Serious issues with motu interface and logic, advice?

i use a motu 828 mk2, updated to logic pro 7 from 6, everything worked fine for awhile. Sometimes I can spend hours playing and recording software instruments before the program malfunctions. All of a sudden the audio being played becomes out of tune and crackly, fading in and out. Then the screen of the motu begins flipping out, the faders become dim and move kinda erratic and sometimes theres letters that appear NIAG. If I save and close logic, turn off the interface then back on again the problem is gone. (actually sometimes it will work fine again and others it won't. Right now for example I will use logic for a minute and then it comes back again. I keep up on all the mac and logic updates. does my computer cause the problem to the interface or vice versa. Is the interface broke? Do I have the wrong driver?( I downloaded it from motu so I don't believe thats the case). does it have to do with the way all my folders are organized on the hard drive? Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? No? who else could I ask. motu's forum wasn't much help. I almost want to call the geek squad or something like that but I thought all you could give me some ideas. thank you for reading this. I really hope someone replies, even if it's to say which set up you have that works fine, maybe I'll reconsider mine.

Hey, thanks for the tip. Though, that didn't work. How frustrating, The same problem has occured. Today is the fourth day in a row that I can't use logic. In the past it would act up for a day two then work again. Tuesday ( tomorrow) I'm supposed to have a recording session, It doesn't look too hopeful that this issue will be resolved. Please , if anyone has another suggestion I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe some ideas to isolate the problem. does anyone out there use an mk2? I lost my install disk and downloaded the driver from motu's website, could their universal driver be the problem? I'm getting pretty burnt out with this b/s. Maybe resetting something in logic would help. Any ideas. thank you. I think any response could help.

Having some serious issues with my iPhone and need some advice

I'm going to these two issues which have been occuring with me for the past weeks-
1.) I am facing a problem with my iPhone 5's lightning port or the cable. This started happening all of a sudden; one second my phone is charging, and the other it is not. Even if it is slightly moved from its position, it would stop charging, and further shaking starts it again, so on and so forth. At first I thought the issue might be with my cable, so I asked my friend to bring his lightning cable to my house so we could test that. It happened again- one shake the phone will charge, another shake stops it. (Note that any kind of movement does this, not only shaking) I'm a bit skeptical about his (my friend's) cable too, though- it shows NOT CHARGING on his iPad while it is in fact actually charging. His cable is only 3-4 weeks old though, so this confuses me even more. I think the issue might be with my port, but as of now I cannot draw a valid conclusion to my problem.
2.) The second problem is that I've noticed my battery drains a **** lot faster now- ever since the first issue started. I manage to get my phone charging by placing it very carefully on the table and it charges overnight. However, when I pick it up in the morning, and read some news, it drains from 100% to 99% in ~60 seconds. This never happened before. Before this, it used to be at 100% for at least 10-15 minutes (might be even more). If I reboot my phone, it shows 100% again, but it still drains a lot faster now. I know because I've been using this phone for the past 4 months now, and I know when it drains and when it does nots
Please, help! I need some advice as to how I should approach this problem. My phone is in the warranty period, however, I would like to have an expert's opinion first.

Hello,
First: I've experienced the same problem with my iPhone 5. I've bought a new charger and it still did the same thing. I went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone checked out and they said that the pins inside my iPhone we're damaged, and I had to get a replacement.

Issue with Axiom 25 and Logic 9/9.01

New user here of Logic 9 and now Logic 9.01. Yesterday I received the M-Audio Axiom 25. I've noticed on certain plug-in patches I'm getting static (or sounds like digital distortion) with Massive, Mtron etc...Some of the patches are fine but a number of them sound highly distorted. Anyone else experiencing this issue or has any insight as to what the problem may be? Thanks.

I would say I'm somewhat disappointed that with 171 views not one person has made any suggestions for this issue. Well I ended up resolving my own issue! Turns out that this issue was being caused by use of a sample rate of 192khz with my Motu Ultralite mk3. Once I dropped the sample rate down to 9600 all the distortion was gone. Now to be fair, I presently reverted back to OSX 10.5.7 for testing purposes, but it behaved exactly the same as it did in OSX 10.6.1. So my bet is all along the issue has been the high sample rate of 192 causing the problems with 3rd Party apps (Massive) etc.... Interesting, that I don't notice these distortion issues at 192 with the instruments/sounds in Logic 9. Oh well, I'm glad it is resolved, now on to making music!

Serious Issues with FCPX. Advice?

I am having serious issues with Final Cut Pro X. I can only edit for about 10 or 15 minutes before all clips in my Timeline and my Event Browser start appearing as either green or black w/ unexplained artifacts in the viewer.
Once this starts happening in Final Cut, my entire system is affected. Images in Aperture, iPhoto, Quicklook, etc begin to appear as just jumbled artifacts. Even my desktop goes wonky. I took a picture of my desktop with my phone just to provide an example.
Quitting Final Cut has no affect on resolving the issue. However, completely shutting down my system and restarting does correct the problem. I would think it is a graphics card issue, except for the fact that it only starts happening when I’m using Final Cut. I can watch HD movies, play graphics intensive games, edit in Photoshop, encode video in MPEG Streamclip and so forth and there are no issues until I start using Final Cut again. Also I have run the Apple provided diagnostic tools and TechTool Pro, both of which report no problems with my video card.
I have tried using optimize and proxy media in Final Cut, but that does not improve the situation.
I am currently at a complete loss. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sound advice. However, I have already taken my iMac to the Apple Store. While there, the issue did not occur and they said that it passed their hardware tests. They said they could replace the logic board and gpu, but since they were not able to diagnose the problem they couldn't say for sure that would fix anything. Since I am no longer under AppleCare, I wanted to look for other solutions before trying an expensive and uncertain fix.

I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

Serious issue with Mac OS X 10.6.4 and wireless networking

Hello there, I'm having a serious issue with my TP-Link WP-8910G wireless router and Mac OS X 10.6.4 .
Problems began some days ago. In short, after a certain period of time, my router drops the wireless connection out and, when I try to re-establish it, if a very short period of time has passed after disconnection Airport detects the wireless network and returns "connection timeout". If I wait more, no wireless connection is detected, and I have to reset the router and re-connect Airport. This is very annoying.
How can I solve this issue?

Have you verified that the router is not the problem?

Recording audio with Motu interface

Hello,
Happy Christmas!
I normally record guitars and basses with a Yamaha THR5 or 10.
The digital amp becomes the audio interface (if I understood correctly) and I can hear the guitar while being recorded and the tracks on Logic Pro.
I would like to use the audio interface MOTU Micro Book (1).
After installing the drivers, I can connect it to the mac, and I can hear the sound of the bass.
Still the Logic tracks are sent to the speakers (or mac phones).
That would be OK if I could hear the bass lines while being recorded but I can only hear them if I plug the phones on the Motu phones exit.
I have tried with the system and Logic configuration but the MOTU interface doesn't show as an available device, despite the signal arrives.
What am I doing wrong?
Funny that after trying a few things, now the audio doesn't "reach" my mac at all (even if I select "R") despite I can hear it on the headphones (of course when connected to the MOTU).
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Jim. I don't know of any faster cards, though they might exist. The "Slim SCSI 1480" is Ultra SCSI (20MB/sec), not SCSI II (10MB/sec). Adaptec used to advertise it as Mac-compatible, and I talked to a number of people who used it in Powerbook G3s that lacked SCSI ports, but that was before the early versions of OS X abandoned support for SCSI. The "PowerDomain 1480" is only SCSI II. It's specifically advertised by Adaptec as Mac OS 8.6 and 9.x-compatible, but its spec sheet says nothing about OS X I don't know why not. Back when I was using a PBG3 and frequenting the PBG3 Discussions area, Adaptec didn't offer these two different 1480 models; there was only the Slim SCSI 1480. That's why I suggested calling and asking Adaptec about SCSI support for the faster card in Panther and Tiger. The market for SCSI peripherals to be used with Mac laptops must now be very tiny indeed, so I doubt that web pages or spec sheets for these cards are being updated frequently to reflect the slowly improving support for SCSI in recent versions of OS X.
Ratoc also makes a Cardbus adapter, but it too is Ultra SCSI, not Ultra Wide SCSI. You would, of course, have a much wider range of SCSI adapter options with a desktop Mac instead of a Powerbook. A laptop may not be the best base for your system.

Serious Issues with Lumia 820

Dear Sir/Mam ,
I am very sorry to inform you that i have been using Nokia Lumia 820 since past 3 months , and every day i am facing new problems . Few problems I already mailed you before ( Service request no : 1-6KQPRQV )
,which started persisting within the 7 days of purchase . It is a very bad experience for a genuine customer like me , as nokia is like a family to me . Every one including my mother , father , brother are using Nokia and never faced problems since we started using cell phones .
Apart from problems i mentioned before ,few serious problems I have been facing past few days are as below :
* People i speak with are not able to listen me properly (my voice reaches them very low) , the problem is not permanent though but it rises anytime .
*My volume key button do not respond , as i cannot change volume of the songs for hours even though i can see the volume rising and falling in display .
**** and the most important problem which i faced today is very upsetting and i am in real pain because of it , my phone dropped from a height not more than 1/2 feet ( i mean it) and my lowermost screen is damaged . I was not believing my eyes when i saw it . How can be the the screen of a phone which costs me Rs 23,800 be so soft .Thank god display is working but i am unable to use windows key button .
I am very upset because of it . Being love with Nokia i borrowed it on installments , half of which are still pending and I am in no position to spend money on my 3 months old phone .
Please suggest me what to do , hoping for your early response .
Thanks & Regards ,
Gaurav Singh

Sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing. Does sound like there are issues with your handset because it is definitely not behaving normally. Your first port of call should be your local Nokia Care Point. They should be able to assess the issues with your phone and advice you on the options available to you.

Problems with Presonus Firestudio and Logic

I am having problems with compatability with my brand new Presonus Firestudio recording interface and Logic pro 8. I am new to logic but not to home recording, and i cant understand what might be the problem. When i use the firestudio with garageband it works easily. In the garageband sound preferences there are input AND output channels that the user can define. (i.e. you can set your input channels to come from the firestudio while the output channels go to the computer speakers or headphone jacks or whatever you define it as).
From what i have seen in logic, there is only one option for your audio settings. when in preferences and under audio, there is a "device" setting in which you can define your audio device. Wheather this is input AND output for the program, i do not know. but the problem i am experiencing is that whenever i choose the firepod as the input device, no sound from logic will play from the speakers whatsoever. My first thought was that maybe ouput was going straight to the firestudio, but after plugging headphones into it this also did not work. Has anyone had success getting their firestudio to work in logic? if so let me know what settings you had to use, and how you got to moniter your input from from the firestudio via your computer.
p.s.
another WIERD problem i have run into, is that if i shut off the firestudio while logic is open, alot of times it will shut down my whole computer. i have never heard of this happening. what am i doing wrong?
thanks!

ah, I was hoping to find my solution here, but alas the thread is gone...
I recently bought a Macbook running Leopard, and am having difficulties with my PreSonus Firestudio Project thru Logic and Mainstage. I can get audio input and output just fine, but there's a ton of distortion/crackle. Kickstarting the sample rate seems to clear it up for a minute or two, but then the crackle comes back. The recorded tracks sound clean if I unplug the Firestudio, so apparently it's only in the monitoring stage?
On the PreSonus board, they're claiming it's Apple who needs to update drivers for Leopard; PreSonus says the "Firestudio Project is Leopard compatible."

Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
Some additional information - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
As it stands now,
Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

HELP: SERIOUS ISSUES WITH BILLING

I have had serious issues with BT since joining their service. Without getting into the issues we had with the BT homehub and other things at the start of the contract with them here is what's been happening.
When we joined BT we explained that we wanted a monthly direct debit. Sounds simple enough but apparently not.
I have phoned over 6 times in the last year to change this. It has still not happened. Several times we were told that on the system it said monthly for it to be then taken out quarterly. In July while we were away this happened again. Only as we assumed that as they had informed us it would definitely be on monthly direct debit that it was the money for the whole of the quarter was not there. So when they took the money for a quarterly bill again. We were charged. It has set back other bills as the money had been eaten up by charges for this. As you can imagine we were quite annoyed. This was not our fault and we felt that BT were not capable of holding our account details without taking money they we repeatedly requested not to. I admit we should have kept a closer eye on our bills account but you don't think that a company will repeatedly do this to you.
After phone calls it emerged that they would not say more than a 'sorry' about this.
The saga then continued. I cancelled the quarterly direct debit at the back and have asked BT to send me monthly paper bills. Then last month our phone and internet was cut off.
We rang up and suggested that due to the mix up could they add the money we owed to our monthly bills and we'd pay this off on top of the monthly bill. Despite that the reason we owe this at all is not through any fault of our own but through theirs. The money would have been available had they taken it as repeatedly requested.
We were on the phone for 1hr and 10 mins ( 21st September) to three different people. No, they said must be paid in 10 day. My partner only managed to get money off this in about an hour - the point being we were happy to pay the whole amount over a year and were not allowed. We asked to speak to a manager after 1hr and 10 and were put back to the start of the queue. 16 minutes later the man we spoke to said a manager named Samantha would call us back. No-one did.
On the 22nd of september a rather annoyed me called back and repeatedly requested a manager - sadi would be put though. After 17 minutes the phone went dead.
Called later on same thing phone went dead after requesting a manager at 10 minutes.
Later on called for 28 minutes and told the call centre the issue £20 deducted from amount but said it had to be paid in ten days and a bill would be sent. Was told that the internet would be reconnected that day.
23rd September was hung up on after thre minutes on requesting why the internet had not been connected.
Phoned later. The man that I spoke to said that no action had been put through to reconnect the internet. He would do it and it would be through by 5pm.
My partner phoned at 8pm when the internet still had not been reconnected. It was done the next day.
Today BT phoned to ask if I had the bill ( Not sent) and tell me that the line will be disconnected by the end of the day. i explained that we were in the middle of complaints procedures with them. She looked on the system and said that there were no notes on the account. I asked for a manager and then asked for this managers superior. She put me through to someone that when questioned was not her superior and half way through my explanation of this....you guessed it..... the line went dead.
I am so annoyed that we've been fine with bill paying and as of their mistake we're now in debt to them and feel like we can't sort it out as there is not anyone who will listen or help. Has anyone had similar probelms or does anyone have a number for their English call centre?
Jess

hi Jess,
I am really sorry that you have had so much trouble trying to get this sorted out. I'll get this straightened out.
Could you drop me in an email please to the address in my profile with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.

Serious issues with Timer when RunTimeExceptions are thrown in TimerTask

Hi All,
I am facing serious issues with Timer and TimerTask.
Runtime exceptions thrown in TimerTask kill that one thread, thus making Timer dead i.e. scheduled tasks will not run anymore. Is there any way we can overcome this with Timer or it is just not possible?
I used try, catch blocks in TimerTask for RunTimeExceptions but no luck. Timer is not running any more once TimerTask throws any exceptions. Why it is not able to catch them? Is this known issue with Timer?
I am using Java 1.5.0_08.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Is this known issue with Timer?It's perfectly possible for you to catch a RuntimeException, in a TimerTask or anywhere else. If you were thinking that there is a language feature or something which makes catching exceptions work differently in a TimerTask, you weren't thinking right. Your code is just wrong.

Serious Issues with New Itunes Release

I'm having serious issues with my Itunes. If I right click on any of the songs and go to reveal in Windows Explorer (so i can find the darn things) it removes pretty much every option from the right click menu, refuses to play music and if i shut down ITunes and try to restart it it refuses to open again. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software and i get the same issue. any ideas? its driving me insane and i wish i had never upgraded to the new version because the last version was working just fine.

Also I see that Itunes remains in my task manager in the processes section even after I close it down. any ideas would be woooonderful because i can't live without my music...
