Live 5.0.2, 2 powerbooks g4 mac os x 10.4.2, no way to sync them via ethernet or airport with the Tiger midi config., I mean, they send and receive, but receive so much info tha the disks get overloaded with more than a 200% ... so we are not able to sync both laptops anymore (it worked fine a while ago, but I don't know if it's an apple issue after any of the system updates or if it's a bug on Live5.0.2!!???

if someone know something please let me know!!

Thanks guys!

what about MIDI???

Syncing two pbooks tiger 10.4.3
No Problems here must be something you are doing.

also syncing a mac (os 10.4.3) with a pc (winxp) isn't a problem.

Well, thanks guys... I think we've been using a diff. cable last time... gonna try everything again... I don't think it was a mistake... we've been using MIDI network on Tiger, session 1, bla bla bla, both laps recognizing each other... well... tell you back when i try that possible problem... a wire... thanks anyway

wow I didn't even know you could network computers to sync them, I thought it had to be midi... I'm retarded...

its new in tiger
check the audio midi setup, network is now a midi device.

so how could I midi sync my g4 mac and my compaq presario pc laptop? and would I still be able to use my firewire 410 if I was midi networking the 2 computers?

You can also sync laptops via wifi! (macs at least)

and john, off course you can still use your 410, but I don't know for sure if both firewire ports can both be used for connection a different laptop...

works good here..

Hi guys,

I'm a bit thick... I'll be using two mac's running Tiger soon, and I've figured out the syncing you describe here, I guess with an ethernet cable, but then what? How does Live sync the bpm of the two computers? All I want is to have a jam with my mate and making sure we're in time!
