X360 is supposed to be a great laptop,  But, Microsoft was heavily involved in the design process.  That is certainly not an HP confidence buider. HP - THIS IS YOUR TIME TO "STEP UP TO THE PLATE" and fix this mess.  TImes like these are opportuniies to win over customers or loose customers to the competiion.  I really want to keep this PC.  It is by your response to this problem that will determine the outcome.

  • Please help: Application doesn't work after upgrade to Workshop 8 sp2 from sp1

    Hi,
    Our application worked on workshop 8 sp1. After we upgrade system from sp1 to
    sp2, some of the part doesn't work propertly any more.
    1. netui:select seems not bind form data propertly. For drop down list box in
    forms, although user has chosen something from the drop down list box, the returned
    value in the form is always null.
    2. we use Java script window.open(url,...) to download and view files. After upgrade
    from sp1 to sp2, clients keep getting IE error complaining that "Internet Explore
    can not open this Internet site. The request site is either unavailable or can
    not be found. Please try again later", although the server and the files are all
    in local host server.
    Please help. Thanks

    Did you update your workshop application files and recompile your application?
    A few things changed between GA and sp2, some annotations were renamed, and some
    were added.
    If you open up your application in Workshop sp2, it should given you the option
    to upgrade your application.
    Failing that, you may need to go through the code that is not performing as it
    was before and check whether it was not utilising a bug that was fixed in sp2
    and thus causes it to not function correctly now.

    I wasn't getting this far (/tftpboot line) until I turned on the firewall to allow port 69 traffic but it seems that the service hangs when the client machine is supposed recevie the payload of the diskimage.
    I don't know how a perfect netboot service goes to $h*t after a clean install with no configuration changed. I've verfied that nothing with our dhcp service nor dns has been changed and also verified that the server name has been added to the ip_helper.
    Any help is greatly apperciated.

    My experiences with netboot on snow leopard server and a few other observations: Point 1 - Never have wireless on whether it be client or server when trying to netboot client. Point 2 - Must use standard mtu setting -1500- on server under prefs. ethernet advanced, doesn't seem to matter on client -I use 7936 for 600TL Readynas on clients only-. Point 3 - It seems that if you ever use wireless on the server it messes it up for good -Took about 8 installs to learn this the hard way-. Point 4 - It seems when logging into workgroup manager with default popup of machine name.local and default user name messes server up if you have a domain name, example of how it should be is: machine name.domain name.com, org, etc. Then username would be diradmin, then password ***** so that settings will hold if you go in to change anything. Many days were spent by a friend and myself learning these few things pertaining to my machine and may help others with weird problems on snow leopard server. If anyone here knows why this is, please post, although my machine is working properly, I am curious. Thank You. By the way, I am using all the latest updates except itunes 10.

  • EM dbconsole no longer works after RHEL 4 upgrade

    I'd been running oracle 10.1.0.3.0 and the EM dbconsole on rhel 3 WS/x86_64. After upgrading to rhel 4 WS (with non-redhat kernel 2.6.13-rc6), the database runs fine but dbconsole doesn't work. 'emctl start dbconsole' takes a long time to run. Connections to port 5500 time out; both emagent and the java httpd process are running though they tend to die after 30 minutes or so.

  • Mail App no longer working after 2.0 upgrade

    I upgraded to 2.0 on my IPhone Edge and now my mail application no longer works AT ALL. If I try to open it, it simply shows me a blank mail screen, waits for a few seconds and then returns to the home screen. Strangely enough, I have been able to send email photos using the camera application.
    Email is the most important application for me on the iPhone! Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a fix available?

    I recently stopped by the apple store and have fixed my mail app! The problem as described to me was caused by a installing apps. Turns out that apps can mess with Mail setting in some way and perhaps due to a bad setting or a bad combination of settings my mail application stopped working. The way I fixed it was to do a restore to New Iphone which, unfortunately, wipes everything! But after syncing back up including re-installing all of my apps, mail works again! Of course, I lost all of my notes, various settings, and lots of other stuff. Turns out that a simple restore, since it backs up your phone beforehand (backing up bad settings at the same time) is not the silver bullet but a full restore to new iphone probably often is. Hope this helps others.

  • Keyboard, IR, Trackpad no longer work after 2.1 upgrade

    Installed the BootCamp 2.1 upgrade and after the reboot, the keyboard, trackpad and IR receiver no longer work.
    Windows recognizes the hardware (Found New Hardware) but during driver install, the dialog box pops up to say that Windows couldn't install the driver (Fatal error during installation).

    I also just made the mistake of installing 2.1 and am having the same problems. The built-in keyboard and trackpad don't work, and my external keyboard doesn't work either. An external mouse works, but that's all.

  • Client proxies no longer work after R/3 upgrade to ECC5.0

    Hi,
    After the above upgrade where WAS of the R/3 systems went from 620 to 640 client side proxies no longer work.
    To be able to use client proxies in 620 we had to use a plugin. But in 640 this should be native functionality, so no more plugin for this.
    The error seems to lie in the connection from R/3 to XI. If I test the RFC connection that is defined in SXMB_ADM on R/3 I get the following error:
    HTTPIO_PLG_ICM_CONNECT_FAILED-Fehlermeldung beim S
    Message no. SR000
    The IFR address is correctly defined.
    The SPROX_CHECK_HTTP_COMMUNICATION test in sproxy-connection tests gives the following detailed info:
    When calling the method
    CL_HTTP_SERVER=>GET_EXTENSION_INFO
    the exception
    NO_HTTP_PING_SERVICE_FOUND
    was triggered.
    Does anyobe know how his can be solved?
    Thanks
    Tom

    HI,
    I think some problem with http destinations
    Is your R3 system is configured as a Application system ?
    Go to SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine Configuration->Check role of business system etc. and corresponding Integrtaion server

  • DVR Search Option No Longer Works - After The Crap Upgrade

    The new software upgrade is crap. DVR search option no longer works. I can't use the search option to find my favorite programs and set the DVR to record them. It only lets me put the first letter in the search field and then nothing. I can't enter any more letters aftet that.
    Verizon sent me another DVR but it has same issues. They sent a technician to my house and he basically told me, the upgrade is crap and lots of people are having technical issues.
    He gave me another box and said it is working. Now I have three DVRs sitting in my house and I have to return two. After he left I tried to search and I have the same exact issue so basically he just lied and didn't fix anything.
    I called tech support over and over, and they just told me that they can't do anything. They basicaly admitted that the upgrade is crap and the are clueless on how to fix it. So I'm stock with 3 DVRs that don't work. Billing department told me they can't give me any discounts either.
    Anyone else is having these issues?

    Same issue here.  Sent me another box, same model as the old one.  Same exact issues.  Called Tech support back, they admitted it was a known issue, and nothing he could do about it.  Was told I had to talk to someone in SALES to get them to send me a newer box.
    New box is here, and now i have no option to record.  Oh, and last time I called tech support... I got 'disconnected' (after being on hold for 30+ minutes).  They are really dropping the ball, and I will not be renewing.

  • Isight no longer works after snow leopard upgrade

    my isight no longer is available directly after snow leopard upgrade on my macbook black. Anyone else with the same problem? The isight does not show up in 'about this mac' under USB and I tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

    Hi,
    In Leopard there was an App called iSight Update app that was in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services
    This does not seem to be there in Snow Leopard.
    An issue with some computers with the camera was that in System Preferences > Displays the Colours needed to be set to Millions.
    Also check the Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions folder and see that you have the Apple_iSight.kext (this is likely to handle the Internal iSights as well).
    One last thing.
    Some Web sites can make use of the camera using Flash.
    If that tab is still open the Browser may have use of the camera.
    It sounds like you have done computer restarts and this will not be the case unless the browser is set to go back to that page.
