Why am I getting distortion from my audio interface while using Logic 9 on my new iMac with Maverick?

I have been recording using a line 6 UX2 interface and also, a Focusrite iTrack Solo interface, successfully with Logic 9 on my 2007 MBP for a few years now.  I recently bought a new iMac and migrated my time machinre back up to the iMac.  Since then I have had to maunually replace missing sound and room evironment files, and now I cannot get a clean mic recording using either interface or either of my two mics.
Any suggestions?

I assume you have an iMac with a fusion drive? If so, contact Apple. Audio dropouts on these machines even occur in iTunes.

    I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out.  I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs.  I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store.  But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions.  I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
    Any ideas?

    To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

  • Why do I get "can't access device" message while using Safari?

    I am traveling in Mexico with my friend who has a Sony Vaio running Vista. I have a white MacBook (early 2008) running OS X 10.5.6. We choose hotels offering wireless internet, and my friend has no trouble anywhere, where I have trouble everywhere. BIG disappointment, since I'm always bragging on Apple. I have the feeling I my have done something dumb with the internet connection utility in "System Preferences"- could that be it?
    Some questions about what has been happening:
    A) why does "internet" (the utility in sys pref) sometimes tell me that I am connected when Safari says I am not?
    B) Other times it tells me I'm not connected when Safari is the process of connecting successfully.
    C) Why does it say I need a password when I don't? THIS IS THE MOST CONSISTENT MISTAKE IT MAKES
    D)When I do need a password it often says "password invalid" when I type correct one.
    E) I get "could not open communication device" WHILE Apple.com is actually loading! and even after I have been using it for 5 or so minutes.
    Finally, if I have to re-install Safari, can I do it on line? (provided I can get on line).

    Try resetting the App Store.

  • Can't update Reader from 9.5.5 to 11.0.10 in my iMac with Mavericks

    I have an Early 2008 iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with OS 10.9.5. Adobe Reader 9.5.5 is currently installed and I should be able to update to version 11.0.10. When I check for updates in the installed Reader it clams my version is current. If I go to the adobe.com site download it indicates that I should download version 11.0.10. When I attempt to do so I receive a non-specific error message (no error code) to contact the vendoror something like that. Any suggestions?

    For reasons I will n ever understand your suggestion worked! If I go directly to adobe.com, the update URL I get is <https://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=KLXME>. The URL in your message is <https://get.adobe.com/reader/?no_ab=1>. While both Adobe web pages look identical, yours managed to produce a workable Installer. The URL I used did not. Regardless, I now have Adobe Reader 11.0.10 installed. I also observed that the new installation did not remove the old Adobe Reader and I ended up dragging it to the Trash. Hopefully, the other 9.5.5 bits-and-pieces that were left behind will not create any problems. Thank you for your suggestion!

  • I am having trouble installing (from disk) CS6 for Mac.  I have a new imac with SO 10.8.4.

    This is a screen shot of the error screen:  I have all other applications closed.  I still have CS4 installed for safety.  Any ideas?

    Have you reset the SMC?
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

    DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's.  Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

    I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
    It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

  • Anchor points move and entire shape gets distorted from changing stroke thickness

    I have a fairly simple drawing that I drew at a larger size so I could be precise with it, and now I want to reduce it down to the finished size, and thicken the stroke, but when I make the stroke thicker, my anchor points move and the entire drawing gets distorted.
    In 24 years of using Adobe Illustrator, I've never seen this happen. When I click on the "up" arrow on the Stroke palette a bunch of times to incrementally increase the stroke thickness, I can watch the anchor points "walk" around as my shape gets distorted.
    If I instead enter a numerical value for the stroke thickness, this doesn't happen.
    However, if I use the Scale tool to shrink the drawing down to 10% or 20% size or whatever, with Scale Strokes and Effects UNCHECKED, again, the anchor points move and the drawing is distorted.
    This is all on a brand new installation of Illustrator CS 6 for Mac (though I've been using CS 6 for about 2 years now, my hardrive crashed this past weekend and I had to reinstall everything).
    Did I miss a little checkbox somewhere that I've never seen before that's making this happen?
    Editing this post to add:
    Also, some of the objects in my drawing will not allow me to change the stroke to less than 1 point thickness. If I choose .5 or .25 pt from the pop-up menu, or even if I enter the numerical value, it jumps back to 1 point. Other objects in the drawing do not.
    These objects in question are "rounded rectangle" shapes that I've used the scissor tool on to cut and then used the "join" command to put them together with parts of other shapes that were "scissored' as well.
    All of the "Ellipse" and "Rounded Rectangle" shapes that I left intact do not exhibit this problem with stroke and distortion.

    You are being bitten by the Align-to-Pixel-Grid. Select everything and go to the Transform panel and turn off Align-to-Pixel-Grid at the bottom of the panel; then go to the panel flyout (small triangle, upper right) and turn off Align Objects to Pixel Grid.

  • How to get batch recognition of (!) on some tracks after moving library from external hard drive to new iMac (with terabyte hard drive)?

    I'm using Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.2
    I have moved my iTunes music from an external hard drive onto my new iMac (with a terabyte hard drive) with music folder organized - when I try to play some tracks I get the iTunes can't locate warning and so I follow through and show iTunes the track - they are all in the music folder on my iMac hard drive - they all copied over and they all appear in the iTunes library list - so far as I can tell out of a 500 gigabyte music collection - but there are so many giving me the error - many other tracks function as they should too, some work others don't - So I'm looking for a way to get all the error tracks fixed in a batch correction way. Doing this individually with each track just isn't realistic.
    Can anyone suggest how I might fix this issue?
    Also, after I show iTunes the song location and it plays, I get a find files prompt that looks like it wants to find other files, but that just causes the process to jam and I have to force quit iTunes and then it doesn't remember what I last showed it next time I open iTunes.
    Also I'm trying to avoid the use of the consolidate function because that would copy a whole other set of music - not in iTunes - that is in the process of being edited (audio hijack pro and fission tools being used to put vinyl and tapes to mp3) But all that other music just means the consolodate function across my whole computer would be too much.

    Some details seem to be coming into focus - I have started scrolling through the main library list A to Z repairing tracks individually (there are thousands, but it's what works so far) - as I work through, it appears the problem occurred on tracks where album artist metadata was different than song artist metadata, predominantly. I'm not sure that is 100% the case in every instance, but that is what it's looking like. I don't why that happened, must be some technical glich I guess.
    Also, I tried running Doug's Scripts - the one titled, iTunes Track CPR v1.3 - it is supposed to fix exactly the kind of issue I'm having - I bet it would work for some people with a similar issue - but for my case it only identifies the 'de-linked' tracks and doesn't repair them - that is at least helpful as I scroll though to fix them - I can see exactly which tracks have the issue quickly after running that script - but iTunes doesn't remember that warning symbol after a log-out, so it's only worth running the script on a set of tracks I intend to review and fix in any given session at a time.
    If you are interested, Doug's free scripts can be found at
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    there are other interesting and useful iTunes scripts there too...
    also, unrelated to the issue I'm having, I found a lot of really useful and time saving metadata fixing free scripts at - hubi's iTunes scripts - the page isn't English, but the script download is easy to find -
    hubi's scripts work for batch selections of tracks - so if you import an album and find the metadata screwed up somehow, you can select the whole set of screwed up tags at once (even across a series of albums), run the easy to use script, and watch it all be fixed automatically while you sit back and relax...
    http://hubionmac.com/wordpress/category/softwareschmiede/applescripting/itunes/
    just for reference, here is a sampling of what hubi's scripts can do...
    there are other useful scripts out there - the tough part can be finding the one that helps you...
    01-(un)capitalizes
    01-(un)capitalizes
    This script changes.... THIS TEXT into This Text... or this text
    01-Delete spaces
    Sometimes invisible blanks are behind an artist name or album name...this script deletes these blanks behind or infront of the strings
    01-Delete x first-last chars. of Title
    A Name like "01--Ray Of Light" will be changed to "Ray Of Light" and the01 will be entered in the tracks tracknumber id3 field =)
    01-fix combined Artist-Title
    Sometimes Tracknames look like:
    "Madonna---Ray of Light" and in the artist field you see something like"Ripped by Me"... this script puts Madonna back to the right field... all youhave to do is to enter the right delimiter ("---" in this case)
    01-switch Artist<->Title...
    Switch ID3 field a with ID3 field b (not only Artist with Title any more =)!
    01-z_filename ->Title
    Sets the ID3 field Title to the track's filename)
    01-z_trackNr-Filename->ID3
    When a track's filename look like "01-Madonna-Ray of Light.mp3" andyou don't have the track's tracknumber stored in the ID3 Tag... this Scriptcan do this for your =)

  • How do I get signal from my Roland Fantom G8 to Logic Studio or GarageBand?

    My computer recently crashed, and since then I have not been able to record any music into either Logic Studio or GarageBand.  I need to get back up and running ASAP, as I'm in the middle of recording music for 5 different projects.  Here's all the gear that I have:
    -1 Roland Fantom G8
    -1 iMac with Logic Studio and GarageBand
    -1 M-Audio Fast Track Ultra
    -2 Rokit KRK Monitors
    -1 USB cable
    -1 midi cable
    -2 1/4-inch cables
    -2 1/4-in to XLR cables
    The 2 1/4-inch cables run from Balanced Outputs 1 and 2 on the back on the Fantom G8 into Inputs 1 and 2 on the back of the Fast Track Ultra.  The 2 1/4-inch to XLR cables run from the back of the 2 KRK monitors into Outputs 1 and 2 on the back of the Fast Track Ultra.  The Fast Track Ultra is powered via USB cable that runs into a USB port on the back of my iMac.  The midi cable runs from the "Computer" port on the back of the Fantom G8 into a USB port on the back of my iMac.  This is the exact set-up I had before my computer crashed, and I was able to record just fine.  When I open up the audio preferences on either Logic Studio or GarageBand now, it recognizes the Fast Track Ultra; however, it does not recognize the Fantom G8.  What I'm trying to do is get signal from my Fantom G8 into both Logic Studio and GarageBand.  I also want that sound to then project through my KRK monitors.  I also want to be able to record audio and midi.  Please help me!!!

    I used the Fantom for several years and did exactly what you want to do. I simply plugged my Fantom into a channel on my mixer, in your case the 003. I ran a firewire out of my mixer (Presonus Studio Live) into my computer using Logic Pro X. Then I just assigned that incoming channel to a channel strip in Logic. As an example I used stero channel 9/10 on my mixer, (plugged in the Fantom here). Then the signal went via my mixer firewire to computer running Logic. I assigned my channel strip input to channel 9/10.
    Does this make sense?
    I just sold my Fantom last week and purchased a new Yamaha Motif XF8. Now I am trying to figure out the same thing on it.

  • Pop Noise from Audio Out While Using iTunes 9.0.1

    I have a black MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.0.1. I have a a pair of computer speakers plugged to the MacBook's audio out minijack. Every time I run iTunes to play my music everything goes fine until I stop the music (you know with the space bar or the stop button). 30 seconds after I stop the music a loud pop noise comes up and stops, as if some electrical device was receiving a charge of electricity. When I play music back again on iTunes, the same noise comes up again with the music and goes away immediately while the music continues all right.
    This is what I have done so far:
    Change my energy saving parameter to several different configurations (perhaps the hard drive stopping when unused was the cause) but none fix it.
    Turned off Airport...did not fix it
    I timed the pop noise and it happens exactly 30 seconds after I stop my music on iTunes and then again 30 seconds after music has been stopped unless I start playing the music back again and the pop noise sounds again.
    Any help would be appreciated as I use my MacBook to play music sequences for my band (I am the drummer) so the darn noises come through our PA system (and I also tried my small computer speakers and it does the same thing).
    Thanks,

    I spent a good amount of time reading several discussions. Apple is aware of this issue but no solution as of yet. The popping noise is "normal" behavior and happens because of how the sound system is programmed in the computer.
    The solution (sorry for the bad news) is to not use the audio out minijack at all. Instead, get an audio interface that connects to your USB port and then route the output signal from your audio interface to your speakers, headphones or PA system. The popping noise will not sound. I tested it several times.
    If the only cable you have is a minijack male type then go to Radio Shack and get adapters. I had to get me an adapter that takes two RCA males and converts them to a female minijack type.
    Good luck.

  • How can I periodicaly get data from a CAN interface that works in "Transmit by response" mode??

    Hello Again!
    I am a very new user of LabView, and last week I got the order to implement a Comunication with  a CAN interface.
    I am trying to get Information from a CAN interface, that works as a "slave", as it is said in the very short handbook. This means it only responds, when it is asked to.
    As i want to get the 20 different datas periodicaly it would be fine to do this in a kind of loop. This means:
    -tell the interface to send data1
    -read data 1
    -tell the interface to send  data 2
    Are there any examples or ideas, how to create similar loops? 
    As I am absolutely no expert in computing, it would be nice if you answer with very little technical terms...
    Thanks RT

    Hi RT,
    Try the attached example, which writes a remote frame to your slave and reads the response. It is doing this 20 times in a for loop and a specified timing.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a template?

    Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.
