Problems Downloading Guitar Tabs

I have been trying to download guitar tab files (.gp3, .gp4, etc.) from GuitarProtabs.  Each time I attempt to download, it shows a navigates to a Safari screen with assorted mixed up letters/numbers (it's attempting to read the file instead of downloading it).  I tried the same thing on my iPad and it works fine (downloads the file through Dropbox).  Any suggestions?

I have received no help from GuitarProTabs.org or anywhere else, so I thought I'd repost this question.  Here's the whole situation:
- I own Guitar Pro 6
- I'd like to download guitar tabs from GuitarProTabs.org to use in Guitar Pro 6, but Safari doesn't download it as a file (GPX, GP4, GP5, etc.).  Instead it views it as an unusable webpage.  When I try to save it (download), it saves it as a webarchive. This is of no help.
- The odd thing is that if I use my iPad, it asks me if I want to view the file in DropBox or the iPad version of Guitar Pro.  So, I save it in DropBox and can retrieve it from my MAC.  While this is a work-around, it doesn't allow me to screen the files without a time-consuming effort.
Anyway... am I missing something in Safari that should allow me to download the file?
Thanks

  • Problem with downloading Guitar Lesson 5

    Hi!
    I have problems with downloading Guitar Lesson #5. I was able to successfully able to download all other lessons, but when I try to downloadat Lesson #5, this error constantly occurs:
    "GarageBand was not able to complete download."
    I'm curious about how to download this lesson. Thank you for your help.
    Anyway, I'm using iLife '09.
    Thank you for your answer(s).

    I had problems downloading John Legend's piano lesson. It downloaded but quit while installing. And then it tried reinstallling after each bootup of Garageband. I finally found the location where Garageband wants to install these files: root>Library>Application Support>Garageband>Learn to Play>Artist Lessons. I deleted that last directory. After restarting the lessons finally installed. It seems as though Garageband created this folder again as I had expected and the .mwand file with the lesson got installed. Now everything works fine. Hope this helps you too as nobody at Apple (after sales) seemed to know how to help me.

  • X-FI Xtreme Audio (OEM) problems with Guitar Po

    Hey all, I just upgraded from a SB Li've 5. Sound card to an X-FI Xtreme Audio Card and am now having problems with guitar port. There seems to be a delay or lag time from playing to actually hearing the sound. It sounds like its about half a second or so which makes it really annoying for trying to play. Is there a remedy for this or is there something wrong with the card/drivers?Also, is Line in and Mic levels no longer in the windows volume?playback control?

    You should be able to control I/Os through Windows mixer(s) and Creative Control Panel (comes with the driver package). If you like to install those software intend for X-Fi you need to download the CD image from BadBoys site (if he still has the site up an running). You get those mixers showing up either through panel which pops up when you enter mmsys.cpl in start->run... prompt (Audio tab, Volume buttons). Individual mixer panels can be called with commands sndvol32 (play) and sndvol32 /r (recording). The lag you have there is normally called as latency. You get rid of it by using ASIO driver mode with 2 - 0ms latency settings. You can set the latency through ASIO controlpanel. If the guitarport has an ASIO driver it's own, use it's control panel or try with asio4all driver (http://www.asio4all.com).jutapaMessage Edited by jutapa on 0-9-20080:0 PM
    Is this a standalone driver? Or is it something used in addition to an existing sound driver? I'm having a similar problem with my mic, there is a delay (and it has to be turned up really loud to be heard, although that may be a different problem) and I'm looking for a solution.

  • Putting guitar tabs on iPod

    Would like to know how to add guitar tab to my ipod. With my old 4th gen ipod I tried just putting the text file onto the ipod, but the tab lines and numbers didn't add up and couldn't be used when read from the ipod.
    I would like to know how to make the tab look the same as on a webpage, but on my ipod.
    Thanks

    If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    iPod - Syncing Music
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD or an external drive:
    How to back up your media in iTunes
    Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
    If you have already gone ahead and deleted content from iTunes without setting the iPod to manual first you can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Problems downloading photos from iPhoto to iPod 5G classic

    Until recently I had no problems downloading my photo library to my iPod (~250 photos). However, the last couple of groups of photos I've gotten I cannot transfer. I get an error message that reads "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." My last 3 rolls do not transfer to the iPod, although all the other photos do as well as all songs, movies, calendars, etc. Everything else is OK just the last 3 photo rolls. 2 of the 3 problem rolls were gathered from emails, but so were others that load fine. The last roll was downloaded from the BART website and will not transfer.
    Anybody know what's up with this?

    Thanks again TD
    I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
    Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
    I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
    My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
    I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
    (As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
    I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
    Thoughts welcome.

  • How do I find my downloaded guitar lessons?

    I recently downloaded some video guitar lessons that I had purchased from a website using firefox as my browser. Don't know what version it is but it was updated very recently. The computer i used is a toshiba satellite C655 with windows 7. The problem is that I cannot find the these particular downloads anywhere on this piece of crap they call a computer. Should have bought a Mac but that's another story. There is no sign of anything related on the desktop, I have looked in all of the files in the windows explorer libraries, every file in the users folder including the downloads file. There is no sign of them being in windows media player or in itunes.  Nothing. I tried downloading them again and still nothing.
    I have bought and downloaded guitar lessons from the same website before with no problems. I have considered the possibility of the problem being with the website but I have downloaded the same lessons to my iMac successfully. The reason for downloading to the toshiba satellite is because my iMac is outdated and the videos are choppy.

    They are probably on another screen. Swipe with your finger to go to another screen. The line of gray dots above the bottom row of apps show the number of screens. If you have OS 3.0, you can search for them by name.
    Go to Settings -> General -> About to see your phone's OS version.

  • Problem downloading pictures

    I have moved pictures from my phone to Windows Live Photo Gallery many times.  Today I tried on both phones (mine and my husband's) and did not get the pictures--just iconic preloads.   The screen "says" it has downloaded the pictures, gives the number in each group but they are not there.  What happened?  Thank you for any help. Jo

    Your topic is saying one thing - +"Problem downloading pictures"+ yet your post is saying something different - +"it just won't show any pictures."+
    Which is it? Nevermind. You can't download what you can't see.
    Sounds more like a browser issue rather than an OS. Check your browsers mapping settings to see which browser plugins are selected to open photos.
    Check the Content tab also. Make sure *Load images automatically* is selected. I do not use Safari or Camino. Unsure if they have this setting but it's worth a check.

    You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

  • Problem downloading Mountain Lion from App Store

    I am unable to download Mountain Lion onto my iMac from the App Store. I have no problem downloading other software - including updates to Final Cut Pro X and several other programs. However, if I try to download Mountain Lion, it starts and then hangs at 142mb. Since yesterday.
    The iMac is 3.4 ghz Intel Core i7, with 8GB of ram, with a SSD system drive. It is currently running 0S X 10.7.5. I have restarted several times, and trashed the preferences and cache for the App Store. I also tried creating an alternate user account on the computer and downloading from the new user - it still hangs at 142mb.
    I have already purchased Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro, and that worked great. The App store recognizes that it is a purchased app - but i am unable to download past 142mb. My internet connection is solid, and I have restarted my modem - not sure what else i can do.

    I would first try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    If you continue to have a problem it may just be any issue with Apple's servers or those of your ISP.

  • TS1702 Having a problem downloading previously downloaded Apps on a MacBook with OS 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard.

    Having a problem downloading previously downloaded Apps to iTune 11.0.2 on a MacBook with OS 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?

    The Mac App Store is for apps/programs for your Mac i.e. they are for Mac OS X - if you've bought/downloaded any apps from within that, and they are still in that store, then they should show in the Purchases tab within it.
    The app store within iTunes is for apps for iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches i.e. they are iOS apps
    If you want iPhoto for your Mac then the version within the Mac App Store is where you need to look - but the version that is in there needs OS X 10.7.5+, so that won't work with your version. You might be able to download it via this page (whether it will then install I don't know) : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1462

  • Problems creating bass tab in score editor...

    Trying to write some bass tab directly into the score editor for printing out later. First thing I created was a bassline that's only on the low E. When I did the 5th fret A Logic kept putting the note to the open third string A. I fixed that in the tab layout section by setting the A1 pitch to A2 and the note now goes to the 5th fret A like I want.
    But in the next measure I want a B5 bassline on the 7th fret/4th string and 9th fret/3rd string, B and F#. I can get the B no problem, but Logic is forcing the F# to the 14th fret/4th string note instead of the 9th fret/3rd string I want. I've tinkered with changing pitches in the guitar tab layout, but nothing is getting me an F# on the 9th fret/3rd string. Any ideas?
    I wish I could do this in in Finale Notepad, but as far as I can tell, I can't do hammer on/pull off symbols unless I buy the upgrade...things I need to do in the THIRD measure!

    I am sorry to have to say that importing scores was not the reason for MIDI, it is for the MIDI editor only. There is a NEW system now called XML and it can transfer scores and midi, but Logic can only open XML files from SoundtrackPro, Other sequencers,[ Cubase5 ] say they can safely transfer scores but I haven't tried it yet. There is a reply in this forum marked !solved! from me to someone else in which I falsely claim that logic CAN import xml,I was wrong, dig deeper and you will find that the choices for importing are MIDI, ,OMF, Open TL, and AAF, I haven't found any info on what AAF can do, but the other two are only for audio files only. I don't remember Finale exporting AAF so no joy there. Happy searching.

  • Trying to create guitar tabbing software

    Okay first off, i'd like to thank anyone who offers any help of any kind
    Well, to see exaclty what i'm trying to make is already available in c++, it's called
    powertab, download it, it's sorta small, it's free. The program is cool, but very limited.
    Power Tab Application
    http://www.power-tab.net/downloads.php
    Power tab Archive (all user submitted songs, reviewed before posting by really picky people)
    http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=browse
    The main thing i need help with is how to design a musical staff such as the one
    in powertab. You can go to the power tab archive and download a tab of a song if
    you like to see what a song looks like, if you've never seen inside guitar tabulature books.
    What kinda of component whould i subclass, or should it be a component, or would i do it with graphic's draw methods,
    (I'd like it to be a component rather than draws, for some reason draws seem un-inventful).
    The program uses a true type font for the traditional staff notes, i'd like to take
    advatage of that as well. How would i do that, or can i do that? To me this is a
    real brain buster, and also bear in mind the numbers on the tab staff must be
    stored as int, so i can output with midi.
    Thanks for any help you can contribute

    You want yours to look something like this: http://www.power-tab.net/images/PTEv17_800x600.gif ??
    I'd say you need a custom component which renders the staffs/notes/etc. At the core of it, though, the component will need to use the graphics' draw methods. Drawing the stuff is one thing, but making the component interactive (i.e., editable) is another thing entirely.
    I'm no font expert. Java uses unicode internally, but I think it's possible that the powertab ttf font may not be mapped to unicode. If you can figure it out, you can simply use Graphics.drawString().
    How are chords handled... do you just render a few notes as offsets of each other? How about joined stems (eighths, sixteenths, etc.), or ties.
    Sorry, more questions than answers. :)

  • Problem downloading software for iPhone

    Is anyone else finding it impossible to update iPhone software to 4.3.2 from 4.3.1?  I keep getting the following message:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone.  An unknown error occurred (12003).  Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later".
    iPad update performed without a hitch.
    Perhaps the Genius Bar can perform the update for me?
    Thank you!
    Roman

    I had this same problem and solved it when I realized that the software upgrade download was about 600MB, but I had less free space available on the iPhone.
    So I deleted some large music files to make space available, then started the upgrade again and it worked fine.
    One caveat: since I had "Automatically fill free space with songs" checked in iTunes, under the iPhone "Music" tab, simply deleting songs from the iPhone's playlist did not clear up the space.  Other songs got loaded to fill up the space.  I had to uncheck "Automatically fill free space with songs" as well as delete songs in order to free up the space.
    Hope this helps.
