Hi 9thcloud,

if Midi ports appear orange that indicates that they are not available/used by another program.

Does your problem still persist? If so: please contact support@ableton.com with your log.txt file included.

Here´s how to access the log.txt:
- choose 'Get Support' from the help menu
- in help view, click on ' Show Preferences Folder'

Please send the file as a .zip attachment.

Best,

Jörg

I had sort of the same problem when one day i could not use most of my midi inputs. I my case it had something to do with my novation remote software that had been upgraded. What worked for me is this; make a screenshot of your current midi configuration so you will remember what it was. Now remove all midi settings. Quit live, start it again and enable only one input. See if that works and then enable them one by one.
