    Hi guys, I installed everything, VE works on my computer (Mac OSX 10.4.10) only Standalone. In Logic 8 no reconnect, Message: not able to create server object. Maybe networkport is in use... What Network Port is VE using. Is there a workaround? Best Oliver

    Hi, Vienna Team, and fellow composers, on my G5 Quad the Preferences button in VE Services vanished. I changed the server name "Apple Computer" and entered a password. Now the Pref botton is gone and even in the menubar it is only greyed. How can i get access to the servername? Will this probably bring back VE to run as a Plug -in in L8? So far it runs only as standalone and slave. Please help urgently!!! Maya, Paul, CM ???!!! Best Oliver

    Ensemble crashes Logic 8 validation here too. It scans the plug, and opens the standalone, and that's it. Standalone is functioning by itself, though. 10.4.10 PPC Dual 2.5 6gig

    Hi everybody,

    please make sure that you are using the latest Vienna Ensemble available in your User Area.

    With this new version, please quit the VE Server with the first validation, everything will run smoothly afterwards!

    This is also documented in the Vienna Ensemble Manual, of course.

    Oliver, we have thrown out the "Preferences" button in the new version (not necessary, there was no need to enter any password), please make sure to use the latest available version!

    Best,

    Paul

    Paul, I am using Version 2 but it never passes validation. When I try to stop the VE server, it locks up L8 and thus never actually passes the AU manager. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi,

    do you close the VE Server window when you are validating the AU (as documented in the manual)?

    This will work with the latest available version!

    Hi Paul, thanks for the quick reply! VE is updated and validated, still I get this message: Unable to create Server Object. The Server application might be already running, or the requested network port is not available What (the hell) can I do? Thanks in advance Oliver

    Dear oliverheuss & geosonic,

    please uninstall Vienna Ensemble manually as follows:

    1. Trash the Vienna Ensemble folder from Macintosh HD/Applications

    2. Trash the Vienna Ensemble plugin files from Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components and /VST

    3. Trash the VSL Custom Data folder from Macintosh HD/Users/Shared

    4. Trash the Preference files:
    -com.vsl.vsldirs1.plist
    -com.vsl.vslfrontend.plist
    -com.vsl.appPresets.plist (if this one is not there, please do not worry!)
    from Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences

    5. Trash the receipt files:

    @ geosonic: please follow the instructions in our VE user manual page 5 (AU Validation Mac) to solve your validation trouble

    I hope that helps!

    Best,

    Maya

    Thanks Paul and Maya. Maya, I was able to get VE working without the uninstall. I did however run Onxy which may have helped. I had been closing the server as described in the manual to no avail (even allowing time for the initial plug load as described) I'm not sure what did the trick as I did quite a few things. I think I allowed the validation lots more time to process is probably the biggest differece. I allowed it to sit and think for about 15 minutes in total between the 1st licenses scan and final closing of the server. The biggest news though is how happy I am! VE seems like exactly what we've all been needing. Very slick! Thanks VSL guys! Cheers...

    Hi Oliver,

     

    After the uninstall routine, have you actually downloaded and installed the version of Vienna Ensemble currently available at http://vsl.co.at/en/68/375/377/239.htm or have you run your old installer?

     

    If you are unsure, please go through the uninstall routine once more and try again with the latest update of Vienna Ensemble 2.0, now labelled RC2, from 11-8-2007!

     

    Does that help? 

     

    Best, Marnix

    Hi Marnix, i did download and install the latest update from your website. It didn´t help. BTW Validation is not a problem. Can it be something in the network settings that has been changed through installation? Cheers Oliver

    i just read *... or the network port is unavailable* .... have you by chance put the OS X firewall into stealth mode or running some beast like zone alarm or norton? then make sure port 6179 TCP and UDP is open for local calls.

    Hi Christian, my OSX Firewall IS off. No beasts running. Where can I find "6179 TCP" and how can I open UDP for local calls. Best Oliver

    it has been just an idea ... if nor firewall is running no need to enable a port manually

    Hi guys, I updated OSX to 10.4.11 on my Quad. Since then VI are gone, no validation possible! VE is still there. How can I get back VI. Installers won´t let me install. Was it a mistake to update OSX 4.11??? Urgent-Best Oliver

    most probable it might turn up to be a permissions issue - run disk utility against your system volume and repair permissions, then reboot and validate manually.

    just solved a similar issue after upgrading from 10.4.8 to 10.4.10 ...

     

    generally you should make sure to reboot before and after and have nothing running during an update - be it the operating system or an application - also check permissions after every update.

    ps: write to apple requesting to fix this
