APC 40 cannot setup for life of me!

IV'E TRIED EVERY COMBO OF ALL THE AUTOMAP STUFF TOO AND WITHOUT IT AND ABLETON SHOWS NO MIDI RECIEVING INPUT. THE LIGHT DOESNT FLASH. PLEASE HELP IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! THANKS
Re: APC 40 cannot setup for life of me!
Have you set it up as a control surface in the fields at the top of the MIDI sync page? Above the normal MIDI settings. "Control Surface", "Input" and "Output" should all read APC40 (although for some reason on our old work PCs it reads as "AKAI USB audio device" in the input and output fields although it works just fine).
If you don't see this then use the drop arrows to select APC40. You don't need to map it in the MIDI fields unless you are doing some kind of custom MIDI mapping.
Sorry can't post a pic the APC40 is at work and I am at home!

Doesnt need sync settings, just remote turned on for input and output, and have it as a control surface in the top six slots, which slot you choose defines the colour of the rectangle...

Troubleshooting...
If the in/out preferences are setup ok as above, that could leave:
USB Lead not plugged in/broken
USB port on computer broken
APC power supply not plugged in/broken
APC power switch not turned on
