Terrible midi latency XP via Bootcamp

Hi eveybody,
Don't know if someone could help but this issue is driving me nut
I'm running XP on my Imac via bootcamp and I'm using a Motu 828 MkII Firewire audio interface to produce music in Ableton Live.
Problem is that I've have a terrible midi latency when trying to use my midi keyboard (that is directly connected to the Motu soundcard). Don't have the same problem when I use this configuration on OSX Leopard but I need to use Windows plugins for some collaboration works... I've already tried to update the soundcard driver but problem stills there!
Is there someone who have experimented the same issue?
I need help!
Thanks a lot.

the bootcamp 2.1 update on apple site...would i just use that...
or should i use the bootcamp utility in my utilites folder?
2.1 is for Service pack 3...so i wanna use that...
but would the assistant be inlcuded in the 2.1 update....?
shall i download anything from apple website...?
or just use what came with my macbook??
I don't really know. I did this 2 years ago - DL'd bootcamp beta, followed the instructions and in about an hour was loading apps. I can't believe it's any harder now. All it does is set up a separate partition so that you can dual boot windows.
im not using the latest leopard version...im on the one but last....
music software always has issues with updates...
Don't see why that would matter.
if i choose to make a 30gb partition, i cant make it bigger later? probably not but 30 should be plenty.
NTFS or fat?
XP likes ntfs but mac can only read nfts, not write to it. I keep all my data on external drives split between fat32 and osx. That way I can easily move files back and forth. Frankly I wouldn't bother otherwise. Since my projects are usually around 35 audio tracks throughput is never an issue.
would macbook be able to access data files on windows partition?
Only Fat 32.
would windows xp be able to access files on the mac side?
Windows cannot read a mac partition, in fact, the mac partition won't even show up in XP.
sorry sorry sorry.... this is all rather complicated....just reading the pdf manual for bootcamp......
It's not that bad, just be patient and take it one step at a time
cheers!

  • MacBook Air (Mid 2013) Windows 8 via Bootcamp

    Hey guys,
    Just wanted to know if there was anybody who was able to  install Windows 8 (or even Windows 7) on their new MacBook Air.
    I heard from somebody that installing Windows via bootcamp was different for this model.
    First of all,he said that you are unable to install Windows 7/8 with a CD--although it is possible, he said that you will incur with some prolems during installing, he said the trackpad and keyboard will be not functioning.
    Anyways, there were many other problems he told me...
    Anybody installed it? Were there any problems?

    Well you must actually say what you mean. DVD or 8GB flash drive. Whether you have a USB-DVD Apple SuperDrive or something else.
    BCA should walk you through. And, it has instructions! a guide to read and printout.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5639
    How can I install Windows 8 on an eligible computer?

    When I do an upgrade install from Windows 7 to Windows 8, an "Uninstall USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver" message appears. What do I do?
    Do not click on Uninstall. Click the back button and Cancel the upgrade. Download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software by using the Boot Camp Assistant in OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3, or click here to download them. Then, try the upgrade again. See this article for more information. 
    After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8, Thunderbolt devices are (not) being recognized when I connect in. How do I fix this?
    Disable the Windows 8 Fast Boot feature to allow Thunderbolt devices to be recognized. See Boot Camp: Thunderbolt devices not recognized after Windows 8 upgrade for instructions.
    Is there an OS X version requirement to use the Boot Camp Assistant to download Boot Camp 5 Support Software?
    You need OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later installed to download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software (Windows drivers) using the Boot Camp Assistant. After upgrading, click the Go menu and choose Utilities. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the onscreen instructions. You can download the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
    The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
    Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
    Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
    Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
    Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
    When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
    Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
    Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
    Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
    Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
    If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
    If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
    Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
    Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.

  • Unable to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp on MBP mid-2012

    Posted here from my original, since the old one was basically in the wrong thread.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/25097756#25097756
    I have a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13" with the 2.9ghz i7 configuration, 8gb ram, intel HD 4000, Crucial M4 256gb SSD, and the original 750gb hard drive that was included in the computer.  I made the SSD my boot disk.
    I've been trying to install Windows 7 via bootcamp for a few days now.  The first time I tried it I walked away from the computer after it got to the "Copying files" part of the windows 7 installation so I wasn't able to see what went wrong.  When I try to start the computer it goes to the blank DOS screen (or terminal, whatever you prefer to call it) with the flashing cursor for text but I cannot enter anything and it just sits there.  So I figured something may have gone wrong with the installation and I tried to do it again.
    I re-wiped my 8gb flash drive, redownloaded the boot camp support files, and again started the installation with windows 7.  The first time I tried it I had to reformat the "BOOTCAMP" partition that it had created on my SSD because it wouldn't write to it as it was not formated in NTFS.  I spared 60gb for the Windows boot.  So after reformatting I went through with the installation again.  Now I get to the screen where it asks me what username, etc.  After I finish entering in my credentials it starts to say "preparing desktop" and then I hear a loud CLICK and the entire machine just reboots and takes me back to the blinking cursor.  Is this a common problem when trying to install windows? Thanks!

    Have you modified BC Info.plist? Can you verify that you a valid ISO using Microsoft FCIV tool?
    Your Windows 7 USB should have a directory structure similar to the following.

  • Problem installing Windows 8 via Bootcamp on MacBook Pro 13 (late 2009).

    Hello,
    I've installed Windows 8 Pro on my MacBook Pro 13 (Late 2009) which does not support Windows 8. I've started installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp, then interupted the installation and pluged-in the Windows 8 Disk, and after formating the partition, I've installed Windows 8 64-Bit.
    Here is the problem. The Windows works fine, BUT after restart when I hold 'Alt' and choose EFI Boot (Windows 8's partition), Windows 8 starts loading but then suddenly there is a white flash and it restarts again. So after shut down or restart I cannot boot it.
    Do you think that this is because I do not have Bootcamp installed on the Windows 8?
    I've downloaded the supported software for Windows 8, but when I click setup.exe, it is giving me the following error:
    This version of Bootcamp is not intended for this computer model. I've been trying to install it for more than 78 hours, so I'll be extremely gratefull to whoever help me. Thank you in advance.
    P.S. Mac OS X partition boots fine.

    If it is really not possible, I get it. But there are plenty of people that are running Windows 8 on the same model, that is powerfull enough to run Win 8. I'm actually running it, but until shut down or restart . Can't I edit Info.plst file alternative for Windows 8 like I did to allow BootCamp to image burn my USB on my model? I mean my model is same as the next one. I can't see why the drivers for mid 2010, won''t work on mine...

  • Windows 8 will not install via bootcamp. Please Help!

    Hello everyone. So I have a mid 2012 MBP with an ssd and then the hdd in the optical dirve's place. Im trying to bootcamp windows on my hdd. Ive created the partition for it via bootcamp (200gb). And for my install im using the windows 8 system builder disc i bought, in the super drive that came out of my mbp. Now the error im getting is that windows  "cannot create new partition or locate current one". Ive already formatted to NTFS. I even tried formatting the enitre hdd via cmd but sitll get the error no matter what. I read somewhere that its because I  have a usb plugged in. The issue is I have to since I no longer have the optical drive installed. Does anyone know how to get around this error or is my only option to reinstall my optical drive and install windows and then take it back out? I hope not because there is no way i will be doing that. Please help me. Thank You.

    1) Try connecting to a different USB port
    2) Try installing via USB flash drive. After you're finished creating the image, make sure to unplug your superdrive from the USB port and the only connected USB device is the flash drive. See below for instructions:

  • Midi latency on main stage 3

    MY PITCHBEND  AND MOD WHEEL HAS A MIDI LATENCY WHEN USING MAIN STAGE 3
    WHAT SHOULD  I DO?

    Have you tried connecting via USB instead of the Uno? If so, did you get the same result?

  • Adjustint Midi latency

    I know this has been asked a million times but despite RTFM and looking through the discussions I still can't make head nor tail of this:
    I'm running LP8 via a 003 Rack, I've just gotten back into improvising on the piano and thought I was going mad when all my riffs sounded late (I was convinced I was really out of practice!) To do a comparison, I played some stuff live using my piano (NI's Akoustik Piano and also one of the EXS24 ones) then super-imposed my stage piano's (which I use as a midi keyboard) internal piano patch over the top by wearing ipod earphones and my studio headphones together and was surprised to hear (but relieved I'm not that out of practice!) a massive amount of latency in my Logic/NI pianos. I can't give an accurate time as I can measure it but it feels around about a 1/2 second...
    Now the manual talks about PDC but from what I read this regarding plugin delay, rather than Midi delay? I've tweaked some settings around, such as reducing the buffer from 1024 to 256 samples, but still I have this Midi latency.
    My piano (Roland RD 700SX) has two modes of Midi transmission: MIDI and USB, both have the same amount of latency when playing back a Logic-based piano.
    Is there anything else I can try, as I can't really improvise with this level of latency! Any questions please ask....
    Cheers,
    Ben

  • Games on Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp run very slow

    I've installed a few games on Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2012), like Injustice: Gods Among Us and Darksiders 2 and they're running extremely slow. What should I do?

    After a lot of trial and error I have a repeatable process for installing Windows 8.1 on a 2014 MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.
    If you have a Windows 8.1 DVD, use Disk Utility to create an ISO image (DVD/CD Master). When done rename the extension to .iso
    Use Boot Camp to create a bootable USB that contains Windows 8.1 and Apples drivers (basically check all options). It doesn't matter if its USB 2 or 3, but it is a lot faster if USB 3
    Allow Boot Camp to create your Windows 8.1 partition
    IMPORTANT. When Boot Camp tries to reboot to begin the installation process, hold the Option key and select MacOS again. If you miss this, force a reboot, holding down Option
    Enter Disk Utility and delete the "BOOTCAMP" partition. To do this select the "BOOTCAMP" partition and click Minus
    Create a new partition in its place using the ExFAT partition type. Call it "BOOTCAMP"
    Reboot again holding Option, this time selecting the Windows USB
    When prompted for the partition to install Windows onto, select the one called "BOOTCAMP". It will complain that it isn't the right type. This is perfect. Select Format. Now click Continue
    Follow Microsoft's installation steps, ensuring that you allow the installer to finish. It will take a long time and appear to hang with "Almost ready". Just wait. It took about 30 minutes for me. It will automatically start Apples driver installation. Just follow the prompts

  • How do I get Windows 8.1, run via Bootcamp, to detect an external HDMI display

    Good afternoon,
    So earlier today, I managed to install Windows 8.1, via Bootcamp, on my 15' MBP retina with Iris pro 5200 integrated graphics (Late 2013). I cannot figure out how to get the dang thing to recognize my TV through an HDMI cable. I did have it kinda sorta working the first time I installed Windows on my MBP with bootcamp, but that installation failed. What do I need to do to fix this problem?
    Summary:
    Using a 15' MBP retina with Iris Pro 5200 graphics. This is not the model with the nvidia graphics card.
    This current installation seems to be working without too many problems.
    Windows 8.1 will not detect my tv, and yes, the HDMI cable is plugged into both the TV and the MBP.
    Why is Windows on my MBP failing? It seems like everything is set up properly.
    (I know I could do some weird combination of Thunderbolt to eventually HDMI, but I have not tried this)
    I simply want to plug an HDMI cable into my TV and my MBP.
    I do have a regular windows desktop, and this works without any problems (besides being windows)
    Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

    with my imac it worked as automatically as in OS X my video card is amd though and the monitor is dvi rather then hdmi

    You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
    Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation
