Wireless MIDI Keyboard

Thought a few of you might be interested in M-Audio's newest release:
The new MidAir line of wireless USB MIDI controllers and interfaces—including the MidAir 25 and MidAir 37 controllers
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MidAir25-main.html

I'm not overly impressed - a lot more money just to save that cable? It's not your typical stage keyboard, but the one that is always sitting right next to your computer to edit tracks.

Logitech wireless solar keyboard K750 for MAC OSX OS 10x8x

is the logitech wireless solar keyboard K750 an acceptable paring choice for the MAC OS X Mountain Lion OS 10x8x

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution.
Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

Wireless MIDI out/Audio In app??

I have a USB keyboard that's right over the other side of my room - I use my iPad with it as a sound module, but I've also got some software instruments on my Mac that I like to use with it. I can connect my USB keyboard to my Mac wirelessly using the iPad to send wireless MIDI data but I was wondering if there was an app that would also let me receive wireless audio back (I realise there'd be some lag involved but hopefully not too much??)
Does anybody know of such an app?

Did you check your track or channel strip to see if the mute button is on?

How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

HT4106 How do I use a midi keyboard on GarageBand with my iPad? When I try it says the device cannot be used as it requires too much power. However, I have given the midi it's own power source.

How do I use a midi keyboard as an input device on garageband? Its an oxygen 61 board. I'm using an iPad camera connection kit and a separate power source for the midi but each time it says it cannot use the midi as it requires too much power.

I have the same problem with my iPad and 61. Sometimes it says device not supported and sometimes it rants about power - any solutions anyone ?

Apple wireless BT keyboard with TEXT MESSAGING?

I know that I can sync the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard with the my iPhone 4, but I just want to verify that it will work with text messaging, in addition to the usual email, etc. apps. Frankly, that's the main reason I need it. I messed up my elbow from texting so much. I don't want to, but I MUST text a lot, so I figured I'd get the keyboard to save elbow injuries. Sounds silly -- lugging around a wireless keyboard in order to text... but it actually wouldn't be so bad. I do a lot of texting from my house, anyway.
One more thing -- The wireless keyboard can only be paired with one device at a time, right?

The Bluetooth keyboard will work with the messaging application.
I know I always turn the Bluetooth off on the iPhone so when I pull out my keyboard it is a bit of a pain in the ***. Granted I only use it with long emails on the road that would take an hour to write with the keyboard on the iPhone, so it's not too bad. The iPad dock keyboard will also work with the iPhone and iOS4.x so if you need a keyboard and don't want to deal with the Bluetooth than that is an option too, just a thought.
As far as the Bluetooth keyboard goes it can only be paired with one device at a time.

Can I use more than one midi keyboard?

I'm curious If I can run more than one midi application, is this possible?

In Logic, yes.

Yes. you have to set up the Midi, pslit it up between the applications. e.g. channels 1-8 to app 1, and channels 9-16 to app 2.
Then select the channels according to what application you want to play.

IMac won't recognise USB MIDI keyboard in Audio MIDI Setup

I upgraded earlier in the week from a G4 eMac to a new Intel iMac. All appeared well until I tried to use my Evolution MK-361 USB midi keyboard from inside Logic. No midi events were coming through the system.
After some fiddling around I found the Audio MIDI Setup utility and the keyboard is not listed as a device in there. However, if I open System Profiler and select the USB information I can see that the keyboard is connected. According to the E-Magic web site this model of keyboard is class compliant and so shouldn't need a driver installed.
Originally I had the keyboard plugged into a USB hub. I've tried restarting the machine, restarting the machine with the cable plugged into different USB ports and different USB cables plugged into different USB ports. I've also downloaded all the latest OS / firmware / application updates and installed them.
I reconnected the keyboard to my old eMac and it shows up on there so I know it's not a fault in the keyboard itself.
The only other bits of gear connected to the machine are a Lacie external hard drive and my Saffire but these are firewire device so I wouldn't expect them to cause a problem (they certainly didn't on the eMac).
If anyone has any ideas I would seriously appreciate the help. As you can imagine I'm pretty gutted having forked out a grand for the machine.
Cheers

iMac (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Jon
So much for plug and play
Yeah, it's great isn't it?
I emailed M-Audio tech support about it and apparently it's a known problem in 10.4.8 and they're waiting for a fix from Apple. I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for OS updates and go rummaging under the stairs for a midi cable instead.
Ho hum.

I'm not sure how old it is, but it is covered for 1 full year as long as it didn't take that 19 story dive.

Wireless mouse/keyboard intermittent dis-connects

In the last three days, I have looked at over 20 different posts regarding wireless mouse/keyboard disconnect problems. Thew fixes ranged all over the board and NONE fixed it. And, none of these problems matched mine exactly, except for one other. I too, have two iMacs and this problem has over the last few days gotten increasingly worse and irritating. Regardless of what you're doing, whether it is actual productive work, or playing a stupid game on your computer, when your mouse quits responding, and the graphic flashed on the screen "MOUSE DISCONNECTED", it irritates.
I think a senior apple tech finally pin-pointed the problem, at least for my two systems. It has nothing at all to do with Bluetooth or Wireless networking. I tried ALL of those fixes including resetting the SMC. None fixed it.
Here is what the tech had me do. Under System Preferences > Users & Groups > My Login, I then clicked on "Login items. I was astounded to see a list that exceeded the size of the window of "startup" programs that have been installed from iTunes Helper, to Dropbox to blah, blah, blah. You name it. He had me remove ALL of them except iTunes Helper. one item "Connect service (all users) could not be removed. However, as we later discussed, the specific item the I believe to be the culprit was "Bittorrent". I've forgotten what I downloaded that used that as the download agent, but in the future, I shall NEVER AGAIN use it for ANY reason. I also removed from the applications area, some non-used programs (that probably weren't the problem, but...), emptied the trash, re-booted and have not had the problem since. I want to stress here, that if your problem is actually Bluetooth or Wireless network related, this will not fix it. However, my mouse had gotten really molassesy in that when I would try to quickly move from one spot to another on the screen, it took some time to catch up, as if something else had control. That's what I think Bittorrent or someone trying to share one of my files was causing. I don't share my files. Period. I didn't realize that it could be subverted to that use of I wouldn't have ever used it in the first place.
Anyway, neither one of my iMacs has exhibited ANY of the former symptoms since clearing that list on each system. Turns out, my second iMac also had Bittorrent in the list. That's about the only thing the two have in common besides Yosemite 10.10.3. Maybe this will help, maybe it won't. I sure hope it does. Forums like this one are extremely helpful to me.

I had the same problem... didn't find anything useful in the forums. Just on a whim, I went to the
Control Panel | Device Manager | Universal Serial Bus Controllers
For each "Hub", right click and select "properties"
On each properties page, select "Power Management" tab
On each power management tab "uncheck" the "Allow the computer to turn off..."
I did this for the Generic USB Hubs, the USB Root Hubs, and the Reneasas...Hub. After that was completed, all USB ports started working immediately. So far, they are staying working but it has only been an hour or so. Will report back if this doesn't stick. Also, there may be a more elegant solution... but this works for now.

Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Troubleshooting

If you're having issues with your Apple Wireless (Aluminum) Keyboard disconnecting, there are a few things you can try.
First, check your wireless network configuration to see if you can avoid interference. See this post in another topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5783742#5783742
Although I did have success with tweaking my wifi setup, my keyboard disconnect problem returned again a couple of weeks ago. I had recently upgraded to Leopard (10.5.1) which may have contributed - although I had been using wired ethernet, and switched back to wifi around the same time as my Leopard upgrade.
Like others have posted, I also noticed the bluetooth daemon log errors in my system log. To look for them, you can open console.app, and search for "blued" in the system.log and also its archive history. Here's an example:
+Jan 25 09:17:22 Macintosh-2 kernel[0]: IOBluetoothHCIRequest::Create [0x55da000] Request OpCode 0000 Generated by: blued (47) status: 0 timeout 1000. has a too small timeout, a reasonable value would be 5000 (5 seconds)+
Here are some other things to try. You should only try one at a time - so that you can tell which change fixed your problem.
1. In the Bluetooth System Preferences panel, unpair your keyboard, and re-pair it again
2. Also in the Bluetooth System Preferences panel, add the keyboard to your favorites. To do this in Leopard: select the keyboard in the bluetooth devices list. Click on the tasks cog at the foot of that pane (just beside the plus and minus). Select "Show more info". Select "Add To Favorites".
3. Reset the bluetooth preferences by moving system preference files. Warning: only try this if you are comfortable using the OS X terminal!! :
sudo mv /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist.old
sudo mv /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.old
(you will need to enter your password at least once, and then will need to restart your machine).
Keep a log of all the things you've tried. If none of these work, its probably time to call AppleCare. If you have one of the new Apple (Aluminum) Wireless Keyboards, it is still covered by warranty at this point.

It sounds like the bluetooth in both of your keyboards has simply died. If it's still under warranty (if it has one), take it to the apple store and show them. They may give you a new one. For future reference, the new wired USB keyboard is now exactly the same as the wireless (except that it has a wire), and you won't face any bluetooth issues like that. You can get the new wired keyboard here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB869LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=NDE4NjI4Mg
Also, if you're willing to spend a bit more money, Macworld rated the Logitech DiNovo Edge Keyboard very highly. Here's a link to that:

Hope this helps.

Wireless PRO Keyboard - no longer works on G4 10.4.11 but does on iMac 10.6

Wireless Pro keyboard will no longer pair with my wireless mouse. My G4 w/dongle, will recognize my wife's new iMac keyboard in another room. The Pro board works fine on the iMac, which confuses the dickens out of me?
Tried deleting pref files for Bluetooth, but all that did was get the iMac board to be found and now no longer finds the Pro board. The wireless mouse works fine.
Background: spilled some Cabernet on the Pro board, but I'm certain it didn't fry it. Took it apart and cleaned it as good as new, but neither of my bluetooth dongles (D-Link DBT-120s) are no longer able to get it to pair up?
Considering it has no issue at all with the iMac I'm wondering it the dongles are too old an architecture and I need to get a newer version of bluetooth adapter?

The Magic Mouse is not compatible with your operating system. See here, at the bottom:
http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/
I imagine that your new wireless keyboard, if it's Apple branded, is this one, which is also not compatible with your OS:
http://www.apple.com/keyboard/
Again, the system requirements are on that page. They should also have been on the boxes at the store or on the web site before you bought them.
You need to upgrade to either 10.5 (Leopard; call the Apple phone sales line, as there are no more available in stores) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard; available everywhere Mac software is sold).

Macbook no longer recognizes my midi keyboard

Hello folks. I'm having this problem where my macbook no longer recognizes my midi keyboard (M-Audio Radium 61.) I've had it working fine in the past through this midi to usb converter, and now the usb converter still lights up and shows data flowing when I have it plugged in, but for some reason the computer just doesn't seem to see it. The macbook also doesn't see this aggregate device I had working the other day too. But it sees other aggregate devices that are made up of the same outboard audio interfaces I have. Sunday was the first time I had my whole setup working with the keyboard running into Reason, out to Ardour via Jackpilot and out through my audio interface via the aggregate device (which is actually just made up of the inputs and outputs of my M-Audio FastTrack Pro because for some reason the computer sees them as separate devices... different point of contention...) Anyway, so now today was the first time I tried to set it all up the same way again since Sunday and I can't get them working. Any thoughts?

Use a data recovery product such as the ones listed here, and then get a replacement drive.
