Pro Tools, Garageband, MIDI Problem

I just got an MBOX Pro 2 and Pro Tools 7.3.1. That stuff works, but I guess it doesn't like Garageband and my Audio MIDI setup. When I went to open up Garageband I keep getting this
"Garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or Audio Drivers.
Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers consult the manufacturer's documentation"
When I try to open the Audio MIDI setup app, it says this:
"Audio MIDI Setup was unable to launch the MIDI Server. This means that you will be unable to view or edit your MIDI configurations.
Improperly written MIDI drivers can prevent the MIDI Server from launching successfully. If you have recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then relaunching Audio MIDI Setup. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, then please contact the driver's manufacturer for further support."
The pro tools and software are brand new.

Try doing a search for 'eMagic'. I've been told that this can cause MIDI conflict in Macs. I had the same problem myself and was advised to look for an 'eMagic' MIDI plug-in. Try moving it to the trash and see if it solves your problem.

IMac will not run Pro Tools 9 - Some will not run CS5.5 Production Premium and some will?

So i have 6 imacs in my computer lab at this time - I recently created a new image for all of our lab computers using snow leopard OS, Pro Tools 9.0, and Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium - this image works fine on our MacPro's and Pro Tools has no problems opening or CS5.5, but when I imaged the same image onto the imacs - CS5.5 only works on two of the machines and Pro Tools 9.0 will not open on any imac ( i keep getting the message "Can not find playback device: I thought you didnt need one for Pro Tools 9?) and i cant figure out why. The imacs that have problems with CS5.5 and Pro Tools are the 20" early 2006 versions, and the imacs that run CS5.5 but not Pro Tools are 20" late 2006 versions. Are they just too old? Why would it let me image on the late 2006 version of imac but not the early 2006? Do i need to create an image on the imac itself and then farm it out to the others?
Thanks for your comments,
Kyle

I know this is a very late answer for you, but it may help others out.
Try holding down the "N" key on your keyboard while loading the Pro Tools application.
This will eventually open up a dialog box with a drop down menu for selecting your interface.
In the case where you're not using an interface (like the lab), within this dialog box, just select Built-in Output and plug in your headphones in the back of the iMac.
I'm running several rooms with iMacs and PTLE 9.0.6 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and this is the only hiccup I've run into. Hopefully, holding down the "N" key works for you.

Audio MIDI setup problems?? --- Pro Tools

I just got my Roland Juno-G back from service so I am going to try this question again. I get no sound when I hit playback on my Pro Tools but I can see the information playing back on the level indicators for the tracks.
- - I am connecting my imac to my synth with a UM-ONE. I think I have the MIDI studio set up correctly but here is what happens when I do the Test Setup: When I click on the output arrow UM-ONE icon in the MIDI Studio I get no response from the corresponding UM-ONE icon at the other end of the line.
ALSO, on the computer (10.9.1), in my system preferences>sound>Output, when I clck on Pro Tools Aggregate I/O (Aggregate Device) -- the message "The selected device has no output controls." appears.
I am missing something???? Anyone that can help or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Did you set "Properties For" to the correct output device?

Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1

Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1.
My garage band & reason software don´t open anymore giving me a error messasge regarding the midi drivers in the operating system.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Paolo

Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

Driver clash between Garageband and Pro Tools

I recently installed Pro Tools 7.3 LE on my Macbook to assist me in my aspirations to become a rock n roll superstar. I'm a DJ as well and have been using Garageband for my programs. But after installing Pro Tools everytime I open Garageband gives me this warning:
+Garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers.+
+Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.+
After clicking "Ok" a couple of times I get this warning:
+Mac OS X MIDI Services not available.+
What do I do? Is there some kind of driver I should (un)install?

I've had this issue ever since I upgraded to Leopard. I was running Pro Tools LE .3 and Garageband '08, but Garageband just wouldn't cooperate and give me the third-party driver conflict error. I dug through all my library folders with anything connected to third party MIDI driver (Line 6, M-Audio, intentionally shying away from PT hoping I could salvage it )and deleted it, and still no luck. Eventually I punted and uninstalled Pro Tools, and bada-boom, the error is gone and Garageband runs fine.
I'm pretty sure now that Digidesign is in conflict with Leopard and GB 08, but they're not coming clean about it yet:

I hope this helps

Why won't garageband open after installing pro tools?

I have recently installed pro tools 8.0 which worked at first and now will not at all. Also garageband will not open either, it opens when I change users but I cannot access my files this way.
I have read all the other threads on deleting various things from the LIBRARY> Audio>Plug ins folders but had no luck at all.
Someone else must have had this problem that can help, please!

What is your Mac OS X version? If you are using Mac OS X 10.7.x, you may have a problem with the Audio Drivers that may need updating, see: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=307155
Also, have you updated pro tools to the latest version?

Having a problem with Pro Tools and Quiktime may be the cause. Need advice.

I recently installed Pro Tools recording software on my Mac and everytime I try and open the program I get a kernel panic "restart" screen. I have been told that it may have something to with my Quiktime version.
I am running
OSX version 10.4.7
Pro Tools version 7.1
and Quiktime version 7.0.4
Could this be my problem? thanks

A fax file is simply a TIFF file. If you converted it to a PDF (you did not give any info on your workflow), then you have a graphic. The conversion to Excel will also be a bunch of graphics I guess. You would need to run OCR first. Even then you may not get the column information and may have to copy column by column using alt key when selecting the text. That allows you go copy a column.

Duo Displays Problem on MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Resolution 2560x1440 and 1280x800, Sometime 2560x1440 is blank screen and must restart to fixed it

Dear all,
I found some problems for using Duo Displays with MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) display and Samsung UHD Display (U28D590). I use resolution on my macbook is 1280x800, Samsung UHD Display is 2560x1440 And Connect with Display port to mini display port.
But I use sometime found always blank screen on Samsung Display and I tried to unplug mini display port and plug it again but it is not working until I shutdown and restart my macbook pro, my display back to working.
I want to fix this problem because it is very trouble for my working a lot.
Thank you very much
Phot

The symptoms I'm getting now, and I'm not sure if they're any different, suggest that for some reason Mountain Lion thinks my display resolution is higher than what it is, as wether I'm turning AirPlay on or off, it keeps changing it (on the MacBook) to what looks like maybe 1080p.

Logic Pro 9 Midi Problems Multiple Devices

Hello, im having issues with using multiple external devices in Logic Pro 9. I have a virus TI 2 and a prophet hooked up to a Saffire Pro 40 audio card which I am using the Midi Hub.
Basically, If I have an external instrument (prophet) playing on a track I have to turn the virus off or else there is midi problems communicating with the prophet 08.
The Biggest issue i'm having here is that when the midi data in the external instrument track is playing, if I'm selected on the track while its playing, I get an extreme cluster #$)* of midi on the midi input display and it completely and utterly destroys what the prophet is trying to play into logic.
In my Midi setup on Mac Snow Leopard, I have the ins and outs of the prophet going to the saffire pro 40. The virus is connected and playing midi via USB.
Anyone know how I should be setting this up so the midi information is not getting messed up? Yes, I have consulted the user manuals.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Audio sync problem: exporting from FCP to Pro tools or soundtrack pro

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Cut Pro sound export for mastering.....sync problem
Hey,
I'm editing a 30 minute film and I have done most of the sound edit in FCP and Soundtrack pro and I want to now bring all the sound into pro tools to master the sound but every time i export sound into pro tools it seems to stretch by two or three seconds.
I have tried OMF, AIFF, XML, and Quicktime audio file sut to no avail!!!!
There are 50 tracks in the file so it is quiet large. It's not that there are handles of the file also as when I sync the file with the audio track with the video it syncs in one place but it is still out of sync in another.........It's as if the audio has been stretched!?!
If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated
Keith

Try mixing down the audio first. Sequence/Render Only/Audio mixdown.
You could even try exporting the audio with the Export QT movie command using "current settings" and reimport that file, Add that mixed down file to a copy of the sequence. If it syncs in FCP I'd think it will sync on export too.

Problems after efi 2.5 update on macbook pro 13 inch(mid 2010)

i don't know if it's related but after i updated my macbook pro 13 inch mid 2010 efi firmware to 2.5 i'm having usb problems.
the problem started after i went to software updates and downloaded efi firmware 2.5, but i didn't restarted right away actually i downloaded the efi firmware around 3pm and shut down my computer around 1am, and in the morning when i turned on my mac it made a strange noise and then restarted. then when it restarted my usb external hd wasn't working well, it takes around 10 minutes for me to be able to watch a video directly from it, and my 3g usb connects but the speed is really slow, so i cant use it. i don't know if efi firmware update is related to usb, but somehow it made my usb ports stoped working properly.
so is there a fix for this?

What you should do is time consuming but really helps (it helped for me)
Go to your disk utility setup and select your harddisk drive, then click on verify disk permissions and after that repair disk permissions, don't ask me why it runs in this order but it seems to elliminate the cause. you will most probably see some repairs being listed.
the next step is to "repair disk" procedure, allthough it could be possible that it can not and then it will tell you to use your setup disk that came with the computer, insert disk hold command and "R" at same time and you come into the menu to repair or re istal software etc.
I ran the repair mode, then re installed my operating software and it seem to resolve this issue but also the long start up problems.
good luck

You can have Apple replace the logic board, but it will be at your expense. The free replacement program has ended.
