Leopard problems

[Axxex]

NOBODY GET problems in leopard using the usb TI audio drivers?

latest v251

I have in the ActivityMonitor process the voice UserEventAgent not responding i get it immediatly after installed the virus ti drivers, just remove the de.access-music.virus_ti.plugin from library/audio/plugins/HAL folder and no more crashes for the usereventagent. But it means cant use virus TI usb audio.

Some body runs leopard and have the same issues?

[googe]

yep, same deal here. I cant believe leopard has been out this long and still no word from access on a driver update. it's not even a big fix, all of my other hardware (even digidesign!) works out of the box or has a patch.

i also get that usereventagent issue, and I had no idea what was causing it. makes sense that it would be the virus driver!

yet, they still released their new product (virus ti snow). another case of neglecting existing customers and just focusing on new ones. :(

A lesson: Never upgrade OS without making sure all you existing apps/plugs/whatever is compatible

A lesson for upgraders indeed. However, its not much wisdom for someone (me) who bought a Mac for the first time and can't use a couple of devices which work fine with XP/Vista. I can't even get Tiger disks while waiting for full Leopard compatibility. What's with that Apple?

Fortunately I actually wanted a Mac and not trying to look cool with the 'creatives'.

I just sent them an email via their web form. I encourage those that are looking for a leopard update to share their sentiments as well. Maybe they think there is no demand for it.

That's unfortunate. The beauty of the Mac is you can usually plug in ANYTHING and it ALWAYS seems to work. Even without a driver most the time. At least that's been my experience for the last 13 years.

I always stay a little behind with my OS anyway. I'll probably run 10.4 for a while now. Don't fix it if it's not broken I guess.

and thats how it is with macs. anything thats suppose to work with a mac works with a mac, just plug it in. i'm running 10.5.2, old tiger firewire solo drivers, logic 8 and virus as au plug and it all works like its suppose to.

windowz is another story. it's a piece of shit anyway you look a it, and with each release it gets worse. and so that i don't get flamed for saying this, i was running windowz os since 3.11/ms dos (which btw was the most stable and fun to use), had 95 (what a disaster) , 98 (a slight improvement), 2000nt (ms' attempt to be stable), xp (8 year old 2000nt os in a out-of-date skin, thought now "most" stable), and recently tried vista (for ppl who run vista you might as well buy a carriage with a horse and call it a car). in november i had enough and now happily running os x. i will never again run any microshit os.
i have no issues with PCs, i mean, macs and pcs run the same hardware. my quirks are with what's running them.

and a question. why would run virus ti as a usb audio interface? if u can afford a mac, and a 3k synth i'm sure u can afford a 200$ dedicated firewire/usb audio interface.

adrian,

Mac's are great and everything just works, and yet we are talking about the TI drivers and Leopard not working. I have a lifetime of support of PC's to have good reason to hate a lot about them, but XP is stable and all my gear worked on it. After 4 months of the release of Leopard I thought it was safe to get a Mac - and 2 of my devices do not have up-to-date drivers. Personally the audio interface of the TI is not the most important aspect, but I wanted to use it temporarily while my firewire interface was waiting on its driver. I'm going to guess everyone on Leopard has the UserEventAgent error and just doesn't know it. Whatever is wrong, I don't want it on my lovely new Mac.

I know enough about computers to know that everyone's experience is completely different. From the moment you first switch it on, your experience is uniquely yours. Have you set up 20 computers out of the box all with the manufacturer's disk image? They don't all do the same thing - I've seen it over and over again. Your firewire solo driver is incompatible with Leopard - M-audio are working on it but the new beta is quite good. I suspect you just haven't noticed the exceptions going on under the hood.

PC's have a shocking history of bugs and bad design. But Mac's have a bad habit of major changes leaving the user waiting for application and driver upgrades.

I'm going to tactfully avoid attacking the two key manufacturers involved who should have compatible drivers at this point in time. I bought a new Mac and didn't get a good experience out of it.

Cheers,
B

I have two mac right now (but I come from the pc world) and I soon buy a macbook pro, I'm not considering myself a mac fun cos I think that a good computer is the one who do everything I need. So for now I stay with mac and still have to see this Leopard system... anyway, I don't think that what you say it's a problem related to apple... take a windows XP or windows Vista pc, don't load any driver and try to connect your virus T or any other audio device... now since they don't work load their driver and all will work (uh not 100% of the times) perfectly. Switch to the mac, install leopard and plug your audio device in it (at least 50% of them already work without loading anything), then load the drivers for the device which isn't supported by the system... wait there is no driver!? HEY APPLE!!!??? now read the two words in capital letters... and say if they have any sense... you should replace the second one with the manufacturer of your product... insn't it more fair?

I don't think anyone is blaming Apple. They anounce change and give developers beta versions to ensure their products are compatible at the time of a significant new release such as Leopard. On the other hand, Mac fans who claim it all just works need a few more knocks in life to understand how dumb that point of view is.

The driver developers *could* have had leopard compatible drivers at the time of Leopard's first release. Or, *could* have advised their loyal customers of incompatibility and how long to wait for it. Why didn't the first option happen? And if there was a good reason for it, why didn't option 2 happen? I would really like to know, geez if I developed the TI, I would be doing everything to have my baby running on the current computer platforms. If it was me, my life would be on hold until the TI worked with Leopard.

I just know that Digital Performer was perfect since leopard was released... and drivers for motu device too... so, maybe there are some problems with access... ie: I have a triton and core midi see it natively and gives me the complete patch name list... nothing similar with the virus B or the motif es rack... so I just think that simply apple can't wait for each manufacturer to stay in time updating their drivers. Think at windows vista... in the early period only a few software was compatible, and it takes some time for delveloper to update software and drivers. Today that is the way apple and microsoft (the two big) work, so we have just to be patient and clever (I still didn't update to leopard since I know it's still a sort of beta).
