Mac safari not working in 10.6.8 - How To fix Safari in Snow Leopard

Just recently my Mac Safari stopped working, I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and I did nothing to provoke it ;-)

I went online looking for a fix but could find nothing for Snow Leopard and the other instructions appeared to relate to another system.

I've worked it out and put together this short video showing you how I did it.

Here is how to fix the hanging Safari.

If you find the video useful please give it a thumbs up.

Thanks fixed1t

Why do Mac Garageband Instruments become Pianos on the iPad? This is there a work around?

Unfortunately, there are no Mac equivalents to the iPad Smart Instruments as the Mac obviously does not have a touch sensitive screen.

The software instruments on the Mac are therefore standard midi instruments.

Therefore any instrument iPad Smart instrument that goes to the Mac is converted into a standard midi instrument, so when it returns to the iPad it is no longer smart and cannot be substituted for another smart instrument.

As I show in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHNRILXGEH4

If you create anything using the standard Mac Software instruments and export it to the iPad it shows exactly what it is but plays as a piano on the iPad as shown in my video.

What I have done with the fixed1t instruments is modify a set of iPad instruments so they are polyphonic standard midi instruments on the Mac.

Therefore when they are moved back to the iPad they play the sound they are supposed to.

 But....

They are no longer smart instruments.. 

and they show as standard piano instruments, but if you play the piano keys they are in fact still the same sounding instrument but playing from piano keys. This means that you can continue to work on they and have the sound you want.

I hope this clarifies things.

fixed1t software running on 10.6 - 10.8

Hi, I was asked by a user if the fixed1t software was compatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8). Like a number of fellow musicians running excellent legacy ppc software that has not been ported to the intel platform, I've stayed with Mac OS 10.6 for compatibility. However, I download a copy of 10.8 from the App Store and installed 10.8 as a clean install on the remainder of the disk. I'm pleased to announce that all of the fixed1t software tools worked perfectly. My software is compatible with 10.6 - 10.8. Regards fixed1t

Can I wifi midi my iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch to my Mac PC?


Yes

Absolutely, I do it all the time and its built into the mac for free hiding in the Utilities Folder in the Applications Folder.

To do it you

Open the Audio Midi Setup


Under the Window pull down menu you select   show midi window

In the Midi Studio Window you double click on the purple Network icon


This brings you up a Midi Network Setup window


Now go to your synth or midi App on the iPad e.g. I used the brilliant Arturia iMini and select the midi 5 pin din at it will pop up with

Network Session 1   switched on

If you now go back to Midi Network Setup window

You'll see in the lower right directory window that your iPad Name is listed

Click the + in the My Session above

Session 1  will appear tick the box

Connect is highlighted below in the directory window click it.

now set the network session in and out as per the picture and your ready to go

Open your midi app on the Mac  and play it and the iMini will sound the notes.

If you have iPad Midi Monitor

opening the app will show session 1 active and notes you play will control synths on your mac, If you have mac midi monitor open it and you will see the notes being played.


If you use Garageband then please check out my  other garageband entries, you wont be disappointed.
