My Powerbook is not recognising any midi devices - HELP
My Powerbook is not recognising any of my midi devices.
It simply is not receiving midi
When I go to the Audio MIDI devices section it does not see the devices I have plugged in and then 'unexpectedly quits'. It's quit on me so many times now it is no longer 'unexpected' and more 'damn annoying'.
Anyway... I was trying to add a new MIDI device but this does seem like the impossible
I'm actually trying to get my Powerbook to see my UC-33. My G5 sees it no worries at all.
Strange thing with my powerbook, if I plug in say my Ozonic it sees it as an audio device and it works fine but it won't receive midi from it.....
Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly apprecaited

there is a known issue with mac software update buggering with the audio/midi setup which I had on my power book: its related to your m-audio drivers
try this:
solution:
1. open the m-audio firewire driver installer. if you dont have it you can download it from the m-audio site.
2. the installer has an uninstall option within it. choose this and uninstall the driver.
3. restart
4. run the installer again, but this time install the driver.
5. restart.
I know its a hassle but it does work... you would think that in this day and age blah blah blah I can remember when all this was fields
i have these instructions as a bookmark in my browser!

i would get strange midi occurences due to my usb powered hub in conjunction with certain controllers. it is finicky about the kontrol49 keyboard . it had to be plugged direct into my powerbook. if you are using a hub, try different plugging the cables in different places. i lucked upon something that works and it seems that if i try to change it , it cries like a baby.

Midi Connection Problem
Did you solve your problem? I have the thing going on now. my system profiler recognizes my midi devices, but audiomidi setup and live don´t. What did you do?
