SOMEONE PLEASE HELP BEFORE I THROW MY MAC OUT OF THE WINDOW!

Is my setup useless?
Logic crashes every time I open more than 1 external synth (e.g. predator, massive, ABL2). This occurs with no other instruments in the project.
It cant seem to take the CPU.
Here is what I have….
Apple iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz 512MB (2x256MB) 160GB (upgraded with 2gig of ram – as much as it can take!)
Logic 7
OSX 10.4.11
M Audio Oxygen V8 midi keyboard
Memory 2GB667 MHz DDR SD RAM
1.47gb memory free
92.82gb space free on hard drive
Can anyone offer some advice? Surely for what I have paid for the system, I should be able to get more out of it than this?…. is there anything else I can do to boost processing power?
Any help is massively appreciated!

Hi David,
Before sleeping out of your window waiting your Imac, maybe I would suggest couple things:
- Getting LOGIC 7.2.3
- Getting last M-AUDIO drivers (if lot compliant one)
- Repair permissions with let's say ONYX software.
- Are you using external firewire hardrive? (issue for some of Imac sometimes)
if this still causes you troubles, then you 'll see my face outside your house with my arms ready.
Cheers.

Since the issue really is not related to the focus of this forum...compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, you should 1. Try a different brand of discs. 2.

Help before I throw this printer out of the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just purchased a Deskjet 2540 all in one printer - I will only ever need to print boarding passes etc. -
this looked so good on Amazon ideal for my iPad and said how easy to set up!!! In my dreams - I have now spent 10 hours
Trying to set this up and last night was close to cracking:-
I am setting this by wirless. I have the password and the printer showing on my iPad.
Each time I try and load the softwear I am told an unexpected error has occurred please try again later - I
Have tried and tried to no avail. Apple staff have said I do not need this softwear????????
The network test results say:-
1 check the printer network name ssid matches your wireless router network name ssid exactly!!!!!
2 if they do not match exactly, run the wireless setup from the printer software to configure your hp printer!!!!!
But no where can I find how to do this and sorry I really do not understand what this means.
Reading Amazon some people have set up in 15 min!!!!
The cost of bringing in an expert to set this up is worth more than the printer cost!!!!!!
Thanks for reading feel better letting of steam will defiantly be a 0 from me for the feed back to Amazon

Hello SueJon,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I hope this reply finds you with the printer not thrown out of the Window. Regarding the Deskjet 2540 setup to work with the iPad, I would like to help.
There are two ways that you can print from the iPad to the 2540. The first, Wireless Direct. Wireless Direct is a network that the printer broadcasts and the iPad would connect to it. This method will leave the iPad with no other network access while connected.
Second, and more functional, is having the printer connected to the same network that the iPad is connected too.
In order to setup this connection, follow the steps outlined below;
Turn Wireless Direct on from the front panel button on the printer. (number 4).
Connect the iPad to the printer network, Settings> Network> HP-Print-2540.
Open Safari and type this I.P address into the address bar, 192.168.223.1 and hit Enter.
Go to Network or Wireless and then Wireless Setup Wizard.
Select your network and enter the needed information.
Once connected, the Wireless light should be solid, connect the iPad back to your network. To print, open a document, hit the Share button (), and if an option to print is available you will be able to select the print option.
I hope you find this information helpful.

Audio recorded LATE... please help before I throw my MBP out the window!!!

Surely SOMEONE must have an answer to this:
Audio is being recorded LATE in the arrange. WHAT'S GOING ON?!!?!?
- There are NO effects across the output.
- This happens regardless of the soundcard - tested on an RME FF800 and an Mbox.
- It seems to be late by a random amount each time but seems to increase with track count/plugin use.
- Changing the buffer size makes no difference.
- Delay compensation settings make no difference.
- Recording delay slider is centered.
I'm runnning Logic 9.1 with a 2.53GHz 4Gb Macbook Pro on 10.5.8. I've had this problem ever since upgrading to L9.
It's driving me crazy. I'm a full-time writer/producer, and this is making every hour of my professional life very difficult!!!
Anyone?!

it's really weird actually... sometimes a new session will be fine at first, and sometimes there's latency straight away, but eventually it's sure to creep in, whether there are plugins on tracks or not... in fact, playing along with the click yields the same result, so it's nothing to do with where i'm perceiving the timing of pre-recorded parts to be (again, there are NO effects strapped across the output).
as i hinted at previously, a friend of mine had the exact same problem, so unless we're birdbrains of a feather it seems there is a problem with logic!

Ok I am about to throw my mac out of the window. Again.

I am trying to open iPhoto and I get the following message.
Unable to write to the library "iPhoto Library"
Check that you have permission to write to the library directory.
Any suggestions before my mac is sat next to its maker Steve Jobbs?

So I had to deliberately set the permissions incorrectly to no access and then allow the system to 'repair' the m
permissions for it to work.
Come on apple I am seriously losing faith and considering switching back to Microsoft. Surely the reason why we spend over the odds money is for our lives to be made simpler and for Apple products to work with a minimum of fuss. Mr Jobbs would be turning.........

Hi all,
i have the following two classes. one is a table model that in herits from DefaultTableModel. i have designed the table model to show the first row with blank values except for the run column which has a checkbox. when i call the method Add_New_Row from a button click, nothing happens. i want to add a new row to the table the same as the first. Can someone please help with this.
public class Table_Class extends JTable
CsgTableModel model = new CsgTableModel();
JTable table = new JTable(model);
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(table);
public Table_Class()
table.setRowHeight(25);
public JScrollPane Return_Table()
return (pane);
public void Add_New_Row() // add a new object row to the mission table
((DefaultTableModel)(table.getModel())).addRow(new Object[] {null,"","","","",new Boolean(false),""});
public class CsgTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
final String[] columnNames = {"Name","Object Trajectory",
"Type of Sensor","Signature","Sensor Trajectory",
"Run","Status of run"};
final Object[][] data = {{"", "","","","",new Boolean(false),""}};
public int getColumnCount() {
return columnNames.length;
public int getRowCount() {
     return 1;
public String getColumnName(int col) {
return columnNames[col];
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
return data[row][col];
* JTable uses this method to determine the default renderer/
* editor for each cell. If we didn't implement this method,
* then the last column would contain text ("true"/"false"),
* rather than a check box.
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* editable.
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
//Note that the data/cell address is constant,
//no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
if (col < 0) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* data can change.
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
if (data[0][col] instanceof Integer
&& !(value instanceof Integer)) {
//With JFC/Swing 1.1 and JDK 1.2, we need to create
//an Integer from the value; otherwise, the column
//switches to contain Strings. Starting with v 1.3,
//the table automatically converts value to an Integer,
//so you only need the code in the 'else' part of this
//'if' block.
try {
data[row][col] = new Integer(value.toString());
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
} else {
data[row][col] = value;
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
thanks for any help

use Vectors of vectors for holding your table data, since you won't be able to increase the size of your Object[][] array when you add a new row.
Implement your table model as follows -
public class CsgTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
final String[] columnNames = {"Name","Object Trajectory",
"Type of Sensor","Signature","Sensor Trajectory",
"Run","Status of run"};
Vector data = new Vector();
public int getColumnCount() {
return columnNames.length;
public int getRowCount() {
return data.size();
public String getColumnName(int col) {
return columnNames[col];
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
Vector rowData = (vector) data.get(row);
return rowData.get(col);
public void addRow(Vector rowdata) {
int newRowIndex = getRowCount();
data.add(rowdata);
fireTableRowsInserted(newRowIndex, newRowIndex);
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
if (col < 0) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
Vector tempData = (Vector) data.get(0);
if (tempData.get(col) instanceof Integer
&& !(value instanceof Integer)) {
Vector rowData = (Vector) data.get(row);
try {
rowData.removeElementAt(col);
rowData.add(col, new Integer(value.toString()));
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
} else {
rowData.removeElementAt(col);
rowData.add(col, value);
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
your Add_New_Row() method should now look like this -
public void Add_New_Row() // add a new object row to the mission table {
Vector rowVector = new Vector();
rowVector.add("");
rowVector.add("");
rowVector.add("");
rowVector.add("");
rowVector.add("");
rowVector.add(new Boolean(false));
rowVector.add("");
model.addRow(rowVector);
table.updateUI();

PLEASE help before I throw my iMac G4 out of the apartment window

Hello Apple Experts.
I hope that you can help me out here before I throw my iMac G4 out of the apartment window!!!!
I am having major problems with my wireless connection on my iMac G4(Uses original Airport Card).
When I installed 10.4 the connection was just very weak and not all the bars on the Airport icon were highlighted.
Also, on occasions the connection was totally lost and the iMac didn't even see the base unit (non apple) whilst it was switched on.
Now that I upgraded to 10.4.10 (using the PPC combi update), the Imac does not see or connect to the base unit at all.
As far as I know the card and antenna is conneted properly as I followed the Apple set up guide.
I know that the base station is fine as I have another mac in the house that connects with no issues....
I am wondering if there is a general issues with the iMac G4's connecting wirelessly with the Airport Card.
It seems there maybe three problems here.
1) There is an issues with the software update
2) There is a problem with the Airport Card (although it is brand new)
3) I need to configure someting to make it work!
Hope someone can help me here.
Thanks for your time.

I'm getting the same problem. Probably since 10.4.10 but I can't be sure. I am have just been perplexed at why my other machines are working OK and my iMac G4 17" 1Ghz is having network problems. It has the original Aiport Extreme Card inside. I was Googling and saw a suggestion to delete all your "Network Locations" then start fresh. I've just tried that and I'm running a ping for a while to see how its performing. I think its improved but the signal read only 2 bars still when my MacBook Pro right next to it read 100%.
Somebody must know something?

HT1414 Can someone PLEASE help me???? I did the restore and now my phone just pops up an iTunes logo with an arrow pointing at it. What do I do?

I got my iPhone 4 yesterday. I almost immediately had issues with it. I contacted Apple and was told to do a restore via iTunes online. I completed the restore and now my phone has an iTunes logo on it with an arrow pointing at the logo and a picture of a USB cable beneath the arrow. I can't get the phone to do anything else and I can't contact support because my phone isn't working. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I listed the operating system below as "Other OS" because I don't know what operating system I have.

you do as the logo suggests: connect your iPhone to your computer and restore using iTunes.

Please help - Brand new X1 Carbon defective out of the box - is this normal? what should I do next?

Hello all,
So, as a loyal Lenovo customer I decided to purchase the X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (non-touch, I5 version).
Last week I finally received it.
Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was a defective touchpad - very loose, the right bottom corner was not solid
enough and made a weird noise while clicking it. It drove me crazy since I am used to the top build quality the Thinkpad series offers.
I took to the local Lenovo service center, they actually replaced it on the spot and it made it better, not great but better. I still think there is something wrong there, since the bottom two "buttons" don't feet and sound as good as the upper ones.
But that I can tolarate.
The thing that really pissed me off was this: To me demise, after using the laptop in a dark room I noticed this massive screen bleed :
(apologize for the ling stream of pics, didn't know how to thumbnail them)
My question to you guys, is this okay? is this an acceptable bleed? or should I do whatever it takes to get it repaired/replaced?
I just hope they will know how to handle this here at local center, as from my experience dealing with computer reps here, the local Lenovo agent (which is actually the importer) will not replace it for me (their excuse is that it wasn't bought in this country)
This is amazing, in one year Lenovo has lost it's entire reputation over the 2nd Gen X1 carbon.
Please help me. what should I do?
Thank you very much.

The official method of creating / escalating to a complaint is to call support, with previous call numbers handy, and request the representative to escalate your case to a complaint. They will then create a complaint on your behalf and also be able to inform you about the complaints proceedure.

A/V not working...am ready to throw this modem out of the window

got a Zoom 5560 Ethernet modem/router for my new iMac Intel core duo with built in iSight as the modem i ran on my old imac is not supported (USB OneTouch 330).
I have done all i can as found in this forum:
Mac OS X Firewall is off
Quicktime streaming to 1.5 mbps
iChat video to none (and also tried various settings)
Ports open in NAT in Zoom modem/router (4099, 5190, 5193, 5297, 5298)
Why can't i video chat via iChat, the old USB modem worked out of the box, but obvioulsy i can't use this unsupported device any more and my old iMac is no longer with me in this world.
Please need help!!

Great allows only 24 entries.
I wanna try the DMZ feature but can't seem to find the right place to do it in the Zoom X3. As usual the help stuff is mainly in the installer and that being windows means its not accessible. Ifound this on the Zoom website:
=============================================
< Open the Zoom Web Console (<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://10.0.0.2), click Advanced Setup, and click the Misc Configuration button.
If you are using PPPoA encapsulation, from the PPP Half Bridge drop-down menu, select Enable.
Click the Save Changes button and then the Write Settings to Flash and Reboot button.
Now you must change encapsulation setting from the default the PPPoE LLCSNAP to PPPoA VCMUX. To do this, click Basic Setup. Then from the Encapsulation drop-down menu, select PPPoA VCMUX.
Click the Save Changes button and then the Write Settings to Flash and Reboot button.
Verify that your TCP/IP properties are set for DHCP. You may need to release and renew the IP address. Refer to the instructions in the Zoom ADSL Modem User's Manual (click on Documentation in the main installation menu of the Zoom ADSL CD). Note: The IP address should be the same as the WAN status IP Address, which is located on the System Status page of the Zoom Web Console>
=============================================
Okay, my biggest problem is that I'm in Austria with my iMac G5 and my mum is in England with her new iMac G5 intel duo core, so i'm trying to set her Zoom X3 up via telephone with my mum who is 65, yeah so thats the deal!
So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please help before I throw my i pad away

I had my i pad stoled last week so bought a new one (i pad 1 version). When i turn i tunes on and connect my i pad to my laptop to take it through the set up etc, my i pad does not appear as a device in i tunes. I have just spent 4 hours trying repeatedly to get it to work. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. Otherrwise i think i will have to give up on it and put it in the cupboard never to be seen again. I am IT illiterate and so got the **** machine as i was told it was user friendly!

Don't throw it away. You'll get it to work.
First, when you plug into a power outlet does the iPad charge?
If yes, what type of computer? If a Mac, when you plug into a REAR USB port directly, does it charge? If no, it might be a cable issue. Do you have your prior iPads cable? Have you tried each cable? Some cables aren't good? If iTunes doesn't see it with either cable then move on further. What version of iTunes are you running? What iOS version came loaded on your iPad? Next thing to check is that both are compatible. Newer iPad iOS versions require your iTunes to be upgraded to a recent version as well. If you are running an older iTunes version, it might not be compatible with the version on the iPad. You would need to upgrade your iTunes version, or vice versa on the iPad.
Here is some good stuff from Apple.

Good Luck.
