Why won't audio/MIDI set up see my EWI?

Hi all, I have used an Akai breath controller for years but now I have a problem I can't seem to fix-the Akai info window has no 'Device is online'check box. Any ideas how to fix this? 10.8.3? I am still in 10.8.2 and want to move up but need to record the MIDI output of the Akai and I haven't read anything about 10.8.3 that would affect this. I have trashed the pref for set up but still no joy. I have repaired permisions and done spring cleaning but it just won't give me the option to put it online.
Is it that the Akai may be used as a multi timbral instr.? In the set up window all 16 channels both in and out are automatically seleted, however,I don't use the Akai as a multi timbral instr.-I send MIDI CC's over MIDI channel 1 to a chosen track instrument and MIDI channel 1 is shown as the channel it should use, entering through 'Port 1'. Is it because I have a MIDI cable in the oposite direction attached as well? This has never caused this problem before, and if I do want to upload a patch that midi out to the breath controller would have to be there to work.

Thanks again CCTM, I have been to a shop and replaced the Edirol[which does work in 10.6=has the right drivers] and bought a Roland UM-ONE only to discover it too won't work. I went to the Roland site and on the home page search field I put in UM-ONE driver Mac 10.8; that took me to a download page with about 645 different drivers for the UM ONE some had suffixes like fantom-x, I can't remember the rest, if you want me to I will look up that page and send a link,wait here is a link to the UM-ONE drivers-can you figure out which one is for advanced[flipping that switch will onlygive you advanced mode[MIDI] if the right driver is installed ]. Here is the link to the drivers
http://search.roland.com/en_all/search.x?q=UM+One+mk2&ie=UTF-8&page=1
I just got an email from the shop and they are contacting Roland to complain so no further reply needed unless you want this disscussion available to others who might look here, I must say I am a bit peeved that since you all know who I am my posts here are normally not read, at least not responded to. Don't let Ski know you helped me.
I just checked that link and saw that the search field contains only the terms UM-ONE you must add to what is there the terms Mac 10.8 to see the full glory hole of 645 drivers for one 1x1MIDI interface

Not working properly , long delays on sys pref , audio midi set up

The only thing i did recently was update to 10.6.6 and install adobe design suite cs5 ( so not much lol)
i first thought this was a log in programme so i deleted all start up items then creted a new account with admin authority but still the problem persists.
when starting my mac ( Nov 2008 ) once finder has loaded i click system preferences and the spinning ball appears for 2/3 mins before i can access and use the computer. same for audio midi set up.
as i said i have tried a new account and the problem still persists.
I have had a dodgy fire wire cable recently that has been force ejecting hd's but i have found and replaced , this problem is since 10.6.6 and adobe design collection

Redo the installation, omitting the COMBO, make a bootable backup of it, boot from the install disc, select the disk, repair it, and then one at a time, download the delta updates, examining the behavior until you can pinpoint what's causing the slowdowns. See

Why won't audio tracks play in order?

Yesterday I ripped 7 CD's of an audio recording of a meeting that I had purchased. I put them into a playlist with the correct order — disk 1, disk 2, etc., each disk having more than one track. However, when I play the playlist it does not play in order but jumps around. I did not use Shuffle to make it do that so I don't know why this is happening. I am wondering if it is because I did not manually number the tracks within each disk. Could that be a factor?

I've had this same problem. Copy To Play Order didn't work. Shuffle is off for everything. Tried deleting and re-synching. Nothing.
But I found this elsewhere that fixed everything:
Even when you don't have Shuffle pushed, your iPod automatically shuffles songs after you start the first song.
To turn this off, after selecting a song, tap the album cover. A menu appears with the time bar and another set of shuffle and repeat icons. Tap the shuffle button to turn shuffle off and the playlist with play in order.
I wouldn't have EVER thought to tap the album cover to find this hidden shuffle button. Now my playlist works perfectly. Yea!

Why won't my MN 5.5 see my 2 Repeater Bridge routers and there IP adresses on Map or Status?

Hi all,
My network is up and running awesome !!   I have a home router/gateway with several wired and wireless clients and 2 routers I have programed to Repeater bridges. All 3 units run DD-WRT. I have as my homeunit an E3000, 1 RP is a E2000 and the last RB is a WRT160nV3. The system is cool.
However,,,,,    MN 5.5 sees the units on the E3000, but does not see anything else. Status page the same....
Am I not setup right or perhaps MN is/was not ready for something like this?
PS       I have to connect 300 ft to the 160n and about 150 to the E2000. This is why I needed to setup my this way.
Thank you in advance for any reply. Perhaps there might just be a newer version that I do not have to make this work.
Jeff

In order to get the spriteNum sent to the frameScript, try altering your mouseUp handler to:
on mouseUp me
-- tell the frame script that this sprite was clicked
sendAllSprites(,#dialogEngine, me.spriteNum)
put "dialog behavior executed"
end
Your other problem/s I suspect are related to the tight repeat loops you involve in the #countTime and #loop handlers (I would suggest renaming your 'loop' hander to something that isn't a Director keyword). Altering your code to avoid these loops won't prove easy but is something you should try in a limited fashion to see if it helps.
Also, the updateStage() command is broken on the Mac platform - I forget details (whether only SW or projectors too) and this isn't documented in a TN anywhere either.

Why won't my mid 07 iMac shut down?

My 07 keeps hanging up, won't restart or shut down without holding the power button down.
I upgraded the ram, thought this would help, same outcome.
Any ideas?

Try turning off the anti-virus software to see if it makes a difference.
Generally speaking Macs only need anti-virus if you run Windows on it, or if you share files with Windows users.

Quicktime 7 and Audio MIDI bugs in 10.3.9

I posted this in the 10.3 audio forum and am trying here as well
I am having overloaded CPU issues that won't allow playback in Pro Tools 6.8 M-Powered and made Reaktor 5 unusable. Reason Adapted cannot access core MIDI. This issue has grown worse as the day has gone by. I have been trying to trace down what the problem is and from what I can see, Quicktime 7 (.0.1 -.0.2 - .0.3) has caused major audio bugs in 10.3.9 OS. The first problems I had was when I first installed QT7. So here is a list of symptoms.
I can't open MIDI set up in the Audio MIDI set up.
I get popping and high pitch oscillation in Pro Tools and Reaktor.
The oscillation is also audible from inside the computer (Yes, I know this is the CPU making the noise)
I cannot get playback in Pro Tools because of CPU overload or buffer size is to small (I have the buffer maxed)
I cannot use and external MIDI instruments due to crash of the set up
Digidesign (Pro Tools) just posted issue very similar to mine last week.
Native Instruments (Reaktor) tech support says there is an issue with g4 Power Books and the CPU but they aren't sure what is causing it.
Just a side note, On my G4 Desktop, All is well with QT6.5 and 10.3.9
On my G5 desktop All is well with QT 7.0 and 10.4.1
I am using G4 (Ti) Power Book that is almost 3 years old
512 RAM
1GZ CPU
a M-Audio Firewire 1814
a Lacie D2 160GB in the firewire800 port
I really think this is a Quicktime bug. If any one has figured out anything or wants to dig into this further....... I wish there was an un-installer for QT7.0.3 so I could go back to 6.5.2 and all would be fine. Below is the crash report of the Audio MIDI set up

Thank you Kirk for your reply and the solution. I couldn't find the .smil format option under Sys Prefs/QuickTime/Advanced MIME Settings, but then I realized I didn't install Real Player after the OS X upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.4.7. I installed Real Player and restarted the system. The speech file that was not working came alive with the Real Player icon intact.
I really appreciate your help and I look forward to reading your book on QuickTime in the near future.

10.6.2 USB headphones problem + puzzling Audio Midi Setup workaround

After updating to 10.6.2, my Logitech USB headphones started behaving strangely -- on two separate machines (a 2006 MacBook and a 2009 Mac Pro), so it's not a fault with the computer.
Symptoms:
1. no sound in Skype
2. no sound in YouTube
3. sound, but low volume levels in iTunes when volume is at highest setting
Audio output from the headphone jack and internal speaker remained normal, with no problems.
I knew enough to fiddle with Audio Midi Setup, and discovered the following. The problems described above remained whenever the volume controls for channels 1 and 2 were equal.
The minute the volume controls were set to different levels for the two channels, sound reappeared -- and the greater the disparity, the louder the overall volume coming to both ears. For example setting channel 1 to 0.83 value/-1.00 dB and channel 2 to 1.00 value/3.00 dB produces an adequate volume level overall (though I suppose it is coming at the cost of an actual inequality between the two stereo channels).
Am I correct to assume that I have uncovered a bug here? I had no such problems before 10.6.1.
Unfortunately, I don't have a second pair of USB headphones to test whether that makes a difference.

Update to my own message: It's not necessary to go to Audio Midi Setup to see the effect. In the Sound preference pane as well, setting the balance dead center causes the sound to go to zero, but unbalancing it in favor of either the left or right brings the sound back -- the more unbalanced, the louder.
Furthermore, the balance control does not actually reduce the volume to either ear when moved to the left or the right. That is, with balance all the way to the left, I get louder volume...out of both ears.
No such problem when playing through the regular headphone jack.

ITunes and Audio Midi settings for digital output sampling frequency

Most of my music is sampled at the CD standard of 44.1 kHz, but some is 48 kHz.
I have Audio Midi set to output 48 kHz with 24-bit depth.
I've been told that to avoid having iTunes up-sample when playing 44.1 kHz music, that I need to quit iTunes, manually reset the setting in Audio Midi to the lower, matching, number, and then re-start iTunes.
This strikes me as odd. Is it true? If so, is there any less cumbersome way to deal with this?

Wheat I agree entirely with your last sentiments.
I had a similar problem to 'Luckydog'.
I have a Roland HP3 digital piano which itself is a standalone musical instrument (synthesiser if you like) but also has midi in/out and audio in/out.
I made the mistake of connecting my Mac PBG4/GB2 setup to my HP3 via the Edirol UM2 USB interface, expecting to hear my piano's sounds recorded in GB2. Of course GB2 did not record anything when I selected real instrument track beacuse the Roland, I think, was sending audio not midi data to GB2. What I have since realised is that to record a real instrument whether it be a digital piano (or acoustic piano via microphone) is to set the GB2 input to audio and feed the signal from the Roland via its audio outputs to my Mac via audio interface. (I have a USB Grifin iMic).
Of course I could use the Roland purely as a midi controler and select a software instrument track in GB2, but I also have a Radium 49 simple midi controller keyboard for that.
One thing that does puzzle me though is, that if I hook up my Roland via the UM2 to a WindowsXP laptop running an app. called Cakewalk Music Creator, the Roland sounds are recorded in the timeline and can be viewed, edited and printed as conventional music scores(great for composers!!) Also the Roland track recorded in CMC can be played back through the Roland's on-board sound generator.
In this scenario there is no audio feed between the Roland and the PC only two way midi via the UM2 USB/midi interface.
This is seems to be a fundamental difference between GB2 and the Cakewalk product. Can you explain what's going on hear Wheat?.
Sorrry such a long post !!

Audio midi setup issue.

I want to create an aggregate device using audio midi setup, as I have seen can be done here for example, and yet I have the problem that my Audio midi set up does not look like this at all. I'm assuming I have an older version (i am using a macbook 3,1) is there a way I can either update my audio midi set up or create an aggregate device in the version I have?
Thanks, Joe

Hello, I am also having problems with the 10.8.2 Audio/MIDI set up. It shows all my MIDI devices but one-an Akai Breath Controller, when showing the info window for it there is no box for putting it online.
It is in the MIDI window and hovering over the icon shows that the breath controller[ which is plugged into the audio/MIDI interface-an Edirol UA-25 which does show up as online] is conected to the Edirol by cables both ways.
I wrote to Roland and was sent new drivers for 10.6 and up and they work I think, because I an hear the VSTi I am controlling with the Akai, but Logic shows no input while playing the Akai through the EDirol.
The link is broken and a search on this site for How to combine multiple audio interfaces brings up nothing,and this problem of mine is all MIDI.
When I playback a project the MIDI all sounds fine so I think the problem is Apples Audio/MIDI set up not the Edirol interface.

Using a radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV. Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?

I want to use a FM radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV (by using the synchronizing function). Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?
Why don't use iTunes? Because this just needs to many handling in order to get it where i want it (in general, this whole idea of doing everything online just works likes... ). An app is easier (that's why it is invented).

Hey AKfishgirl,
Thanks for the question. The common variable here is your Wi-Fi router. Let’s check to see if the commonly used ports are being blocked by a firewall on your router:

Won't Change Back to Regular Audio After Setting "Encoded Digital Audio"

I have a first generation Mac Pro, and I've just recently upgraded to Lion. I used to play a fair bit of DVDs on the computer, but recently I've slacked off doing that. Today I popped in a DVD to play and then opened DVD Player up. Everything worked fine as it was supposed to. I've got the DVD player set to send digital audio out so I can get surround sound through my receiver. When I quit DVD player I don't get sound anymore through the optical out unless it's encoded digital audio. I've had that problem before, and to solve it I'd go to Audio Midi Setup and change the format to what it was prior to being set to "Encoded Digital Audio" by DVD Player. However, now with the upgrade to Lion it will not switch back. The option to do it is there, and I can click on 16, 20, or 24bit audio all day long and I won't get audio output from that port unless I restart the computer.
This is obviously a system bug that needs to be reported to Apple if they aren't aware of it already, but what I'm wanting to know is how can I avoid restarting to get audio back? Restarting Core Audio doesn't do the trick as I've already tried that.

From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
Otherwise, try a hard reset as well. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Why won't QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 open my MIDI files?

Have QT Pro 7.0.4, OS 10.4.6, Safari 2.0.3 on eMac computer. Downloaded MIDI from Classical Music Archives but file won't open. When try to open it, get message on eMac screen "QT cannot open the file tmcpsolf.mid It is not a file that QT understands (-2048)". I could open MIDI files from any source easily in OS 9.0.4 with QT Pro.
I checked MIME settings in QT preferences, and MIDI is checked as "on".
Also can't open MIDI file in eMac of piano music I saved on floppy disk from my Yamaha digital piano MIDI recorder. Get same message as above.
What can I do to get QT to open and play MIDI? Thank you.
eMac Mac OS X (10.4)

Hello,
Sorry for such a long message, but I want to make sure you have all the correct information. Issue #1 is still unsolved. Issue #2 I solved (see below).
Issue #1: QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 won't open Midi files created by external Midi recorder. QT does not recognize Midi file.
Just to clarify, I have a digital piano without USB, so I can't connect the piano to my new eMac to record my music with a suitable computer based Midi recorder/synthesizer and related program. This is my first attempt at recording Midi on an external, not computer based Midi recorder.
I have never tried to use any Midi recording process with my old iMac, OS 9.0.4, QuickTime 5.x
A few days ago I purchased an old (but new, never been used), Midi recorder which does not have USB but it connects to my piano to record as Midi what I play and save on its built in floppy disk. I use the in and out Midi portals on my piano and Midi recorder to send signals back and forth to the recorder, and play the music back in the piano so I can hear what I just played. That part works fine. The recorder is limited to only one Midi track per file for
recording music.
The floppy is MicroSoft DOS format which I initialized with the recorder before using it per the recorder's manual.
After recording several Midi files in the floppy, I wanted to hear them in my eMac and e-mail them. I assumed the Midi format would be recognized by eMac, regardless of the MicroSoft DOS format of the floppy, and that QuickTime would open them. Isn't .mid a generic extension recognized by Mac and QT as a Midi file?
The eMac displayed the Midi files (.mid) on the desktop (I used Imation SuperDisk external floppy drive to transfer the Midi files to eMac). When I double clicked on these files to open them, I got the message I quoted above in my first posting, that QuickTime did not recognize the Midi file.
Perhaps my recorder has some sort of code it assigns to the Midi it records that the Mac and/or QuickTime can't recognize? Or QT won't recocgnize a one track Midi file?
Do you have any guess as to why QT won't recognize my .mid files?
Issue #2: QT won't open Midi music I download from classicalarchives.com
This issue I solved a few hours ago - see below.
In my old iMac, OS 9.0.4 I would double click and listen to Midi music files at classicalarchives.com or any other url via QuickTime Pro 5.x, no problems.
I also downloaded, saved and opened them with QT 5.x
In new eMac, when I double click the Midi file on web, QT automatically opens usual player window and I can listen to Midi OK.
When I save file as "Source" from the above QT window, it is a Midi file (.mid) which QT will not open on the desktop, I get identical "not recognized" message I get with Midi recorder files.
I found a solution to opening and hearing the downloaded file as follows:
When I save Midi file via QT player window as "QuickTime Movie" (.mov), I can open it with QT and listen to it. So, Issue #2 is solved in order to listen to the Midi I download.
Thank you for your time and trouble. Please advise re Issue #1 before we close this case as "unsolved".

Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

- Reset the dock
- Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
Also look for a firmware update.
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Or, it just may not be compatible.

Why won't audio/MIDI set up see my EWI?
