M-Audio Keystation 49e keys not working on GarageBand, over Snow Leopard in a MacBook Air. Worked fine with the older XOS. Now only volume, pitch and modulation controls are working. Any ideas? Thanks!

You will have to assign the i/o setting in your DAW's prefrences.

HI,

You can get it from:

It sounds like a hardware issue, you will need to get your keyboard repaired

If you are referring to locked in regards to your user administrator account, all you have to do is take your Mac OS X installation disc and run the Password Reset utility to reset your password and gain access back into your Macbook Air once again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

BOOT TO TIGER/LEOPARD or SNOW LEOAPRD DISK-
• Place your installation Disk (Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard) into your drive and
allow it to load.
• Restart your Mac
• As soon as you hear the Apple Chime, press the "C" key on your keyboard
and hold it.
• You will see a White Screen, Grey Apple first, do not release the C key until you
see a Spinning gear.
• Once you see that Spinning gear, release your C key and allow the disc to
continue loading

- RESETTING ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD-
(Works for both Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard))

• When the booting to the Mac OS X disc is completed, you will now be in the
Installer environment
• Enter to next page, look up on upper left corner you should see "Installer" near
the Apple menu.
• Two spaces over you should see Utilities. Click Utilities>Reset Password.

• Select your user name from the drop down list and reset your password.

• When you are done, simply exit the Reset Password and Installer and reboot.

• At the Login window, enter your new password and you should be back into your home profile.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!

who cares its just a millisecond and its just takes a while for it to load on the computer nobody actually counts the time it takes

Thanks Francois. This is good advice. It is posted in the problems and questions section of musical instrument repairs.

I washaving troubles with 410 in my new macbook pro osX10.6.1. I tried to update and... now is not working anymore!
Does any install snow leopard beta driver on regular leopard? Does it works?

you should go to your  utilities --> audio midi setup and make sure your system is recognising your midi device. Play around with your midi settings, see if you can get something going.
Otherwise the problem maybe with the software clashing with Leopard. Double check on the manufactures website that their software is compatible with 10.5.6, or they may have an update for you.
Thirdly you could check if you keyboard is working correctly by opening garage band and making a new software instrument track, press record and see if you get any thing.
Good Luck hope this helps.

I just found this in the M-Audio forums. I've just called the number and left a message at M-Audio requesting a callback. I'm really hoping that tech support will have a solution for whatever is causing this malfuntion. . . I'll post here again when the parts come.

Buy a Mac, Then you won't have that problem.
