169.254.***.*** driving me insane
Posted: 27 Mar 2012 14:05
First, I had this working fine before. I used it a few times since I got it, 3 days ago. Last night I wanted to make some funky beats, but instead spent 3 hours trying to connect the Lemur. 3 hours. 3 f'ing hours. Finally fed up and tired I figured I would try again this morning. After 1 hour of trying and 1 hour online searching the forum, I figure it is time to post before I have a stepped on MBP and new iPad. I bought this iPad strictly due to Lemur.
I have:
Macbook Pro
iPad (3rd gen)
I am trying to get Ambivalent Beats to work, connecting the iPad to Live. I DID have it working before, and can not think of anything that changed.
The problem seems to be the Ad Hoc connection, and people have had this issue, because if I look up 169.254 on the forum there are some posts, however no one has been nice enough to post what actually fixed it for them. I WILL do that if someone can help me get this running.
Note: I have rebooted the MBP and the iPad numerous times.
Note: I just connected Traktor to Lemur, so the iPad MBP connection is working. However, if I try to connect the Lemur Editor to the iPad, using the i.p. in the iPad (169.254.26.163), Lemur Editor closes as soon as I hit ok.
So, I create a network, name it foo, use ch 11, and no password.
Then go to the iPad, connect to that network, and I do NOT get an i.p. address.
If I open lemur, after a few seconds I can click MIDI and select a Daemon Output and Input. Apparently at that point it connects via wifi.
At that point it will show up on Lemur Daemon, but sometimes it will disappear. This makes me think my Ad Hoc is flakey, but why?
I use Little Snitch (which was not a problem before) and something I noticed is that if I go into Live and drag over Ambivalent Beats to the Midi Channel, I will get:
"Live wants to connect to 192.168.0.10 on UDP port 8000 (irdmi)"
Why is it connecting to 192.168.0.10? It seems Live now wants to connect to that because it worked for it before.
If I tell Little Snitch to allow it to communicate on any port etc, it still does not work. Just wondering why it asks to connect to that i.p. address, considering Lemur/iPad will not always be on that I.P.
Another question is, do you have to use an Ad Hoc, or can you just connect the iPad via usb and use this. I really dont care which I use I just want it to work!
Help is GREATLY appreciated.
